There is Room For the First Wife

As she walked, Lu Jiao asked the shopkeeper Li beside her, "Do you have pepper and star anise in your store?"

Shopkeeper Li looked over in surprise: "Yes, what is the lady going to buy this for?"

Lu Jiao smiled and said, "It's useful."

At this time, the prickly ash and star anise were all used to make medicine. She couldn't say that she would take it back to cook, she should be regarded as a lunatic.

Lu Jiao took a few steps and asked, "Is there any plaster?"

Gypsum was also used as medicine in ancient times. I don't know if Baohetang has it.

She wanted to use gypsum to make tofu. Before, she always wanted to find a way to make a living for the Lu family, and then she wanted to teach them to make tofu, but to make tofu requires brine or gypsum to make tofu. The salt field is not here, so you can only use gypsum to make tofu. , I don't know if the store has it.

The shopkeeper turned around to look at Lu Jiao, only to think that this country lady was very strange, why did she always ask about strange medicinal herbs, which were rarely used.

"Yes, ma'am."

Lu Jiao immediately grinned, and in a good mood took out the medicine list that Dr. Zhou had prescribed earlier.

"According to the recipe, we will match ten pairs. In addition, please weigh half a catty of each of the pepper, star anise, and fennel leaves for me. You can weigh as much gypsum as you have in your store."

The shopkeeper saw that she bought a pass, and didn't know what to say: "Miss, what are you doing?"

"Dispensing medicine."

Shopkeeper Li had a look of disbelief, what kind of medicine could these things be mixed with, but since Lu Jiao didn't want to say it, it was hard to ask.

Lu Jiao took the opportunity to ask her again, "Do you Baohetang accept all kinds of medicinal materials?"

Shopkeeper Li nodded: "Well, I accept all kinds of medicinal materials, but the price of the prepared ones is a little higher, and the stolen money is much cheaper without the concocted ones. Does the lady want to sell the medicinal materials?"

Lu Jiao nodded: "Well, in the future, please take care of Shopkeeper Li."

Shopkeeper Li thought of the fifty-year-old Lingzhi that Lu Jiao had sold, and his face looked much better: "Okay."

The two of them went to the front, and the shopkeeper personally dispensed the medicine for Lu Jiao, but at the same time he was making rounds to inquire about what Lu Jiao wanted for the pepper and star anise, Lu Jiao was stunned.

The shopkeeper also admired her, this lady looks fat and stupid, but she is shrewd.

"A total of seventy-two or sixty copper coins. If the fraction is wiped off, let's count it as seventy-two."

Lu Jiao looked at the seventy taels who had lost her eyes in the blink of an eye, and sighed again about the preciousness of the ancient medicinal materials: "Thank you, Manager Li."

With a smile, Lu Jiao put the prepared medicine in the back basket, and put away the 130 taels of silver settled by the shopkeeper. Originally, the shopkeeper wanted to give her a 100 tael bill.

Lu Jiao refused. She had the space, so she was not afraid to put more money, but Manager Li looked at her worriedly, but didn't say much.

Lu Jiao took the money into the space by putting out the medicinal herbs.

She packed up, carried the bag and left, there are still a lot of things to buy.

Because she had money in her pocket, Lu Jiao then let go of her hands and feet to buy a special one, 30 jins of rice, 30 jins of white noodles, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. Don't be afraid, buy it! Clothes, buy!

However, there were no children's ready-to-wear in the clothing store, so she could only buy cloth to wear, but bought two for Xie Yunjin.

As for herself, she didn't buy a single pudding. She had to wait for her to lose weight before buying it. Now that she's so fat, she doesn't look good in anything she wears.

In the end, I bought the candy and cakes that the little guy likes to eat, and went to the blacksmith shop to buy a hatchet and a hoe. I didn't expect these two things to be expensive, but even if they were expensive, Lu Jiao gritted her teeth and bought them.

With this purchase, I lost more than a dozen taels of silver in my pocket, but Lu Jiao was very satisfied with the purchase, it was really cool to buy it!

Seeing that it was getting late, she packed up and went straight to the place where the bullock cart was parked earlier.

At this time, everyone has arrived, and she is only waiting for her.

When Xie Lan saw her coming, she immediately became annoyed: "I don't know what kind of messy things I bought again. I won't use all my third brother's money for medicine, right?"

Lu Jiao immediately sneered unceremoniously: "I hope your family has five taels of silver, your third brother is dead long ago, and it's not ashamed to spend five taels of silver every day to talk about it, I bought ten pairs this time, you are planning to subsidize it. me?"

Lu Jiao put all the rice, noodles, sweets, and cakes into the space. There were only ten medicinal herbs of Xie Yunjin in the back basket, as well as other items such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc. The people in the car saw it at a glance.

Thinking of what Xie Erzhu said before, five or two to buy three medicines, these ten medicines will cost more than ten taels of silver.

Actually, they didn't know that they used fifty taels for the ten sets.

The people on the ox cart couldn't help sighing. People in the countryside can't get sick. Xie Lan didn't say a word, only gouging out Lu Jiao with her eyes.

Lu Jiao didn't bother to pay attention to her either. Xie Xiaojuan on one side stretched out her hand and squeezed Lu Jiao's hand, indicating that she should ignore Xie Lan, an idiot. Her brother is now taking care of this sister-in-law. ?

The ox cart drove back all the way. Because it was not far away, it quickly rushed back to the village. It was just that the ox cart just arrived at the entrance of the village when a small figure ran over and shouted.

"Third grandma, my grandma told you to go home immediately, something happened to your house."

Lu Jiao looked around quickly and found that it was Datou who was running over, and immediately asked impatiently, "Datou, what happened?"

Datou ran out of breath and couldn't say for a while: "Big girl... rob... Da Bao and the others... beaten..."

Xie Tieniu saw Lu Jiao's anxiety and said, "I'll take you home."

Lu Jiao nodded quickly, but there was no objection from the others on the bullock cart, only Shen Xiu's face was a little unsightly, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Before, she heard Datou say big girl, grab, it wasn't her brother's big girl fighting with Xie Sange's child, right?

Shen Xiu couldn't tell how anxious she was, her fingers clenched unconsciously.

The carriage quickly arrived at the west end of the village. Lu Jiao didn't wait for the ox carriage to stop before people jumped under the carriage. Xie Tie Niu was startled: "Slow down."

Lu Jiao couldn't take care of it so much. She went straight to the door with the basket on her back. She saw a lot of people standing inside and outside the fence of her house, and there were faint sounds of children crying.

Lu Jiao hurried to the front of the house. Before she got there, she heard the angry cries of children coming from the hospital.

"Shen Daniu, you're a thief, you come to my house to steal things, and let people beat us, you shameless bitch, you lose money, you little **** with a mother and no mother, when I grow up Fei ripped off your skin and cramped your tendons, so that you can't close your eyes even if you die."

"My God, this day is going to be over. Everyone comes to bully us. We might as well just bump into each other to death."

As soon as these two cries and scoldings landed, another clear and cold shout rang out: "Widow Li, are you deceiving my family? I'm not dead yet."

Lu Jiao was just walking to the door. When the people in front of the courtyard saw it was her, they quickly stepped aside. Some of them shouted, "Yun Jin's wife is back."

"This woman is very powerful now. I don't know how she will deal with Widow Li's family."

Lu Jiao ignored the villagers who were talking and looked up at the people in front of the yard.

Xie Yunjin was lying on the threshold, supporting her body with both hands, her eyes fixed on Widow Li, as if she wanted to kill Widow Li.

However, there was no blood on his face at all. Not only was there no blood on his face, but as he fell to the ground with a cold drink, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
