Chapter 180 - 180 Lu Jiao is Beautiful

180 Lu Jiao is Beautiful

Lu Jiao’s expression dropped. Where did this guy come from? Why was he acting so arrogant?

Lu Jiao responded unpleasantly, “I’m sorry. I cannot cure your illness.”

The elderly woman was not happy to hear that and stared down at Lu Jiao, “You didn’t even examine him! How can you conclude without checking him out?? I thought you were good?”

Lu Jiao raised an eyebrow, “No matter how good I am, I cannot cure everything. If you want to get better, go to the county.”

She gave no chance for them to respond and ordered, “Enough, you should go home.”

The elders’ faces changed drastically. The elderly woman straight up sat on the ground and cried, “If you don’t cure my old man today, I will not leave here!”

Before Lu Jiao could speak, Lady Ruan started to laugh, “What is this? I thought you were a miracle doctor. What kind of doctor are you if you cannot cure this?”

The noises startled Xie Yunjin and the four little ones, they rushed out and guarded Lu Jiao.

Xie Yunjin coldly glared at Lady Ruan, who shut up right away. He then asked Lu Jiao, “What’s happening?”

Lu Jiao pointed at the woman howling, “I said I can’t treat them so she’s crying.”

Xie Yunjin’s face dropped and snickered at the two elders, “You think my family is to be taken advantage of? How dare you cause a scene inside my home?”

He called out to the First Born, “First Born, go to our neighbor’s and tell brother Huzi to go to our county government office. Tell them there are people causing a scene at my home and ask the county magistrate to take these provokers.”

The First Born heard the request and turned to run.

The two elders were terrified and got up right away. They tried to get out of there but the old man had a bad leg and almost fell on his face.

At the gate, they cursed into Lu Jiao’s home, “What kind of doctor are you?? Miracle doctor my @ss! You can’t even cure such a small illness. You’re more of a scammer than a doctor!”

“I’m going home and telling everyone not to travel all the way here to seek treatment. It’s all lies!”

The two of them left while they continued to curse. Behind them, Lu Jiao was furious, “What kind of people are they?”

Xie Yunjin looked at her, “Come here.”

Lu Jiao glanced back and didn’t move, “Just talk from there.”

Xie Yunjin’s eyes dimmed and he pushed himself toward her. Seeing how hard he had to push the wheels, Lu Jiao walked to him and looked down, “What is it? Speak.”

XieYunjin gestured at her with his finger, telling her to bend down.

Lu Jiao knew right away that he had gotten another bad idea. Every time he came up with a scheme, he acted in this manner.

Lu Jiao was suddenly excited as she leaned down towards Xie Yunjin. Xie Yunjin whispered, “You can use this opportunity to announce to the public that you’ve been angered and you’ll no longer be treating patients for free.”

Lu Jiao’s eyes lit up. That was true. She could say she had been deeply offended and will no longer offer consultation to the general public.

“Okay.”

Lu Jiao smiled and Xie Yunjin’s mood lightened.

From nearby, Lady Ruan watched those two and found them to be eyesores. She almost went up to them and pushed them apart.

Though she didn’t end up physically doing so, she said with a long face, “How dare you act in such a manner under broad daylight?”

Lu Jiao snapped her neck towards Lady Ruan and grinned, “Mom, how come you still haven’t cleaned the kitchen? Aren’t you here to help me out? What have you done?”

Lu Jiao then retrieved the broom and shoved it in Lady Ruan’s hand.

“Here, help me sweep the yard.”

Lady Ruan was so angry she almost cursed. Lu Jiao’s eyes went cold and lowered her voice, “Are you going to sweep or not?”

Lady Ruan shuddered and subconsciously started to sweep. After some time, she recalled herself back to reality. As a mother-in-law, why was she listening to her daughter-in-law? Sweeping the yard?! Who did she think she was?

Lady Ruan tossed away the broom and wanted to curse Lu Jiao.

However, Lu Jiao was long gone. Xie Yunjin and the four little ones also went back into the house.

Lady Ruan finally realized the situation. It was mid-afternoon and she was sweeping her daughter-in-law’s yard by herself. Her son, daughter-in-law, and grandsons didn’t give a crap about her. The anger made Lady Ruan’s chest compress and her vision went dark.

She went into the living room in order to capture someone and cuss them out.

However, the village children arrived just then. It was time for their afternoon lesson.

The children included the Village and Clan Leaders’ grandsons. Lady Ruan didn’t dare to curse anymore. If she cursed, these children would tattletale and she would end up harming herself.

Lady Ruan swallowed her anger but the rage in her throat was suffocating. She wanted to walk out.

But that contract…

She endured.

No, she had to get that contract back.

She originally wanted to engage in a nice conversation with her son and ask him to give it to her. It appeared that there was no way that could happen.

Lady Ruan tiptoed to the east bedroom and peeked inside. There, Lu Jiao was practicing her writing.

Inside that old room, the lady was sitting up straight and tall. Her face had lost the chubbiness from before and she was now very pleasant to look at. Her skin was pale and bright, her eyelashes long and flapped up and down like two little fans.

Though Lady Ruan detested Lu Jiao, at this moment, she was stunned. She didn’t want to admit this but she had to admit that her third daughter-in-law was actually beautiful. Though she remained somewhat chubby, it didn’t impact her beauty.

Lady Ruan’s mood once again plummeted given how nice Lu Jiao appeared. She cursed, then she thought of ways to get Lu Jiao out of the bedroom so she could steal the contract.

Xie Yunjin was teaching the children in the living room. If she could get Lu Jiao to leave, she could sneak in and find that contract.

Xie Lan may not understand, but she did. There were two red thumbprints on the contract.

Lady Ruan pondered this when Xie Erzhu approached from outside the trellis. Lady Ruan got an idea and ran into the east bedroom and said to Lu Jiao, “Erzhu’s here. He wants to talk to you.”

Lu Jiao looked at Lady Ruan curiously. She wondered what this mother-in-law of hers was thinking of now. However, she was too lazy to figure it out.

Lu Jiao went outside and saw Xie Erzhu right away.

Xie Erzhu said to Lu Jiao, “Sister-in-law, the temporary pond for the leeches is ready. Do you want to go check it out?”

Without her approval, he felt uncertain.
