Chapter 39 The Ruthless Character Who Wants It All
"Sister-in-law is hungry. I'll get you some porridge." Mo Yunfei said and ran out while touching his forehead.
He walked and muttered, "Sister Xiaoli's head is so hard, it hit me so hard that it made me see stars."
"Xiao Fei, what are you mumbling about? Look back, I have a bruise on my forehead." Xiao Li's heart sank into her stomach when she realized that her forehead was hurt.
"Don't go and serve the porridge. I'll get up and wash up, and then we'll eat together." Lu Zhitao called him with a smile.
"Yuan Zhen, please take her pulse and see if you are okay." Mo Lengzhou ordered worriedly.
"Miss Lu, please give me your hand." Yuan Zhen was also afraid that Xiaoli would worry.
Several pairs of eyes shuttled back and forth between Yuan Zhen's face and Lu Zhitao's hands.
"Miss Lu is in good health. Apart from malnutrition, she has no other illness." Yuan Zhen took her pulse for a long time before coming to this conclusion.
"Are you really okay?" Mo Lengzhou asked worriedly. If he was fine, why would he faint from anger? He remembered that his father had been so angry that he vomited blood several times but he didn't faint.
"I guarantee that Miss Lu is really fine. Even if my medical skills are not good, I can definitely tell whether she is sick or not." Yuan Zhen assured again and again.
"Don't worry, I know I'm fine. Besides, Yuan Zhen is an excellent doctor. If he says there's no illness, then there's really no illness." Lu Zhitao assured.
The book says that Yuan Zhen's medical skills are better than his grandfather's, who was the most powerful imperial physician in the palace.
Seeing that Lu Zhitao believed in Yuan Zhen, Mo Lengzhou said nothing more. He believed her.
He didn't know how Yuan Zhen's medical skills compared to those of doctors outside, after all, none of them had ever left Mojia Village.
Seeing that Mo Lengzhou was still worried, Lu Zhitao changed the subject, "Look at you, you look haggard, and your eyes are bloodshot!"
Mo Lengzhou tilted his head and touched his face nervously, "Does it look ugly?"
He didn't care before, but in front of her, he didn't want to make any mistakes.
"It would be strange if you look good with scarlet eyes!" Lu Zhitao complained casually. She didn't know that Mo Lengzhou also cared about his appearance.
"Yuan Zhen, do you have any special medicine? Go and get it for me." Mo Lengzhou said, shielding his eyes.
"You just need to get some sleep and you'll be fine. I don't have any special medicine." Yuan Zhen felt that Mo Lengzhou was making a fuss out of nothing.
"But how can I face people like this now?" Mo Lengzhou said worriedly.
Seeing that Mo Lengzhou was serious, Lu Zhitao quickly tried to make amends, "Go wash your face and you'll look good. You'll look good no matter when or from which angle you look at it."
Mo Lengzhou looked at her with ardent eyes: "You are also very beautiful and cute no matter when or from which angle you look at it."
Lu Zhitao's heart was pounding under Mo Lengzhou's burning gaze, and she quickly got out of bed to wash up.
While eating, Lu Zhitao realized that the new well in the village had produced a lot of water, which had soaked the surrounding land.
The women had not eaten all day, and in order to please the elders, they kept turning the soil on an empty stomach.
Half of the young people in the village were scooping water, and the other half were digging a well. They saw the village chief bringing Lu Zhitao over.
No one dared to look up at her, and they just concentrated on their work even harder. How could they dare to offend someone who could drive their village chief crazy?
Seeing everyone taking off their clothes and digging the ground with the excavator, Lu Zhitao shouted, "It's getting dark. Go eat and continue digging the well tomorrow."
"Miss Lu, if we rest for a while, the water will be full. If it is left overnight, will the well overflow?" asked the elder of the Ning clan worriedly.
"It's just right that it overflows, so we don't have to scoop water for watering the land. It would be better to water the surrounding land thoroughly, and then plant cabbage and radishes. Isn't that good?" Lu Zhitao asked curiously.
"Okay, okay, very good. What Miss Lu said makes a lot of sense. You can go and eat now and continue digging every day." The elder of the Ning clan was very happy.
"Miss Lu, they've worked all day today. Can you give them some wolf meat soup?"
A strong man pointed at a group of women and asked, because his wife was there.
"Well, work harder and talk less in the future. I'll forgive them this time. As for the soup, it's up to your elders."
When Lu Zhitao saw Jingshui, her supernatural powers were upgraded again and she was in a particularly good mood, so she generously forgave them.
"Come here quickly to thank Miss Lu, and then go to the kitchen to get the wolf meat soup." The Ning clan elder shouted immediately.
The women in their village usually don't work. They either stay at home taking care of children or doing laundry and gossiping.
Today I saw them working in an orderly manner and seemed very motivated. It turns out they were wrong!
They should be allowed to participate in labor so that women can have a sense of belonging and will not think of running away.
"Miss Lu, the third sister-in-law of the Huo family who just came to the village said she has potato seeds." When the elder Zuo saw Lu Zhitao wake up, he thought of the potato seeds again.
"She has potato seeds? What conditions will she want to exchange them for us?" Lu Zhitao asked calmly.
In fact, she was so excited that she almost screamed.
Potatoes!
She hadn't eaten it for more than 20 years, and her mouth started watering just thinking about potatoes.
"She said she would use 200 kilograms of potato seeds in exchange for her family leaving the village. What do you think, Miss Lu?" The Zuo elder stepped forward and asked excitedly.
He was very anxious because there was no food in the village. He just wanted to protect the young master from leaving the village and being discovered by the royal family.
He was not so anxious about not having women, so deep down he really wanted potato seeds in exchange for them leaving the village.
But the elder of the Yan clan didn't seem to think so. He wanted to marry a daughter-in-law and have a big fat grandson!
"You guys should handle this matter yourselves." Lu Zhitao said, pinching her chin. She didn't know what the villagers thought.
When she saw that the male and female protagonists looked exactly like her scumbag boyfriend and adopted sister in the apocalypse, she wanted to kill them.
Since the laws of nature cannot suppress her and the male and female protagonists, she thinks it is best to let them go so as not to make her feel upset when seeing them.
But she also knew that Mojia Village was short of women, and they wanted to keep the Huo family, so she couldn't force them to do anything.
Besides, her fiancée relationship with Mo Lengzhou was still fake, so she had to get more seeds from Song Zhuxin first before making any plans.
"What did the village chief say?" Seeing that Lu Zhitao didn't want to say anything, the Zuo clan elder turned to Mo Lengzhou and asked.
"If you have any good suggestions, you can tell Miss Lu. Her opinions are my opinions, and I will listen to her in everything."
As soon as Mo Lengzhou finished speaking, the Zuo clan elder urgently suggested: "Miss Lu, I don't think it's necessary to keep them. It would be better to exchange them for some seeds."
The elder of the Yan clan suggested gloomily: "Miss Lu, I think we should keep them and force her to hand over the potato seeds."
Lu Zhitao felt that Clan Elder Yan was a ruthless character who wanted everything. If the male and female protagonists had no grudge against her, she would adopt Clan Elder Zuo's opinion.
Lu Zhitao could only pretend to be fair and said, "Where are they now? Let's go over and ask them what potato seeds are."
"Miss Lu, please. They are in the pigpen now. I will take you there." The elder of the Yan clan bent down and made a gesture of invitation.
