Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

Chapter 38 Buying a Water Tank

When Ke Hongxiu stopped writing, he actually wrote a thick stack of paper, which turned into a thick book when bound.

"Ke Muqing, you said you have such a good brain, why didn't you read more books and practice calligraphy before getting married?"

Ke Hongxiu dried the ink and stared at Ke Muqing's head, "It has been so many years since I saw the recipes, but you can still remember them all. I really admire you."

Ke Hongxiu felt embarrassed looking at the thick menu on the table.

"You gave me so many recipes, enough to change the entire menu in our restaurant. I can't just take yours for free. Can you give me a price?"

"Shut up now." Ke Muqing left the study with the little baby who had fallen asleep in her arms and said as she walked, "I'm not telling you to make money from you, we are sisters after all. Although we haven’t interacted with each other for a long time, I also hope that your family will live a better life."

"It's all yours, and I can't take it for nothing. If you can give me so many recipes, I know you care about my sister." Ke Hongxiu chased after her.

Seeing that Ke Hongxiu didn't want to take advantage of her, Ke Muqing said again, "Now that I have some wealth in my hands, and your boys are spending money, then just treat it like I put the money with you first, and you Spend it first, and it won’t be too late to give it to you when my father and I come back from Lingnan in the future, or when your family goes to Lingnan to visit us in the future.”

Seeing that Ke Muqing was indeed not pretending to reject Ke Hongxiu, he agreed.

"I didn't expect that I, Ke Hongxiu, would be able to take advantage of you, Ke Muqing, one day. Now I think you are a better eldest sister than any other eldest sister." Ke Hongxiu praised with a smile.

After boasting, Ke Hongxiu sighed again.

"I just feel empty when I think that dad will take you all south soon, and I will be the only one left here." Ke Hongxiu sighed when mentioning the Yin family, "Although my family has not been as good as before in the past two years, But it’s much better than ordinary people’s lives, and the Xuelian family’s life has indeed been tight in the past two years.”

"Although Yin Tang wants to go to Lingnan to explore the news, the main reason is because escorting prisoners is profitable, and there are some subsidies from the Yamen. The job is hard work, but it can make money."

In the past, no one in the Yin family would go to the drudgery of escorting prisoners to places of exile. There was money to be made in the yamen, so who would be willing to earn hard money?

"There are always new opportunities when we go south, but you..." Ke Muqing tried to persuade, "Think it over carefully before we set off. If we really don't want to go south, we can quietly take advantage of the fact that food prices have not risen again in recent days. Store more food on the ground, find someone to dig an extra well at home, which is deeper than ordinary wells, and build the walls at home higher and stronger."

"The husbands at home can't just study. They should exercise as soon as possible to have a good body. Not to mention that if there is forced conscription in the future and suddenly go to the battlefield, they will also have the ability to protect themselves. Take the scientific examination. The exam lasts for several days, and it’s not enough if you don’t have good health. Every time there are many people fainting in the examination room.”

"Yes." Ke Hongxiu agreed, "I will talk to them when my father-in-law comes back."

The sun was still early and Ke Muqing didn't stay at Lou's house longer. She refused Ke Hongxiu's offer to stay the night and left with her things.

After leaving the building, Ke Muqing did not leave the county immediately. Instead, he went to a shop that sold large water tanks. He directly bought several large water tanks and brewing tanks in the shop and asked the store to deliver the items a mile outside the city. After unloading it, he said he was waiting here for his son to drive the oxcart to pick him up. In fact, after the store owner left, Ke Muqing directly put the things into the space.

Later, I spent five cents and took a ox cart along the way to Wangshan Town Medical Center.

When Ke Muqing arrived, Yang Xiufang and Yang Xiuxiang's family members were all there. They were not here to take them back, but were just preparing to leave after visiting Yang Xiu'e. Ke Muqing slapped his thigh when he saw these people, and then he remembered that he had forgotten to tell Ke Hongxiu about this. With Ke Hongxiu's bad temper, he was going to scold her next time they met.

He scolded her for such a big deal, but he didn't even know to tell her, his own sister, when they met.

"The in-laws are here~" Ke Muqing carried the food box and greeted her, "I have children to take care of at home, and there are so many things to be busy with. Why do I have to go all the way? I would like to thank you all on behalf of Xiu'e."

"They are all relatives. It's okay if you don't know. If you know, you will come to see the child." Widow Wu said, "There were a lot of things at home yesterday, and the child couldn't be separated from others, so I only sent Xiu Fang and Xiu Xiang to come to town first. Help take care of their eldest sister."

The two families had been there for a while, and were about to take the children back when they happened to see Ke Muqing. They stood at the door of the hospital and chatted for a while, and then left with the food box that Ke Muqing brought from the Lin family.

After seeing off the guest Ke Muqing and the others, they returned to the wing where Yang Xiu'e was.

When he went in, he saw that Yang Jiye was also there. When he saw Yang Xiu'e's frown, Ke Muqing began to roll up his sleeves.

"Mother! Mother! This is outside. My son is already so big. I don't want to do anything. At least I can save my face~" Yang Jiye felt pain all over his body when he saw Ke Muqing's actions.

"What did I tell you when I went out in the morning? I asked you to stay at home. Why are you in town?" Ke Muqing asked.

"Didn't I come to see Xiu'e?" Yang Jiye responded quickly. Seeing that Ke Muqing was still glaring at him, his voice gradually became softer. "By the way, I'm going to ask Xiu'e and the other two to persuade my mother not to be confused."

This is the purpose. Seeing that Ke Muqing loves her daughter recently, she wants to find the three sisters to persuade Ke Muqing not to sell her land.

Yang Xiu'e felt very guilty, "Mom, I heard that ginseng was used in the medicine my daughter drank. It costs a lot of money to treat my daughter's body? The family has no money, so mom sold the land, right?"

"Don't think nonsense. Before my mother knew about you, she had already agreed with your grandfather to sell the land and move the family south. The sale of the land at home has nothing to do with you. Besides, the ginseng you ate in the first place was given by your grandfather. Yes, the ginseng I ate after that was not old enough from the medical clinic, and it cost a few bucks."

Ke Muqing glared at Yang Jiye fiercely, "I know Xiu'e thinks too much, but you don't know how to explain it. You are deliberately making her blame herself to persuade me, right? Let's see how I deal with you, a traitor!"

Yang Jiye shrank his neck and did not dare to answer.

"The land has been sold and the Yamen has been stamped." Ke Muqing said, "So from now on, keep your thoughts to me! From today on, pack up the things at home. When you have time, go and ask who owns it. I want to sell the cattle, or learn how to drive a carriage, and then my family will buy a carriage."

Yang Jiye left the wing with a mournful face and went to the door where he squatted alone, feeling depressed.

When Ke Muqing saw the three sisters looking at her, he explained to them in a low voice.
