Chapter 148

On the way back, she thought about it clearly. If she could spend an extra 150 taels of silver every month, then she would be able to let the whole family live a life without worrying about food and clothing.

"You don't have to do anything, and he will give you 150 taels a month? I can't agree to this!" Ke Shuisheng said. He didn't have to do anything, and he would get money every month, which made him feel even more uneasy.

Ke Mengshi and Ke Zhongshi also nodded in agreement.

At this time, Kong Dafu also said hesitantly: "Xue'er, I...I also think that you can't promise Ai Dadong's family about this matter, at worst... at worst I won't pull the ox cart, I'd better go back to the town to live. "

"How can I do that? I bought all the cows, brother-in-law, how can you say that you won't pull it?" Ke Hanxue immediately objected when he heard Kong Dafu's words.

Ke Shuisheng fell silent after hearing what Kong Dafu said.

"But I can't let you go out and be laughed at because of Chun'er." Kong Dafu wondered.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry about this. Grandma, father, mother, Ai Dadong's family said that he will be away for at least half a year. Think about it, 150 taels of silver a month, but 900 taels for half a year. Can't make so much money?" Ke Hanxue tried hard to convince his family.

Ke Hanxue, who had been in the workplace for many years in her previous life, just wanted to let her family live a better life as soon as possible, so she wanted to give it a go, and she took helping Ai Yiyang to keep the property as her job.

She didn't believe that Ai Yiyang only left for half a year, and the property he had worked so hard for many years could really fall into the hands of others!

As soon as Ke Hanxue finished speaking, Ke Shuisheng said again: "Xue'er, no matter how much money you have, your reputation is not as important as your reputation. Your brother-in-law is right. At worst, the bullock cart will not be pulled, and he will go back to live in the town! "

From the perspective of Ke Shuisheng and his wife, they are not short of food and clothing, and they still have dozens of pennies to earn every day, so they are already content. In their hearts, no amount of money is as important as their daughter's reputation.

Ke Shuisheng paused, and said again: "Besides, there is no need to go this far, because Dafu's ox cart can still be pulled."

Ke Shuisheng said to Kong Dafu again: "Dafu, I think you and Chun'er should go to the town to rent a house, usually you can pull the ox cart to the center of the market to see if anyone rents it. You can earn dozens of pennies."

"Father, you have a good idea!" Ke Zhong's eyes lit up, and he said.

In this way, Chun'er and Dafu can have a support, Dafu doesn't have to work so hard to make money, Xueer doesn't have to agree to Ai Dadong's conditions, the child's father is too thoughtful.

"Okay, I'll listen to Dad." Kong Dafu also accepted Ke Shuisheng's arrangement.

"Xue'er, now you don't have to worry about your sister anymore, so you can push Ai Dadong's family." Ke Mengshi was also happy to hear Ke Shuisheng's idea.

"I'd better go to Ai Dadong's house, Xue'er can't see him again." Ke Shuisheng said with a sullen face.

Ke Hanxue saw that her family's attitude was so tough, and she didn't dare to say what she wanted to say. It was a pity that she gave up her original idea, because she didn't want her family to worry.

If you want to make money, think of other ways.

"Father, I think it's better for me to reject him personally." Ke Hanxue thought for a while and said, Ke Hanxue was wary of Ai Yiyang's request to embarrass his father.

"Since they are all going to refuse, it doesn't matter who goes?" Ke Shuisheng frowned.

"Father, let me go. If you are worried, you can go with me."

"The child's father, then you can go with Xue'er." Ke Zhong knew that her daughter was stubborn, and she was not afraid of any trouble if she had the child's father with her.

"That's fine, let's go together tomorrow." Ke Shuisheng thought about it, and finally let go.

How could the Ke family expect that something happened at home before they had time to reject Ai Yiyang.

In the middle of the night, the Ke family members who were sleeping suddenly heard a scream, and they all woke up at the same time. After listening carefully, it was Ke Meng's voice.

"It's on fire, it's on fire, put out the fire!"

It turned out that Ke Mengshi, who had always had little sleep, woke up in the middle of the night and saw two figures running into her yard with torches. When she yelled, the two threw the torches into the woodshed and ran away.

"Come on, put out the fire, put out the fire!" Seeing the flames spread, Ke Meng cried out in shock and fear.

"mother--"

"grandmother--"

"Hurry up, put out the fire!" Seeing everyone coming out of her room, Ke Mengshi rushed into the kitchen first.

Ke Hanxue saw that the fire was raging, but it hadn't burned to her side of the house, so she hurried into the house and hugged her pillow out, and shouted to everyone: "Don't put out the fire, get your valuables first." come out!"

"Grandma, take Hong'er and Jiege out first!"

Ke Hanxue said and stuffed the pillow into Ke Meng's arms, and ran back to the room with her parents and brother-in-law to pick up the rice in the house.

It's not that Ke Hanxue doesn't want to fight the fire, but that there is only one tank of water at home, and his house is far away from the river, so it is impossible to put out the fire.

When the villagers near Ke's house heard the noise of Ke's house, they ran out curiously to watch.

Seeing that Ke's house was on fire, they were all startled, and they ran to the river with basins and buckets, and those who had water at home ran to Ke's house with water.

After a while, the sound of someone knocking on a gong was heard again, and everyone in Shuihe Village started to move, fighting the fire, helping to rescue things, and it was very lively.

But the fire was too fierce, and when the villagers worked together to put out the fire, Ke's house was already in ruins.

Fortunately, the houses in the village are all independent, otherwise, according to the situation, the houses of the whole village will be burned down.

Looking at the burned home, Ke Mengshi, Ke Zhongshi and Ke Jiangshi couldn't help crying.

And the one who cried the most was Ke Jiangshi. Her mother and daughter depended on those silkworm houses to support them. Now that the silkworm houses are all burned down, how will they live in the future?
Hong'er and the children were also terribly frightened, and when they came back to their senses, they also cried loudly.

There were many women around who helped put out the fire, seeing the miserable situation of the Ke family, and couldn't help wiping away tears of sympathy.

Ke Hanxue stared blankly at the burned-out house, and felt very uncomfortable. She calmed down and searched the crowd first. Seeing that the second and third rooms and her own family were still there, Ke Hanxue was relieved. tone.

Then check the things rescued from the house. Except for a few chickens, the cows were also pulled out, and all the rice was rescued. Ke Hanxue's tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

As soon as a person relaxes, there is a feeling of collapse, and one can't help but stagger backwards.

"Thank you!" Ke Hanxue said dazedly, shaking her head, and then she became sober.

After Ke Hanxue became more energetic, she looked sideways, but met a pair of furious eyes.
