Chapter 157 Accepting the Ai Family's Compensation
157
"Don't bother, I won't watch!" Ke Mengshi turned over, turned his back to the crowd, but refused to stretch out his hand.
Ke Meng's temper, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but there was nothing they could do.
Suddenly, Ke Baosheng said to Ke Hanxue: "Xue'er, didn't you say yesterday that Brother Guang found something to do in the county?"

Ke Hanxue was taken aback for a moment, and then came over knowingly: "Yes, he asked someone to send a message back, saying that he found something to do, and he is usually very busy, and he will not come back until the New Year."

"Brother Guang really came back with a message?" Ke Meng suddenly turned over.

"Yes, Mr. Ge helped us bring this message back?" Ke Hanxue was afraid that grandma would not believe her family, so she gave Ge Yunzhang a wink.
"Yes, Grandma Meng, you have to take good care of yourself and wait to enjoy the blessings of your grandson. I heard that the salary for working in the county is very high." Ge Yunzhang expressed dissatisfaction with Ke Hanxue's way of dragging himself into the water, but again Had to cooperate with her in lying.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Ge, please help me." Ke Mengshi showed his first smile in a few days.
Ke Hanxue and his uncle looked at each other and smiled. Unexpectedly, Ge Yunzhang was quite good.

Ge Yunzhang gave Ke Mengshi a good pulse, prescribed some traditional Chinese medicines, and asked Ke Shuisheng to go to the pharmacy in the town to get them, and explained some things that need attention, and then went out.

Ke Baosheng stayed in the house to look after Ke Mengshi, Ke Shuisheng and others sent Ge Yunzhang outside the hospital, and then worriedly asked: "Ge Gongzi, what is my mother's illness, is it in the way?"

They were afraid that Ke Mengshi had a serious illness, so they didn't dare to ask in the house.

"It's a symptom of stagnation, as long as you relax your mind and take a few medicines, you'll be fine." Ge Yunzhang glanced at Ke Hanxue and said lightly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Ke Mengshi was fine.
After sending Ge Yunzhang away, Ke Shuisheng drove an ox cart to the town. He was busy repairing the thatched cottage these days, but Ke Shuisheng still didn't go out to do the work.
However, because he was worried about delaying the affairs of the villagers and the shopkeeper of "Zhou Ji", Ke Shuisheng asked his son-in-law to go to the town for him, and Ke Hanchun also returned to the spinning room.

"Shuisheng, Xisheng, Baosheng!"

As soon as Ke Shuisheng left, Tongsuo Niang ran into their thatched hut in a panic.
"Auntie, what's the matter?" Ke Hanxue helped Tongsuo Niang who almost fell down.
"Xue'er, where are your father and uncle?"

"Sister-in-law, are you looking for us? But my elder brother has gone to town." Ke Xisheng and Ke Baosheng came out of the house.
"Xisheng, Baosheng, hurry to your house to have a look, there are several vicious big men here, I don't know what they are doing!" Tongsuo Niang said anxiously.

Ke Baosheng was relatively calm. He just frowned and said, "It's already burned like that, what else can I do?"

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, let's take a look?" Ke Hanxue also felt that something was wrong.
"Yes, yes, I also think it would be better for you to go and have a look." Tongsuo Niang said.
The newly repaired thatched hut is some way away from the original home, and several people ran there.
Before I got close, I saw five or six big men with shovels in their hands, shoveling the ashes that had not been cleaned up.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" Ke Xisheng scolded them from afar.
"Hey, you are from this family, right?" A big man stood up straight and smiled maliciously.
"This is our home, what do you want to do? Who told you to touch our things?" Ke Xisheng asked.

"Brothers, the few of us heard that you are going to build a new house, so we wanted to help you clean up this land quickly so that you can start construction quickly. We are just kind-hearted, so don't thank us too much." A big man smiled hypocritically.

"Brothers, hurry up, don't delay other people's building a new house." The big man shouted at the others and started shoveling again.
"Where did you come from? Stop everything, we don't need help with our own affairs!" Ke Xisheng scolded, these people are not from the village, so I don't know what kind of mind they have.

But those few people turned a deaf ear to Ke Xisheng's words, they lowered their heads and worked hard.

Seeing this, Ke Hanxue and Ke Baosheng frowned, also guessing the origins of these people.

When several people were deadlocked, Ai Yiyang's carriage stopped in front of them.

The butler got off the carriage first, and then Ai Yiyang also jumped out of the carriage in a rage.

"Elder...elder young master!" When the big men saw Ai Yiyang, their faces changed, and they quickly threw away the shovel in their hands, and stood aside with their heads down.
Seeing Ai Yiyang's complexion, one of the big men timidly explained: "Master, this...it's none of our business, it's the second young master..."

"Shut up, get out!" Ai Yiyang interrupted him and drove them away.
Ke Baosheng and Ke Hanxue looked at each other. The murderer was about to come out just now, but was interrupted by Ai Yiyang's words, and those people just now were obviously the servants of the Ai family, which means that the murderer might be the Ai family. Which master is it?

"Everyone, I'm sorry, it's my servants who are ignorant and disturbed everyone." Ai Yiyang stepped forward and smiled at Ke Hanxue and the others.

"Miss Hanxue, I know that your family has four houses, and you have already divided the family. Here is 200 taels of silver. Take it as my compensation to you. This is enough for you to build four tile-roofed houses." Ai Yiyang said from The housekeeper took four silver bills of 50 taels each and handed them to Ke Hanxue.
Ke Xisheng opened his mouth wide open when he saw the banknote, because it was the first time he had seen a real banknote because he was so big. It turned out that the banknote looked like this.

Ke Hanxue glanced at the banknote in his hand, and didn't take it immediately, but asked: "Master Ai, I want to ask one more question, is this the end of the matter after we took the banknote?" gone?"

"Miss Hanxue, I assure you, as long as you don't pursue this matter any more, no one will hurt you again." Ai Yiyang said sincerely.

"Then what if the person who set the fire is still relentless and comes to hurt my family again?" Ke Hanxue looked at him coldly, this was what she was most worried about.
"Miss Hanxue, I can guarantee this, it will definitely not happen."

"Second Uncle, Younger Uncle, what do you think?" Ke Hanxue turned her head to look at Ke Xisheng and Ke Baosheng. After all, this was not her business alone, and she had to ask the opinions of the other rooms.
Ke Xisheng stared at the bank note in Ai Yiyang's hand, and nodded dumbly.

And Ke Baosheng smiled at Ke Hanxue: "You can figure it out." He doesn't care what happens to him alone.
Ke Hanxue also hooked her lips, turned her head and said to Ai Yiyang: "Master Ai, I will trust you again. But," Ke Hanxue paused, the smile on his face was closed, and he said coldly: " If anything goes wrong with my family, even if I lose my life, I will sue the capital and find out the murderer!"
