Chapter 158 Accepting the Ai Family's Compensation 2
158
"I understand, Miss Hanxue." Ai Yiyang said: "Miss Hanxue, this time it's me, Ai, who is sorry for you, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, just come to me."

"talk later"

After Ke Hanxue took the bank note expressionlessly, Ai Yiyang took the butler and left.
Ke Hanxue handed them the bank notes belonging to Ke Xisheng and Ke Baosheng respectively, and said, "Second Uncle, Younger Uncle, this is your share, and I will take it back to Third Aunt for her now."

Ke Jiangshi has been depressed these days because her house and silkworm house were burned, and she was out of her mind all day long, so Ke Hanxue ignored her opinion and accepted Ai Yiyang's compensation for her.

Ke Hanxue believes that with these 50 taels, the third aunt will definitely cheer up.
When Ke Hanxue handed over the 50 taels of silver bills to Ke Jiangshi, Ke Jiangshi was stunned.
"Xue'er, is this really the compensation that Ai Dadong's family gave to my family?" Ke Jiangshi asked with straight eyes looking at the bank note in his hand.
"Yes, Third Aunt, here is 50 taels." Ke Hanxue said with a smile: "Third Aunt, let's build a tile house together."

"No, no, it costs a lot of money to build a tile house, no, I will keep the money for Qin'er and Zhu'er as a dowry." Ke Jiangshi tightly held the banknotes to her chest, as if she was afraid that Ke Hanxue would snatch her. Like her.
"Third Aunt, listen to me," Ke Hanxue persuaded earnestly: "Third Aunt, you only have two daughters, Qiner and Zhuer. If you marry off your daughters, who will take care of you in the future?"

"But, but, I can't stop them from marrying, right?" Ke Jiangshi asked.
"Third Aunt, you can recruit a son-in-law to come to your door." Ke Hanxue said with a smile.

"We are not a big family, how can we recruit a son-in-law?" Ke Jiangshi had a look of disapproval.
"Third Aunt, as long as we build a tile-roofed house, are we afraid that no man will come to our door?"

"This..." Ke Hanxue's words sparked a ray of light in Ke Jiangshi's heart.
In fact, Ke Jiangshi has always felt inferior because of not having a son, and she is also worried that the two daughters will not be able to stand upright in the husband's house after they get married without the support of their mother's family. hesitated.

"Xue'er, if we use this money to build a tile-roofed house, how will we live in the future?" Although Xue'er's suggestion is correct, the most important thing is the current life.
"Third Aunt, I heard from my father that it only takes 40 taels of silver to build a tile-roofed house, you can also not build such a wide land, and keep the silver within 30 taels, so that you will have 20 taels of silver left for self-defense. "Ke Hanxue helped her analyze.
"In this way, is it really possible?" Ke Jiangshi still hesitated.

"Third Aunt, after you build a new house, you can still raise silkworms. You are an expert in raising silkworms in our village. I believe that the money you make from raising silkworms alone is enough for you to raise Daqiner and Zhuer."

Ke Jiangshi bit her lip, and said to Ke Hanxue: "Xue'er, let me think about it."

"Okay, third aunt, then tell me when you think about it, remember, no matter how you live in the future, we will still be there!"

Building a tile house is not a trivial matter, so Ke Hanxue didn't force Ke Jiangshi to leave some time for her to think about it.

On the second day after the Ke family accepted Ai Yiyang's compensation, two yamen servants came to the Ke family, saying that they came to check after receiving a report.

But the scene had been destroyed, and the yamen servant just walked through the motions, walked around in front of a pile of ruins and left.

Ke Hanxue and the others finally understood why the big men were eager to help them clean up the pile of ruins yesterday. Obviously they had received the news that they had asked them to report to the officials, so they deliberately ran to destroy the scene.

Looking at the two yamen servants who have dealt with the matter, everyone knows that the government office must have colluded with the Ai family, otherwise how could the timing be so coincidental.
However, the Ke family didn't take these things to heart anymore, because they all started to talk about building a new house.

Ke Jiangshi thought about Ke Hanxue's words all night, and decided to build the tile house with everyone early the next morning, which made Qin'er and Zhu'er very happy.

Because they always heard Ke Weijie showing off in front of them these days, saying that he would become the first person in the village to live in a tile-roofed house, they envied the two sisters to death.

Ke Mengshi drank several medicines prescribed by Ge Yunzhang, and his condition improved, and he was able to go out in a few days.

Seeing several children preparing to build tile houses, Ke Mengshi always had a smile on his face.
Thinking about how a few months ago, her family was the poorest family in the village, but in a blink of an eye, it will become the first family in the village to live in a tile-roofed house. Ke Meng feels like a dream.
Brother Guang will be shocked when he sees a tile-roofed house built in his house when he comes back from the New Year, Ke Meng thought happily.

Seeing that grandma had a smile on her face and was able to go out again, Ke Hanxue felt relieved.
The Ke Shuisheng brothers went to the village chief's house to ask for three pieces of wasteland where a house could be built. After writing the deed, they went to the town to sign it. That piece of land, Ke Shuisheng simply wanted to come over, and the land in the village chief's new circle was distributed to Erfang, Sanfang and Baosheng.

In Shuihe Village, there is a large piece of land that can be used to build houses but not cultivated, so people in the village do not need to buy land to build houses, they only need the village head to circle a place for them.

After the village chief gave the brothers a few enclosures, the whole village was boiling.

Because this is the first tile-roofed house in the village besides the ancestral hall, and the brothers still built it together, everyone speculated how they got rich.
In addition to the guesses of various versions, I am envious. Of course, there are also some who are jealous.
For example, Ke Meizhi's mother and daughter.
Because of this, when the mother and daughter heard the enviable voices of the villagers, they would always insert a few unpleasant words sourly, causing the villagers to disperse as soon as they saw them.
Ke Hanhe heard them destroy his home, and quarreled with them several times.

Although Ke Hanxue knew all these things, she didn't have the time to pay attention to them.

Because it's time to plow the ground again. If you don't hurry up and plow the ground well, it will delay the best time for seedling cultivation.
But when he thought that it would take at least two months to build a new house for his family, and he didn't have much time to take care of the rice fields, Ke Hanxue thought about it, and discussed with his parents to return the land of Tongsuo's house to them.

After hearing this, Ke Shuisheng and his wife also thought it was a solution, and planted as much as they could in the remaining four acres of land.
Tongsuo's family also knew that Ke Shuisheng didn't have the time to take care of so much land, so they took the land back.

Ke Hanxue suggested that they use that land to grow rice instead of sweet potatoes. He could teach them how to grow seedlings. The Tongsuo family had this idea, but they were just worried that the planting would not be good. After listening to Ke Hanxue's words Said, of course, decided to grow rice.
