Chapter 3 Marriage Letter
3
How could Ke Mengshi not know what Ke Yushi was thinking, but as an old man, she couldn't bear to let the family disperse until she was forced to do so.

Ke Mengshi sighed helplessly again, pondered for a while, and her tone softened, but the meaning in the words was unquestionable: "Ke Yushi, Mother knows that Chun'er has suffered for you and Xisheng after she got married. I know it well, but after all, it is a family. Do you really want to watch your sister-in-law get sick and not call a doctor? Life is so thin, leaving this orphan and widow, as long as I have breath, I can't not Take care of it. Otherwise, there is Baosheng at home to help support anyway, so you can keep half of Xisheng's wages every month from now on, and just hand in half."

Ke Mengshi is not confused, she naturally knows what kind of person Ke Yushi is, but she is right in saying that the palms and backs of her hands are full of flesh. As a mother, she really hopes that every child can live a happy life. good.

Ke Mengshi's words made Ke Yushi's complexion even more ugly. Don't look at the old woman who is considerate of her on the surface, but what she said is nothing more than three meanings. One is to tell her that this family will not be divided!The second is to remind her that her man also went to the family to supplement the family after Chun'er got married, so she has no right to yell here!The third is to tell her that it is Xiaoshu Baosheng who contributes the most to this family, not her man!

Seeing that her mother-in-law talked about this, although Ke Yushi was still unwilling, she did not dare to be presumptuous. She was mainly worried that if her mother-in-law was pushed too fast, she would force her own man instead. Backfired.

The sound insulation effect of the thatched house is already poor, and Ke Yushi deliberately let everyone in the house and the kitchen hear his words, so Ke Jiangshi and Ke Shuisheng's family took what Ke Yushi said verbatim. in the ear.

Ke Jiangshi's hand that was burning the fire stopped, bit his lip, and stared at the blazing fire in the stove in a daze.

If it wasn't for his man's early death, how could their orphans and widows have fallen into such an annoying situation?
Ke Jiangshi also knew very well that the family would be divided sooner or later, but if the family was really divided, how would she live as a widow with two daughters?
But Ke Shuisheng's family obviously didn't take Ke Yushi's words to heart. The only thing that Ke Shuisheng and his wife are currently worried about is the marriage of their youngest daughter.

"Xue'er, take a look at what this is?" Ke Zhongshi half leaned on the bed, tremblingly took out an old gray-white silk cloth from his arms, and handed it to Ke Hanxue, with words on it.

"Marriage letter!" Ke Hanxue widened her eyes and shouted.

In her previous life, she worked as a data officer in a Hong Kong-funded enterprise, so she could recognize the two largest and most conspicuous traditional Chinese characters on the silk at a glance.

"Xue'er, how do you know this is a marriage letter?" Ke Zhongshi was surprised.

"I guess, except for the marriage letter, who would be willing to write on silk?" After finishing speaking, Ke Hanxue stuck out her tongue secretly, almost revealing herself.

In this era, there is no paper, the general text is engraved on the bamboo slips, unless it is very precious, things with collection value will be written on silk, such as marriage letters.

"Hehe, that's right, my Xue'er is smarter!" Ke Zhong said with a chuckle.

"What, is this a marriage certificate? It belongs to Xue'er and that fool?" Ke Shuisheng obviously didn't know about the marriage certificate, so he snatched the marriage certificate from Ke Zhong's hands in shock and anger.

"Mother, did you promise to marry me to such a pervert's stupid son?" Ke Hanxue looked at Ke Zhongshi with a serious face.

She only saw the word "marriage letter" just now, and she hadn't had time to read the small characters, and now she heard Ke Shuisheng say that again, so Ke Hanxue's first reaction was the same as Ke Shuisheng's. I betrothed to that old stupid son!
Thinking of this, how can Ke Hanxue be calm!
"Look at you two, in your eyes, I'm really so cruel as a mother?" Ke Zhong gave the two of them an angry look, but his face was full of joy.

"Isn't it?" Ke Hanxue muttered suspiciously, and his mind turned quickly at the same time.

She almost forgot that in this dynasty, every girl had to talk about marriage when she was 15 years old. Ke Hanxue was thinking about how to avoid getting married so early!
Not to mention that her body is only a 13-year-old child, she is a modern person, even at the age of talking about marriage, she can't marry blindly like this!

"Then this is..." Ke Shuisheng obviously breathed a sigh of relief, staring straight at the marriage letter. If it wasn't for Zhang Yuanwai's stupid son, could it be...

Suddenly, Ke Shuisheng's eyes widened, and he looked at Ke Zhongshi with trembling lips: "It's Ge Yunzhang?"

Ke Zhongshi nodded with a smile.

"Daughter-in-law, you are really amazing, you actually got that Ge Yunzhang to agree!" Hearing this, Ke Shuisheng laughed while holding the piece of silk, and praised his wife without hesitation.

"Ge Yunzhang?" Ke Hanxue groaned and searched in his mind.

This Ge Yunzhang only settled in Shuihe Village a year ago. I heard that although he is not a scholar, he is a scholar who has read a lot of poetry and books.

Speaking of which, Ge Yunzhang's mother and son were personally invited by the head of Shuihe Village to settle down in the village.

I heard that during the Lantern Festival last year, Ke Haidong, the village head of Shuihe Village, went to the town to do errands. On the way back, he saw Ge Yunzhang and Ge's mother pushing a cart of letters and several packages on a cart.

When Ke Haidong saw the pallet of letters, it was as if he saw a pile of gold. He guessed where they might have escaped from, so he stepped forward to investigate.

When I asked this question, it was really as I guessed.

So, Ke Haidong happily invited them to settle down in the village. Maybe Ge Yunzhang's mother and son were tired from walking, so they followed Ke Haidong back without refusing.

The reason why Ke Haidong did this was because of Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.

In Shuihe Village with hundreds of people, there are only Ke Haidong left and a few people who can read a few big characters.

The younger generation has been focusing on raising silkworms to make money all these years, while ignoring the importance of reading, which makes Ke Haidong, the village head, very anxious.

After Ge Yunzhang settled in Shuihe Village, Ke Haidong asked his fellow villagers to build a thatched house for Ge's family (everyone in the village has thatched houses), and also distributed two acres of land to Ge's family.

Ke Haidong discussed with Ge Yunzhang again, and called the school-age children in the village to study with him, and the villagers could use eggs or grain to teach the children.

Of course, money is also possible.

At the beginning, many villagers objected, because half-grown children are also the labor force of the family. When they go to school, the adults have to do a lot of work.

After Ke Haidong's earnest persuasion, the villagers reluctantly made the biggest concession, agreeing to let their children go to school for half a month every month, and help out at home for the rest of the time.
