"Father, people came up with the solution. When I get home, I'll go to the mountain to see if there are any small bamboos. I'll tie this whip to one end of the bamboo. It will definitely work better than this."

While the two were talking, a young man in a blue shirt who looked like a servant came out and said to the two, "Brother, this is the entrance to the spinning room. Your ox cart cannot stop here!"

"Little brother, my daughter is working here, and I'm here to find her." Ke Shuisheng said with a smile.

"What's your daughter's name?" The servant's attitude wasn't too bad.

The boss here knows how to be sympathetic to the workers. Although outsiders are restricted from entering and leaving the spinning room, they do not restrict the people who work inside from going out. The owner has seen too many workers. The family members come here for something, so the arrival of Ke Shuisheng's father and daughter is also welcome. Not surprising.

"Little brother, my daughter's name is Ke Hanchun!" Ke Shuisheng said with a smile.

"Brother, you are Hanchun's father who is in charge? Please wait in the courtyard." The servant suddenly invited Ke Shuisheng and his daughter into the outer courtyard with great respect.

"Brother, little girl, please go this way. The boss has arranged a room for Steward Hanchun. You wait in the room first, and I will call Steward Hanchun." Ding said respectfully.

As soon as the servant left, Ke Hanxue began to look at the room. The room was not big, only seven or eight square meters, and there was nothing else to put in a bed, but judging from the servant's attitude towards them , my sister's position in the spinning room should not be low, just now the servant seemed to call his sister "in charge"!

"The big boss is really kind to your sister, and they even built such a room for her, so that your sister can take a break at noon." Ke Shuisheng also felt proud that his daughter could be appreciated by the big boss.

Ke Hanxue smiled and was also happy for her sister.

"Father, Xue'er, why are you here?" Ke Hanchun was a little surprised when he entered the door and saw his father and sister sitting by the bed. The servant just said they were her family members, but she didn't say who they were. She thought it was her husband. What about Kong Dafu?

"Sister—" Ke Hanxue moved her butt and let her sister sit between her and her father.

"Sister, why is your complexion so bad? Are you sick?" Ke Hanxue stared at her sister's face and asked. When she saw her a few days ago, her face was quite fleshy. Why did she lose weight in just a few days? In this way?

"Chun'er, are you sick?" Ke Shuisheng also frowned and asked.

Ke Hanchun's eyes fluttered, he hesitated and said: "No, yes, it's just too tired."

"Sister, did the Kong family treat you badly?" Ke Hanxue asked with a downcast face.

"Nothing!" Ke Hanchun smiled: "It's really just too tired!"

"sister……"

"Okay, Xue'er, if your sister said she was too tired, she was too tired!" Ke Shuisheng stopped Ke Hanxue from asking any more.

How could Ke Shuisheng fail to see that the daughter he raised by himself was lying. It was just the water thrown by the married daughter. Even if he loves her daughter so much, so what?

Ke Hanxue understood what his father meant. In this dynasty, if a daughter married out, she would belong to someone else's family. As long as the in-law's family is not too much, the natal family has no right to interfere.

"Chun'er, dad brought you two steamed buns, eat them when you are hungry." Ke Shuisheng said as he took out the steamed buns.

"Father, what are you doing with this money? Da Fu will bring me food later." Ke Hanchun scolded.

"Sister, you haven't had lunch yet?" Ke Hanxue asked half distressed and half angry, what time is it?

Ke Shui moved his lips vividly, but in the end he didn't say anything, but the expression on his face was very gloomy. Presumably he felt worthless for the eldest daughter, right?

"Not yet, your brother-in-law should be here soon."

Ke Hanxue pursed her lips, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Sister, you should eat the steamed buns first."

"Okay." Ke Hanchun was indeed hungry, so he took the steamed bun and started to eat it.

"Sister, are you in charge of Sifang?" Ke Hanxue asked.

"Well, my master is old and in poor health. She will leave here next month. She asked the big boss to mention me as a manager." Ke Hanchun's face was very calm, and he was not at all proud of being a manager.

"Sister, how much do you earn a month as a manager?" Ke Hanxue leaned into her sister's ear and blinked.

"If you work for a full month, you will get a tael of silver!"

"One or two?" Ke Shuisheng's eyes widened with surprise.

This tael of silver is almost enough to cover his family's expenses for a month!
"Yes, the big boss told me that if I do well, I will be paid next year. My master's previous salary was two to two months." Ke Hanchun said and took another bite of the steamed bun.

In this dynasty, a woman could earn one or two taels of silver a month, which was really high. No wonder the elder sister returned to her mother's house only a few days ago, and Kong Ke came to her!

"Chun'er, your master and the eldest family value you so much, you have to work hard!" Ke Shuisheng told happily, if her daughter can really earn so much money every month in the future, then life in the Kong family must be easier .

"Father, I know!"

Just as Ke Hanchun finished answering, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of her husband standing at the door of the house with a basket in hand, not daring to come in.

"Dafu, our father and Xueer are here, come in quickly." Ke Hanchun waved to Kong Dafu and let him in.

Kong Dafu walked up to Ke Shuisheng, and called out dully: "Father, Xue'er!"

Ke Shuisheng responded with a smile, and asked, "Will you deliver food to Xue'er?"

"Yes, father." Kong Dafu seemed at a loss in front of Ke Shuisheng, and he didn't know where to move his hands and feet.

Ke Hanxue met her brother-in-law a few times, but she didn't say much. She only knew that her brother-in-law was a dull and honest person. He married a daughter-in-law a few years ago, and died of illness within a year after the marriage. lay down the child.

Kong Dafu was kind to her sister, but he was too foolish and filial. He usually didn't dare to say anything when he saw his sister being bullied by Kong Keshi and Kong Xiuer, and didn't know how to step forward to protect her.

"Brother-in-law, what delicious food do you want my sister to eat?" Ke Hanxue took the basket from Kong Dafu's hand and lifted the lid. It was too late for Ke Hanchun to stop it.

When Ke Hanxue saw the things in the basket, her face became very ugly.

Ke Shuisheng also poked his eyes into the basket, and when he saw it, his heart suddenly turned cold.

The daughter worked so hard in the town, but the Kong family had the heart to treat her like this!
No wonder my daughter's complexion turned so bad after only seeing her for a few days!

"Brother-in-law, will you let my sister eat this?" Ke Hanxue pointed to the rice soup in the basket that could not even find a single grain of rice and asked Kong Dafu: "My sister has worked so hard in the spinning room, why don't I give it to you?" The Kong family earns money, you don’t even give my sister a bowl of rice, but let her drink rice soup, and you don’t even have a chopstick of green vegetables? Is your conscience eaten by dogs?”
