Sweet Garden Sands

Chapter 102

102
Ke Zhongshi and Hong'er didn't come back from Shangpo Village until evening, and brought back a basket of eggs.

"It's really debt-free!" Ke Zhong sighed with a smile during dinner.

Now that the family has money left over, twenty chickens and ten ducks, more than nine acres of rice fields, and her man's ox cart, Ke Zhong feels more relaxed than ever.

Ke Shuisheng also laughed when he heard this.

Seeing the prosperity of the eldest family's life, Ke Mengshi was also happy for them, but when thinking of his unmarried son, Ke Mengshi's expression darkened again.

"Mother, are you uncomfortable?" Ke Zhong carefully noticed that her mother-in-law was strange, and asked with concern.

When Ke Shuisheng heard his wife's question, he also looked at his mother worriedly.

"Grandma, just tell me if you feel uncomfortable." Ke Hanxue also put down the bowl and chopsticks, and was about to get up to find Dr. Hao.

"Don't be surprised, I just thought of Baosheng." Ke Mengshi's tone was filled with endless sadness.

After hearing Ke Mengshi's words, Ke Shuisheng and Ke Zhongshi were also silent for a while, not knowing how to persuade Ke Mengshi.

"Okay, okay, don't be sullen, eat quickly." Seeing that the originally good atmosphere was depressed by herself, Ke Meng quickly put away her depressed mood and said with a smile.

Ke Shuisheng and Ke Zhongshi glanced at each other, then picked up the chopsticks again, and started to eat in silence.

Ke Hanxue glanced at her parents and grandma, and calmly gave Hong'er a chopstick of green vegetables, and said with a smile: "Hong'er can't just eat meat, he needs to eat more vegetables."

"Second Sister, I know you can't be picky eaters, so you don't have to tell me every meal." Hong'er puffed her cheeks and said.

"Hehe, okay, I won't talk about it starting tomorrow." After being reminded by Hong'er, Ke Hanxue realized that she seemed to be nagging more and more, and couldn't help laughing.

It will take more than ten days for the mulberry wine to be filtered, and Ke Hanxue's life has returned to the life of two points and one line in the rice field and home.

I don't know if the land is fertile enough or Ke Hanxue is lucky enough. The nine acres of rice are growing very gratifyingly. Ke Shuisheng saw it and said that he was right to agree to his daughter's rice planting.

On this day, Tongsuo Niang came to Ke's house after finishing work in the silkworm house. When Ke Meng and Ke Zhong saw that it was Tongsuo Niang, they laughed and invited her into the living room.

At the beginning, this hall was not assigned to any family, so no matter who had guests, they could entertain them in the hall. Although Tongsuo Niang was not a guest, Ke Mengshi still invited her into the hall.

"Bronze lock lady, what's wrong with you?"

As soon as Tongsuo Niang entered the room, Ke Mengshi noticed that her eyes were red, as if she had cried.

When Ke Mengshi asked, Tongsuoniang burst into tears again.

"Sister-in-law, what happened?" Ke Zhong also asked with concern.

"My natal brother has a strange disease. In the past few months, he has been rolling around with stomach pain several times a day. I have invited several doctors but failed to cure my brother's disease. My sister-in-law asked someone to bring it to me yesterday. The message said that all the money in the family was spent on my elder brother, and there was no money left to treat him, so I was going to go back to my mother’s family for the funeral.”

Tongsuo Niang wiped her tears again as she spoke. She knew that her sister-in-law was asking her for money in a disguised form, but she had already taken out all the family savings, and she had no money left.

Thinking that her only brother was suffering from illness and she was helpless, Tongsuo Niang was heartbroken. She came to Ke's house to talk to someone because she was not in the mood to do anything.

"Tongsuo Niang, do you want to borrow money?" Ke Mengshi asked.

"No, no," Tongsuo Niang hurriedly waved her hands, and then shook her head helplessly: "I don't think there is anything I can do about my natal brother's current state. Instead of letting him suffer from this pain again, it's better... Let him go early."

After speaking, Tongsuo Niang began to cry again.

Ke Mengshi and Ke Zhongshi also blushed, feeling sorry for Tongsuoniang.

That was his own brother. If there was any hope, who would say such desperate words?
Tongsuo Niang cried for a while, seeing that Ke Mengshi and Ke Zhongshi were also sad with her, she hurriedly wiped her tears, and said with self-reproach: "Look at me, I'm here to chat with you, why are you talking all this?" Embarrassing words?"

"It's okay, Tongsuo Niang, who hasn't encountered a hurdle in their life, as long as they get over it, it's life and death. Whether your natal brother can pass this hurdle depends on God's will, and it's not something you can control." Yes, don't be too sad." Ke Meng advised.

"I know this too, but when I think of my brother who has worked hard all his life and will suffer this torture before he dies, I... I feel uncomfortable!" Tong Suo Niang choked on her chest.

Ke Zhongshi sighed, and said: "Sister-in-law, how many roads a person walks and how much food he eats in his life is determined. Don't think too much about it. Maybe your natal brother's auspicious person has his own destiny, so he can do well." get up."

Although Ke Zhongshi was persuading her in this way, she knew in her heart that Tongsuo Niang's brother's illness probably cannot be cured.

"Auntie is here?"

While a few people were talking, Ke Hanxue came back from the field, and as soon as he entered the hall, he noticed that the atmosphere was not right.

Look at Tongsuo Niang again, her eyes are already swollen from crying.

Tongsuo Niang hurriedly wiped her face with her sleeve, and put on a smile that was uglier than crying: "Xue'er is back?"

"Auntie, what happened?" Ke Hanxue asked with concern.

When I was almost captured by Zhang Fuyu, Tongsuoniang was the first to come out to collect money for herself, so Tongsuoniang is just like Ge Shi in Ke Hanxue's mind, she is her benefactor.

Tongsuo Niang shook her head sadly, her eyes were red again, and she was speechless.

Ke Zhong pulled her daughter over and whispered to Ke Hanxue about the situation of Tongsuo's natal brother.

"Auntie, have you hired a doctor for your brother?" Ke Hanxue asked.

"Please, Dr. Hao and the two doctors from the 'Zhou's' pharmacy both went to see my brother and prescribed medicine, but nothing worked."

"Did the doctor say what kind of disease it is?" Ke Hanxue asked with luck.

In this dynasty with backward medical equipment, even a slight cold could kill someone. If this disease was a common disease she had seen in her previous life, maybe she could advise the doctor?
"Several doctors said that my brother was suffering from a strange disease, and they only prescribed medicine for my brother, but after several months of treatment, my brother's illness did not improve." Tongsuo Niang began to cry again.

"Sister-in-law, don't think too much." Ke Zhong patted the back of Tongsuoniang's hand to comfort him. One can imagine how painful Tongsuoniang's brother was tortured by this strange disease.

Hearing that even the doctor couldn't tell what the disease was, Ke Hanxue let out a disappointed "Oh".

Since she couldn't help, she couldn't say anything more.
