Chapter 143 Ke Hanchun and his wife lived in the spinning room
143
When Ke Shuisheng and others heard that their daughter wanted to rent a house in the town, although they disapproved, they had no choice but to let them go.

"Sister, how much does it cost to rent a house in the town?" Ke Hanxue asked after thinking about it.

"To rent a smaller house, I heard that it costs three or four hundred Wen a month."

"So expensive?"

Ke Hanxue frowned, and did the math for them, and it was calculated as four hundred yuan a month, and they had to give Kong Keshi one hundred yuan a month, so five hundred yuan was lost.

There is no land to grow vegetables in the town, and they have to buy everything. I don't know if the remaining five hundred yuan is enough for them to spend for a month?
"The houses in the town are all at this price. If your brother-in-law can find something to do, then our life will not be too difficult." Ke Hanchun smiled and said, in fact, she didn't want to drag her mother's family down.

"Sister, didn't Master Ai give you a small house to live in? Why don't you go and talk to him and see if you can let your brother-in-law live in too, so you can save hundreds of dollars in rent?" Ke Hanxue thought about it and said.

"This definitely won't work. The silk-drawing room was originally not for outsiders to enter. Ai Dadong's family is willing to lend me the kitchen and let Ping Jin let my father eat there. It is already very good. How can I ask him this again? , I can’t say that.” Ke Hanchun shook his head heartily.

"Sister, don't even think about it. You save four hundred coins a month, which is four or five taels of silver a year. That's your salary for half a year. Don't you feel bad?" Come on, Ai Yiyang can be regarded as a boss who cherishes talents, otherwise he wouldn't treat his sister so differently, so he asked her to try it.

After Ke Hanxue made such a calculation, Ke Hanchun really felt a little distressed. She only earns 12 taels of silver throughout the year, and she would have to get rid of less than half of the money for renting a house. She was really reluctant.

"Chun'er, these four, two, five, and five taels are not small money. Why don't you go to Ai Dadong's house and ask?" Ke Zhongshi was a little moved when he heard that he could save so much money throughout the year, and also helped to persuade him. eldest daughter.

"Then...then I'll try it." Ke Hanchun hesitated, and his father asked her for three days off, and she will go to Ai Dadong's house when she returns to town tomorrow.

Ke Hanchun did not expect Ai Yiyang to be so talkative. When she mentioned that she wanted to live with Kong Dafu in the spinning room, Ai Yiyang agreed without thinking about it. The only request was that Kong Dafu was not allowed to enter the spinning room. Of course Ke Hanchun quickly complied.

After Ke Hanchun and the two moved to the town, Ke Hanxue asked his father to entrust the shopkeeper of the "Zhou Ji" flour shop to find a job for Kong Dafu.

The flour shop happened to be short of a porter, but the wages were not high, only 350 Wen a month.

Kong Dafu didn't mind the lack of money, as long as he had a job to do, he reported to the flour shop the next day.

Ke Zhong felt sorry for his daughter and son-in-law, and would make some delicious food for Ke Shuisheng to bring to town every day.

After solving the matter of her sister and brother-in-law, Ke Hanxue concentrated on taking care of the rice fields again.

It was already the end of June, and the rice had begun to bloom. Ke Hanxue looked at the wide rice field and smiled contentedly.

When she first planned to plant rice, she had the idea of ​​reducing the burden on the family. She never thought that after the rice was planted, so many changes would take place in the family, and it made her father so tired that he had to come to the field after pulling the cart every day. help.

It was because her heart was too big and she didn't think carefully, Ke Hanxue sighed secretly.

But seeing the rice in the field grow so well, Ke Hanxue still felt very relieved, at least her family's hard work was not in vain.

When Ke Hanxue came home, he passed by the Ge family's vegetable field, and saw that Ge was watering the vegetables, so he smiled and said hello.

"Xue'er, have you gone to the ground again?" Ge stood up and asked with a smile. These days, she often went to Ke's house to chat with Ke Mengshi. The more she came into contact with Ke Hanxue, the more likable she felt.

Thinking about the things his son did behind his back, Ge Shi was also secretly happy.

"Ms. Ge, why are you here to water the vegetables again?"

"Didn't Yunzhang go to the town again? The sun is too hot these days. If you don't water some of these vegetables, I'm afraid they will dry out."

"Hehe, Mr. Ge is really a busy man," Ke Hanxue said with a smile: "Ms. Ge, be careful when you go to the river to fetch water, I will go back first."

"I know, go back quickly."

"mother--"

Ke Hanxue was about to leave, when he heard Ge Yunzhang's slightly displeased voice coming from a distance: "Didn't I tell you not to come to the field again? Why do you always say you don't listen?"

"I think this vegetable is almost dry, and I don't know if you will come back today, so I want to pick a few buckets of water to water it. I'm very careful." Ge Shi laughed.

"Ge Gongzi, are you back?" Ke Hanxue greeted him with a smile.

Ever since Ge Yunzhang rescued Brother Guang, Ke Hanxue's attitude towards Ge Yunzhang has taken a 180-degree turn. Even Ge Yunzhang is often frightened by her enthusiasm.

When Ge Yunzhang thought of Ke Hanxue saying that he wanted to find a wife for himself, he felt hairy, so he couldn't help but sarcastically said: "You smile so ugly!"

He still thinks that girl who looked at him with raised eyebrows a while ago is more interesting!
"You're really, she's a girl, how can you say such hurtful words?" Ke Hanxue curled her lips.

"Are you so fragile?" Ge Yunzhang raised his eyebrows.

"From what you said, it seems that I have a thick skin." Ke Hanxue touched her nose and smiled.

Ge Yunzhang hooked his lips: "For you have self-knowledge!"

Ke Hanxue glared at him angrily.

Ge Yunzhang smiled lightly, as if thinking for a while, and then said: "I heard that your brother-in-law is working as a porter in the town?"

"You also know about this?" After asking, Ke Hanxue suddenly remembered that Aunt Ge often visited her house these days, so she understood.

"Don't you think it's too wasteful for your brother-in-law to be a porter in the town?" Ge Yunzhang stared at Ke Hanxue's small face and asked.

"Is there any way? My sister is working in the town, and my brother-in-law can't find anything else to do at the moment, so let's do it first." It's not that Ke Hanxue has never thought about this problem, but her brother-in-law has no skills, and the second Without eloquence, what else can you do besides doing physical work?
"Now so many people want to ride in your ox cart, why don't you buy another ox cart for your brother-in-law to pull? How can you earn more money than now?"

Ge Yunzhang knew that her family did not lack the money to buy cattle.

Ke Hanxue's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "It's really a hero who sees the same thing. I thought about buying another bullock cart at the beginning, but then I thought that my sister's craftsmanship should not be wasted, so I didn't buy it with me." Parents mentioned this."

My sister is a well-known silk lady in Xiangsang Town, and now she is in charge of the spinning room. Ke Hanxue believes that if it is placed in modern times, my sister is a strong woman, and this spinning is her career, so Ke Hanxue can't bear to let her sister give up her career.
