Chapter 4: Each Conceives a Ghost (Part I)

Thank you Snow ^ Fairy Evaluation Vote ~~

took the cocoon containing the silver coin from Qingmei's hand, and listened to Kang Yan's words relayed by Qingmei, Uncle Kang slowly stroked the neatly trimmed short beard, obviously very satisfied with Kang Yan's arrangement, "Since my niece said so, go back and let Zhao Rui come over and listen to the instructions." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info "Zhao Rui is Uncle Zhao's name.

Seeing Qingmei's figure disappear outside the door, Liu couldn't wait to step forward and open the cocoon, and when he saw the four hundred taels of silver tickets and ten silver ingots inside, he couldn't help but frown, and a series of smacks came out of his mouth, "I said his father, these five hundred taels of silver are enough for our family to spend for more than ten years." ā€

When Liu was young, he was also a rare beauty in ten miles and eight villages, so he married Uncle Kang, who was also rare at that time, and became the envy of everyone.

In fact, the Kang family is not rich, the reason why it became the first in the village is because Kang Yan's grandfather went out to do business in his early years, and later returned to his hometown with Kang Yan's father, Kang Yan's great-grandparents were still there, Kang Yan's grandfather Kang Lao Da rebuilt the family's old house, and the atmosphere of the two mansions was spacious, which was rare in ten miles and eight villages.

After Kang Yan's great-grandparents died, Mrs. Kang moved into the city with her son and daughter-in-law, bought the current house, and rarely returned to the ancestral house, while the second and third old ladies who stayed in the ancestral house were used to a comfortable life, and they were no longer used to working at sunrise and resting at sunset

The second old lady gave birth to two sons, namely Uncle Kang and Uncle Kang, the third old lady gave birth to three sons, and the son gave birth to a grandson, and they had no other income in the family.

Uncle Kang couldn't help frowning and reprimanding when he saw Liu's smile with a silver ingot: "Look at your unproductive appearance, just such a little money makes you happy like this, and when I win the promotion and become an official in the future, you just wait to count the money." ā€

Liu Shi has been completely exempted from military service at these words, and directly rolled his eyes: "You have said this since the day I married you, and now your grandsons can already read, you should hurry up, don't wait for your grandson to be in school together!" ā€

Uncle Kang's face was embarrassed, and he was a little annoyed and angry, "Ignorant woman, I'm too lazy to tell you, I'll go out to see if Zhao Rui is here, and I have something to tell him to do, the first thing is to choose the coffin first, the deceased is the greatest, or choose the coffin first to arrange the funeral." ā€

Generally speaking, people will prepare coffins in advance when they reach old age, but Kang's father and mother are in middle age and die suddenly, so they must buy a coffin first.

When it came to this matter, Liu immediately remembered what Qingmei said just now, and remembered that the silver in front of him was not necessarily his own, and he was a little disappointed, and couldn't help complaining: "What you promised just now was too fast, what did you tell our Da Lang and Erlang to do, why do you want Zhao Rui to do it?" Will he listen to you? Can he be of the same mind as you? Besides, isn't Erlang going to be passed on to the second room? Doesn't letting Erlang do it make it more filial piety? ā€

In Liu's heart, she didn't feel reluctant and sad at all because her son was about to pass on to others, anyway, the two sons in the second room died, and her son was still her son.

"Erlang, as a filial son, is to be guarded in the mourning hall, where can he go out to do errands?" Uncle Kang couldn't help frowning.

"Then let Da Lang go," Liu then proposed, "You have to think about it, the family property of this second room will be our Erlang's in the future, with this money, you and Da Lang and Erlang will also have money to pay for the imperial examination in the future, if this money is handed over to others, there can be left for us there, especially that Zhao Rui, people are loyal to the second room couple, if he takes the money, I guarantee that no one will give you back."

Uncle Kang hesitated for a moment, in the end it was Liu's last reason to be tempted, he always thought that the reason why he tried repeatedly was because of the lack of money, he had also secretly found Kang Yan's father Kang Zhixun, and asked him to pay for himself, but after the death of the old lady Kang, Kang Zhixun and their cousins have never been close, Kang Zhixun rejected him.

Thinking of this, Uncle Kang had some secret hatred: "If it weren't for the second child who refused to pay for me, I wouldn't be a talent today." ā€

Liu Shi couldn't help but think of Kang Zhixun's wife is always Xia's always a dignified and elegant lady's appearance, every time she sees herself, she has a feeling of self-shame, thinking that the superiority of the two people in the second room is about to belong to the two of them, her heart is boiling, "Now the second family is gone, this property will be Erlang's in the future, Erlang's is not ours, if I want me to say that the two of them just don't accumulate virtue, they will all get seriously ill and die, now it's okay, we will soon have money to take care of." ā€

Uncle Kang nodded, and couldn't help but explain to his wife: "You are more restrained, you are also a brother in the end, it is always sad that people are gone, don't show it too obviously." ā€

Liu glared: "Am I so stupid?" It's up to you to explain this, don't you just pretend? After that, seeing Uncle Kang, he couldn't help frowning, and hurriedly said: "In the end, it's not the love of growing up together, I don't believe that you will be really sad in your heart, I always feel strange when I say it, didn't you say that our aunt died early?" I haven't heard that the eldest uncle is marrying outside, why does he have a second child? Could it be that the identity of the second child's biological mother is improper? ā€

Mrs. Kang's wife died early, leaving no son and half a daughter, Mrs. Kang has been out to do business since then, and he has been gone for more than 20 years, and then he brought Kang Zhixun and his wife, saying that he had married a wife and had children outside, but no one had ever seen Kang Zhixun's mother, according to the old lady, he had died of illness, "Speaking of which, don't you think the second child and the eldest uncle don't look like each other at all?" ā€

"What nonsense? Uncle Kang scolded her, "You women will be suspicious, I don't bother to tell you, why haven't they arrived yet?" Didn't we tell them to hurry up when we came? I'll go out and have a look. After that, he waved his sleeves and turned away, leaving Liu to continue counting the silver, while muttering in a low voice: "What is fierce, and I don't think it's like it alone?" The third couple did not underestimate it in private. ā€
