Ke Yunyue suddenly stopped, her expression blank for a moment, then she nodded with a silly smile, "Yes, my dad is the village chief, he can do anything!"
"I will definitely make him get those seven college student spots, and not a single one will be left for Ke Meiyu!"
"Ke Meiyu deserves to be a village girl for life, toiling from dawn till dusk. Let's see how long she can last with her youthful looks!"
Ke Meiyu was furious. What had she done to offend her? Why was she so fixated on her and couldn't stand seeing her do anything good?
"Hurry back, and remember to brag to everyone you meet on the way about how you're a city wife. Don't mention your dad or your uncle."
Ke Yunyue blinked, her expression clear, and immediately turned and left. "Yes, yes, I have to let the whole village know that I'm a wife from the provincial capital."
Ke Meiyu followed slowly at a distance behind her, and sure enough, she saw Ke Yunyue flaunting herself in front of everyone, regardless of age or gender, just like she had done to her earlier.
People generally harbor some resentment towards the rich. They already feel uncomfortable seeing others doing well, and now that someone who is doing well is showing off in front of them, it's infuriating! If it weren't for the fact that Ke Yunyue is the village chief's daughter, they would all want to beat her up to vent their anger.
The villagers looked grim and, unable to bear it any longer, made an excuse to leave.
So much so that before Ke Yunyue had even walked halfway, the whole village knew about it, and the village chief's wife, upon hearing the news, dragged her home.
"Mom, why are you pulling me? I haven't let the whole village know yet!"
"So what if Ke Meiyu is beautiful? In the end, she still ended up staying in this remote mountain village, didn't she?"
"With her brain, she wants to go to university? Ugh..."
The village chief's wife couldn't stand it anymore, so she covered her mouth and told her daughter-in-law to help pull her daughter back.
Ke Meiyu slowly returned home, a sly smile on her face. Suddenly, she discovered a new way to open the talisman. What should she do?
Although she felt a little guilty, she felt inexplicably comfortable!
Let the village chief's family know what their daughter is really thinking, so as to prevent any potential problems and avoid their honest and upright family being dragged down by this simple-minded girl.
During the period when she was in a one-sided cold war with the main villain, Ke Meiyu was studying talismans and medical books, and would browse through miscellaneous books when she had nothing to do.
One of the jade slips was particularly interesting. It contained some strange and unusual talismans. Each talisman was not complicated to draw, even simpler than a cough-relieving talisman. Of course, its effect was also short-lived, but it could still give a small punishment to evil people.
Such as immobilization talismans, truth-revealing talismans, wall-penetrating talismans, lightning talismans, five-element talismans, transformation talismans, etc...
Ko Mei-Yu can draw more than ten pictures in one go!
When she got home, she saw the old lady sitting in the house with the door closed, continuing to fiddle with the three sacks of prizes.
The banners, certificates of merit, and thank-you letters were neatly collected in the sturdiest wooden box in the house, with a small box left out. The old lady said it was for her dowry, which made Ke Meiyu both laugh and cry.
The prizes in the sack were neatly arranged. The old lady took them out one by one, filling the entire bed, leaving almost no room to step.
Ke Meiyu also went over to help the old lady scoop out the food, and whispered, "Grandma, my task is done!"
The old lady nodded, "I'm not in a hurry, I'll wait for them to come back tonight."
With her own treasure by her side, she had no doubt about the talisman's effectiveness.
Right now, the old lady's mind was all on the prizes. She excitedly shared her plans with Ke Meiyu: "Baby, look, we have so many prizes. It's not worth exchanging them for money at the supply and marketing cooperative. Why not share them with our family so we can share the joy!"
The burlap sack was the largest size of those woven military green canvas sacks; it took two men a lot of effort to lift it, which shows just how many prizes there were! They could sell for a long time.
Ke Meiyu nodded and said, "As long as Grandma is happy."
"Grandma, send one set to Comrade Li and her brother later. If her brother goes to the provincial capital, also send one set to the lady at the guesthouse."
"If it weren't for that kind-hearted young lady, we would definitely have missed out on Brother Li."
"We might see each other again when we go to university in the provincial capital."
The old lady nodded in agreement: "Yes, make more friends when you're out and about. What are friends for? To help each other through tough times!"
"You can't just take advantage of others all the time. Such relationships don't last long. You might not be able to stay friends in the future, and they might even do something bad to you behind your back."
After they sorted out the items, the old lady asked Ke Meiyu to take out a new notebook and a new ballpoint pen to register each item.
After the men returned and finished eating, as darkness fell, the old lady lavishly lit two candles in the main room and had everyone in the family, including the old man, line up according to age.
The crowd lined up, laughing and joking, only to be scolded by the old lady with a stern face.
Everyone immediately shut their mouths and quickly stood at attention.
The Ke family is quite large. The old man and woman had four sons and two daughters. The eldest son's wife had two sons and two daughters, all of whom were married and had a bunch of kids. The third son's wife had two daughters and three sons, all of whom were also married and had kids.
It can be said that among the entire Ke family, Ke Meiyu's generation, only their six children, along with Ke Enshu from the second wife and her twelve-year-old sister Ke Xingyue, remained unmarried.
More than thirty people, young and old, lined up in a long procession from the main room all the way to the courtyard gate...
Grandma Ke stood ramrod straight, cleared her throat, and announced, "Comrades Ke Meiyu, Ke Qingshi, Ke Qingli, and Ke Qingyi, step forward!"
She called out Yu Bao'er and her three sons: "Comrade Ke Meiyu is in charge of registration and record-keeping, and the other three comrades will assist me in distributing the prizes!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was incredibly excited...
Grandma Ke coughed heavily again, and everyone immediately stopped chattering and looked at the head of the household.
"Logically speaking, since you have already separated your families, the belongings of the fourth branch have nothing to do with the other two branches."
"However, Comrade Ke Meiyu was too selfless and handed over the three large sacks of prizes to me without hesitation. I also obtained Comrade Ke Meiyu's consent before making any arrangements, so everyone should remember Comrade Ke Meiyu's kindness!"
Everyone nodded emphatically. Under the old lady's daily brainwashing, they had come to believe that their family's increasingly prosperous life compared to their neighbors was all thanks to Ke Meiyu, this lucky girl.
They were used to Ke Meiyu's superior status in the family, even more so than the old lady. She didn't have to do farm work, could have special meals prepared for her whenever she wanted, and could buy new clothes every season...
There was no need for the old lady to emphasize it; just seeing that the five brothers of the fourth branch were about to become college students, the family members almost worshipped Ke Meiyu as a god in their hearts!
"Of course, the Ke family's success today is also the result of everyone's hard work..."
