Ke Xin covered her face. Does this ability to speak have anything to do with attending a private school?
Moreover, she would rather find an honest man than a smooth-talking one.
"Mom, I don't want to get married. Let's wait two or three years until the shadow in my heart has faded, then we can talk about it."
Ke Xin spoke very seriously, and every word clearly expressed her thoughts. Seeing that her mother wanted to say something else, Ke Xin said bluntly: "If you despise me staying at home, then I will shave my head and become a monk."
When Ge Shuzhen heard this, the color drained out of her face. "What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't want to marry me, then I won't marry you. I'll go and explain this to you tomorrow."
"Hehe, mother is so nice."
Ke Xin coquettishly took her arm, but the next second, Ge Shuzhen twisted her arm and said, "If you don't want to marry, then don't marry. What are you talking about becoming a nun? When did your father and I ever dislike you? You just keep saying hurtful things."
If they weren't afraid that she would become an old maid, they wouldn't have the heart to let her get married, but the reputation was really bad.
Seeing her mother was frightened, Ke Xin started to act like a spoiled child again: "Oh, if I didn't say that, wouldn't you still be trying to persuade me to get married?"
Ge Shuzhen rolled her eyes at her and said, "If I don't have two good dishes tonight, I'll be so frightened that I won't be able to recover."
Ke Xin laughed. If you want to eat something, just say you want to eat it. Why make so much trouble?
"I know, mother." Ke Xin said and ran out of the house. Then she thought of something and came back. She leaned on the door and stretched her head to shout at her mother who was sitting on the bed: "I bought a lot of cloth and put it in the basket in the yard."
After saying that, without waiting for her mother to get angry, she immediately ran away. By the time Ge Shuzhen reacted and ran out, the person had disappeared.
Looking at the bustling courtyard, Ge Shuzhen cursed softly: "You start showing off as soon as you have a little money. You don't know how to save some money."
Although she said this, a smile appeared on her face as she ran towards the two sisters-in-law who were talking. She saw several baskets on the ground, all filled with cloth.
Emma, Ge Shuzhen’s head was buzzing when she saw it.
Jiang Xin followed his sister's advice and happily distributed the fabrics: "Aunt, this basket is for you. Each of you gets a piece of fabric. You all have a share."
Jiang Xin saw Second Aunt pulling at the eldest Aunt's fabric, and the corners of her mouth were raised almost to her eyebrows, with envy in her eyes. He pointed at the table at Qiaohong's feet and said, "Second Aunt, this basket is yours."
Zhuo Qiaohong was delighted: "Jiu'er is really good at doing things. Look, we have it too."
The uncle was moving things and passed by. When he heard this, he smiled and said, "Our Jiuer has always been sensible. Now that the family is doing better, she knows how to respect you. You should help the child more in the future."
Zhuo Qiaohong said to Jiang Yongfa, "Don't worry, big brother. From now on, the affairs of the Third Brother's family will belong to ours, and we will definitely be at the forefront."
"That sounds nice. See you later." After Jiang Yongfa said that, he went to move his things.
Zhuo Qiaohong pointed at her brother's back and said to Xue Ying with a smile, "Look, brother, you still don't believe me."
Xue Ying put down what she was holding, glared at her husband, and then said to Zhu Qiaohong, "You don't know your eldest brother yet. He likes to criticize everyone. Just now, when you went to move the herbs, he scolded me. Jiang Zhong heard it."
Jiang Zhong walked over with a smile and testified for his aunt: "Mom, I testify, I heard it. I just said that my aunt was even more cruel than you."
"Big brother is right. Look at the third brother's family. They are on the rise. They are not yet truly wealthy, but they know how to take care of our two families. We must never forget this kindness."
Zhuo Qiaohong's words made Ge Shuzhen feel embarrassed. She waved her hands and said, "Look at what you are saying. We are all family. It would be awkward to say such things."
"Besides, you've been very kind to Jiu'er over the years. She's thinking about you. This means she hasn't forgotten her roots. We should be happy. Hurry up and collect the cloth and go back to make clothes for the children so they don't have to wear these patched clothes anymore."
In the entire Jiang family, only Ke Xin could wear clothes without patches. No matter how poor the family was, they would buy her a set of clothes for all four seasons.
Ke Xin ran to the shack in the backyard and saw that her brothers had already cleaned the big vats and stacked three thousand kilograms of cabbage neatly in rows. The fifty big vats almost filled the backyard, leaving just enough space for two people to walk.
Jiang Hui looked at the large jar and cabbage he had just bought and felt worried. His hair was almost pulled out. "Jiu'er, can you tell me the truth? Can we really sell these pickled cabbages?"
As soon as Ke Xin opened her mouth, Brother Hui on the other side immediately added, "Sister, I'm not going to lie to you. Brother Hui has been tired of eating cabbage these years. When winter comes, we have cabbage for one meal and the next, either stewed or boiled. Even my burps smell like cabbage."
Ke Xin laughed out loud, "Don't worry, Brother Hui. Although sauerkraut is made from cabbage, the taste is definitely different. Besides, it's only eaten in winter. If you eat sauerkraut in the summer, the taste won't be right. I guarantee you'll want to eat it again after eating it once."
"really?"
"Seriously!" Ke Xin said, and then added, "I'm afraid that when the time comes, you won't even be able to eat."
If it sells well, these pickled vegetables will be used to make money. If he wants to eat it later, his second aunt may not give it to him.
Ke Xin was about to pickle sauerkraut when she suddenly realized she had forgotten to buy salt. She slapped her forehead in anger and said, "Brother, I have one more thing to trouble you with. Go buy salt tomorrow morning."
Brother Hui waved his hand. Buying salt was no big deal. "No need to buy it. I have a small jar at home. I'll get it for you right away."
"I want to buy 300 kilograms of salt for pickling vegetables."
Brother Hui was dumbfounded: "...3...300 kilograms." He bit his tongue as he spoke: "Sister, are you sure you want to buy 300 kilograms?"
Ke Xin nodded vigorously: "Sure."
Jiang Hui walked out with a dizzy head, thinking about three hundred pounds...who is he going to choke to death?
Ke Xin left the backyard and took out a fifty-liang silver note from her uncle and handed it to him: "Go buy it tomorrow morning. I'll pickle the sauerkraut in the morning. It takes a month to pickle it before you can eat it."
It's a little early for pickling sauerkraut, but the backyard is cool and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so it shouldn't go bad. I'll go get some spiritual spring water from the space later to be on the safe side.
Ah... almighty spiritual spring water, how can I live without you.
Jiang Hui took the silver note and went out for a walk. When he came back, he drove an ox cart to pick up Ke Xin. This was the first time he bought so much salt, so he was unsure about it. He decided to take Jiuer along to make sure there was some. Ke Xin had no choice but to follow him to the town.
Ke Xin looked at the cow's tail swinging in front of her, and there was a bag under the cow's butt. The smell made Ke Xin feel as nauseous as a two-month pregnant woman vomiting.
After finally reaching the town, before even setting foot on the ground, a man suddenly appeared from the side and proudly said to the person next to him: "This is my fiancée, Jiang Kexin."

Jiang Hui: .....
Liu Feiyang, who had just returned from the village: ...
