Ji Tai was dumbfounded when he saw Jiang Wuli leave like that. He wanted Jiang Wuli to say that Jiang Yongtian helped them make money, but he didn't force him to stop being the village chief. This:...
Seeing the Jiang family father and son walking away, Hu Shunzi turned around and punched Ji Tai: "What nonsense are you talking about? Look, our village chief is so angry that he's quitting."
Wang Xiu glared at Ji Tai and said, "Why don't you become the village chief and see if you can help us all get rich."
Zhang Ju raised an eyebrow: "With his character... he can barely eat his fill, yet he's still helping others get rich... the sky really isn't dark yet."
"Ji Tai, you really shouldn't say that." Lame Li San also said.
For such a long time, they were all blaming him. Ji Tai's face darkened and he pointed at everyone: "You are all so hypocritical. Who among you dares to say that you don't want the Jiang family to help you make money? Who of you dares?"
"I just told you my purpose, why do I become the sinner? I didn't force the village chief to stop doing it, why are you all blaming me? You all think the same thing but dare not admit it. Do you really think our village chief doesn't know what you are thinking?"
When everyone heard him shout like that, they all lowered their heads in shame. Of course, they had this thought, but there was no need to say it so directly.
Li San frowned and said, "It's a good idea, but you're too direct. And most of what you said was blaming the village chief. Who can stand that?"
Ji Tai thought back to what he had said, and it seemed that there was a bit of complaint in his words, but what he said was also true.
After returning home, Ke Xin comforted him: "Grandpa, it doesn't matter if you don't become the village chief. You will lead us at home from now on. You have worked hard all your life, and it's time for you to enjoy your life."
Seeing his granddaughter worried about him, Jiang Wuli grinned and said, "Will you be sad in front of me?"
"Haha, no way. I've been the village chief for all these years, and I've really had enough. I didn't step down before because of our special situation. Now that you all have profitable skills, why should I still be the village chief? It's a thankless job."
After saying that, he helped Kexin sit on a small stool in the yard. Looking at his grandsons wandering around the cows in the yard, he sighed deeply: "If all your brothers were married and gave me a great-grandson, I would be able to close my eyes when I die."
Ke Xin hummed a sigh of relief, squatting beside him and watching the smiling faces of her brothers. She tilted her head to look at her grandfather's weathered face and whispered, "Yes, this wish will definitely come true. When the time comes, you can stay home and help your brothers take care of the children, teach them how to read, and wait for your great-grandson to pass the imperial examination and bring honor to the family."
Jiang Wuli chuckled, the wrinkles on his face squeezed together. "Oh, I don't dare to think too much. As long as they have enough food and clothing, a little money in their pockets, and the next generation lives a stable life without illness or disaster, I will be satisfied."
It's not that easy to pass the exam to become a juren...otherwise there would be a lot of people like that. He doesn't dare to hope for it. At most, he hopes that his children can learn to read and don't get cheated when they go out.
Ke Xin gave a thumbs up to her grandfather's mentality. Most old people hope that the next generation will be successful, but her grandfather hopes that his children will be healthy and safe.
"Master, since you are no longer the village chief, you can teach us how to read at home."
She is uneducated and cannot even understand a document when she goes out to look at it. The handwriting she writes looks like the crawling of an old cockroach, as ugly as it can be. The main thing is that she can't always let grandpa go with her to look at documents.
It is better to rely on yourself than on others.
"Come on, before I asked you to learn, you all despised the expensive paper, pens and ink, and said you would run away if you couldn't pass the imperial examination. Now you know it's not too late to learn."
Speaking of this, Jiang Kexin complained helplessly: "Back then, our family was poor, and my brothers were all focused on making money to support the family. Now it's different. Our family has money, so naturally we have to move up a level."
Jiang nodded helplessly. That's true.
After lunch, Ke Xin and Su Yan cleaned up the dishes. When no one was around, she whispered to Ke Xin, "I've finished the tasks you assigned to me. I've left them under your pillow. When you're done, go check them out."
Is the cutie ready?
Suddenly, Ke Xin's eyes lit up and she urged her anxiously: "Hurry up, hurry up, after you finish washing, come with me to try it."
Try it...Su Yan's face turned red, and she gestured with that thing, and it was really... so embarrassing.
The two of them washed the dishes very quickly. After they were done, they returned to the house. This time, Ke Xin remembered to lock the door and couldn't wait to try it out. She made some slight modifications and made two cotton pads on the front of the small clothes. One was to raise it up, and the other was to make the front warmer when wearing it in winter.
As for the triangular basket, it has been slightly modified to save more fabric and be made more sexy. The small clothes and cute little ones are embroidered with exquisite patterns.
After putting it on, Ke Xin anxiously asked Su Yan to look at it: "Do you think my changes this time are better than the last time?"
"Am I more plump?"
"What's next?"
Su Yan blushed, and after glancing at her for a moment, she didn't dare to look at her again. She said weakly, "You already have a great figure, and wearing this makes you look even... bigger."
Ke Xin lowered her head and looked at her proud assets. This was true. She was spoiled by her whole family. Every egg in the house would be left for her. She would not lack too much nutrition, so her development was predictable.
However, this is not the point. The point is to sell this thing.
Ke Xin took off her clothes, grabbed Su Yan and said, "Use the azure blue fabric to make me a set of men's clothes. I have a use for them."
Su Yan's mind went blank immediately, and she said awkwardly, "Men...men's clothing?"
"Yes, men's clothes, hurry up and make them. The clothes don't need to be too exquisite, as long as they can be worn." After Ke Xin gave the instructions, she hid the small clothes and said, "Wash them in the evening. We have to do it secretly."
Ke Xin ran away in a hurry after saying that, leaving Su Yan in a daze in the empty room, not understanding what Ke Xin was trying to do.
In the afternoon, the yard next door had been cleaned up and a door had been opened between the two fences. The three cows in the family were placed next door, and the only thing left was who would live next door.
Ke Xin was the first to raise her paw and volunteered: "I...I'll go live there. Su Yan and I are both girls, so it's more convenient for us to live there."
Jiang Shan raised his paw at the same time: ....
After hearing this reason, he silently put down his hand. This was a good reason and he had no chance to refute it.
No one in the family objected, so Ke Xin took Su Yan with her and moved in with her. At night, Ke Xin lay on the table and concentrated on painting, using small sticks made from burnt branches.
Su Yan didn't stop making clothes, but moved closer. When she saw it, she was dumbfounded, her face flushed, and she was horrified.
The next day
As soon as Su Yan walked out of the house, she met Jiang Xin who came over with bare arms to feed the cows.
Seeing him roll up his sleeves and expose the muscles on his arms, Su Yan was reminded of a certain scene. Her face suddenly turned red. She didn't dare to look at Jiang Xin, and was even more embarrassed to greet him. She lowered her head and ran away.
