Chapter 6 Changing reputation and destiny

"While calculating how much money we have to give to your Sun family, you Sun family should also calculate how much money you have to live in and live with the Yang family over the years."

Ke Muqing waved his fingers in a leisurely manner, "The Yang family's land that you cultivate will be counted as money for you. If you eat, use, and wear the Yang family's land, it will also be counted as silver in exchange for it. Is that fair?"

The neighbors immediately started laughing.

Someone asked Mr. Sun, "In the years since you married into the Yang family, have your Sun family ever suffered from hunger or cold, right? The Yang family spent money to raise them for you, and now you naturally have to give them back~"

The word "marriage" is enough to humiliate the entire Sun family.

They are all from the same village. Who doesn't know how poor Mr. Sun was before he married Ke Muqing?
  There are so many people in the entire Sun family, and they only rely on more than four acres of land. The family is still too lazy to serve more than four acres of land. Boss Sun's family used to be the poorest in the village.

If we really have to do the math, the Sun family doesn't know how much money they have to pay back to the Yang family.

Yang Lizheng felt that the Sun family was very ridiculous.

He asked Sun Erdan, "Is it still calculated? If you want to calculate it, I will go to the county government later and do the calculation for you first. Ke Xiucai happens to be here. Can Ke Xiucai give you two a good reconciliation?"

Boss Sun's face turned red with anger.

I never knew that Ke Muqing was such a sharp-tongued woman. I really looked down on her before and thought she was a stupid woman who didn't understand the world at all.

Boss Sun regretted it very much. If he had known that he had not killed the person and had such a result, he should not have been so impulsive.

"What are you guys from the Sun family doing standing there dumbfounded? Move all your stuff away quickly. If anyone doesn't take it away, I'll throw it into the river!" Ke Muqing urged.

Boss Sun was the first to return to the house. Yang Wenxiao immediately chased after him when he saw it, not forgetting to turn around and ask for credit from Ke Muqing.

"Mom, I'm going to keep an eye on him. Don't let him take away our Yang family's things!"

Yang Wenxiao took the lead and didn't curse when he saw Ke Muqing. The rest of the Yang family also had the courage to follow suit, and no one from the Sun family was left out.

Even the two sisters Sun Daya were followed closely by Yang Shuangshuang and her brother Yang Chengzhuo.

Ke Muqing glanced at Sun Xiaoya, who was standing on the side as motionless as the wooden stake, and then walked towards Yang Lizheng.

After discussing, "Uncle, could you please help us with the household registration? Xiaoya will follow me from now on. I want to change her name."

Yang Lizheng nodded, "You have to change your name. You are the daughter of the scholar after all."

In the past, because Boss Sun favored boys over girls, he didn't want to see his daughter Sun Xiaoya. Even his mother, Ke Muqing, treated her so coldly that even her name was very perfunctory.

Boss Sun's eldest granddaughter is called Sun Daya, but the youngest aunt is easily called Sun Xiaoya.

Ke Xiucai was not a pedantic scholar, and he married the daughter of his mentor, who was also a literate girl. Therefore, all of Ke Xiucai's children were also literate.

Ke Muqing's ability is the only one in the village besides Yang Lizheng.

Earlier Yang Lizheng had said that Ke Muqing was not illiterate and couldn't come up with a good name, but the original owner didn't care.

Ke Muqing originally wanted Sun Xiaoya to take the surname Yang, but after thinking that it would be unkind to the original owner's husband who died young, he gave up the idea.

"Xiaoya will take my last name from now on, and her names will be the same as those of her elder sisters. From now on, she will be called Xiuyu, the jade of Biyu." Yang Lizheng muttered in a low voice, "Ke Xiuyu, what a good name, then I will register your household registration by the way. All changed."

Ke Muqing thanked him and turned to look at the thin little girl who was standing with the shock in her eyes.

Changing her name also changed her life.

When the original owner was around, this little girl ended up marrying Sun Quanyou. She was sent to the fool's husband's house when she was only seven years old. Before she could start escaping from famine, she was stoned to death by the fool.

The original owner only realized how distressed he was after the person died. Boss Sun tried to persuade him for many days but to no avail. The original owner still took the youngest's body back to the Yang family.

Feeling sorry for both people and money, she gritted her teeth and took out three taels of silver to order a coffin and take care of the funeral arrangements, giving the child precious but very cheap maternal love after death.

The Sun family failed to take away anything valuable under the eyes of the Yang family. The group walked out dejectedly, holding their worthless clothes and shoes.

Sun Erdan even began to complain about Sun Heiwa and Sun Quanyou, "It's all my fault, eldest brother and Lao Wu. You don't know how to persuade me. The good days are ruined by your troubles. In the future, our family will have to Drink the northwest wind!"

Sun Heiwa's wife glared at Ke Muqing, thinking that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was gone, could she finally say the words she had been holding back for so many years?

But just when she opened her mouth, she saw Ke Muqing glance at her and said coldly, "If you dare to scold me, don't blame me for slapping you later."

Sun Heiwa's wife immediately shut her mouth tightly. She has been a mother-in-law for ten years, and she knows the temperament of this half-way mother-in-law.

The scholar's daughter was so strong that she could slap someone's head until it buzzed.

The Sun family packed up and left. For the neighbors, the excitement was over and most of the people had dispersed.

Ke Muqing glanced at the group of children and grandchildren of the original owner. Seeing the beaming faces of the people, he felt his eyes hurt but couldn't see.

She turned to look at Ke Xiucai, thought for a moment, and asked politely, "Dad, will you come back after dinner?"

Ke Xiucai waved his hands angrily, "I can't even take a bite of your food."

He was bluntly disgusted, but still softened his tone and explained a little more, "Wen Xiao suddenly came to say that you are gone. Your mother almost failed. It was an emergency. Huan Zhang and I came over first to take a look. It took so long Well, your mother and the others must be waiting anxiously at home, I have to go back and talk to them first so that they can settle down as soon as possible."

"It's me who makes you parents worry." Ke Muqing also felt sympathy for the old father of the original owner of the stall who couldn't handle his daughter. He turned around and called Yang Wenxiao, who was still there to claim credit with his brothers.

"Hitch the bullock cart and take your grandfather back."

Then he looked at the two daughters-in-law of the original owner and said, "Go to the kitchen to pack a piece of meat and some eggs for grandpa to take back."

Chen Nier, Yang Jiye's wife, was straight-minded and blurted out, "Mom, how can we have meat at home? There are still some eggs."

The eight-year-old boy Yang Chengzhuo standing next to Chen Nier was unhappy. He pursed his lips and asked Ke Muqing, "Grandma, the eggs are given away, what should I eat tomorrow morning?"

Ke Xiucai was too lazy to say a word at this moment. He tossed his sleeves and walked away.

Yang Wenxiao led the cow and chased it all the way. Ke Xiucai was so angry that he didn't even look back.

Ke Muqing didn't chase him. If he caught up, he would be scolded.
