Farming and reading family

Chen Ke became even more anxious, thinking that Gao E was usually so generous, so why did she suddenly become so calculative at this time?

"My elder brother and sister-in-law have already done their best to take care of my parents, so how can we share the cost of medicine?" Gao E said directly.

Lei looked at her second sister-in-law: What do you want to do?

"I think it's better this way." Gao E knew that the Lei family didn't want to pay more money. "Big brother and sister-in-law will take care of our parents, and we from the second house will pay for the rest. The third brother can just run errands and get medicine."

"How can that be?" Lei felt that she couldn't let her second sister-in-law suffer such a loss. Taking medicine was a bottomless pit. "Our family is not as good as hers, but we can still contribute a little."

"My third brother already works at the kiln, so he's paid for it." Gao E knew that Lei didn't want to take advantage of her.

Lei looked at Chen Jie, wanting him to speak.

"Your second sister-in-law is right." Chen Ke spoke first. "Third brother just needs to run errands normally."

He was worried that Gao E would make a fuss, but he didn't expect Gao E to take the matter directly.

Chen Qing looked at Chen Ke worriedly: "Mom's medicine is not a small amount of money."

Chen Ke looked at Gao E.

"My husband's education cost the family a lot of money. Now that our family is well-off, it's only right that he spends a little more money." Gao E said seriously.

"The second child needs to study for the imperial examinations, so we need to save some money." Chen Fan said suddenly.

In his eyes, no matter when Chen Ke studies, it is a big deal.

Chen Qing and Chen Jie were silent. He knew what his parents cared about most.

Chen Ke bowed and said, "Now I have Mr. Du's guidance, and the books my wife bought me earlier. I don't have to spend money on studying. In the past two years, we have been exempted from taxes, and our family has gained some land. I will have more than enough money to go to the capital. If I don't give my mother medicine, I will be unfilial."

Chen Fansheng didn't know what to say after hearing what Chen Ke said.

"That's settled then. Thank you for your hard work, brother and sister-in-law." Gao E looked at Chen Qing.

Chen Qing wanted to say that it was inappropriate to ask the second house to pay all the money, but Yang pulled his sleeve.

He glanced at Yang and said, "Since you are so kind, as my elder brother, I can't deny your filial piety. But if you find it difficult, please tell us and we can discuss a solution."

"Okay." Chen Ke agreed.

The matter was agreed upon so simply. Some people contributed the effort, some paid the money, and some ran errands, so everyone got the best of what they had.

Chen Ke returned home and bowed to Gao E.

"What are you doing, husband?" Gao E looked at Chen Ke.

"My studies were a burden to the family before. Thank you for not holding a grudge and being willing to pay for my medicine." Chen Ke expressed his gratitude.

Gao E smiled and said, "No one wants Mom to be like this. My eldest brother and his family are already tired enough taking care of Mom, and my third brother helps us with the work, so this money is also ours to pay."

She just thought it was easy to pay money and there was nothing wrong with it.

Having said that, Chen Ke still felt that Gao E was sensible.

Chen Jie was a little dejected. He did feel that his parents were partial to him, but he also felt uncomfortable knowing that his mother was really that sick.

"Why did mother become like that?" Lei was curious.

Chen Jie gave a rough idea: "The doctor said I will never be normal in this life."

Lei sighed, "Then the eldest sister-in-law will have to bear the brunt of the burden in the future." Seeing Chen Jie's dejected look, she said, "You should take good care of the brick and tile kiln of the second sister-in-law in the future. Just think of it as contributing to the expenses with the second brother's family."

That being said, Chen Jie still felt that this was caused by his second brother's family.

Yang only cleaned up one room, but Chen Fansheng didn't want to live with Jiang. Besides, Jiang needed someone to take care of her at night, and Chen Fansheng couldn't do such a thing. So he had to let Yang and Jiang live together, and Chen Fansheng went to live with the eldest brother.

Yang hardly slept a wink the whole night and was in great pain.

Jiang spoke unclearly, and kept making "hmm" and "ah" sounds, and no one knew what she was doing.

Every time he turned around, he either pooped in bed or peed in bed. There were not enough clean beddings at home, and the house was full of the smell of feces and urine.

However, Yang's eyes began to blur overnight.

"Are you okay tonight, Mom?" Chen Qing saw that Yang looked tired.

Yang almost burst into tears when she heard Chen Qing ask this. She pulled Chen Qing in and told him what had happened: "Look at these things. There's no way to wash them. We already have something to change at home."

Chen Qing was helpless: "The doctor said it will be like this at the beginning, but it will be fine after it recovers a bit."

"How long will it take to recover?" Yang looked at Chen Qing with hope.

Chen Qing didn't know either. He saw that his mother had fallen asleep after tossing and turning all night, but she would still twitch occasionally.

After breakfast, Gao E went to see Master An.

Jiang's condition meant that she would need someone to take care of her eating, drinking, defecating and urinating at least this winter. Yang definitely couldn't do it alone. She had to make a wheelchair and a special bed for her.

This way, Yang can relax and others won't have to worry about it anymore.

Master An knows how to make a wheelchair. It is not difficult to make a bed that can be raised and lowered and has a hole underneath. Master An understood as soon as Gao E explained it.

"It is the children who suffer when someone gets the disease," Master An sighed.

"There's nothing we can do about it. This is what it's like to be a child." Gao E said helplessly.

Master An thought that the Chen family must be very lucky to have married a daughter-in-law like Gao. If it were someone else, he didn't know how harshly they would treat Jiang.

Since Yang was busy taking care of Jiang, the matter of Chen Yuning's marriage fell on Gao E and Lei. Everything went on in an orderly manner.

Originally, Gao E asked Peng Can to kill a pig, but seeing that the mountain was blocked by snow, she asked Peng Can to buy two pigs, one for the banquet and the other for making bacon.

There are not many vegetables in winter, so Gao E asked someone to grow bean sprouts in advance, and added some sauerkraut and dried vegetables, which made it quite a feast.

There are also various soy products that are familiar to the people in Baotou Village. As long as they are cooked with gravy, they are as fragrant as meat.

Gao E hung paper-cut laces all over Peng Can's house, which looked novel and festive. When asked, she found out that it didn't cost much. Everyone in the village said they would do the same when they had happy events in the future.

Although they were married very close to each other, Yang was still holding Chen Yuning's hand in the house, reluctant to let go. Her loving look made people who saw it unable to hold back their tears.

"If mother doesn't let go, the auspicious time will be missed." Chen Hanyue was not so sentimental. It was a good thing that her sister married well.

Yang finally let go and raised her sleeve to wipe the corner of her eyes: "Go quickly."

No matter what, my mother-in-law's illness did not delay her daughter's marriage, so it can be considered a good deed, and it was worth it for me to take care of her every day.

The distance was too close and there were not so many rules, so Peng Can personally carried Chen Yuning over.

Looking at Chen Yuning's new wedding dress and the six sets of dowry behind her, the onlookers were filled with envy.

This was the first such lively happy event in Baotou Village after the flood, making everyone feel that everything would be so good in the future.

The banquet was also extremely sumptuous. People from the entire village came and ate and drank well.

When Fan Shiping arrived at Baotou Village, he couldn't even find anyone to ask for directions, so he had to follow the sound and found Peng Can's house. Seeing that a wedding was being held, he thought that this trip must be a good thing.

"Master Fan?" Jin Ruyi was helping outside and saw Fan Shiping standing outside leading a horse.
