Chapter 48 The First Night of Heavy Rain

Aunt Wang's son kept crying out in pain, and the situation was a bit complicated. Father Shen didn't have any professional equipment at hand, so he couldn't give a definite answer.

All I can say is that he should stay still for now, wait for the water to recede a little, and then go to the hospital to take an X-ray.

Aunt Wang didn't get a satisfactory result and kept shouting anxiously, "Doctor Shen, you are a professional doctor. How can you not even see this situation? How can you be a doctor?"

Upon hearing this, Father Shen’s expression immediately turned cold.

"If you don't trust me, find someone else."

Aunt Wang curled her lips and said, "It's just that we can't find anyone. Who doesn't want to go to the hospital?"

The neighbor she called in to help couldn't stand it any longer. "Auntie Wang, how can you say that? Doctor Shen worked so hard to come downstairs to treat your son, and what's your attitude? Not only don't you thank him, but you're also finding fault with him."

Only then did Aunt Wang stop talking.

But the heavy rain did not stop until evening.

The rainfall increased instead of decreasing, and the city's drainage system was completely paralyzed. The accumulated water could not be drained away, causing waterlogging in low-lying areas.

Shen Xiaoxiao's residential complex happened to be in a low-lying area. The first day of rain flooded the basement and garage. The first floor was already submerged, and the water level rose to the second floor.

The people living on the second floor finally started to panic. They weren't worried about the first floor and the basement garage flooding, but the second floor was their home, and if it flooded, what would they do? So they had no choice but to shamelessly go upstairs and beg their upper-floor neighbors if they could stay overnight until the water receded before returning home.

Aunt Wang was naturally panicked. The first person she thought of was Shen Xiaoxiao's family. Two generations of her family were doctors, so it would be easier for them to take care of people. She immediately took her daughter-in-law upstairs to look for someone.

This time, it was still Shen's father who opened the door. Aunt Wang immediately told the purpose of her visit and added at the end: "Doctor Shen, you are a kind person. Please let us stay for one night."

Shen Xiaoxiao listened to the noise here, fearing that her father would soften his heart and agree.

He rushed up in his slippers and said, "I remember your eldest son's family also lives in this building. Why are you coming to my house instead of looking for your eldest son?"

Aunt Wang said awkwardly, "I just had a falling out with the old lady, so it's hard for us to meet."

Father Shen also reacted. Aunt Wang's eldest son was indeed in this building, but because he particularly favored the younger son, he broke up with the eldest son and his wife, and they had not spoken a word in half a year.

But as the saying goes, even broken bones are still connected by tendons. In terms of relatives, her eldest son is closer, so it is impossible for her to live in his house.

So I decisively refused.

This really annoyed Aunt Wang. She didn't get a satisfactory result, so her face changed immediately and she started cursing.

Shen Xiaoxiao quickly closed the security door, and the noise outside immediately died down, and she went downstairs while yelling.

She then patted her chest and said as she returned to the sofa, "I was so scared. I was afraid you would leave them here."

Father Shen said, "How could that be? I know that her eldest son is upstairs. How could she agree to this at a time like this?"

Shen Xiaoxiao: “If you think so, I feel relieved.”

Father Shen sighed: "I have seen many people like this, and there are many people in the hospital who turn the tables. I dare not do this again."

Shen Xiaoxiao was happy.

It seems her father taught her a lot of lessons and she has learned her lesson.

Given Aunt Wang's personality, as long as the water does not recede, she will continue to live in her house with her son, daughter-in-law and grandson. She might even use moral blackmail to turn the tables. Her family cannot afford to support this big Buddha.

As expected, Aunt Wang started cursing in the group that night, saying that the property management were useless and useless, and couldn't even get a kayak, causing her injured son to lie in bed and scream.

And Dr. Shen on the 12th floor is just a name for nothing. He has no real skills and can't see anything. He only wants instruments and examination reports.

Her home was on the second floor, and the water was knee-deep. Late at night, she and her son and daughter-in-law could only hide in the corridor. Her son was also injured.

The neighbors around them are all cold-blooded monsters and are unwilling to take them in.

This offends the entire building both openly and covertly.

Someone immediately mocked her in the group chat, "If you have good relationships, how can you not get help? Is your family the only one on the second floor? How come someone took you in?"

Speaking of this, Aunt Wang became even angrier. "Who said it wasn't true? The neighbor had someone take him in. Why didn't I have such a good fate?"

Everyone in the building knew that she didn't understand what they were saying, so they simply ignored her and continued discussing the rainstorm.

It was a young couple who had just moved in and didn't understand the situation, so they let Aunt Wang and her family live in their home.

Shen Xiaoxiao was worried about the young couple, but there was nothing she could do. No one could stop them from saving people.

This is what it means to be a man with different destiny.

The next morning, the rain finally stopped for a while, and the second floor of the low-lying community was completely flooded.

The people on the third floor were secretly glad that the rain did not affect them, but they were also worried about whether the rain would continue and when it would end, whether there would be enough food at home, and whether they should go out to buy something.

Aunt Wang finally got through to the rescue line, and the hospital sent a speedboat to pick up her injured little son.

The rain was so heavy that the calls for help never stopped. The entire city's rescue system was under high load. The rescue workers were busy all night and didn't even have a sip of water. Their voices were hoarse from shouting.

But the rain came too quickly and too hard, and many people lost their lives in this rainstorm.

After all, no one would have thought that such a heavy rain would fall in broad daylight, and that water would accumulate and rise rapidly in a short period of time.

Heavy rain washed through the streets, the water was rushing, mixed with garbage and debris, and washed away many passers-by who were taking shelter on the roadside.

The person whose car was turned off wanted to wait for a tow truck, but the rain continued. When he came to his senses, the water had already covered the roof of the car.

The sewers with manhole covers washed away, nearby street lights and flooded road sections with buried high-voltage electrical boxes directly swallowed up passers-by.

Not to mention the underground subway stations and the underground floors of shopping malls and supermarkets.

Yesterday was originally Saturday, and many people went out shopping. Who would have thought that they would encounter such a heavy rain that occurs once in a century.

The hospital was in chaos.

But the rescue team arrived quickly, pumped out the water on the first floor, piled up sandbags and flood prevention facilities at the door, and first ensured the operation of the hospital.

Today, the hospital is full of people.

The ward was already full, and the hall and corridor were crowded with injured people sent from various places.

The doctor on duty was extremely busy, examining and prescribing medicine for each patient.

The water was so deep that their colleagues on duty couldn't make it in time and had to bravely go on.
