As Xu Lai listened, she saw her second uncle's anger finally erupt, and he cursed her so-called eldest uncle with insults like "ungrateful wretch" and "beast."

Xu Lai thought that it seemed her uncle must have inherited his mother's "excellent" character.

The eldest cousin, Xu Yongqing, and the eldest cousin, Xu Qiong, also inherited their uncle's selfishness.

As the saying goes, "People from the same family don't enter the same door."

My aunt, Huang Cuicui, is also a two-faced, opportunistic, gossipy, and unreasonable person.

“I received a letter from the village chief. I was worried that Xiao Hai, a minor, would be bullied in the village, so I applied to be discharged from the army and returned to the village.”

How a single young man raises a little boy and does everything he can to help him get married and have children, but Xu Lai and Xu Chao know quite a bit about what happened afterward.

Because their father was a grateful and appreciative person, he often told their mother and siblings how their second uncle took care of and protected them when they were young.

Therefore, both Song Qiu'e and the siblings Xu Lai and Xu Chao completely regarded Xu Jiangming, who had never married, as their most senior elder and treated him with utmost filial piety.

"Second Uncle, don't be angry. We'll have plenty of opportunities to teach that family a lesson in the future!"

Seeing her second uncle so angry that he wanted to rush to his uncle's house and beat up the whole family of four, Xu Lai quickly spoke up to comfort him.

"Lai Lai is right. Since we don't have much time left, we need to hurry up and prepare more things!"

According to my eldest granddaughter, after the virus outbreak, there was a month-long lockdown, followed by more than a year of torrential rains and natural disasters.

To survive, aside from everything else, we need to stock up on as much food as possible.

After listening to her second uncle's advice, Xu Lai couldn't help but give him a mental thumbs up.

As expected of someone who had served in the military, her parents were still in shock after they became convinced of what she had said about an impending outbreak of an unknown virus and a natural disaster caused by torrential rain.

And my second uncle has already begun to propose methods to deal with those viruses and natural disasters.

Stockpiling goods isn't the most important thing, is it?

"Yes, yes, Uncle is right, we should take this opportunity to stock up on goods as soon as possible!"

After Xu Haiguo and Song Qiu'e had a moment to process what their daughter had said about the impending disaster, they heard their second uncle's suggestion and nodded in agreement.

However, Xu Lai raised another question: after the whole family stocked up on goods, should they all go back to their house in the city together, or should they stay in their hometown first and return to the city together after the virus is over in a month?

Rural areas are sparsely populated and have a slow population movement, so the chances of contracting this virus are much lower.

But her apartment in the city was on the seventeenth floor. It was a tall building, and according to her memories from her previous life, even after more than a year of torrential rain, her apartment was not destroyed or flooded.

Rural houses are located in low-lying areas, and if there is continuous heavy rain for half a month, they will likely be flooded.

"Let's go straight to the city!"

After some discussion, everyone unanimously decided to go straight back to the city.

Before the torrential rain arrived, they had to move the supplies to houses in the city, which was quite conspicuous.

It would be better to secretly put the purchased supplies in early on.

Once these things were decided, everyone took out their pens and paper, sat down in the room, and discussed what to buy.

Stockpiling a large amount of supplies requires money, and the family needs to calculate how much savings they have.

After graduating from junior high school, Xu Haiguo couldn't concentrate on his studies, so he went out to work on construction sites with his second uncle.

After becoming familiar with the construction site, the uncle and nephew, relying on their previous savings and foresight, decided to become small contractors together.

Especially nine years ago, when China's real estate market began to rise sharply, the uncle and nephew made some money during those years.

"Our bank deposits plus cash at home amount to nearly three million, but we still have more than 500,000 in outstanding payments from the construction site!"

Xu Haiguo is a tall, strong, and seemingly honest man, but in reality, he is a very shrewd person.

He knows everything about money.

After Song Qiu'e married Xu Haiguo, she initially helped out at the construction site.

After having children and earning a little money, she began to focus on taking care of her children and family at home.

Although she didn't go out to work and earn money, she collected the rent from an old school district apartment in the city after her family moved a few years ago.

Including the household allowance Xu Haiguo gave her, her secret stash amounted to nearly 300,000 yuan.

"Besides, we can sell the old school district houses and use the money to stockpile supplies. Anyway, the apocalypse is coming, so having so many houses is pointless!"

"Yes, although this house is old, it has the best elementary school in the city within its school district, so it can still sell for several hundred thousand."

Song Qiu'e's suggestion was approved by everyone.

Xu Lai and her younger brother Xu Chao are both students, one in university and the other in junior high school, so they naturally don't have much money.

Finally, there's Xu Jiangming.

"I still have about a million yuan. I originally planned to split this money equally between Lai Lai and Chao Chao when I die!"

Upon hearing the mention of money, Xu Jiangming immediately got up and went back to his room to fetch a small tin box, about the size of his palm.

The small tin box was opened, revealing two bank cards and a small black cloth bag with exquisite embroidery.

"Here, Xiao Hai, you know the PIN for this card!"

After placing the two bank cards in his nephew's hand, Xu Jiangming casually opened the embroidered pouch, took out the contents, and carefully placed them in his rough palm.

Wow, it's so beautiful!
