Shiyue didn't think as much as He Lixuan did; she just wanted to write to Uncle Shen to ask about the situation.
At this moment, she was extremely grateful that she had the errand-running system.
It allows you to avoid anxious waiting and also eliminates concerns about safety on the journey.
Shiyue immediately sat down to write a letter.
She did not hide anything, and wrote down clearly how she got her mother-in-law to help open her mother's belongings, and how she discovered the letter written by her grandfather and the evidence he left behind.
This is a good thing; there's nothing to hide.
Then she asked about Zhuang Ling's family background and expressed her suspicions.
She asked Uncle Shen to help her find out if Zhuang Wenquan and Zhuang Ling were related.
The letter was written quickly, but Shiyue hesitated when she saw the letter left by her grandfather.
He Lixuan knew what was troubling her and suggested, "I remember the system has a photo function. Why don't you try it and see if you can take pictures of these letters?"
If possible, attaching a set of photos of Uncle Shen would also be appreciated.
Shiyue's eyes lit up immediately!
She knew the system had a camera function, and it could not only take photos but also record videos.
However, most of the photos taken by the system were uploaded online, and she had never used this function in the real world.
If He Lixuan hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have thought of it at all.
But can the photos taken by the system actually be used in real life?
"I'll give it a try," Shiyue said, carrying the wooden box into the space.
Seeing his wife suddenly disappear from his sight, He Lixuan could only come out of the bedroom and stand outside the door.
Just in case one of my sisters-in-law or the others come over, I can help cover for them.
Shiyue asked the system about taking photos, and the system's answer was straightforward: ten yuan per photo, ready to be taken immediately.
Without hesitation, Shiyue photographed and archived all the letters and documents.
Two copies of the photo were made: one to send to Uncle Shen, and one to keep for myself in case of need.
Although it cost more than two hundred yuan, Shiyue felt that the money was well spent.
After receiving the photos, Shiyue sent them out along with the letter she had written via errand runner.
She also placed another order, asking the delivery person to arrange with Uncle Shen to pick up the reply the next day.
She felt that Uncle Shen would definitely give her an answer.
After sending the letter, Shiyue emerged from the spatial dimension.
Before she even reached the door, she heard her husband and sister-in-law talking in hushed tones.
After listening for a couple of sentences, she immediately pushed open the door and went out, interrupting with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't listen to him. I'm fine, I don't feel uncomfortable at all. I was just a little hot just now."
Hearing her say that, Liang Yueming immediately said, "It's easy to get sick if you're not careful in the heat! The weather has been so muggy these past few days, you must be careful to avoid heatstroke."
As she spoke, she kept glancing at Shiyue's face to make sure she was alright before she felt relieved.
Seeing his wife come out, He Lixuan didn't stay at home any longer and went back to the experts' building to continue working, while his two sisters-in-law went to the kitchen together while chatting.
For some reason, it's been unbearably hot on Whale Island these past few days.
The kitchen with the stove burning is like a steamer; you can't stand it for more than two minutes and even breathing becomes difficult.
Left with no other choice, the two of them had to take the vegetables, cutting board, knife, and other items they needed to prepare to the eaves, tidy them up outside, and then bring them into the kitchen to clean them up in the simplest way possible.
For lunch that day, they made boiled shrimp in salt water, a mixed salad, steamed rice, and a large pot of mung bean soup.
Because it was too heavy, they had to borrow a flatbed cart from the mess hall to deliver the meal.
On the way back, looking at the blazing sun, Liang Yueming said, "Didn't they say it was going to rain? Why isn't it raining yet? Hurry up and let it rain so it won't be so hot anymore."
I wonder if her mouth has been blessed?
The rain started pouring down that very afternoon.
It actually rains quite often on Whale Island.
And the rain is usually quite heavy.
But the rain here is usually just a shower, and it stops after a short while. It's rare for it to last all night.
So when the rain first started, neither Liang Yueming nor Shiyue took it seriously.
In the afternoon, they even waded through the water to deliver dinner to the experts' building.
That evening, the men of the He family returned home relatively early, all of them back before eight o'clock.
Because she had to get up early, Shiyue also went to bed early at night, so she was quite surprised to see her husband come into the house.
"Didn't you say you were going to be working overtime these next few days? Why are you back so early today?"
"The rain outside is too heavy, and the first floor of the experts' building is flooded. Qi Feng went over to inform us to leave, saying that they need to sweep up the water and also set up defenses at the building entrance."
As He Lixuan spoke, he took off his clothes. Only then did Shi Yue realize that her husband was completely soaked, and there was even a small puddle where he was standing.
"Is it that big?" Shiyue jumped out of bed and went to the door to see what was going on outside.
As soon as she opened the door a crack, a gust of wind carrying rain rushed towards her.
Caught off guard, Shiyue was instantly covered in the puff of liquid, her hair getting completely wet.
She was completely sobered up by the water.
Seeing her like this, He Lixuan, who had originally wanted to speak up to stop her, immediately laughed.
"I already told you it was raining too hard outside, but you still insisted on looking. Now do you see clearly?"
Shiyue wiped her face and looked at the puddles in the yard.
Because they live on a hillside, their yard has a curved shape, and the ground cannot retain water.
Usually when it rains, the water flows down the mountain along the fence.
But now, there is clearly standing water in the yard, and the raindrops are making a pattering sound as they hit the ground.
This indicates that the rain was too heavy, and the falling water was much faster than the outflowing water, which is why the water flow was obstructed.
Shiyue couldn't help but feel worried.
"How are we going to deliver tomorrow's meals?"
“If the rain keeps going on, I think we probably won’t be able to go to the experts’ building. We’ll most likely have to stay home and work. The experts’ building is in a very low-lying area,” He Lixuan said.
As he spoke, he stood behind Shiyue, looked up at the sky, and his expression showed worry.
"I wonder how long this rain will last? A few days ago, the supply ship delivered almost half a month's worth of food all at once. Will this rain last for half a month?"
"Who knows? Probably not," Shiyue replied.
Although no one wants the rain to keep falling, Shiyue wasn't too worried.
If you have food in your hands, you will not be worried.
The food currently stored on the island is enough to feed the entire island population for a month or two without any problem.
Moreover, they mostly live in the mountains and are not afraid of flooding.
So even if it really rains for ten days or half a month, they have a way to get through it safely.
