Chapter 272 Heavy Rain



It wasn't just a week, it was a full half month.

Xu Ying was not worried about food. The economy of her county was growing continuously, so she didn't have to worry about these things at all.

The destruction of crops is a minor matter; the loss of life is a big deal.

The people in their village earned money this year and rebuilt their houses, but the houses in other villages are not solid.

Last year, the collapse of the dam was one of the main reasons for the flooding of the village. But even if the dam had not collapsed, this heavy rain would definitely have destroyed some fragile houses.

She only hoped that the dam would be safe this time. Xu Ying had not experienced these things in her previous life, but when she thought of these tragedies, her heart ached.

"Master Xu, don't worry too much. The dams around us have been raised and renovated this time. The rain will be stored and it won't be like before."

After Xu Ying said this, Xu's father calmed down a bit: "Yes, Uncle Xu, this time our dam has been repaired and raised a bit, nothing will happen."

Liu Yuefen, who was standing aside, didn't mind the commotion, and looked at Xu Ying with disdain and said, "Yes, Uncle Xu, it's just a heavy rain, and we have had rain in previous years.

There's nothing to be afraid of. I've lived for most of my life and have never seen any floods. It just happened that we were hit by one this year.

I think it's just right that it's raining. We've been working overtime these days and are exhausted. Let's take this opportunity to have a good rest."

Xu Qingqing nodded. Her aunt didn't assign her any easy jobs, so the work she had been doing during this period was tiring and dirty.

She would have been exhausted a long time ago. If it weren't for the salary supporting her, she would have quit long ago.

Now is the time to be lazy.

"That's right, Master. You're just too worried. Maybe the rain will stop when you wake up after a good night's sleep."

Grandma Xu looked at what her eldest daughter-in-law and granddaughter said, her mouth trembling with anger, and she took her cane and hit them directly: "Shut up.

You are not good at anything, but you are always lazy. Get out of here."

Liu Yuefen didn't expect that her mother-in-law would scold and beat her in public in front of so many ancestors. She felt completely humiliated in an instant.

Especially in front of Xu's mother, she had been strong-willed all her life and liked to compete with others, but she could never beat Xu's mother and felt that all her face and dignity were gone.

He glared at Grandma Xu fiercely and said, "I am biased. If you have the guts, don't come to our house again."

After saying this, Liu Yuefen ran away angrily.

Xu Jianhe was left looking at his mother with a look of self-blame on his face, his mouth moving but saying nothing.

Grandma Xu's heart broke when she looked at her eldest son.

"Mom, since my sister-in-law doesn't want you to go to her house, then come to our house." Chen Meilan said with a smile.

The man only has his mother left, so she naturally knows how important this only elder is to her.

Instead of letting a man always worry about his mother-in-law, it is better to bring her to her side.

When Grandma Xu heard what her second daughter-in-law said, her eyes instantly turned red and her face was filled with shame.

She feels sorry for the second brother's family.

As the eldest son, the eldest son has been spoiled by her and the man since he was a child.

Later, the husband died early due to illness, and she has been living in the eldest son's wife's home, working like a slave for the eldest son's family, taking care of the children and doing farm work.

The second son's wife also had children at the time, and life was difficult, but she never took care of the second son's wife's family once.

She didn't expect that her beloved son, whom she held in her arms, would get married and completely forget about her as a mother.

She regretted giving all the family money to the eldest brother's family.

Now, even if I want to make amends to the second brother's family, there is no way.

If you are an unfilial son, the younger generation will see it, so just don’t blame yourself in the future.”

Xu Jianhe suddenly raised his head and looked at his two sons, as if he saw himself and his second brother.

"Okay, second wife, I'm tired, let's go back." Grandma Xu said.

It's raining now, the weather is gloomy, and there's a gust of wind, making it chilly.

Chen Meilan had wanted to go back for a long time. After hearing what her mother-in-law said, she supported her mother-in-law and the man and went back together.

Father Xu stood up and prepared to send Uncle Xu back.

Mother Xu looked at Grandma Xu with some heartache: "Your Grandma must have loved your uncle Jianhe so much in the past, but I didn't expect that she would raise such an ungrateful person."

Xu Ying smiled but said nothing. No one would have the last laugh until the last moment.

It was the same in my previous life, but after Xujia Village was washed away, the famine ended when the reform and opening up began, and the land was directly bought by a real estate developer.

It was built into a tourist attraction at that time.

At that time, the developer gave a large sum of money for demolition and also compensated us for the house in the county town.

The name of the owner of the house that belonged to Grandma Xu was Uncle Xu, not Xu Jianhe.

This family was ultimately driven out of their house because of their own fault. Grandma Xu gave the demolition compensation to the second family without hesitation.

When Mr. Xu came back from sending the people away, he was completely wet.

Xu's mother quickly boiled some hot water for the man to take a hot bath.

The rain was still falling outside. Under the dark sky, the villages seemed to be covered by dark clouds and were extremely gloomy.

"Jianguo, nothing will happen, right?" Xu's mother was a little scared.

Father Xu looked at his wife and comforted her, "What are you afraid of? If our daughter says she's fine, then she's definitely fine."

Mother Xu nodded, hoping that the rain would stop soon.

After washing up in the evening, Xu Ying returned to her room. In her previous life, she would have been tricked out by Dong Wenzhong at this time.

I have never experienced these things before, but now after this experience, Xu Ying could feel the horror of natural disasters even when lying in bed.

The village was silent at night, when suddenly a cry was heard.

The people in Xujia Village all pricked up their ears in fear, wondering if someone had died.

Outside the Huo family's door, Huo Hanjie cried miserably, and he and his wife and children cried out: "Mom, open the door! If you don't open the door, our son will be washed away."

"Mom, we know we were wrong and shouldn't have been disrespectful to you before. Please save us.

The rain has been falling non-stop, our house has been flooded, and the roof is leaking, so we really have no place to live.

Mom, even if you don't feel sorry for me and Hanjie, you should at least feel sorry for your grandchildren."

Huo Hanjie's daughter-in-law stood at the door and banged on it hard. The rain soaked her whole body and she looked very miserable.

Grandma Huo lay on the bed with a frown on her face. Her heart ached when she thought of how her son had severed ties with her and treated her like an enemy.

"Call your grandma quickly! Do you want to die?" Huo Hanjie's wife looked at her son and daughter with anger and slapped them in the face.
