The house is leaking and we have no place to lie down. My brother is still running a fever. Grandma, please save Yeer and my brother."
Grandma Huo lay on the bed with her eyes closed, listening to the heavy rain pouring against the window and the crying of her granddaughter and grandson. She felt sad.
"Grandma, please help Ye'er." The voice of Huo Ye'er crying outside the door came into the room.
Grandma Huo became worried when she heard the voice. She quickly got dressed and got out of bed. However, when she opened the door, she saw her grandson standing outside.
"You haven't slept yet?" Grandma Huo's face showed guilt. She knew very well how her eldest son treated his grandson.
This house was built by her grandson. Grandma Huo would feel sorry for her grandson if she let his family move in.
Huo Chen responded calmly and frowned when he heard the noise outside.
After a long time, he said, "Let them in."
When Grandma Huo heard her grandson's words, her face was filled with surprise: "Is it really possible?"
Huo Chen saw the change in Grandma Huo's expression, lowered his eyes and nodded again.
He returned to the house quickly.
Grandma Huo opened the door, looked at her grandchildren and waved.
When Huo Hanjie saw the door opened, his face immediately filled with joy. He knew that his mother would not be so cruel as to watch their family wandering outside.
As soon as he took a step to come in, Grandma Huo stopped him: "Two children can come in, you two get out of here."
The child was still young and didn't understand things. Besides, there were two other children at that time, and Grandma Huo couldn't bear to see her younger generation get hurt.
But she knew very well how hateful her son and daughter-in-law were. For Chen'er's sake, she would never let them come in and hurt her grandson's heart.
Huo Hanjie was stopped by Grandma Huo. Although he was unwilling, he was still afraid of Huo Chen. He looked at the yard but did not dare to go in.
Watching Grandma Huo close the door, Huo Hanjie was filled with despair.
"Mom, please save us!" Huo's wife was full of despair. She glared at the man fiercely and said, "It's all your fault.
Your mother is also a cruel person. She actually abandoned you, her own son, for a grandson who is not her own."
Huo Hanjie's face was filled with anger and he was extremely resentful, but his house was indeed no longer habitable and the whole house was leaking.
Looking at the two-story houses in the village, Huo Hanjie's face was filled with anger. It was all because of that little bastard Huo Chen, who followed Xu Ying to exclude them.
This prevented their family from working in the workshop, otherwise he could have built a house and they would not be homeless now.
The more Huo Hanjie thought about it, the angrier he became. Seeing the door of his second brother's family motionless, he rushed over with a belly full of anger.
"Second brother, you coward, has your house been flooded? Don't you want to take your wife and children to that old woman's house?
Look at that wolf cub, how comfortable he lives in our Huo family." Huo Hanjie didn't dare to provoke Huo Chen, so he turned around and looked for his younger brother.
Huo Hanjian was not stupid. Compared to the stupid and selfish character of the boss, Huo Hanjian yawned and walked out the door: "Brother, what are you yelling about? Can't you let me sleep?"
Huo Hanjie was quite surprised to hear his brother's words: "You are still sleeping now. Look at our village. Everyone has built a building, but we two are still living in the mud house.
This heavy rain won't stop anytime soon. The house will be washed away sooner or later. I can't sleep at home now because it's leaking inside and outside the house.
Isn't there a leak in your house?"
Huo Hanjie's wife ran over and stretched her head to look curiously at her second brother's yard.
Huo Hanjian shook his head: "Brother, if you have nothing else to do, I will go back to sleep. If you don't know how to fix the leak, it's nothing serious at my house anyway."
He was about to close the door after he finished speaking, and Huo Hanjie became anxious upon seeing this. If he repaired the house now, he would fall down before he even got to the top, so he would not go.
Huo Hanjie's eyes rolled and he trembled with anger: "Well, my parents were really biased. They built a solid house for you, but the house they built for me would break if touched."
As soon as he said this, Huo Hanjian lost his composure: "Brother, are you really confused or just pretending to be confused? The houses were built exactly the same, but Dad let us choose them ourselves.
The reason why my house doesn't leak is because I just repaired it a few days ago. Who is as lazy as you and doesn't even know to repair their house? "
After hearing this, Huo Hanjie felt ashamed.
Huo Hanjie's wife was also very angry and wanted to hit the man when she saw him.
"Second brother, your eldest brother and I really have no more room in our house. Can we stay in your house temporarily?"
Huo Hanjian thought about it and realized that his elder brother and sister-in-law were both bad-tempered, but he was even worse and was not afraid of anything going wrong.
Nod.
Huo Hanjie was surprised when he saw this.
"Brother, you can live in my house, but there is no free lunch in the world. Give me half of your food." Huo Hanjian said politely.
There was no telling when the heavy rain would stop, and there would surely be a famine after the disaster, so he had to make some preparations in advance.
Huo Hanjie's face turned black with anger: "Second brother, I am your biological brother."
"Brothers should settle accounts clearly. If I hadn't let you stay at home, I'm afraid you and your wife would have frozen to death tonight.
Look, the rain is still falling. It's now up to people's ankles. If it keeps raining this hard, it will probably reach people's knees after tonight.
It's cold now, and it's hard for you to have no place to live."
This was the first time Huo Hanjie felt threatened like this, but he had no choice but to agree angrily.
The heavy rain was still falling. Inside the Yu County Food Factory, Director Sun and Director Niu sat together, anxiously waiting.
I can’t get through to the phone in Xujia Village no matter how hard I try. I hope nothing has happened.
Originally, Director Sun just wanted to make a phone call to ask about Xujia Village and show concern, but he made several calls but couldn't get through.
It's raining heavily in the county right now, and the water is up to people's calves. I don't know what's happening in the village.
Houses in rural areas are generally not well built, I hope they won’t be washed away by water.
"Lao Niu, haven't you been to Xujia Village before? Are the houses in their village strong? No one answered the phone. Did something happen?" Director Sun looked worried.
When Director Niu heard this, he quickly looked at Secretary Yang and said, "Secretary Yang, don't you often go to Xujia Village? You are dating Xiao Xu's cousin. Are the houses in Xujia Village solid?"
Secretary Yang answered truthfully: "Xujia Village used to sell vegetables in restaurants, and now it cooperates with our textile factory and food factory. Now every household in the village has built a building.
The house is solid and won’t collapse.”
Only then did Director Sun breathe a sigh of relief.
Director Niu comforted him, "Old Sun, don't worry too much. It's raining so hard now, the village must have been out of electricity.
The workshops must be closed for work, and every household must have gone home.”
As soon as Director Niu finished speaking, the lights in the office flickered and then went out.
