Chapter 51 Lu Yuan's Hand
Han Ying guessed that the news of the tsunami appeared several days earlier than in the previous life, most likely due to her post.
However, she had no idea who took the matter seriously enough to investigate it.
Anyway, as long as the authorities know the news in advance, they will have more time to prepare, and this way this life may be less likely to become chaotic.
There are still 5 days left until the rain stops!
There are still 8 days until the tsunami!
If the authorities had prepared in advance, they would definitely have done better than in the previous life.
"No, actually I am an orphan. My husband and I are neighbors. We have known each other since we were young. I have lived in their house since my parents died when I was in junior high school. So apart from my husband, my son and my mother-in-law, I have no other relatives, and I don't have many friends here."
Wu Tingfang looked a little sad. She didn't expect that after learning such big news, the only person she could tell was her neighbor whom she had just met for a few days.
She has quite a few colleagues in the kindergarten.
But she was actually just a substitute teacher, and had no identity or background. She also had her own little world in early childhood education, so everyone was polite to her on the surface.
But when it comes to the better ones, there really isn't any.
"Okay, let's go out together again, in two hours, and take a break. By the way, do you want to call Lu Yuan across the street?"
Han Ying really didn't know about Wu Tingfang's past.
She had received a lot of help from Wu Tingfang in her previous life, but she didn't realize that she was not good at making friends.
On the contrary, I felt that she was quite enthusiastic and a bit outgoing. Maybe the two of them really got along well.
"Don't worry, my husband has already gone to ask him. Oh, by the way, my husband said that Lu Yuan is not an ordinary person. Since we are destined to be neighbors, it is best to make friends with him and not provoke him!"
"My husband said that he accidentally saw Lu Yuan's hands, and the calluses on his hands were the result of years of sword training. It's not simple. My husband used to be a soldier, he wouldn't be wrong!"
Wu Tingfang's eagerness to share gossip dispelled much of her fear.
Han Ying knew in her previous life that Lu Yuan was no ordinary person. Although she had never seen him use a sword, Han Ying could still vividly remember the way he could remove people's joints.
"Why aren't you surprised at all? Forget it, just take a rest. I'll call you when it's time to leave!"
Wu Tingfang stood up, waved to Han Ying and prepared to go back.
After going out, when Wu Tingfang walked to the door of her house, she saw her husband also walking out of Lu Yuan's house. They looked at each other and said they would go back and talk about it later.
"Da Hu, how is Xiao Lu doing?"
As soon as she entered the house, Wu Tingfang couldn't wait to ask.
"He said okay, and we can call him when we are ready to go out! He also reminded us that he saw an inflatable swimming pool for sale at the mall this afternoon, so we can buy one, as it is bigger and we can bring back more things."
Lei Minghu changed into slippers after entering the house, and then continued: "Wife, how much money do we have left? Do you want all of it..."
"But what about the mortgage? We'll have our belongings, but what if we can't pay the mortgage and get kicked out..."
This is the tragedy of house slaves!
Wu Tingfang also wanted to use all the money to buy things, but unfortunately her family still had a mortgage of more than 5,000 yuan per month, and now they had no income.
"Buy! I still say the same thing, buy as much as you can bring back, don't be stingy with the money!"
"How about this, Da Hu, don't touch the money in the card you use to pay the mortgage. It can last for a few months. If the situation improves after a few months, you can borrow money. One month's mortgage will not be a problem. Mom still has some money, use it all to buy it!"
He Xiu handed a passbook to Wu Tingfang, and then took out 20,000 yuan in cash and gave it to them.
Wu Tingfang took a look at the money in the passbook and there was still 50,000 yuan.
The down payment for this house was paid with the money my parents-in-law had saved throughout their lives, and now they have to take the only money left by my mother-in-law, which makes the couple feel a little guilty.
But they are even more afraid that if they keep putting the money aside they won’t be able to buy anything else.
"Looking at the weather today, I'm afraid the water level will rise even higher tomorrow. What if the bank is closed tomorrow?"
Nowadays, you can pay with your mobile phone or cash, but the money in the passbook cannot be swiped at all and must be withdrawn before it can be used.
"Honey, make a list of the things you need to buy. It's past three o'clock now, and the bank may not close in a while. In order to avoid any more trouble, I will go out to get them in advance, and we will meet at the supermarket then!"
Lei Minghu took the passbook from Wu Tingfang's hand as he spoke.
You don't need to be present in person to withdraw cash from your passbook as long as the amount does not exceed 50,000 yuan at a time. All you need is the password.
"Da Hu, you have to be careful when you're alone. The bank is not close."
Wu Tingfang was a little worried because the bank where the passbook was kept was two kilometers away from their community.
She also knew that it was unrealistic to go back to the community, so it would be closer to wait at the supermarket.
"Don't worry, don't you see where I come from? This little bit of water won't faze me!"
Lei Minghu comforted his wife, but there was actually some anxiety in his eyes, an uncertainty about the future.
But he is the pillar of this family. Everyone in the family needs him. If he is not strong, the family will not be able to survive.
Lei Minghu set off half an hour later.
He had to go there early, otherwise the bank might close early. Not only would he have made a wasted trip, but he would also be in trouble if he couldn't withdraw the money.
"Mom, I'm a little scared!"
After Lei Minghu left, Wu Tingfang's eyes were red when she looked at her mother-in-law, and she felt very uneasy.
Ever since she learned about the possibility of a tsunami, she has been unable to calm down and her hands are still shaking.
Wu Tingfang didn't know why, because Pengcheng was obviously far away from the seaside.
In theory, even if there was a tsunami, it would have nothing to do with them, but as she watched the global heavy rains that had been falling for more than ten days in a row, she felt inexplicably anxious.
"Don't be afraid. Think about it, Xiaohang is still young. They say a mother is strong. Think more about Xiaohang and you won't be afraid. No matter what happens, as long as our family is together, there is nothing to be afraid of!"
"Don't go out later. I'm worried about your condition. I'll go. Mom is only in her fifties and not too old to be unable to move. You stay at home with Xiaohang. Go and sleep with Xiaohang for a while. Don't think too much!"
He Xiu patted her daughter-in-law's arm.
Afang is good in every way except that she is a little timid. She has never seen the world and gets scared by the slightest thing.
"Today's rain is particularly heavy, much heavier than yesterday. I'm afraid the water level outside will be even deeper in the next few hours. Mom, can you make it?"
Wu Tingfang knew that her current state was not right.
On the one hand, she didn't want her mother-in-law to go out and suffer, but on the other hand, she was worried that if she went out in her current state, she would hold others back.
