Chapter 84 I should have let that old man Tian pry open your door!
In the afternoon, after returning from the police station, Widow Li went straight to Ye Ying's house.
Ye Ying was a little confused when she saw Widow Li appear at the door angrily.
It seems like she hasn't done anything to offend Widow Li in the past two days?
Before Ye Ying could think about it, Widow Li pointed her finger at Ye Ying's nose and started to curse her.
"It's all your fault, you bitch, for meddling in other people's business. My man is in the police station. He won't be out for more than half a month!"
"It's only a few days before the harvest. My husband has been detained. What will happen to my crops? Who will harvest them? Will you harvest them for me?"
"You tell me!"
Before Ye Ying could figure out what was going on, she was inexplicably treated to a massive meal.
After a pause, she frowned and said, "Your man is in detention, what does it have to do with me?"
"Did I beat Mr. Tian? Widow Li, don't you think you are being unreasonable?"
Widow Li put her hands on her waist and said, "If you hadn't been meddling in other people's business that night, would the villagers have known about it?"
"If this matter hadn't been spread out, Huang Biao wouldn't have known about it! If he didn't know, he naturally wouldn't have beaten up Old Man Tian!"
Ye Ying: “…”
So she did something good but it went wrong?
She accidentally discovered that the neighbor's widow was being harassed by a creepy old man. She couldn't stand it and took action. However, the old man not only didn't appreciate it, but also thought she was meddling in other people's business!
Well, my kindness was taken for granted, and I deserved that Old Man Tian to squat at the door of Widow Li's house every night!
She will never do such a thing again where doing good things will get her into trouble!
Thinking of this, Ye Ying sneered: "So you mean I helped wrongly?
So I should let that old man Tian pry open your door, come into your room and sleep with you, right? "
Widow Li's face froze, and a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes.
"That's not the case. It's just that we shouldn't make such a big fuss..."
"Huang Biao happened to have been in the county these days and just came back. If no one had told him about this, Old Man Tian wouldn't have been beaten like this!"
"Huang Biao would not have been detained."
Ye Ying snorted coldly: "Why would I care so much about you? I didn't call those villagers over to watch."
"If you think I helped you wrongly that night, if I encounter such a thing in the future, I will stay away from it and pretend I didn't see it. I will never interfere!"
"From now on, when your husband is not at home, no matter if that old man comes to pry open your door or something, we will just pretend we don't know anything!"
"You two can sleep if you want, whatever you want."
Having said that, Ye Ying pushed Widow Li out of the door, and then mercilessly slammed the door of her house shut.
This widow Li is really a bitch. Her husband beat someone up and was sent to the police station, and she had no one to blame, but she actually thought of blaming her.
Want her to be a scapegoat? No way!
However, Widow Li only came to cause trouble once and never made a fuss again, so Ye Ying didn't think much about it.
But their family had completely fallen out with Widow Li, and they were too lazy to even maintain superficial harmony.
Widow Li would point at them and curse them as soon as she saw them.
Ye Ying had given the old couple a heads-up beforehand. Widow Li was angry, so she told them to ignore it and just let it go in one ear and out the other.
It is now mid-September and the weather has gradually started to get cooler. In about a week, we will be able to harvest the rice.
Now all 500 households in the village have put aside their other tacit tasks and focused on the crops that are about to be harvested. They cannot take it lightly at all.
These crops are one of their most important sources of income in a year. Once the crops are ripe, they have to harvest them as soon as possible to avoid all possible disasters.
At that time, the school will also extend the autumn harvest holiday for about ten days. Students in school will come back to help their families with the harvest, and then return to school for classes.
Huang Biao was detained, and Widow Li had no choice but to go back to her parents' home to borrow some money, hoping to redeem Huang Biao, and then compensate Old Man Tian for some of his medical expenses.
If Huang Biao was not redeemed, the several acres of crops in the family would be left unharvested, and it would be impossible for a middle-aged woman like her to handle the situation alone.
But the people at the police station said that Huang Biao did not need to be redeemed for his crime. He only needed to pay the fine and compensation for the injured, and he would be released after being detained for 5-15 days at most.
But the autumn harvest would begin in Dayan Village in five days. What does 5-15 days mean? What could Huang Biao do if he was released at that time?
Widow Li returned to the village helplessly. She had no choice but to spit at the door of Ye Ying's house to ease her frustration.
As if that wasn't enough, they also put a stinking trash can between the two houses. Although it wasn't directly facing Ye Ying's house, her head was buzzing with the smell every time she went in and out.
Ye Ying was really surprised. It was the first time she saw such a strange neighbor.
But it was time to prepare for the autumn harvest, and she didn't have much free time to play with Widow Li, so she planned to ask her for it back later.
At this time, the walls of Dayan Village were covered with red slogans about the autumn harvest.
Slogans such as "Seize the opportunity, harvest and sow", "Harvest and sow, the more you work, the more you get", and "Harvest and sow, the harvest is just around the corner" can be seen everywhere.
When Ye Ying saw the big red letters painted on the wall, she immediately felt the sense of age.
The whole village was counting the days and were ready for the harvest.
However, three days before the autumn harvest, an unprecedented rainstorm disrupted everything.
The rainstorm lasted for three days and three nights, with no sign of stopping.
The rain flowed down as if there was a hole in the sky.
Three days and three nights without stopping, what does this mean?
On the second day of the rain, the water in the village had reached the thighs.
At this time, everyone thought it was just a heavy rain that would stop soon.
But what was unexpected was that the rainfall reached its peak that evening, and a severe flood swept in, impacting the entire village.
Even some dilapidated houses were washed down by this merciless flood.
Wang Lijun, the village chief, saw that the situation was not good. He first called the local government for help, and then urgently asked the villagers to evacuate as much as possible and retreat to a safe place to wait for rescue.
I watched the flood continue to surge into my home. This place is located in a plain, and every household in the village is a bungalow, so there is no way to escape.
Ye Ying made up her mind and simply put the ladder against the wall, letting the old couple and An Xiaotong climb up the wall one after another, and then she followed them up, planning to hide on the top of the wall for a while.
Not long ago, Wang Lijun went door to door to inform the villagers that he had requested support from the government and that the People's Liberation Army would come to rescue them soon, and asked the villagers not to panic but to hide in high places first.
