It had rained all night, and the already full river had begun to boil over near the banks, soaking much of the land.
But in the end the road was not flooded.
Fang Jianzhong took a tricycle back to the county, and the driver was still sighing:
"I have to go back quickly, otherwise I won't be able to go back if it rains again."
Fang Jianzhong looked at the gloomy clouds in the whistling wind, and felt his clothes being blown up by the cool wind. He said:
"Who said it wasn't? It's raining pretty hard this year. I need to hurry home to get an umbrella so I can go to work. Uncle, could you please give me a ride?"
The master quickly waved his hands: "Hey, what are you talking about? It's nothing."
Fang Jianzhong paid the fare and hurried home to get an umbrella.
It could rain again at any moment, judging by the weather.
When Fang Jianzhong took the umbrella and walked to the factory gate, he saw an unexpected figure.
His face was full of surprise: "Mom? Why are you here!"
Wang Dajuan looked at him, her wrinkled eyelids suddenly moved, and her thin lips suddenly smiled, revealing her yellow teeth.
"Yingchun, Mom is here to see you."
The strange feeling of disharmony in Fang Jianzhong's heart rose again, and he frowned.
"Mom, who is Yingchun? What are you playing at? How about this, you come to my house and sit for a while until I get home from get off work? It's going to rain heavily soon, and the roads will be flooded, so you won't be able to go back."
A smile appeared on Wang Dajuan's old face: "Yingchun, Mom will listen to you."
She kept a kind expression and followed Fang Jianzhong step by step. When she saw Fang Jianzhong's house, she kept muttering:
"Yingchun has made progress and moved into a building in the city."
Fang Jianzhong didn't respond, but turned around and said, "Mom, the stairs are steep, be careful and don't fall."
Fortunately, Lili returned to her hometown and was not here, otherwise who knows what his mother would do. She was pregnant and could not stand the torture.
These thoughts flashed through Fang Jianzhong's mind, and he took Wang Dajuan back home. He took out the key, clicked the door open, turned around and pulled his mother in.
"Mom, we have all kinds of food at home. Just take whatever you want. It's raining outside, so just sit at home and wait for me to come back at noon to cook dinner."
Wang Dajuan looked left and right, then sat down on the wooden sofa with her hands on her thighs.
"Yingchun, go to work. Mom won't delay you."
Fang Jianzhong frowned again, and finally couldn't help asking: "Who is Yingchun?"
Wang Dajuan paused, her face suddenly turned angry, and she stared at Fang Jianzhong.
"You are not Yingchun, could it be that you are the debt collector that the old immortal raised?"
Fang Jianzhong didn't know who Yingchun was, but after understanding the second half of the sentence, he realized that the debt collector his mother was talking about was definitely him.
His heart sank, and he didn't want to communicate with her anymore, so he turned around, closed the door and left.
Before leaving, he locked the door so his mother couldn't get out.
It was raining heavily like this and there was nowhere else to go outside. Wang Dajuan looked so abnormal. Who would be responsible if she ran around and something happened to her?
Although Fang Jianzhong had a bad relationship with her, he had never intended to let anything happen to her.
Fang Jianzhong was puzzled by Wang Dajuan's sudden appearance, while in Dafang Village, Fang Wanghuo's family was extremely worried.
The three brothers, wearing straw raincoats, searched everywhere in the village, shouting, "Mom! Mom—where are you?"
Someone saw Fang Jianguo, stopped him, and asked, "Jianguo, what are you looking for?"
Fang Jianguo asked anxiously, "Uncle, have you seen my mom? You know, she was poisoned by mushrooms last time and her mind is clouded. Now I don't know where she's gone. It's going to rain heavily soon, and I'm worried that something might have happened to her."
"Your mother?" The villager who called him was stunned, then shook his head with a heavy expression, "I didn't see her. It looks like it's going to rain heavily today, so hurry up and look for her. Don't let anyone walk into the river."
Then he added, "I'll help you find it."
Fang Jianguo showed gratitude: "Thank you very much, uncle."
"Hey, we're all from the same village."
There was one more person in the village calling for help.
Dafang Village is only this big of an area, and soon the three brothers got together, looked at each other and shook their heads.
No one was found.
Fang Jianjun was anxious: "Where did Mom go? You guys too! Why don't you keep an eye on Mom?"
Fang Jianye: "Go look in the next few villages. If you can't find them, go home. It's going to rain heavily soon, and it's not safe outside."
The other two nodded: "You go to Zhoujiaqiao, and we will go to Xiaofang Village and Huajiawan."
The man went out to look for someone, and Hua Gaozhi, the only one who was not pregnant, went to find others for help.
Wang Dajuan disappeared. The whole village wore straw raincoats or held umbrellas and searched everywhere for her, but until the first drop of rain fell, no one was seen.
Someone said, "Will the man be swept away by the river?"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense!" someone beside him quickly reminded.
The three brothers were all in a bad mood. Although it was not advisable to say unlucky words, they couldn't see the person at the moment, so they might have been washed away by the water.
What made the brothers most sad was not that Wang Dajuan was washed away. What worried them most was that only Wang Dajuan knew where she hid the money.
If Wang Dajuan just disappeared, where would we find the money?
After all, at home, the brothers had actually searched secretly while their parents were away.
It's a pity that they found nothing. Wang Dajuan died. Even if they were lucky enough to find the money, it would take a long time.
As the rain got heavier, everyone went home.
The old man sighed as he looked at the rain. "Fortunately, we are at the foot of the mountain. The ground is high, so the water won't reach us. But I'm afraid other villages will be hit by a flood."
However, in this area, there is always a flood during the rainy season, the only difference is the size of the loss.
Judging from the situation this year, the loss will be considerable because it has been raining for more than a month.
The rainy season has come early, and there may be another drought in the second half of the year. However, seasonal droughts are usually not too serious.
Besides, the autumn harvest is in October, so even if there is a drought, the impact will not be significant.
Now all the wells in the village are full, and people can fetch water by simply placing their buckets on the well surface.
While others were either sighing or worried at the heavy rain, life was peaceful and tranquil in the Hua family.
Hua Yuanming and Hua Yuancheng took a few days off and did not go back with Fang Jianzhong. Now they are in their hometown and feel so comfortable.
Not only does each person have a spacious room, the wardrobe is filled with new clothes and shoes, and the toilet is flush, which is cleaner and more comfortable than a dry toilet.
The most important thing is that we have everything we want to eat at home, and the dishes on the table are quite rich.
They were somewhat flattered: "Grandma, Auntie, we are going home, not visiting guests. There is no need to prepare such delicious dishes just for us. Just eat something ordinary."
Wan Qingliu chuckled: "You're overthinking it. This is the food we usually eat at home. Besides, your sister is pregnant, can't she eat something good?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the two brothers immediately shut up and then felt a little aggrieved.
Why does it seem like my mother doesn't like them very much?
It’s obvious that grandma spoiled them a lot when they were young.
