After the villagers left, Ruan Meng took the crabs she had prepared for Xiao Kai that morning and went with her eldest brother to visit her second and third brothers.
Wow! My sister really cares about me!
The second brother looked at his eldest brother with eager eyes and added, "Big brother also cares about me!"
Ruan Meng chuckled to herself, "Second Brother's skill in balancing things is such a waste that he's not even a balance scale."
The third brother didn't have time to speak at all, just "Hmm! Hiss! Ha!"
He left the scallion, ginger, and crab for his eldest brother, but his brother said he was already full and actually left it for them. The third brother was so satisfied that he couldn't speak.
After they finished eating, the older brother left some mint water and said with concern, "You've worked so hard! Hang in there tonight, and it'll be finished by tomorrow!"
The third brother said casually, "It's alright, big brother! After you've eaten, I can stay sober all night!"
"If my sister makes me something nice to eat tomorrow morning, I can work all day again!"
What's so difficult about that?
Ruan Meng turned around and went back to get blankets for her brothers.
The next day, Ruan Meng woke up to the sound of rain.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law also quickly regained consciousness. The eldest brother went to deliver umbrellas to the second and third brothers, while the sister-in-law carried a stack of oil paper to prevent the blankets from getting wet.
Unexpectedly, the second and third sons came back together.
"Brother Feng and Second Brother Feng are keeping watch for us so we can come back and catch up on some sleep."
The second brother explained, "Brother Feng and Second Brother Feng got up at dawn to go up the mountain to cut down trees. There were enough trees to build the house today."
Who would have thought it would suddenly rain?
This was the heaviest rain the Nguyen family had experienced since arriving on the South Island.
The tide hadn't receded, and villagers, dressed in straw raincoats and hats, came to inquire whether they should continue building their houses...
The three brothers responded with a smile, telling them to wait at home until the rain stopped before watching.
The villagers were already emaciated; if they got caught in the rain and fell ill, things would be even worse.
Taking advantage of her free time, Ruan Meng, accompanied by her second brother, went to the Fan family to visit Duan Shi, helped her with acupuncture and gave her several doses of medicine, and the gloom between her brows faded a bit.
Upon seeing Ruan Meng, a slight smile appeared on his face, unlike his usual forced smile.
Before leaving, Ruan Meng reminded the Fan family to rest at home and wait until the rain stopped before going over.
Upon learning that Feng Yun and Feng Xi were helping to watch over the venue, while Ruan Yi and Ruan Zheng had been watching over it all night, Fan Zizhong and Fan Zili insisted on replacing Feng Yun and Feng Xi.
A muffled rumble of thunder echoed from the sky, making people irritable and restless.
Not long after Ruan Meng arrived home, Fan Zili ran over looking for her older brother, Ruan Qian.
"What is it?"
The elder brother invited the person in, and Fan Zili's face showed anxiety.
"My elder brother and I went to replace Brother Feng and Second Brother Feng, but just then, someone went to inform them..."
"When they saw us approaching, they were aggressive and prepared to head towards Wanjiacun."
"Luckily, my older brother reminded them to go back first and discuss it with the village chief. Who knew the village chief would set off with them..."
"I heard from the villagers that the village chief has a niece who married into Wanjia Village. Her parents are both dead, and the village chief raised her."
"Unfortunately, I heard her husband also died. Someone brought a message tonight..."
"I heard that the people of Wanjia Village forced the village chief's niece to marry his lame uncle, wanting to force her into marriage. When she refused, the entire village surrounded her, threatening to throw her into the sea if she didn't agree..."
"My elder brother thought about it and asked me to tell Brother Ruan. The village chief only sent three people, and my elder brother was worried that the village chief's family would suffer losses."
"Whether we send our own people or remind the villagers to help, Brother Ruan, please help us make a decision..."
Ruan Qian's eyes gradually turned cold after hearing this.
