Chapter 347 A Blessing in Disguise

In a blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Many people had their own plans on this day, but unfortunately they were disrupted by a heavy rain.

Lord Qin could only stay in the government office, and the Li people could only return to their old clan land temporarily.

The villagers living at the foot of the mountain no longer go out to sea to fish. Instead, they stay at home either mending fishing nets or processing coconuts to make coconut milk.

Most people live quite comfortably, except Lian Jinshan.

You have to know that he had just started renovating his house, and instead of repairing the wall, he even demolished a room.

It was raining heavily outside and drizzling inside his house. The dry ground quickly became wet and slippery with just a step.

Lian Jinshan was curled up on the bed with a tattered hat on his head, without food or water, looking very pitiful.

The stove room in his house had been demolished, and there was a simple stove hole built with bricks in the yard. He originally wanted to use that for a few days.

As a result, the heavy rain came so quickly that he hadn't even bought any food yet, so now he could only endure it.

I hope the heavy rain will stop soon.

Unfortunately, Lian Jinshan’s expectations were soon dashed.

Because the heavy rain not only did not stop, but it was getting heavier. He didn't react until a strong wind started to blow.

It’s a typhoon from heaven!

This is really fatal.

If he couldn't stand the heavy rain, he could still go out to ask for help, but he couldn't get out at all during a typhoon!

This time Lian Jinshan didn't care about his face anymore, he quickly got out of bed, pried open the brick where he hid the money and took out some silver.

The wind today is not too strong, just enough to make you blind if you go out.

Seriously, it really hurts when the rain, blown by the strong wind, hits your face.

This is especially true since the eyes are so fragile.

Lian Jinshan had just stepped out of the door when his hat was blown over and almost strangled his neck. The strong wind mixed with heavy rain soaked him like a drowned chicken.

He walked to the next door entirely by feeling.

"Uncle He!"

Lian Jinshan didn't dare to call Ah Cui's name, but called Ah Cui's father directly. He called more than ten times but no one came to open the door.

He had no choice but to continue shouting.

Since he had come out, he had to buy food before going back. Otherwise, if the typhoon got even stronger in the next few days, he wouldn't be able to go out at all and would starve to death.

In the past, he would have died if his life was boring, but now he has so much money and wants to marry A Cui, he doesn't want to die at all.

"Uncle He!"

Lian Jinshan kept shouting at the door, but the family of three in the room didn't hear him at first.

The wind and rain were so loud that the doors and windows of the house were banging. Add to that the sound of the family talking, and you really can't hear anything moving outside if you're not paying attention.

"Boss, is there someone calling you outside?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Cui seemed to remember something and immediately stood up and walked to the door of the main room. After listening carefully, she became anxious.

"Dad and Mom, I heard Jinshan knocking on the door!"

Old Man He frowned and was not in a good mood.

He looked down on Lian Jinshan and of course didn't want to have anything to do with him.

In fact, when the couple next door passed away one after another, he felt very sympathetic towards Lian Jinshan. Not only did he help with the funeral arrangements, he also asked his wife and daughter to cook for him on a regular basis.

It must be hard for someone to feel good when he just lost his parents, so he needs to calm down.

Who would have thought that this delay would last for so many years?

Who would look down on a young man who is capable of working and earning money but just lies at home every day, waiting for food and drink?

"Most likely they come to ask for food."

Old Man He sighed and stood up.

A typhoon is coming. If we don’t lend a hand, are we going to just watch people starve to death while trapped in their homes?

“I’ll go…”

Before he could finish his words, he saw his daughter had already taken off her straw raincoat and straw hat and put them on.

"Dad, I'd better go. You guys are not in good health. It would be bad if you get sick after being caught in the rain."

Ah Cui tied on her hat, half lowered her head, opened the door and went to open the door for Lian Jinshan in the wind and rain.

The two of them just exchanged glances and before they could start talking, they heard a loud bang.

Lian Jinshan's house next door has collapsed...

Lian Jinshan: “!!!”

He knew his house needed repairing, but he never imagined it was in such a state of disrepair.

It just rained for a few days and it collapsed!

He stared at the ruins with a dazed look in his eyes.

What now?

Ah Cui didn't hesitate much. She reached out and grabbed Lian Jinshan's sleeve and pulled him into the yard and closed the door.

"Come with me into the house first."

A loud shout brought Lian Jinshan back to his senses. His eyes fell on his sleeve which was still being pulled by A Cui, and the pain in his heart didn't seem to be so severe anymore.

The old couple in the room saw this through the crack in the door and opened the door despite being reluctant.

There were two stoves in the main room at this time. Perhaps because of the fire, the room was relatively dry. The two of them felt a warmth as soon as they came in.

"Tsui'er, go change your clothes quickly."

A Cui responded and turned back to look at her father.

Old Man He rolled his eyes, dragged Lian Jinshan to their house, and found a set of his old clothes for him to change into.

"Uncle He, I'm really sorry to bother you."

Hearing this, Old Man He looked up at Lian Jinshan in surprise.

This kid used to act as if it was a matter of course whether he was given food or drink. It's really strange that he has ever thanked someone so seriously.

"We are all neighbors, there is no need to worry about anything. Hurry up and change your clothes."

Old Man He had no interest in watching people change clothes, so he turned around and left the bedroom.

Now the house is managed by his daughters, and there is nothing in his and his wife's bedroom except the bed and clothes. He is not worried at all.

At this time, A Cui had already returned to her room and changed her clothes, but her hair was still wet and it was not convenient to comb it in front of outsiders, so she took a clean old piece of clothing and wrapped it on her head to let it absorb the water.

The old couple looked at each other, then at their daughter, and shook their heads helplessly.

Now is not a good time to talk. Let’s wait until Lian Jinshan leaves.

"Dad and Mom, when I went out to open the door just now, I saw that the house next door had collapsed. It's uninhabitable in that state."

“It collapsed!!”

Then shouldn't Lian Jinshan stay at home?

Old Man He's brows were so wrinkled that they could pinch a fly to death.

If the villagers knew about this, I don’t know what would be said about my daughter.

But he couldn't kick Lian Jinshan out of the house when the typhoon hit.

What a headache.

Even Jinshan thought of this when he came out.

Regardless of whether her parents were there with her, the fact was that she had spent a few days with A Cui, which was detrimental to her reputation.

cough……

Doesn't this give him an opportunity?

Lian Jinshan pretended not to see the worry on Uncle He's face. He sat down next to him and took out some silver to buy food from him.

The first thing he did was to pay with money, which immediately brought up the fact that he made money from coconut oil.

When Old Man He heard that Lian Jinshan actually earned more than twenty taels of silver, the look in his eyes when he looked at him suddenly softened a lot.

No matter what he was like before, as long as he can make money and is motivated, he is a good young man!
