Liu Qian glanced at Liang Su, and somehow, her heart began to lean towards Liang Su's words.
"Mom, let's listen to the captain and pack up and spend the night at someone else's house. We'll move back tomorrow when we're free."
Zhang Qiaoying shook her hand away with a frown on her face.
"I'm not listening to the captain, I'm listening to her! She's just a little girl, she doesn't know shit. Why should I do whatever she says? First, explain to me why you two are together!"
She was talking about Shen Congji and Liang Su.
Liang Su patiently explained: "I guessed that the rain would not stop tonight and there might be a flood, so I went to find Comrade Shen to find a solution."
"Bah! Captain, you're just letting us listen to a little girl's guesses? You weren't this senile before. Could it be that she's so pretty that your eyesight is blurring?"
Liu Guohua was so angry that his face turned red and he snorted loudly.
"Okay, I don't care about your family's affairs anymore! It's up to you, whether you want to leave or not, I don't care! But I'm saying this, if you really get drowned, there will be no one to help you, don't expect me to bring anyone to rescue you!"
After saying this, he waved his hand and asked Shen Congji and Liang Su to follow him and leave.
It was precisely because of his words that the others began to waver and went home to pack their things.
Only Zhang Qiaoying was stubborn.
"I won't leave. I want to see how Liang Su will explain to everyone if there is no flood tomorrow."
Liu Qian was speechless. Even if there was no flood, what would Liang Su want to explain?
She kindly reminded everyone in the heavy rain, and everyone was grateful to her. It was just a matter of staying somewhere else for one night, and there was no loss. Who would be so idle as to cause trouble for Liang Su?
On the other side, Shen Congji brought Liang Su back home.
Shen Limei brought two bowls of brown sugar ginger tea, Shen Congji took a sip and frowned.
So sweet.
Shen Limei said angrily: "It was not meant for you to drink."
She glanced at Liang Su and found that her clothes were all wet, so she hurriedly said, "Xiao Su, if you don't mind, wear my clothes."
Liang Su originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she was still worried and wanted to observe the condition of the river.
"Okay, thank you for your help, Auntie. I'll stay here until dawn. I'll go over and see if the river has risen."
Shen Limei was stunned, what a silly child.
After all, what does this matter have to do with her? She is just an educated youth who has just arrived here and is doing a thankless job.
"Are you hungry? Let me make you something to eat."
Liang Su shook her head and said, "No, Auntie, go and have a rest."
They didn't plan to sleep, so how could Shen Limei sleep? She had no choice but to stay up with them.
Every half an hour, Shen Congji and Liang Su went to the river.
Every time I go there, I can see the water level rising a lot.
"The water is clearly coming up."
If Liang Su had not dreamed of that scene, who would come out to see it in the middle of the night? The river water came up silently and could take a person's life in his sleep.
By three o'clock, the river water had risen to the doorstep of Zhang Qiaoying's house.
Shen Congji knocked on the door again and woke up Zhang Qiaoying and her family.
Liu Qian took a look and exclaimed, "Mom, the river water has reached our doorstep!"
Zhang Qiaoying and Liu Chengyun came out and looked at each other.
But Liang Su was here, and Zhang Qiaoying didn't want to admit she was wrong, so she said stubbornly, "It only went this far at most. How could it flood our house? Why are you making such a fuss?"
Liu Chengyun said: "Let's go stay at someone else's house for one night."
Liang Su reminded from the side: "It's better to pack up your things."
"What are you packing up? What's there to pack up?" Zhang Qiaoying rolled her eyes.
In the end, she just took the passbook with her and walked out with her son and daughter.
"Aji, I have nowhere to go, so I have no choice but to stay at your house."
Shen Congji nodded slightly, “Aunt Qiaoying, my mother has already cleaned up the room for you.”
Zhang Qiaoying smiled with satisfaction, "Your mother is so thoughtful."
When the group arrived at Shen Congji's house, Shen Limei quickly invited them into the house.
Zhang Qiaoying glanced at Liang Su and said, "Liang Zhiqing, aren't you going to go home yet? It's so late, and you're still in a strange man's house. It's not a good idea."
Liu Qian felt ashamed and pulled her arm.
"Mom, why are you talking like that? People are kindly reminding us about the flood."
Zhang Qiaoying knocked her head hard and said, "Be more careful!"
If you continue to be stupid, your fiancé will be snatched away by someone else.
Liang Su retracted the leg that had already stepped forward and nodded politely.
"Aunt Qiaoying is right. I have to go back. Aunt Limei, I'll go home now. You guys have a good rest."
Shen Limei hurriedly said: "Auntie made some midnight snacks, you can stay and eat some. You must be hungry after running around all night."
"No, I'm not hungry. You guys eat, I'll go back first."
Zhang Qiaoying's family and Shen Limei's family are in-laws, so they can be considered relatives. It wouldn't be appropriate for an outsider like me to be here.
Liang Su picked up the clothes he had changed and walked out.
The heavy rain continued to fall as if tirelessly.
When Liang Su got home, he realized that the roof was leaking and there was a puddle of water on the bed.
After a night of running around, she was exhausted.
Having to face all this when I got home, I almost had a mental breakdown.
She took the basin and put it on the bed tiredly, and water dripped into the basin.
Liang Su changed into dry clothes and huddled in a corner where he wouldn't get wet.
I just dozed off like that.
Although it was an uncomfortable sleep, it was still much more comfortable than being outside in the rain.
I slept intermittently until dawn.
When Liang Su woke up, the sky outside had cleared up and a ray of sunlight could be seen shining through the clouds.
Liang Su got up and washed, feeling exhausted.
The basin was full of rainwater, which she took to the patio to pour out, and then she took out the wet mattress and quilt to dry.
The mosquito net was not needed and dried quickly.
It was this roof that made Liang Su feel troubled.
Shen Limei was worried about her and ran over to see Liang Su early.
As soon as I came in, I found her hanging the quilt.
"Xiao Su, is the roof leaking?"
Liang Su smiled bitterly, "Yes, it leaked all night last night, so I took it out to dry."
Shen Limei couldn't help but patted her arm, "Why are you so stubborn, kid? Since you can't sleep in the bed, just come to your aunt's house and stay for one night. It's not a big deal. Why are you being so stubborn?"
Liang Su smiled and said, "It's okay, just let it dry."
She can't always think of bothering others with everything, otherwise she will never learn to be independent.
Shen Limei didn’t know what to say, she just felt sorry for Liang Su.
Seeing Liang Su now is like seeing Shen Congji who resolutely signed up to join the army back then.
For the sake of his mother, he was forced to become strong and rush forward desperately, just to make himself stand tall enough to protect his frail mother.
"You kid... I'll go get Aji to fix your roof."
