Liang Su quickly said, "No need, auntie. I'll talk to Auntie Zhong later and ask her to find someone for me."
Shen Limei knew that she was doing this to avoid suspicion.
But how can there be so many things to avoid?
When she thought of Zhang Qiaoying's attitude, she became angry, as if there was an affair between Shen Congji and Liang Su.
"We're all from the same village. You help me, I help you. We've all been through this, so why shouldn't it be the case for you? Wait, I'll go home and call Aji for you."
Liang Su couldn't stop her, Shen Limei had already walked away quickly.
When I got home, Zhang Qiaoying and her family were still having breakfast.
Only Liu Qian asked, "Aunt, how is Liang Zhiqing?"
"Xiao Su's roof is leaking. Aji, come over and help fix it."
Zhang Qiaoying immediately became dissatisfied: "Her roof is leaking, why should she let Aji take care of it?"
Liang Su and Shen Limei had anticipated her reaction.
Shen Limei was impatient and asked back, "Aji can't go, why don't you come?"
Zhang Qiaoying was stunned. "How can I repair a roof?"
"Since you can't do it and won't let Aji go, do you want me to go? You're already an old man, can you please stop thinking so much?"
Shen Limei is usually gentle, but she suddenly scolded someone, which surprised Zhang Qiaoying.
She didn't say anything, why was she so angry today?
"Aji, go with mom."
Shen Congji hummed, picked up the ladder and went out.
After watching the two disappear through the door, Zhang Qiaoying dared to complain, "Could it be that Li Mei is having second thoughts about Liang Zhiqing because he's so good-looking?"
Liu Qian said impatiently, "Mom, can you please stop thinking the worst of people? Liang Zhiqing didn't hire you. I think she's a good person."
"Bullshit, you're just like your dad, brainless." Zhang Qiaoying pushed her head hard.
After a pause, she said, "You go too!"
Liu Qian was about to say "I don't want it" when she heard Liu Guohua's voice from outside: "Chengyun, go over and take a look, your house has been flooded!"
Zhang Qiaoying was so frightened that she couldn't hold the bowl steadily and ran out in a hurry.
"Captain, what did you say?"
Liu Guohua said angrily, "I told you not to listen, and your house collapsed, everything is gone! I thought you were all inside, but when I asked, I found out that it was Aji who took your family home. Luckily, no one is safe!"
It’s really strange. The houses of the families Liang Su mentioned yesterday were all damaged.
He felt fortunate that he, as the captain, had done his job well.
Zhang Qiaoying's legs went limp and she collapsed to the ground with her eyes blank.
Until Liu Qian came over to help her, "Mom, let's go back and take a look."
Zhang Qiaoying came to her senses when she heard her voice and ran out crying.
"My house! The house is gone! The money is gone!"
Although I carried the passbook with me, the money that was not in the passbook was still at home.
The pots, pans, and utensils in the house, as well as the food and eggs, all of them cost money.
On the other side, Shen Limei came back with Shen Congji.
Liang Su was kneading dough. There was still some flour left from the flour she bought yesterday, and she planned to make some thin noodles to mix with the dough.
This is a local specialty. Just add some fried garlic, soy sauce, lard, a little salt and chopped green onions, and mix them together.
Although simple, it is very fragrant.
Seeing Shen Limei and Shen Congji coming over, she asked casually: “Aunt Limei, have you eaten? Do you want a bowl of noodles?”
Shen Limei didn't bother to be polite with her, and said with a smile: "Okay, then we'll do it after we finish eating."
Liang Su then mixed a bowl for them and added some lotus root soup left over from last night.
Shen Limei took a bite and said, "This is better than what the restaurant makes. You can open a shop."
Liang Su smiled and said, "There are too many breakfast shops here, and the competition is too fierce."
Although she thought about what she could do to make money in the future, she ruled out the catering industry first.
She is not used to staying in the kitchen all day long.
After finishing the noodles, Liang Su wanted to clean up the dishes and wash them, but unexpectedly, Shen Congji was one step ahead of her and took the initiative to clean up.
Shen Limei said: “Let him go, you cook and he washes the dishes, this is fair.”
Liang Su nodded, and suddenly heard a burst of crying.
It was Zhang Qiaoying's voice.
Liang Su looked outside and heard Zhang Qiaoyan crying and shouting that her home was gone.
She guessed that they must have discovered that their house had been flooded.
"Aunt Limei, do you want to go over and take a look?"
Shen Limei nodded, "Aji, fix the roof, I'll go over and take a look."
After all, they are fellow villagers, so she has to go and see them.
After Shen Congji washed the dishes, he took the ladder and climbed onto the roof with swift movements, which made Liang Su nervous.
"Be careful."
Shen Congji chuckled, "Comrade Liang, the dangers I've experienced are ten times or even a hundred times greater than what we're experiencing now."
Liang Su curled her lips and ignored him, sitting on a low stool and watching him pick up tiles.
Not long after, Liu Qian came over with tears still on her face.
Liang Su asked softly, "How is your family?"
Liu Qian smiled bitterly. "The foundations of the houses in the village weren't deep enough, so they were washed away by the flood. Others were fine. Their houses were gone, but their valuables, like food, were taken out. As for my family..."
Even though she felt bad, she still wanted to say that he deserved it.
The house collapsed, not to mention the barn inside.
The food that was just distributed in the middle of this year is gone just like that.
"Were there no chances of rescuing some?"
Liu Qian gestured at her own height and said, "The water is almost up to me. It's so deep and murky. Few people dare to go down. At most, they bring up some pots and pans."
As for the grain, it was all flooded in the barn.
Fortunately, the passbook is still there, and the bulk of the family’s income is in my hands.
"I might have to stay at my aunt's house during this period."
She felt uncomfortable at the thought of living under the same roof with Shen Congji.
Zhang Qiaoying would definitely try her best to bring her and Shen Congji together. The thought of this made her feel overwhelmed.
Liang Su didn't know how to comfort her, and it seemed like anything he said would be redundant.
"Even if you spend a fortune, you'll get it back. Just consider it a way to ward off disaster. It's a blessing that no one is hurt. I still have some food here. You can take some back."
Liu Qian was flattered. Zhang Qiaoying was not very nice to Liang Su, but she was still willing to donate generously.
She smiled bitterly and suddenly couldn't help but touch Liang Su's head.
Seeing her stunned expression, he smiled.
"You are so stupid. You will be bullied if you do this."
Liang Su restrained his expression and said, "No one can bully me."
She is not even afraid of Lin Wensheng and Lin Yuelong.
Obviously, Liu Qian didn't take her words to heart.
"You're the easiest to bully."
She is good-looking and speaks softly, and everyone who sees her would want to bully her.
Liang Su didn't argue with her because the folks here were all very nice and she just treated everyone the same.
"Okay, I'm going back. I don't need the food anymore. I'll come to your place for a meal when I'm really hungry." Liu Qian winked at her.
