"Humph, you don't need to waste time on them, second brother, just drag the cow away!"
The old lady directly asked her sons to work. She has always been strong-willed, and there are many people in her family, so she directly pulled the cow away.
The woman was so angry that she kept cursing and swearing behind the men. She tried to go up and make a scene but was stopped by several men.
"What's the difference between you and bandits? You actually robbed them directly. Do you still have the law?"
"Bah, stop yelling. If you have the guts, go report it to the authorities and see what they say. Besides, everyone is busy with disaster relief right now. No one from the court has been seen. Who has time to care about these things?"
This sounds reasonable, but in fact it is arrogant and too unreasonable.
But now the dead cow has been taken away, and the other party is quite strong. They took it away as they said and warned them viciously.
The villagers who were watching on the side also advised the woman's family to let it go. After all, the cow belonged to them, even if it was dead.
"Just stop here. It's said that the dead cow cannot be eaten, but you insisted on snatching it to eat. What if you get sick from eating it?"
"That's right. We should go home and check on the condition of our house. If it is damaged, we need to rebuild it."
After hearing what everyone said, the woman's face looked extremely ugly. Her lips trembled twice but she didn't say anything. It was obvious that she was very angry.
"You are talking nonsense without knowing the facts. Who said that dead cows cannot be eaten? It is obvious that their family is too overbearing and deliberately makes things difficult for us. I will record this account here for now. I will definitely ask them to pay it back in the future, humph."
After hearing what she said, the villagers stopped talking.
All the nice things had been said, so there was no need to say more. They all meant well, but the other party not only did not appreciate it, but gave them a cold shoulder.
Since that's the case, they just ignore it.
We have all experienced firsthand how devastating this flood is, and the price paid for it is too high.
Especially the Qiao family and the Lin family, because they were built on a low ground, their houses were washed away by the flood, and now they have no place to live.
The two families looked at the empty land without even a frame and cried until they were hoarse, their faces somewhat gloomy. Now they didn't even have a place to hide, how would they live in the future?
Jiang Xueying originally wanted to send something to the Qiao family, but she couldn't help but sigh when she saw the Qiao family go through such a disaster. No one can avoid this natural disaster and they can only accept their fate.
"Sister Qiao, if you don't mind, you can come live in my house. Although my house is a little damaged, it's basically fine. You can move in first and take it easy. Otherwise, how can you survive in this cold weather? But fortunately, everyone is fine, and life will get better in the future."
After hearing this, the two families, who were originally a little depressed, felt their burdens lightened a lot and thanked her one after another. After all, the flood had dealt a nearly devastating blow to the village. Now it was February and it was cold, how could they survive without a shelter?
"Thank you, ma'am. If you hadn't taken us to the mountains for shelter, we would have lost our lives. Now you're taking us in even though we've lost our homes. We really... we really can't repay you enough."
"Yes, this time it's all thanks to you, Sister Jiang. You don't have to take what others say to heart. We all know who is right and who is wrong. This... I really have to thank you."
Jiang Xueying chuckled. She naturally didn’t take the villagers’ words to heart. If she took everything to heart, how could she survive?
"I naturally don't take those things to heart. Let's pack up quickly. All the things in the house that were soaked by the flood need to be fumigated with mugwort. Let's pack up before it gets dark so that we can live there at night."
The others nodded. Now was not the time to shirk responsibility. The truth was to get through the current crisis first.
Most of the villagers believed in Jiang Xueying's family, so they used mugwort to fumigate the house before moving in. They did not eat the food or dead livestock in the house, and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
For a moment, the whole village was filled with the fragrance of mugwort.
At this point, Jiang Xueying felt a little relieved. After all, what she said was true. She was just afraid of any accidents. Now everyone in a village is in the same boat. If anything happens to anyone, it will affect the entire village.
She also knew that most of the villagers' food was inedible like hers, as it was all flooded by the flood. So she took out some food from the space while everyone was busy. Fortunately, her space could be regenerated infinitely, otherwise she would not be able to think of a way to get so much food in a short time.
"I just searched for a while and suddenly remembered that I hid some food in a high place. I haven't had time to store it yet. I'll send it to you later. It can provide temporary relief. These things are clean after all."
The villagers were all moved when they heard this, even those who had been jealous of her before were touched and felt a little guilty at the same time.
If Jiang Xueying had not repeatedly persuaded them to take refuge in the mountains, they would have been washed away by the flood like these houses. How could they still be alive to consider these things?
Therefore, many people put aside their prejudices and expressed their willingness to help. Only when people are in difficult situations can they experience the true feelings of the world.
There is strength in numbers, and the meal was ready in no time.
The villagers ate delicious meals, some of them even had a hot meal for the first time in so many days. Their eyes were red. This flood made them realize that everything is fake, and only those who can share weal and woe are real. Only by working together can we overcome the difficulties.
The village chief, who was originally worried that the villagers had nothing to eat, was touched when he saw that everyone was eating and learned that the food was provided by Jiang Xueying.
The daughter-in-law of the Ye family is really amazing. She has helped the village a lot. If it weren’t for her, a lot of people would have died in the village this time, and the entire village might have been wiped out. God is really merciful!
Three days passed like this, and everyone in the village was repairing their houses.
At the same time, epidemics broke out in the village one after another.
At first, no one paid attention to it. When they heard that someone was sick, they just thought it was a common illness. However, patients with the same symptoms appeared one after another in the village, which aroused everyone's vigilance.
"Oh my god, I've seen several cases. Either they were vomiting and had a fever, or they were foaming at the mouth. It was so miserable."
"What disease is this? Did Doctor Li tell you?"
"Oh, Doctor Li has examined them, but he couldn't determine what the disease was. Although he prescribed medicine for them, there is still no improvement."
Hearing these discussions, Jiang Xueying's heart tightened. From their description, this was not an ordinary illness, so she had to go over and take a look.
After saying goodbye to the two little ones, she asked Qiao to look after the house and then left in a hurry.
