Xiaolan's two daughters were afraid that their mother would be scolded again, so they hurried over to help push the cart.
Only Qin Wanru was crying and wiping her tears, "My arm is twisted, it hurts so much."
At this critical moment, Wang Yongchang was in no mood to coax her and scolded her, "You're crying! Shut up!"
Qin Wanru was stunned by the scolding. She felt very aggrieved. She married Wang Yongchang as a step down from her husband, and he treated her like this.
...
After their rescue efforts and with the help of the villagers, they managed to save most of the food.
But the flour had dissolved in the mud and couldn't be fished out.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and there is no sign of any danger if we go any further.
But there is no village in front and no shop behind, and there is no place to shelter from the rain.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Wang Tiedan, who had gone to explore the way ahead, came back on horseback.
He wiped his face and said, "Village chief, there is a village one mile to the north."
"The village..."
Recalling the time when they had to escape from the bandits, everyone was still frightened.
"Tiedan, is there anyone in the village?"
"No, half of the village has collapsed. Not only are there no people, there's not even a dog left."
The village chief was relieved when he heard this and immediately organized the villagers to rush there.
Su Man and her friends abandoned their cart and traveled light, but Wang Laowu's family was not so lucky.
They had so much stuff that the wheels got stuck in the mud and they couldn't move the cart.
In the end, it was the village chief who organized everyone to help, and it took a lot of effort to get it into the village.
The village looked like it had been in ruins for a long time. Many houses had collapsed, and the roofs of the surviving houses almost all had leaks, with rainwater flowing in through the holes.
But compared to just now, they are already very content to have such a place.
The roof of Su Man and Grandma Zhou's house was also leaking. Du Yuan was diligent and climbed up on the roof to make a simple repair. At least it didn't leak like water was pouring out, and only a trickle of water was left.
There was no firewood here and we couldn't start a fire, so everyone changed their wet clothes first, and when they wrung them out, water all over the floor.
The family lived on a brick bed, which was cold without a fire. Their bags were soaked and they had nothing to lie on, so they didn't dare lie down easily.
Su Man walked around the house and found several quilts with missing cotton in the cabinet.
Although it is a little broken, it is still usable.
We spread the quilt on the kang and huddled together, feeling a lot warmer than before.
Du Yuan nailed up the leaky windows, split open a box in the room, and heated up the earthen kang.
"Du Yuan, stop busying yourself and come up to warm up." Su Man called out.
"this..."
Du Yuan saw that the women on the kang were a little hesitant.
Su Man was helpless. "It's already this late. Don't worry about those empty formalities. It would be terrible if you get sick from the cold."
"My benefactor is right, and I am offended."
Du Yuan sat next to Zhao Yuru. Zhao Yuru touched his cold hands and immediately rubbed them with her own hands.
Zhou Pingping and Zhou Anan both laughed secretly, and even Su Man started laughing.
It was raining heavily outside, and they huddled together on the kang, waiting for the hard-earned warmth.
