Old man Shen remained silent, looking at the flooded land, and pursed his lips uncomfortably.
This is a natural disaster, what can they do?
"You ask me how I know? Just ask God!" Old Man Shen handed Fubao to Old Lady Shen, then rolled up his trousers and went down to the field. The water in the field was up to his calves. Old Man Shen picked up the seedlings floating on the water with great distress, thinking that if he could save every seedling he could, he would.
Old Mrs. Shen held Fubao in her arms, her eyes becoming increasingly red, and she sighed deeply, "It has been many years since we have had such a heavy rainstorm. I thought it would never happen again, but who would have thought it would happen again? It's truly a natural disaster!"
Fubao also felt bad.
Yes, it was a natural disaster.
The God of Thunder and the Goddess of Lightning are too merciless. If I return to heaven, I will have to confront them.
Isn't it good to let the world have good weather and good harvests? Why do we have to make heavy rain and hail? What will happen to the villagers who depend on the weather for their livelihood?
The whole village was severely damaged by the heavy rain and hail, and not a single acre of land was spared. Fortunately, even though the back hill landslide occurred, no villagers were injured or killed, but the house was severely damaged.
Especially the Shen family, because it was a mud-walled house, the wall collapsed, the windows were broken, there was severe leakage, and the whole house was full of water. How could people live there?
Old Man and Old Lady Shen were worried, but life had to go on. They had no choice but to go back and clean up the accumulated water in the house.
Old Mrs. Shen moved a stool for Fubao to sit in the yard, and then gave her a cooked corn cob and an egg. "Nannan, eat here. Come in after grandpa and grandma clean up the house."
"Grandma, I want to help too!"
"No, it's too dirty. Nannan is still young and can't do this job. Just sit here and eat your meal." Old Mrs. Shen doted on her granddaughter and didn't want her to work, so she walked into the house after saying that.
After walking a few steps, Li Chunhua's sarcastic voice came from next door, "Oh my, your daughter is really precious. What has this house and yard been messed up, and you don't let her help with the work. Can you two old bones do it? I say, girls can't be spoiled too much. If they can't do any work, they really won't be able to get married in the future. I'm not kidding you!"
"Li Chunhua, you are such a bad mouth, aren't you? What's it to you to care about what's happening to my daughter? So what if she can't get married? She has her grandparents, parents, and four brothers to take care of her. What is she afraid of?" Old Mrs. Shen could not tolerate anyone talking about Fubao, and she immediately started arguing with Li Chunhua.
Li Chunhua seemed to have heard something incredible and ridiculous, "What? Aren't you afraid of not being able to get married? You old hag, you are being stubborn now and pampering this girl. If she really can't get married in the future, you will be worried!"
Fubao pouted, then said in a baby voice, "Aunt Li, I will be able to get married, don't worry!"
"Oh, you girl are still so arrogant. Let me tell you again, a woman who can't work can't find a husband!" Li Chunhua said with contempt.
She was exploited by her parents' family since she was a child. She had two older brothers and she was the youngest. However, because she was a maid, she became the least favored and had to work all day long.
Over time, her mind became twisted, so she couldn't stand seeing Fubao being spoiled every day, being the treasure of the whole family, and not having to do anything. She would not be satisfied until Fubao was also oppressed and bullied like she was when she was a child!
