Chapter 116: Rising Flood (Please vote for recommendation)
After all, she was still young, so she was a little angry. "Sister-in-law, that's not the way to say it. Brother Anwen is your cousin of Anze, but so are we."
There was still a hint of unwillingness in his tone, and he rushed forward.
"It's none of my business. If you have the guts, go find He Anze. I'm not stopping you." After saying that, Mei Xue straightened up. "I can give my things to whoever I want. What do you have to do with it?" I'll make you angry to death.
"Third Grandma." He Anmei was full of anger. She thought that Third Grandma would definitely be unhappy to hear this, so she acted coquettishly to her.
"It's none of my business." Grandma He was even more outrageous.
"Okay, okay, it doesn't matter to us whether your brother is divorced or not. I have things to do at home, so if you're fine, just leave." Grandma He couldn't bear it anymore. If she continued to talk, she was afraid Xiaoxue would take action.
He Anmei didn't expect that she would be kicked out after bringing such satisfying news.
"Third, Third Grandma." He Anmei became uneasy, her face flushed with shame.
"Let's go, let's go. Can't you see I have something to do at home?" Grandma He really disliked her niece coming more and more.
"You don't want me to send you out, so you don't want to leave?" Mei Xue laughed. If that was true, it would be fun.
He Anmei had heard about the strength of this sister-in-law a long time ago, so she really didn't dare to say, "No, I, I'll leave now."
After saying that, He Anmei turned around and left the He family courtyard. On the way back, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more aggrieved she felt. Before she knew it, she actually started crying.
Tears are free, but unfortunately, no one can see them.
After the people left, Grandma He sighed, "Hey, why is she so happy? She knows her family's financial situation. It will be good for her if her brother gets divorced." If it were her granddaughter, she would definitely slap her to death.
"She came here to take credit." Mei Xue said with certainty.
"What merits has she made? You are so stupid that you can't see clearly. As for her family, you will just wait and see. If He Anhua improves himself, it will be fine. If he doesn't, He Anmei will probably end up like Miss Li."
This is also a common occurrence in rural areas. The family is poor and has no money to afford the betrothal gift, so they can only exchange the bride for a daughter-in-law.
Although the conditions in Hejia Village are okay, there are still certain differences, and not every household lives a good life.
In the past, Grandma He's family had a hard time. Even though He Anze was working outside, Grandma He's life at home was much harder than it is now.
Good days only come after the arrival of plum and snow.
"Exchange marriage?" Mei Xue heard this for the first time: "What does it mean?"
"What else can it mean? Just marry her off, no matter how high the price is, and then use the money to help He Anhua find a wife."
Mei Xue finally understood, "Is it the same situation with An Wen's wife?" She thought that Li's parents were waiting for a good price.
"Of course. We don't know whether the girl is good or bad. She will be married before the New Year. We don't know whether the future will be peaceful or troublesome." Grandma He said with a worried look on her face.
The engagement only goes to the woman's side, and the woman does not need to come to the man's side. She will meet the man's relatives only when they get married.
Of course, there were also plans for both parties to hold an engagement party together, but since Anwen’s family didn’t have enough money, they just saved the money.
"This He Anmei has a crooked mind." Mei Xue said unhappily.
"If you don't like her, just don't deal with her. Okay, let's not talk about her anymore. It's annoying. There's not much left." After saying that, Grandma He quickened her work.
Fortunately, the villagers didn't know about He Anmei's behavior, otherwise they would really scold her. Everyone knows that the fuse of the divorce was He's third aunt, but she actually thanked the murderer. I don't know what's wrong with her brain.
Other people’s family affairs had nothing to do with Mei Xue and Grandma He. The chickens at home were growing rapidly, and the piglets were slowly becoming familiar with their own enclosure and starting to grow meat.
Life is prosperous and a bright future is beckoning them, so they have no time to care about others.
"San'anjian, are you going to the market?" When they were going down the mountain, everyone met each other. When Aunt Meilian saw them, she immediately asked.
Grandma He nodded and said, "Yes, the plum rain season is coming, and we have to prepare more things for the family. If there is a flood, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave the village." Grandma He said worriedly.
Everyone is aware of this matter. Aunt Meilian and Aunt Xilian are also worried about this matter. If the water level rises, they won't be able to sell the osmanthus cakes, and no business means no money.
"Yes, my sister-in-law and I are still talking about it. I hope the water level won't rise during the next big market." The next big market is five days apart.
There is a big market every five days, and every village depends on the market for their livelihood.
"It's hard to say, you'd better make preparations early." Grandma He shook her head.
The flood season is from mid-September to mid-October every year. There is nothing we can do about it. When there is too much rain, the water from the mountains can only flow down.
"Okay, let's not buy anything today." The two looked at each other and saw the disappointment in each other's eyes, and then Aunt Xilian spoke.
Her family's money is now really used twice as it is used.
"Yes, I agree." Aunt Meilian also agreed.
Many people in the village got on the horse-drawn carriages, and this time they still took He Zhengnan's carriage.
Thinking that there was nothing to do outside the village recently, Mei Xue and her grandmother bought a lot of things they needed and would not go out at least until the flood receded.
A whole day was spent on this.
When they returned, it was already late. There were too many people at noon, so Mei Xue and Grandma He didn't buy any buns. It would have been awkward to give them to anyone.
It would be better not to buy it. Besides, she didn't want to eat it. She and her grandmother had had lunch in town and were not hungry.
Time flies and it is Friday again. It rained heavily several times and the water in the creek has risen sharply.
Not only in Hejia Village, but many places have been flooded. The shortcuts are inaccessible. People who want to leave or return to the village can only book a road because many roads have been destroyed by water and cars cannot pass through.
An Liang and his friends grew up in the village since they were young, and they are not afraid at all when facing such situations.
They were all very happy. Starting from the entrance to the village, they began to go to the small path on the mountain.
It was dark when we got back to the village, and we spent all four or five hours on the journey.
The next day, An Liang and An Shan ran to the He family courtyard after breakfast.
After seeing the people in the yard, the two of them immediately called out, "Third Grandma."
Grandma He was feeding the chickens. When she heard the two people calling her, she straightened up and said, "You're back. Is the road easy?"
"It's easy to go. Grandma San, there's been a flood recently. Do you and sister-in-law need to take anything with you? I'll bring it back for you next time we come back." An Liang asked considerately.
"You, no need. We have everything we need at home. Before the flood, your sister-in-law and I went to the market and bought a lot of things. Now that autumn has begun, the temperature has dropped, and we don't have to worry about the things going bad."
Grandma He was very happy to hear them say such thoughtful words.
