Zhang Dajiang glared at him fiercely and said to the village head, "Dad, don't worry about him! Uncle Hunchback's house has collapsed. What will they live in when they come back?"
Zhao Luoguo's family originally had five rooms, but because of their age, they all collapsed after a rain, leaving not a single decent room behind.
The village head thought for a moment and said, "There is an abandoned house at the foot of the north slope. If we clean it up, people can live there. In the current situation, we can only make do with it."
There was no better place than the abandoned house. Every household in the village had women, and they couldn't stay in other people's homes. Given the circumstances, they had no choice but to make do.
The village head looked worriedly towards the village entrance, hoping that Zhao Luoguo and Erlaizi's wife would not lose their lives.
Zhao Luoguo is a man with a tragic fate. If he dies, only Zhao Datou will be left. If he survives, the father and son can depend on each other for survival.
Erlaizi's wife is even more unfortunate. If she were to die because of someone like Erlaizi, how would her three daughters survive?
Upon hearing this, Erlaizi immediately complained, "Uncle Village Head, my house has also collapsed, why don't you say you'll make arrangements for me?"
I dare not live in this house. If it rains again, I'll be doomed!
Wei Lanfen spat, "He doesn't care about his wife and children, he only cares about himself! It's better if he's dead, he's just a nuisance to others if he's alive!"
Cui Miao pulled the three girls over and glared at them, "Your house isn't completely collapsed, there's still one room left, why can't people live there?"
What are you supposed to be assigned? You can live on your own! You deserve to be killed if you get smashed!
I wonder if Qiufen can pull through? The three girls are the ones who suffer the most; how will they survive in the future?
If we kill Erlaizi, it will be a relief!
Erlaizi opened his mouth but swallowed his words back. He wasn't stupid; he knew that what he had done today had angered everyone, and if he said anything more, he might get beaten up again.
The village head gave him a sharp look, and Er Laizi shrank back, "I won't say anything more, I won't say anything more. I'll live in this house, but these three brats have nowhere to live..."
That's true. Two rooms of the house collapsed, and the remaining one is also in danger. If a villain like Erlaizi smashed it, he would have killed him. The three children are pitiful, and we can't take that kind of risk.
The village head was also worried. What if Erlaizi's wife came back at night? Where would the mother and her four children go to stay?
There were no more dilapidated houses to stay in in the village, and it wasn't really appropriate to stay in someone else's house.
Most people are so cramped that they can barely sleep in one room; where would they find an extra room?
Just as Cheng Yue was about to speak, Wei Lanfen pulled her aside and took over the matter, saying, "Uncle Village Head, just come to my house, we'll make room for you!"
Their house and Erlaizi's house were in adjacent houses, close to each other. They had been neighbors for so many years, so when someone got into trouble, they wanted to help if they could.
Although Erlaizi is a scoundrel, his wife Qiufen is a good person, and their three daughters are sensible and often play with Xiaohua.
Her family has three rooms: one for her parents-in-law, one for her husband, his younger brother and three sons, and one for her, Qiufen and her children. They'll just put up some wooden planks to make do.
Zhao Laohei and Xu Guoshi supported their daughter-in-law's decision. "The eldest daughter-in-law is right. Let's go to my house. The two families live close by, and it will be convenient for the third child to go home and do something."
Although two rooms of the house collapsed, the yard is still in good condition. The vegetable garden and chicken coop still need to be taken care of, so living nearby makes everything convenient.
The village head nodded with satisfaction, "Brother Lao Hei, Sister-in-law Guo, thank you for your help!"
After saying that, he stared at Erlaizi and said, "You hand over the money! Your wife and children are yours, and others aren't supporting you for nothing!"
Er Laizi was so angry that his face turned into a toad's, but the Zhao family members all stared at him coldly, so he had no choice but to take out a few dozen coins and hand them over.
This was all his savings. He had been planning to gamble that night, but then the house collapsed, and he couldn't leave!
After resolving this matter, the village head called out to the others, "Dajiang, you young men go over to the north slope and tidy up the house so that your hunchbacked uncle can move in as soon as he returns!"
It's still raining, though not heavily, so it's not good to do anything. The collapsed houses can only be left standing for now, and we'll deal with them when the weather clears up. Right now, the most important thing is to find people to live in them.
Zhang Dajiang and his group of men responded and waded through the puddles to the north slope.
The village head shouted, "Everyone, go home now! Don't forget to drink some ginger soup to warm yourselves up after getting soaked in the rain!"
Everyone was upset after what happened, hoping that the person could survive, and they all went home with their own worries.
Cheng Yue went to Wei Lanfen's house and asked Chen Lin to go home and get a few sets of Chen Tong and Chen Ning's old clothes.
The three sisters were covered in mud and their clothes were unwearable; if they didn't change quickly, they might get sick.
Guo boiled water and had them wash themselves, change their clothes, and drink a bowl of ginger soup before she felt at ease.
The three sisters thanked Wei Lanfen and Cheng Yue with tears in their eyes; they looked so pitiful.
Guo sighed, offering words of comfort while silently praying that Wang Qiufen would be alright.
Their help is only temporary; it can't last forever. If you're stuck with a father like that, and your mother is gone too, your future will be unbearably miserable.
Wei Lanfen pulled Cheng Yue outside and whispered, "Don't blame me for stopping you just now. These four women can only stay in my house."
Erlaizi is shameless. He's afraid of you, Changxi. We're all at home, so he won't dare to cause trouble. But if he really goes to your house, it'll be a real problem!
When you go out to do business, only Xiangxiu and her daughter are at home, so there are always places you can't take care of.
With this mother and her four children staying with you, that scoundrel has even more reason to come knocking; he'll inevitably be stealing chickens and dogs!
Cheng Yue originally wanted to say that it would be good to deal with Er Laizi now that he was gone. A scumbag like him would only pollute the air if he lived. He was good for nothing except harming his wife and children. It would be better if he died!
But Wei Lanfen was so considerate of her that it would be a lie to say she wasn't moved, so she could only nod without saying anything.
Zhao Xiaohua was able to speak again and stayed inside with her three sisters. Guo Shi came out and kept sighing that Zhao Luoguo was also unlucky.
Zhao Luoguo is called Luoguo because he has been disabled since childhood, but fortunately his parents are hardworking and down-to-earth, so they live a fairly good life.
As a result, the elderly couple had just found him a wife and hadn't even seen their grandson born when they both had an accident and rolled down the mountain to their deaths.
Zhao Luoguo endured the pain for the sake of his wife's unborn child, but unexpectedly, when the child was two years old, his wife fell ill again.
He, a grown man, had raised Zhao Datou with great difficulty and even found him a wife, only to be scammed by a woman who ran off with all the money on their wedding night.
He lost all the silver he had saved, leaving him with nothing but loss of both money and life.
Fortunately, the father and son were open-minded, otherwise they would have hanged themselves long ago.
How long has it been since that incident? We haven't even had two years of good times, and now this has happened again!
Cheng Yue felt a pang of sadness after hearing this. "The rope always breaks at its thinnest point, and misfortune only finds those with a hard life. This person's fate is truly miserable!"
