She also felt her heart racing, and Wei Yuyan immediately got out of bed and opened the door.
Then we heard the sounds of rocks sliding down and trees falling from the back mountain.
"Xiao Lei, Qian Qian, get up quickly."
Wei Yuyan quickly knocked on the children's door, then ran back into the house and found all the money, putting it into a box.
"Sister-in-law, it's too late."
Xiao Lei ran in, grabbed Wei Yuyan, and ran outside. After running fifty meters outside the gate, Wei Yuyan could clearly see that it was a mudslide, but it wasn't too big.
"Grain, the grain at home."
Wei Yuyan shoved the box into Xiao Lei's hands and tried to salvage the grain, but Xiao Lei and Qianqian held her tightly.
"Don't go, sister-in-law, I'm scared."
Qianqian shivered in the heavy rain, her tears mingling with the raindrops.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not going. I just hope they don't come to our house."
Wei Yuyan stared intently at the back mountain, praying that it wouldn't collapse.
As a result, their prayers had no effect, and the three of them watched helplessly as the mudslide rushed up the wall.
Fortunately, the mudslide wasn't too large. Due to the resistance of the wall, Wei Yuyan's room and Qianqian's room were also affected; the wall must have been tilted.
"Sister-in-law, go in and take a look. You all wait here."
Seeing that there was no movement, Wei Yuyan decided to go inside and take a look.
"Sister-in-law, don't go, don't go, what if there are more later?"
Xiao Lei refused to let go and continued to hold onto Wei Yuyan, making Wei Yuyan wonder how this brat could be so strong.
"Sister-in-law, Xiaolei, Qianqian, are you alright?"
Hearing Xiuhua's voice, the group turned around and saw Xiuhua and Lifu arriving with umbrellas.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, my sister-in-law still wants to go in, please stop her."
Qianqian quickly tattled on her to her sister-in-law, Xiuhua.
"Sister-in-law, why are you going in? The rain hasn't stopped yet, and rocks might roll down again."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law offered advice.
"All right".
Wei Yuyan looked at the house, hoping it could hold out for the night, and that she would come back to tidy it up the next morning.
"Come to my house, let's go. You're all soaking wet, what if you get sick?"
Sister-in-law Xiuhua brought Wei Yuyan and her two companions to her home.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, Brother Lifu, how did you know that something happened to my family?"
Once home, Wei Yuyan changed into Xiuhua's sister-in-law's dry clothes before remembering what had happened.
"Look, who's that?"
Sister-in-law Xiuhua pointed to the corner of the main room.
"Oh, it's Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua."
Wei Yuyan couldn't help but smile. These two little ones are even going to tip each other off now, not bad.
It must have been when everyone opened the door and ran out that the two puppies ran into Sister Xiuhua's house.
"Yeah, those two ran to my door and started barking and scratching at it. It gave me and your brother Lifu a fright."
I'm guessing something must have happened at your house, otherwise why would they come over?
Sister-in-law Xiuhua is still shaken by the experience; thankfully, she was unharmed.
"Go to sleep, Qianqian~".
Xiuhua's sister-in-law, Wei Yuyan, and Qianqian slept together, while Xiaolei and Lifu slept together.
"Sister-in-law, I'm still a little scared."
Qianqian was a little nervous.
"Don't be afraid. Our house was in a bad location and wasn't very sturdy, which is why it collapsed."
It's alright, sister-in-law, save some money, and we'll move into the new house next year."
Wei Yuyan gently comforted Qianqian, and Qianqian finally fell asleep.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, tell me, how much silver would it cost to build four or five brick houses, plus a surrounding wall?"
Wei Yuyan never expected this day to come so soon.
"It will probably cost around ten taels of silver, sister-in-law. Do you want to build a house with blue bricks and tiles?"
Xiuhua's sister-in-law was somewhat surprised; her sister-in-law really had guts.
"I have this idea, but I'm not in a hurry right now. I don't have enough money, and besides, I don't think the foundation is very good."
"It's so close to the mountain, I don't really want to build my house here anymore, it's too dangerous."
Wei Yuyan cursed the Wu family dozens of times in her heart; they couldn't even choose a good location to build a house.
I'm speechless that I chose such a terrible location.
"Alright, go to sleep early. Tomorrow, I'll have Lifu go and fix it up for you, and see if the house is still habitable."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua only saw that a small part of the wall had collapsed. The rest was not clearly visible due to poor visibility. She just hoped that the room would not be damaged.
"Giggle giggle~"
As dawn broke and the rooster crowed, Wei Yuyan quickly got up and headed home. She hadn't slept well all night, and there were still so many things to do at home.
Wei Yuyan ran all the way home. Fortunately, there was no problem with Xiao Lei's room, kitchen, or chicken coop.
Wei Yuyan was glad that she had decided to build the chicken coop next to the kitchen, otherwise things would have been terrible.
After opening Xiao Lei's room door and the kitchen door to let in some fresh air, Wei Yuyan went back to her own room first.
Well, the wall next to the fence was in a terrible state, and the bed was half covered by rainwater and mud. Fortunately, the wardrobe and food were fine.
Wei Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief and then ran to Qianqian's room to check. Qianqian's room was in even worse condition; an entire wall had collapsed, but the cabinets were still intact, and the grain was scattered on the floor.
They quickly lifted the grains up, only to find that the bag of rice was completely soaked.
"Sister-in-law, why didn't you call us before you came?"
Xiuhua's sister-in-law's voice came in.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, Brother Lifu, I couldn't wait any longer, so I came to check on you."
This side has been completely destroyed. Look, this house is uninhabitable.
Wei Yuyan pointed to the left side of the house, which was completely affected. The left wall of the main room was also crooked, making it a dangerous building.
"What should we do then? Rebuild it from scratch?"
Li Fu looked at Wei Yuyan, knowing that she still had enough money to build a house.
"Even if I were to rebuild, I wouldn't build it here again. It's too dangerous. If it happens once, it might happen again."
Wei Yuyan shook her head. "Let's not build it now. We'll discuss this matter further later."
As for where I'll stay during this time, I'll see if there are any vacant houses in the village and rent one for a while.
"Yes, sister-in-law is right. Let's get things organized now."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua nodded and prepared to go and see if there was anything still usable.
"Brother Lifu, could you please help me move the cabinets and rice from my room to Xiaolei's room?"
Sister-in-law Xiuhua, this bag of rice is wet. We'll carry it to your house to wash and dry it.
Wei Yuyan thought that the rice couldn't be left out for too long or it would spoil, so she quickly went to wash it.
It's sunny today, so after washing and drying, it's still edible.
Sister-in-law Xiuhua and Wei Yuyan carried the rice to Sister-in-law Xiuhua's house, and the children got up as well.
"Xiao Lei, Qian Qian, you two shouldn't go over there; you won't be of any help."
I'll go get you two clothes. Once you're dressed, have breakfast and go to school.
