Lu Jingxing was in a hurry to get back, but there were two mudslides and a landslide on the road to Lujia Village, so he would have to wait at least a day or two to get back.
Left with no other choice, he went to He Sichen for help.
"Don't worry! Even if you don't tell me, I'm going back anyway. My grandfather is still in Lujia Village, and I'm worried about him being alone."
He Sichen did not refuse to help, nor did he feel that he was helping Lu Jingxing.
In order to get into the village as soon as possible, He Sichen spent over 10,000 yuan to hire five excavators to clear the way and thirty workers to clear mud and stones.
He Yurou knew that many parts of Lujia Village had been flooded, and she was especially frightened to the point that An Wan's house had also collapsed.
Although she knew that the Lu family and An Wan were currently safe, she was still very worried.
She wasn't worried about Grandpa He; he had two male caregivers who knew martial arts protecting him, so he was the safest person there.
However, the road into the village was blocked, and it would take at least a day to get in.
The three of them waited anxiously.
Fearing that the Lu family's food supplies would be flooded, He Yurou took advantage of this time to go to the market and buy over a hundred kilograms of rice, flour, vegetables, and some daily necessities.
Buy two new outfits for An Wan and each member of the Lu family.
After three days of heavy rain, they certainly didn't have any clean clothes to change into.
In addition, He Yurou bought shoes and socks for each member of the Lu family.
Despite spending tens of thousands of yuan, He Yurou didn't feel bad at all; if she was going to buy something, she would definitely buy the best designer clothes.
She is not a stingy person.
Besides, the Lu family are Lu Jingxing's relatives.
Grandpa cares so much about Anwan.
I'm considering this as a gift to the Lu family as a token of our first meeting.
We've known each other for so long, and she's never given me a gift before we met.
Lu Sen and Yun Ping are Lu Jingxing's parents, so she needs to make a good impression.
He Yurou acted quickly and finished the matter in one morning.
During this free time, Lu Jingxing not only tidied up his dorm room, but also went to the shop that An Wan had rented to check on the renovation progress.
Although the weather in the county town wasn't as bad as in Lujia Village, three days of rain still affected the shop's renovation progress.
However, the three workers assured that they would work overtime to finish the job within the agreed time.
To express his gratitude, Lu Jingxing went to the convenience store next door and bought three bottles of soda and three packs of cigarettes, which he then gave to the three drivers as a token of his appreciation.
——
Lujia Village
Grandpa He's rented new house
A boy with a gloomy face stood on a path not far from the house, his sinister triangular eyes staring at the Lu family's new house.
The laughter coming from inside the house felt like sharp knives cutting into his heart.
Blood was flowing freely.
The pain was so intense it made me numb.
"You ruined my family and destroyed my future, and I won't let you get away with this! Just you wait! Lu Sen! Lu Jingxing!"
"I, Lu Kong, am not someone to be trifled with. Now I have nothing left, all thanks to you. I have nothing to lose, I'm fearless. I'll make you taste the pain of losing everything. Hahaha—"
Lu Kong let out a sinister laugh. Ten consecutive days of insomnia had left him with a sallow complexion and heavy dark circles under his eyes.
He had a bluish-black mustache around his mouth, and his clothes were messy and dirty, making him look almost like a beggar.
The bright sunlight shone on him, yet he couldn't see any light, as if it were being sucked into him.
An Wan, who was inside the house, was unaware that someone was spying on her from outside. She had just ended the call on her mobile phone.
She and the Lu family knew that Lu Jingming was eager to go home, so they advised him not to rush and to wait patiently for the government to clear the road, emphasizing that safety was the most important thing.
Instead, he comforted them, telling them that He Sichen had hired five excavators to clear the way, and that they would be able to enter the village within a day.
The sun was very strong that day, and the water in the low-lying areas quickly receded, leaving behind a thick layer of yellow mud.
The water on the road surface quickly receded, leaving only puddles of varying sizes filled with muddy water.
The women were busy washing and drying clothes and quilts.
The man took firewood to dry; every brick and tile house leaks.
The children are busy going out to play.
I've been cooped up for three days, it's driving me crazy and making me feel like I'm going to rot.
The new house I'm temporarily staying in is fully furnished; I'll mainly be moving in with my clothes.
Yunping was busy cooking lunch.
Lu Chunhe and Lu Jingming took all the family's clothes and quilts and put them in the yard to air them out.
Lu Zhili pulled An Wan to play. As soon as they left the yard, they saw a boy standing not far away, looking at the new house with a strange expression.
"What's he doing here?" Lu Zhili recognized the boy as Lu Kong at a glance.
An Wan was startled. Looking closely at the boy, she realized it really was Lu Kong, with a gloomy face and fierce eyes, as if he wanted to devour someone.
I heard that he didn't take the college entrance exam this year because the whole school, and even the whole Shuanglong County, knew that his father murdered his own brother just for a position as a mine manager.
However, the mother secretly sold the house on the third day and ran away with the money.
The rumors were so unbearable that Lu Kong could only attend school for one day, so he asked for leave and went home the next day.
He didn't go to the college entrance exam until the first day, and stayed at home the whole time.
Lu Kong was surprised to be discovered by Lu Zhili and An Wan just as he was about to leave, and a surge of anger welled up inside him.
He stormed toward them, about to grab them, when two men approached from a distance, speaking very loudly. Startled, he shuddered and quickly turned and ran away.
That's a pervert!
An Wan gritted her teeth in anger when she saw Lu Kong run away.
I should have kicked him first to teach him a lesson, so he wouldn't think he was easy to bully.
