Chapter 36 Torrential Rain (2/2)



However, she couldn't worry about others right now; she could only hope that the people of Chijia'ao could get through this smoothly.

"Little fish?"

Just as Chi Yu was rushing to Uncle He's carpenter's house, a familiar voice suddenly came from ahead.

Chi Yu strained to open his rain-soaked eyes and looked ahead, where he saw Chi Sanbao standing in front of him carrying a load of wet firewood.

"Third Brother, what are you doing here?"

Chi Sanbao put down the firewood on his shoulder, walked over, and instead of answering, asked:

"What are you doing out in this heavy rain?"

After saying that, he looked her up and down, and seeing that her feet were soaking in the water, his eyes were full of disapproval.

This girl has only been out of confinement for a few days, and she's already ruining her health like this.

Could it be that my sister-in-law wasn't here today, so I didn't keep an eye on her?

Chi Yu also sensed the displeasure in her third brother's words and immediately said:

"Third Brother, I want to open the grocery store as soon as possible, so I drew up a shelf plan and want to ask Uncle He to help me print it out."

Also, on the way back, stop by Uncle Fu's house and buy two large baskets.

In addition, my sister-in-law and I both felt that it was more appropriate to open the shop at home.

However, given my current status, it's not appropriate for me to stay inside the house, so I'm thinking of adding a wooden hut near the entrance.

So, Third Brother, you, Eldest Brother, and Second Brother, when you have some free time, help me build a wooden house.”

Anyway, things are only placed in the wooden house during the day.

After closing the shop at night, all the items can be stored away in the space.

Even if she's unlucky and the cabin collapses under the weight of heavy snow or during an earthquake, she's not afraid of any losses.

Chi Sanbao didn't know what she was doing out there, but now that he did, he certainly wouldn't let her walk in the heavy rain.

He immediately reached out his hand: "Give me the shelf blueprints you mentioned, and I'll go to Uncle He's house for you."

Also, how many large baskets do you need? I'll buy them for you later.

Facing this third brother, Chi Yu didn't stand on ceremony and directly took out the pattern wrapped in oil paper from his pocket and handed it over.

"Third Brother, don't open it now, otherwise it will get wet from the rain and you won't be able to see it."

Also, I need two baskets, or three if you like.

If the kang (heated brick bed) gets too hot, we can put a bamboo basket on it later so Zhuangzhuang can lie down inside.

"Okay, then bring two. Zhuangzhuang has several of us uncles here, the heated kang is too hot, why would he lie in a basket?"

Even a small amount from a family can be used to separate him.

"Okay, it's raining heavily, you should go back quickly. I'll bring you the basket later."

As for building the wooden house, there's no rush. We'll have to wait until the rain subsides!

After thinking for a moment, before leaving, Chi Yu slipped a piece of silver into Chi Sanbao's hand.

"Third Brother, this is the money for the shelves. We'll settle the difference later, if there's an overpayment, we'll refund the underpayment."

Chi Sanbao's face darkened immediately: "Am I still your brother? Why are you so calculating with me?"

Once you've been married, even if you come back, there's always a distance between you, isn't there?

Upon hearing this, Chi Yu was so frightened that she quickly took back the loose silver.

"Third brother, don't overthink it, I really didn't mean it that way."

I was just thinking that even close brothers should keep clear accounts, and since this was something I was supposed to do, I should be the one to pay.

Since you're unhappy, then I won't give it to you.

Chi Sanbao thought of the things in the cellar of his old home and knew that they were his sister's last guarantee for them.

So, while touched, she also said rather irritably:

"If you want to calculate it clearly, then we don't need any of the things we bought before."

Even if you want it, I'll pay you back however much you need later.

These words really frightened Chi Yu. The reason why she and her older sister spent so much money to prepare so many things was so that their family could get through the disaster year smoothly.
