On the way to Zhou's house, Mrs. Ling and the others were still nervous, holding on to a one in ten thousand hope that what Zhou Danfei said was not true.
But they actually knew in their hearts that no one would joke about such a big thing, and Zhou Danfei was a sensible child and would never curse her family.
But there is always a little bit of hope in my heart.
But this little bit of luck was instantly wiped out after seeing the collapsed house of Zhou family.
The Zhou family’s house really collapsed!
Now all that's left are shocking ruins.
The only thing to be thankful for is that not everything collapsed. At least the main room remained intact, standing out particularly among the ruins.
Ling Hancheng squatted on the ground, frowning and smoking.
Zhou Meixiang was looking at the ruins with tears in her eyes. It looked so shaky that it seemed as if it could not even stand steadily.
"how so……"
Ling Hancheng and Chu Yuefang were both very surprised for a moment.
Old Mrs. Ling walked over and her eyes fell on the piles of rubble.
But all of a sudden I discovered the problem.
Old man Zhou had always boasted to others that their house was made entirely of bricks and was definitely the best house in Huaihe Village.
But now it has collapsed, and the ruins are mostly composed of lumps of earth, and the number of bricks seems to be less than one-fifth.
Old Mrs. Ling still remembers that when Old Man Zhou built this house, he had just returned from outside. At that time, he said he wanted to build a brick house, but many people in the village did not believe him and thought that Old Man Zhou was bragging.
Unexpectedly, when the five houses of the Zhou family were built and the bricks were clearly exposed, everyone sighed that old man Zhou had really made a fortune.
The Zhou family's house was not located very close to the center of the village. At that time, there were not many neighbors around, and they were all very far away. In addition, it was the busy farming season, so no one went to see how Old Man Zhou built the house.
Now it seems that Old Man Zhou probably just covered the outside with a layer of bricks, and the inside is still made of mud!
Of course, such a house is unlikely to withstand the ravages of a storm!
After figuring this out, Old Mrs. Ling really didn't know what to say.
Should we say that Old Man Zhou has severely cheated his daughter and son-in-law?
But the problem is that he has been dead for several years, and it would be useless to put the blame on him now.
I guess after others find out, they will just curse him behind his back.
What a father who cheats his child!
In the end, Mrs. Ling chose not to speak.
Even if Old Lady Ling didn't say it, how could Ling Hanmin and Zhou Meixiang not understand when they saw the pitifully few bricks in the ruins?
Zhou Meixiang is crying now, and it is unclear whether she is crying for the tragic experience of her family or blaming her deceased father in her heart.
"It's already like this now. You should think carefully about what to do next." Old Mrs. Ling said directly.
No matter why the house collapsed, it is a fact now. What we should think about now is how to continue living the rest of our lives.
Zhou Meixiang was indeed the most determined person. She said directly to Old Lady Ling, "Mom, I have a request. I wonder if I can ask you a favor?"
Mrs. Ling thought about it and felt that it was probably about borrowing money. She said, "You go ahead and tell me."
I don’t know how much money Zhou Meixiang wants to borrow. If it’s not enough, I’ll help her appropriately, but if it’s too much... there’s no way that Old Lady Ling will let the Ling family suffer for the sake of the two of them.
Zhou Meixiang forced a smile at Old Lady Ling:
"Mom, this house collapsed and we have to rebuild it. It will definitely cost some money, but fortunately we can still afford it. It's just..."
