Seeing that his father had made up his mind, Xing Yifei didn't say much.
"Thank you, Captain."
"Oh, it's what I should have done." Lei Zhong said with a smile, "Don't turn them over anymore. Take them home quickly. They will get wet too. Don't let anything get in trouble."
If it weren't for his home being more convenient, he would be willing to take them back.
Lei Zhong still admired scholars very much. He felt that he did not belong here. Although he would go back sooner or later, he could not be allowed to die here. It would be such a pity as he was a pillar of the country.
Liu Dongmei said: "Okay, come with me."
"Teacher Xing, please go slowly. I'll help you." Liu Dongmei led the way and took the stack of books from his hands with a happy look on her face.
He came to her house because he thought highly of her. She would definitely take good care of him. If there was a chance, she would ask Xing Jianjun to give Xiu'er some guidance. When Xiu'er came back, she would tell him then.
Xing Jianjun said to her: "Thank you!"
Liu Xiumei was stunned for a moment, unable to react. People in the village rarely said this word: "No need to thank me, I'm so lucky that you can come to my house to burn incense!"
Chen Shaohui disagreed with her and said with a smile: "Auntie, why do you say that! If it weren't for you, we might have to sleep on the street tonight."
"You are such a good talker, young man. You won't have any trouble finding a good wife in the future!"
Chen Shaohui naturally continued: "Auntie, are you going to introduce someone to me?"
Liu Dongmei looked into his eyes, a little puzzled: "Where can I introduce you? There is someone in my family that you will definitely not like."
Frightened, Chen Shaohui quickly refused: "No, no, your daughter is so good, I am not worthy of her."
Liu Dongmei's experience is that relying solely on men is unreliable, and women can only rely on themselves. This is the truth she has learned over the years.
Xing Jianjun had known Chen Shaohui for so long and understood his personality. He said, "If you like someone, go after her yourself. Don't harm other people's daughters."
"Of course."
It didn't take long before they arrived at Liu Dongmei's house. They saw Lu Zhaodi coming out of the main room, carrying a bucket full of water to pour it.
She brought several men back without a word. Her own husband wasn't even dead yet! She was so panicked that she was looking for another husband. How shameless! Why did she marry such a cheap woman to her child in the first place? Not only did she not respect her parents, she also poisoned her man. She should be thrown into the pig cage!
However, they spent such a huge amount of money to marry her, it would be a pity if she died. They must let her live to be a slave to her family.
Liu Dongmei led the few people into the house. Without noticing Lu Zhaodi's fierce look, she introduced the rooms in the house to them.
The inner room was previously occupied by her husband Wang Goudan and mother-in-law Lu Zhaodi. Since the last incident, that room became her and Xiu'er's bedroom, and they both moved to the kitchen. The specific incident can be said to be very gratifying.
They said they would let them live in the woodshed, but it was damp and cold at night, and it would be strange if they didn't freeze to death. "Why don't you live in this house?"
Xing Jianjun saw that the house Liu Dongmei brought them to was a somewhat shabby earthen room with a clean floor compared to the outside. The light in the room was dim, and he could vaguely see where the bed was.
As soon as Xing Jianjun entered the house, he found that there were only two rooms. He asked worriedly, "We live here, where are you staying?"
She couldn't be left with no place to sleep just because they moved in.
Liu Dongmei reassured them: "I'll sleep outside, don't worry, nothing will happen."
Now she has figured out Lu Zhaodi's lifeline and has a clear grasp on her, so she is not afraid of her causing any trouble.
Xing Yifei glanced at the raindrops falling from the sky and said, "How can you sleep when it's still raining outside?"
If they slept inside, she would definitely catch a cold if she slept here.
Chen Shaohui ran to another room and found that it was a kitchen with firewood piled up. There was a wooden board on the floor and Wang Goudan was sleeping leisurely on it. When he heard footsteps, he said without thinking, "Why are you bringing me food now? Do you want to starve me to death?"
Liu Dongmei coughed twice. Wang Goudan shuddered when he heard the sound. He stopped shouting that he was hungry and kept his mouth shut.
Seeing that they didn't say anything, Liu Dongmei suggested, "Look, this place is where he and his mother sleep. You should sleep in that room!"
Chen Shaohui looked at the kitchen and decisively chose to live in the room with a bed.
Xing Yifei was the first to go out. As he walked, he thought that Liu Dongmei had changed a lot. She was always beaten by her man before, but now she can actually suppress him. All this was because Tian Xiaolan was giving her advice behind the scenes. She had changed a lot since she woke up, and she felt particularly attractive.
Chen Shaohui and Xing Jianjun also came out. They couldn't stay in the main room. If Liu Dongmei slept in the leaky main room, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep well. They were still human after all! Living with them wouldn't be good for her either. Her relationship with Wang Goudan wasn't good either. For her personal safety, there was no better solution for the time being.
"Yifei, what do you think?"
Xing Yifei went to the kitchen and brought back some firewood and straw: "I'll go and patch up the house so we can sleep tonight."
His father was in poor health, and he was afraid that his rheumatism would relapse if he slept outside. He also couldn't let Liu Dongmei sleep inside. If it got out that a man and a woman were sleeping alone in the same room, it would not be good for her. He could only help her stop the rain first.
Wait until the rain stops and then repair the roof, and it will stop leaking. Consider everything and start taking action.
Chen Shaohui went to find a wooden ladder with steps wrapped with wire, leaned it against the wall, held one side with his hand, and waited for Xing Yi to fly up.
Xing Yifei was not afraid either. He took a few steps and went up. Braving the wind and rain, he struggled to lay long sticks on the roof where there were holes, and then covered the leaking area with straw. The rain soaked his clothes, but he ignored it until he had finished laying the straw.
After coming down, he stretched his hand in the air to check if there was any leak in the house, and held it over the leak for a few minutes until the water dripped down.
"Brother, you are so awesome!"
Xing Yifei nodded: "Yes, then I can sleep."
Liu Dongmei swept the water in the house and put a few benches in place to form a bed. She lay down on it and tried it, and found that she could sleep on it.
She finally couldn't see the sky while lying on the stool. She felt that it wouldn't take long to do this. But Wang Goudan didn't do it. He got up and said, "Are you hungry? I'll go cook for you!"
Xing Jianjun said: "No, we've already eaten."
Xing Yifei handed the food they had brought to Liu Dongmei and said, "We will stay at your house for a while. This is the rice we eat. You can take care of it. We will also pay for the food and other necessities."
She waved her hand: "No need to pay, I'm not doing this for your money."
Just because Xing Yifei helped Tian Xiaolan in the city, she couldn't accept the money. What they did was to help them and let them have the confidence to speak in this family.
