Yan Jiao, who was silent at the side, thought for a moment and said, "Mother Ling, listen to Can Niang and don't worry. If you really can't find her then, just come and live in my house. My house is bigger than Xie's house." It’s big, there are many houses, and my cousins are also pregnant.”
Ling had never thought about this before. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment and subconsciously said: "Isn't this good?"
Yan Jiao said with an indifferent expression: "There's nothing wrong! We are all acquaintances, and Sister Yuan has helped me a lot. If you are staying at Xie's house, if you are afraid of offending my brother-in-law Xie's happiness, then stay with me." I'm not afraid of being scolded, and I'm even eager to feel happy about it. Of course, as long as you don't dislike my current status. Besides, my yard is still thanks to Sister Yuan. Without Sister Yuan, I wouldn't be here now. It’s not even sure what it will be like.”
Ling was a little moved, but she still shook her head and refused: "Jiaojiao, I know you are good. But it is Yuanniang who is helping you, and this has nothing to do with us. Besides, if Zhengzi Mansion can pass this time, his father My mother and daughter-in-law are coming over. We bought a house, so it will be convenient for us to live together."
Wang Can pondered for a moment and then said: "Auntie, before I came here, the third aunt and the third sister-in-law said that if the third brother can pass the government examination this time, he will go to Luyang Mansion regardless of whether he can pass the college examination. Therefore, as long as nothing unexpected happens, I won’t live until July. In this case, it should be okay to live at Xie’s house by then. I don’t mind if the eldest sister is here. "
As soon as Mrs. Ling heard this, she knew why the Sanfang man did this. She was moved but still shook her head.
"We will not live here for three or five months. No matter what, we have to wait until the children are born, and after half a year old. No one knows what will happen next. The children are too young to run around on the road. This house is still You have to buy it. With the current situation, the house is getting more and more expensive. If you buy it, you will go to Luyang Mansion later, and you can resell it. If you are lucky, you can make a small profit."
Wang Can also knew that it was better to have the baby at home. Hearing this, he didn't try to persuade her. He just said to Yan Jiao, "Sister Jiaojiao, we'll see when the time comes. If I can buy the best, but if it doesn't work, I'll do as you say. At worst, you can wait until the baby is born before renting a house, and then the owners will not be so shy about it."
Ling, who was originally determined, became less anxious when she heard that this sounded like a retreat.
"That's okay. Let's go out and have a look tomorrow, Canniang. I don't know if it's my imagination, but the exams have started, and there are more and more people in the city."
Because Yan Jiao continued to sell pancakes every day, she and Ying Lei often met.
As the number of contacts increased, the two became more and more familiar with each other.
She heard some news from Ying Lei and saw that there were only three of them around, so she said: "There are indeed many people in our city now, and they are all from the following counties. However, these people are all well-informed rich farmers. They mainly come here to avoid natural disasters, and secondly, the Dayun River that runs through our Xinyang Prefecture has problems in Linfeng County and Liufeng County. The Dayun River is blocked in our Liuyun County area. It’s called Liuyun River, but it’s actually Dayun River. And this problem is still man-made.”
Neither Wang Can nor Ling knew about this, and looked at her in surprise when they heard this.
"Jiaojiao, where did you hear this? How do you know it's man-made? What's going on with the river? Aren't the people who do this kidding about human life? Aren't they afraid of being beheaded? Like us Liuyun The county is downstream, so if something goes wrong, the whole county could be flooded.”
How many lives is that?
When Mrs. Ling asked this question, her heart trembled.
Her family was unwilling to leave with her, saying that their ancestors had been in Liuyun County for generations and their roots were there.
Even if you know there's going to be a drought, just stock up on water and you'll be able to get through it after a while.
She thought that even if there was a flood, Lijia'ao, which was close to Liuyun River, would at most affect some surrounding villages.
As for how serious the flood disaster Xie Yanzhi said might be, she didn't take it seriously at all.
Just thinking that where the children and men are, she will be there.
But if there is really a problem with the river, and it has not rained for a long time, when it does rain, what will happen?
When she came out this time, she clearly understood how low the terrain in Liuyun County was.
After the carriage went around and around the official road, she looked back from a distance and saw that Liuyun County looked like a sunken place.
If you are in it and never leave Liuyun County for the rest of your life, you won't be able to notice it easily.
Even if I notice it, I don't think it will happen.
You can only see it if you are high up and far enough away.
The Liuyun River flows down from a high place in the distance, like a waterfall, and then gradually slows down, and then circles most of Liuyun County.
This is also the reason why Liufeng County, upstream of Liuyun County, has river transportation, but Liuyun County does not have it and it is inaccessible.
They had never noticed this kind of terrain when they were in the county town or Lijia'ao before.
If she hadn't come out this time, she wouldn't have known about it.
In such a situation, if there is a flood disaster and man-made problems occur in the river, it means that there is something wrong with the dam blocking it. Wouldn't it mean that the entire Liuyun County people would be drowned alive?
The more I thought about Ling, the more flustered I became, with deep fear still in my eyes.
At this moment, she wished she had wings so that she could fly back and persuade her parents.
Yan Jiao saw the panic in Ling's eyes and said, "Auntie, don't worry about where I heard it from. In short, the news can't be wrong."
Ling's mood was gone now. After returning to Xie's house with Wang Can, she was so worried that she directly went to Liu Mei and said, "Miaomiao, I want to go back."
Liu Mei is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family. In the past, when mother-in-law Ling was not at home, she took care of everything in the house.
At this time, she saw that Mrs. Ling looked wrong, so she asked: "Mom, what happened?"
Mrs. Ling didn't hide anything from her, and even called Li Rui's wife Song Qiaoxiao over to repeat what Yan Jiao said today.
At the end of the sentence, he pursed his lips and said with determination in his eyes: "Both of your natal families promised to go together, and even your third aunt's natal family also said that they would follow. There are only my natal family and Zhengzi's daughter-in-law's natal family, how can we persuade them? It's no use. Originally, I was just lucky, thinking it wouldn't be that serious. But now it doesn't work. I plan to go back and try to persuade Zhengzi's daughter-in-law again, so that she can avoid it happening. I will regret it again."
Hearing this, Liu Mei said: "Mom, just go back with peace of mind, I am here. I won't be able to give birth for a while, and I will still have to give birth to my younger siblings. Besides, Can Niang is also here, and Zhengzi and Junzi are also here. My eldest brother-in-law is here too, and they won’t ignore anything if anything happens. After you go back, please give more advice to your uncle and the others, there is no need for us to face our fate."
