Chapter 4 Running away

"You have to talk to your grandmother about this." Although Zhou Huiniang felt sad for what happened to her daughter, days were still going on, and natural disasters were happening all the time, so she had no extra time to grieve.

Xia Dashan nodded: "I'm going to tell mother, you give it to Huai'er first and then there's some more." Xia Dashan then realized that he still didn't know his grandson's name.

Seeing her father staring at her, Xia Huai quickly pushed Brother Rui over: "His name is Shen Xirui, and we usually call him Brother Rui. Brother Rui, go get close to your grandparents."

Rui Geer was not afraid of life, so he immediately stretched out his arms towards Xia Dashan.

Zhou Huiniang on the side was a little annoyed: "Brother Rui dislikes my grandmother?"

Rui Geer's face immediately turned red, and he murmured and shook his head: "No, it's not."

Zhou Huiniang actually looks very approachable and gentle. The reason is that she cried so hard just now, which made Brother Rui, who had never seen such a wonderful change of face, feel magical and a little scared at the same time.

Xia Dashan smiled heartily and patted Rui Geer's thin shoulder with his big hand: "Rui Geer, go find your grandmother, and she will give you delicious food later!" After saying that, Xia Dashan walked towards the door.

Mrs. Feng had been seeing Dr. Zhang off for a while, and he went to see what was going on.

After Xia Dashan left the yard, Zhou Huiniang turned around and took out a handful of peanuts from under a pile of neatly packed grain packages, and then took out a handful of oil fruits.

"Come on, Huai'er, Rui Ge'er, are you hungry? Our house has collapsed. We really can't cook. Let's eat something first."

Xia Huai took it carefully, first grabbed some peanuts for Rui Geer, and wrapped the rest in a handkerchief. As for the peanuts, they are greasy and cannot be stored.

Smelling the aroma of the fruit, Xia Huai's stomach twitched suddenly.

"Huai'er?" Zhou Huiniang looked over nervously: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to ask Dr. Zhang to come again?"

Seeing Zhou Huiniang getting up to leave, Xia Huai held her stomach and shook her head quickly: "Mom, I'm fine." She smiled sheepishly: "I'm a little hungry."

Are you hungry? She and Rui Geer haven't eaten or drank for about a day and a half, and they have relied on faith to persist until now. If it weren't for the fragrance of the fruit, she might not even be aware of her hunger for a while. Woolen cloth!

Thinking of this, Xia Huai quickly said to his son: "Brother Rui, don't eat this oily fruit. We've been hungry for a long time, so if we eat the oily fruit suddenly, I'm afraid it's not good for our stomach."

Although Rui Geer was greedy for the peanuts, he nodded obediently and peeled the peanuts with his hands to stuff them into his mouth.

"Sister-in-law Zhou."

Zhou Huiniang turned around: "Oh, it's Shuyu's mother! Why are you here now?"

Liu Qingyun smiled and held a bowl in her hand: "I heard that Xiaohuai is back. No, my family just happened to cook porridge and brought a bowl."

"Ouch, how can this happen?" Although Zhou Huiniang said this, she couldn't help but smile. She quickly took the bowl from Liu Qingyun's hand, turned around and handed it to Xia Huai: "Huai'er, you and Rui Brother, hurry up and eat some cushion."

Xia Huai was not polite and just thanked Liu Qingyun.

"Sister-in-law Zhou, are you planning to leave today?" Liu Qingyun looked around and found that everyone in Lao Xia's family was busy and asked curiously.

"Yes, my mother said that the sky is not very good, and she is afraid of another earthquake."

It's not that we can't wait until it's over to rebuild, but with so many houses, even if the family has savings, they can't rebuild them all at once. Moreover, what if there's an earthquake after the reconstruction starts?

The county boss has not taken any disaster relief measures. No matter how unhappy the people are, they cannot wait to die!

So, last night they all agreed that they had to leave!

Hearing this, Liu Qingyun had a thoughtful look on her face, and nodded after a long time: "That's right. I'll go back and discuss it with the child's father. I'll see if we can go together."

Zhou Huiniang nodded: "I think so, this Xiushui Village, I can't stay here any longer!"

After seeing off Liu Qingyun, Xia Dashan and Mrs. Feng happened to come back.

Mrs. Feng's expression was not very good. When she looked at Xia Huai, her emotions were very complicated.

There are worries, emotions, and entanglements, but most of all, I feel distressed.

"Grandma." Xia Huai put down the porridge bowl, bent down and picked up Brother Rui to talk to Mrs. Feng.

"Girl Huai, you have suffered." A trace of regret flashed across Mrs. Feng's usually serious face. Although it was fleeting, Xia Huai could clearly see it.

It seems that the original family is not difficult to get along with. If everyone is patriarchal, I'm afraid she will only be kicked out!

"Da Shan, go and call Da Zhuang. You two go to the town to call Xia Jiao and Xia Yu back. Then go and notify Xia Mian's family to see if they are willing to go together."

"Why!"

After Dashan and Dazhuang walked towards the town, Mrs. Feng urged everyone to load their luggage into the car.

I only had time to make one more handcart. Currently, the three handcarts and a mule cart at home are fully loaded.

Don’t think that your family members will be lucky enough to sit on it. As long as you can walk, no one wants to be pushed or pulled, let alone taking a car, even if you don’t have luggage in your hand!

Country people are thrifty. Although Mrs. Feng said to only take the important things, who is willing to throw away so many things? Even if they are tied to the body, they have to be taken away!

Zhou Huiniang was holding Xia Huai and talking small talk when she suddenly heard:

"Bonnie Zhou"

She turned her head and raised her eyebrows: "Ah! Isn't this Shuyu? What's wrong?" Not long after Liu Qingyun left, why did she ask her daughter to come over so quickly?

Wang Shuyu looked a little hesitant, then she came closer and whispered: "Auntie, my mother said."

"What?" Zhou Huiniang cried out in fright. When she noticed that Wu Xiaorong and Liu Qiuhe were looking at her suspiciously, she quickly covered her mouth and pulled Wang Shuyu to confirm in a low voice: "Are you sure? You really saw the village chief's family packing their luggage?"

Wang Shuyu nodded firmly: "I'm sure, the stone can be seen clearly. He originally went to dig out a bird's nest in the tree, but he didn't expect to see it."

Shitou is her younger brother, he is only 12 years old this year.

When Zhou Huiniang heard this, her eyes couldn't help but darken.

A few days ago, if we wanted to know who could jump the most, it would be the village chief's house. The village chief said he insisted on staying, but it had only been a few days? Was he ready to run away behind the back of the villagers?

Xiushui Village is different from other villages. This village is a hodgepodge. A few decades ago, there were only a few families. Later, people fleeing from famine came to live here, and it gradually expanded into a village.

Various surnames were mixed together, and no one accepted anyone's discipline. In the end, Village Chief Zhang was identified because his family has deep roots and is rich.

But no matter what, it is impossible for people with different surnames to be selfless.

What makes Zhou Huiniang feel dissatisfied is that Village Chief Zhang has clearly promised not to leave Xiushui Village, and now he has gone back on his word. He is not a big deal!

In addition, there is another reason.

Her eldest son Xia Tiao was originally engaged to Zhang Mengwei, the daughter of the village chief. However, for the sake of Xia Tiao's future, Zhou Huiniang discussed with the village chief two years later in getting married. Unexpectedly, Zhang Mengwei was not a peaceful person!

On the surface, Zhang Mengwei did not dislike the marriage, but secretly she had an affair with a wealthy man in the town, the only son of the Ma family, Ma Tiancai. After the incident was revealed, she broke off the engagement with his family, and then moved to the town and became Ma Tiancai's concubine.
