The rain continued for three days. The people who were crying for the rain were worried to death. They covered the ground with raincoats and dug the water trenches for the seedlings. The world seemed to have sunk into a vast ocean as the heavy rain continued to pour down in a torrential downpour.

The restoration work in the county had been halted, and the rain had caused a landslide in the South Mountain. A worker had been pressed down, and thus, he was able to save his life, but his leg had been crushed and he had to recuperate. For this, Jiaoniang specially rushed over to the county with some money for the injured.

The Old Man Sun returned to Sun family's Ditch, and Ji Dahe also brought everyone back to the village. Their village was poor, this rain might cause water to leak out of the house, so it was more important for them to be on their own people.

It was difficult for the farmers to live on their own. Whether the farmers could eat or not depended on the heavens' reward, and once the weather was good, the farmers could live a year peacefully. If there were any problems, they would have to tighten their belt and live their lives.

It didn't rain, but it did. It was said that the new governor would let three fires burn on him, yet Lin Rui, as the Patriarch, had not even sat down and warmed up, he was already busy all day. Today, this whole crop had been completely crushed, and tomorrow, another house had collapsed.

Even Lin Gangliang and his wife, who lived in a rundown temple, were taken over by his uncle's family for the time being.

No matter what, children were always carefree. Tieh Dan and Orchid took their raincoats and walked around the courtyard in the water. They were too young, afraid that their mothers would hug them in their arms and not let them leave. At first, Wang Meihua and the others refused to allow the two children to play outside in the rain. However, Jiaoniang advised them to play in the water because it was their child's nature to, rather than letting them play in the water by themselves, it would be better to let them drink ginger soup and take a hot bath right under their noses.

Jiaoniang had a lot of unreasonable reasons, but Wang Meihua could not be bothered to argue with her, and could not be bothered to plead with her. After all, in the future, Tieh Dan would wake up when he was awake and studying, when he had nothing to do, he would do all the household chores he could do, instead of playing around in the mountains like the other children.

The wild ginger that Ye Xuan had harvested from the mountains had dried and stored in a jar. The rain was cold these days and Jiaoniang would cook a big pot for his family to drink everyday to prevent them from catching a cold.

Just as Jiaoniang was changing the chassis under the cage for the rabbit, he heard Wang Meihua calling for her from the courtyard: "Jiaoniang, quickly come out, look who's here!"

Jiaoniang lifted her skirt and walked out. She saw a drenched lotus flower on the porch, with a sickle in her hand, she carried the basket on her back.

Wang Meihua used a dry towel to wipe off the rain on her face, and grumbled: "You're a sincere child, why can't you feed a rabbit? Go to the back garden and pick up a bunch of vegetables. Do you have to go to the river to mow the grass? "Quickly go into the house and change your clothes. Don't catch a cold again!"

"Tieh Dan, go bring me a bowl of ginger soup!" Jiaoniang went into the house and took out a set of clean clothes. The lotus was pushed into the house, and Wang Meihua could not help but nag, "You're not doing well at all. Even infecting a rabbit won't work? "

When Lotus heard this, she had a reaction. She looked at Jiaoniang fearfully and said, "I only sent the grass here. I won't go in to feed the rabbits today."

As he said that, he threw the basket onto the ground and was about to run away, but was grabbed back by Jiaoniang, "That's not what my mother meant, she's worried that you might have no one to take care of you. Don't be like this next time, didn't I say to wait until the sky cleared before you start working again?"

Lotus stood on the spot, nervously pinching her clothes and not saying a word.

Jiaoniang sighed and brought her to his room to change. Lotus wasn't much older than her, the pregnancy patterns on her skinny and weak stomach were extremely glaring. This was a woman's medal, a point of a man getting tired of his wife.

Jiaoniang was not in a hurry, only after she had seen a better person in the world would she gradually forget about her past self. If she could not start to see how strong she was in the past, then no matter what others did, they would not be able to help her.

The Lotus that had changed into a clean set of clothes did not look that messy anymore. Jiaoniang's plain clothes matched her quite well.

"These clothes are pretty good for you. When you have money, pull out a few pieces of cloth and make some for yourself. I'll make some for the two girls as well."

Lotus pursed her lips and smiled embarrassedly, feeling a little less nervous. Just as she was about to leave after changing her clothes, Jiaoniang stopped her, "You just changed into a clean set of clothes and you want to go out and get wet? "Why don't we have lunch, and go back with an umbrella when it rains later?"

However, Jiaoniang was a strange person. She saw that the oil-paper umbrella had a sense of time and thought about how the ancient female official was holding onto the oil-paper umbrella and walking in the drizzle, but unfortunately, she didn't have the chance to practice it, and could only give this opportunity to Lotus.

Lotus couldn't break her, so she stayed back at Jiaoniang's house and sat in the lobby helping Wang Meihua to weave hemp. Although they already had cotton clothing, it was still relatively scarce. The use of cotton clothing was still relatively large, and almost every household had a habit of rubbing their clothes until they became numb.

Jiaoniang had nothing to do these past few days, so he tried to think of a way to sell the soap in the warehouse. After thinking about it, he decided that he could only rely on the effects of the advertising campaign.

Tieh Dan and Orchid played with water in the courtyard before entering the house to take a hot bath. Each of them used a bowl of ginger soup to change into clean clothes, and Lotus saw that the two of them had an extremely close relationship, talking and laughing amongst themselves, and when she thought of her eldest daughter, Li Ling'er, and Tieh Dan's age, she had long become very sensible. She knew that she had spent all her time and effort to please her family, and her mouth was extremely sweet.

That child rarely went out to play, and there were even a few times when Jiaoniang saw Li Ling'er hugging his little sister and crying non-stop in front of her house. Even the adults at home would go to work in the fields, she would cook and take care of children at such a young age, and would greet Jiaoniang sweetly whenever she saw him.

At most, Hehua's mother would only take her in as his daughter, so she could not be said to have a better life for her children. After all, there were a lot of people at home, if not because their family situation was good, they would not have been able to take their mother in.
