"I'm not going!" After listening to Xie Mulin's narration, Mrs. Xie categorically rejected the suggestion to move into Xie's Jiajiao.

She thinks that Zongfang is just alarmist: "From Huguang, southern Zhejiang to Huyin, how many big cities and towns are there along the way?" And how much land is there? Even if there are displaced people, they will go to those places first, where can it be the turn of a small place like Huyin? Zongfang is just bluffing, you really believe it! ”

She glanced at her granddaughter a few times and snorted a few times: "Could it be that this is your new trick to coax me into Xie Jiajiao?" I couldn't reason before, I couldn't scold me, but now I have switched to scaring people? ”

Xie Mulin listened to it funny, but when he thought of the words of his sister-in-law Chen, he also knew that there was no basis now, and it was impossible to persuade Mrs. Xie, and she would not say more, anyway, when the news of the real entry of the displaced people came, Mrs. Xie would always be afraid. The old house is only a two-quarter hour waterway from Xiejiajiao, which is very close.

She only took another thing and then persuaded the old lady: "Even if you are not a homeless, what about the heavy rain?" In case of heavy flooding, do you want to stay in the old house and not leave? Don't forget, this Xie Jiawan suffered a disaster eight years ago! Although our house has been renovated, there is no foundation or reinforcement of the embankment in front of the gate, and there is still a possibility that the river will flood the gate. Even if you live in the back building, you can move to the second floor at any time, but it is impossible for all the men, women and children in this house to squeeze to the second floor, right? ”

Old Madam Xie hesitated for a moment, and then continued to stiffen her neck and say, "Where is it so easy for the river to flood into our house?" Now that it hasn't rained yet, what are you telling me about waterlogging or not, and you're not bluffing?! Even if it does rain heavily for a few days, it does not mean that there will be a disaster. Didn't it rain for a few days in the summer? At that time, they all said that it was going to be flooded, but in fact, there was nothing at all, that is, there was water in the yard, and it was inconvenient to move around. I am also a person who has lived in Huyin County for more than ten years, but I still don't know the climate here? In what spring and summer doesn't it rain at every turn? It is not uncommon for rain to rain after the Mid-Autumn Festival. If you want to persuade me to move out, you have to wait until the river overflows to the gate of our house! ”

If you really wait until the river floods in front of the old house, it's too late to leave, right?

Xie Mulin was a little annoyed in his heart, but he still held back his anger: "The grandmother of the sect's eldest uncle has spoken, even if you move back to the new house, no one will come to disturb you." You just think you're living in a different place and people just ignore it. Wouldn't that work too? ”

Old Mrs. Xie felt that it was not good, and she was even a little annoyed: "Who wants the sect to be pitiful?" Didn't Tu Shi Mo think that if she asked me to go back, I would be grateful to Dade? I want to go back, I can go back at any time, when do I need the permission of the sect?! ”

Xie Mulin was too lazy to expose the fig leaf of Old Lady Xie, if she really wanted to go back to the Xie family, what was she doing now in the old mansion? Do you really want this place to be quiet enough and the scenery beautiful enough?

She pursed her lips and decided to give in a little way: "Then if you don't go back to Xie Jiajiao and live in another place, okay?" I asked someone to rent you a house in the county town, and if you move there, not only will it be safer than the old house, but you won't have to see the people in the clan. Let's keep a low profile, and don't let the people who know you in Huyin County know the news. When the danger recedes and you move back, it's the same. The weather is getting colder by the day, and the city is always warmer than the suburbs. ”

Xie Mulin thought that she had swallowed her anger very much, if it wasn't for the personal safety of Old Lady Xie and all the people in the old mansion, how could she make such a suggestion? Do you really think that the rent of houses in Huyin County is very cheap?

However, Mrs. Xie still didn't appreciate it: "I don't want to go to the county seat, it's not that I'm afraid to meet those who know me, it's that the houses there are too cramped!" In the past, our family also had a house in the county, and it was not comfortable at all. I'd rather stay in this old mansion! What's the matter with the cold? Just burn a few more braziers. ”

She also said to Xie Mulin: "You can go wherever you fall in love, you don't have to persuade me again." Anyway, there are people around me waiting for me, no more than you, no less than you. Maybe if you don't get angry with me a few times, I'll live longer! As soon as you leave, I will close the door and live, just buy more grain, meat and vegetables, and live the same life when the flood comes, how many homeless people can I be afraid of? ”

Xie Mulin couldn't help but sneer: "It seems that the old lady is really going to stay in this old mansion, whether it is a big flood or a homeless person, it can't make you change your mind, right?" ”

"That's right!" Old Lady Xie raised her chin proudly, "So you don't have to be verbose here, just leave if you want to!" But if you do leave, don't blame me for complaining to your father. You are here to serve me, you left your elders and fled halfway, greedy for life and afraid of death, you and the three girls are just ordinary goods. ”

Xie Mulin rolled his eyes directly, turned around and walked out of the room.

Ma Lu Yao's family had been standing in the courtyard, listening to the conversation in the house from beginning to end, frowning between their brows and showing a worried face.

As soon as Xie Mulin came out, she immediately greeted her: "Second girl, what should we do now?" If the old lady refuses to leave......"

Xie Mulin interrupted her: "Whether she wants to or not is her business, whether she wants to take her away is my business." Now that the rain has not yet fallen, the displaced people have not yet come, we just need to take precautions in advance. Send people to Pingwang Town to inquire about the news, where merchants from the north and south gather, the flow of people is large, and the news is much better than that of Huyin County. Then send someone to the upper reaches of the river to pay attention to the river situation, and once you see that it is not good, you will immediately rush back to report!

"Boats, water, clothing, medicines, gold and silver, and things to protect from rain and cold, we must prepare them in advance, and we must also stock up on planks that can float on the water, and keep the boats ready to sail at any time, and it is forbidden for people to eat or drink. If nothing happens, then it would be better, we just spent some money and worked in vain; In the event of an accident, whether it is a flood or a homeless person, we can immediately escape from Xiejiawan! ”

Ma Lu Yaojia nodded once after listening to a sentence, and he had a backbone in his heart, and he immediately settled down. But she still has a hidden worry: "What if the old lady still refuses to leave at that time?" If the girl really abandons her, she will not be able to have a reputation in the future! ”

Xie Mulin tugged at the corners of his mouth: "So I won't do such a stupid thing." At that moment, it's a big deal to ask the servant woman to pick her up and leave, can she still struggle to escape? She thought it was beautiful, and she thought that with the people of this house waiting for her, she would be foolproof, and she really hadn't experienced a truly terrible disaster to have such a naïve idea. She wants to die herself, and I won't ask the innocent men and women of this house to bury her! ”
