Chapter 174: Dilemma

After Zhou Lan left, Ye Xiaoying hurriedly closed the door and returned to the old house.

The adjacent Zhou Lan's house has been completely submerged, and a lot of mud has fallen into their roof, as well as the courtyard, so that the vegetable field that my cousin had planted in the southeast corner has been submerged.

But the rabbit on the other side is actually fine, which is a blessing in misfortune.

Li Tiezhu had already begun to clear the mud in the yard, but the pile of a small hill could not. The mud carries the smell of the soil, which makes the whole yard exude a foul smell.

Ye Xiaoying sat on the threshold, and when she turned around, she only saw that the wind in the backyard was blowing, and her whole heart was cold, how could this be good? It seems that it will take several months to completely clean it up.

But if Zhou Lan gave up her home, they would never be neighbors to a mud mountain. After a while, Li Tiezhu was sweating profusely, and after he wiped it, he sat aside and fanned to rest.

Ye Xiaoying asked him while wiping his sweat.

"The yard in front is fine, there will always be a day when it will be cleared, but what about the backyard?" The entrance to the backyard was still tightly blocked by the mud that had slipped down.

"This one will find the village chief, and he will always solve it for me." Ye Xiaoying believes in the enthusiasm of the village chief. It's just that this kind of disaster can't be called a disaster at all, just one or two, I'm afraid it won't be taken seriously.

Ye Xiaoying walked to the other side, looked at the chickens and rabbits, and the hard-working old cow raised on the side, she said in a low voice:

"It seems that these still have to be brought to the entrance of the village, and they can't be allowed to linger here anymore! They are not human beings, but they are alive. ”

"Lady, listen to you!"

Li Tiezhu was about to do it again with the iron tree, but Ye Xiaoying shook her head, "If the Zhou Lan family doesn't clean up first, our will be affected again at that time, so it is very likely that this time it will be in vain." ”

Just now he was so tired that he was panting like a cow, Ye Xiaoying was also distressed when he saw it, and after listening to her words, Li Tiezhu was also obedient.

For the next few days, the village was quiet, as if the dangers of that day had never happened.

Zhou Lan and Xiaohong lived in the village chief's house with peace of mind, and the village chief casually laid the floor in a house, but it was not a long-term solution after all.

He recruited the villagers, hoping that they would have the money to contribute and make a strong contribution, so that Zhou Lan would not be left homeless.

It's just that many people waved their hands again and again after hearing this: "Village chief, it's not that we don't want to help her, you take a look at the muddy mountain of her house, how can you settle down, how can you clean it up without a month?" Who cares about our food and drink this month, and who cares about our silver? ”

His words resonated with many people, all of them have wives and children, and it is impossible to be busy at Zhou Lan's house day and night out of love, and they mean that the village chief brought Zhou Lan.

Zhou Lan gritted her teeth angrily, "When I came, one by one I came to complain and took away a lot of silver...... she suddenly patted her head, "What about the account book?" ”

"Ma'am," said Hong, blinking her eyes, "isn't the ledger wrapped in a piece of oiled paper and buried in the ground?" ”

Zhou Lan's brain turned quickly and she reacted yes, and then she said happily to the village chief: "I remember, the silver they borrowed from me has been dozens of taels one after another!"

Isn't it enough to dig in the mud for a few days with so much silver? Tell them, and if they don't want to do it, let them pay them back!" “

The village chief looked embarrassed, "So now that I have no evidence in my hands, who will believe it?" You go and get the ledger out, and then they won't be able to cheat! ”

Zhou Lan made it up casually, "Since the ledger is buried in the yard of my house, the yard is full of mud, and we can't even find it at the beginning of our footsteps, so how can we dig it?" ”

It's also true, the village chief fell into a dilemma again, but at this moment he suddenly had an idea,

"It's just like this, Xiaoying has prestige among everyone, everyone will have a little problem, she will always ask her, just discuss it with her, you two families are together, your lips are cold, she will not ignore you after all."

It's her again! mentioned Ye Xiaoying, Zhou Lan was angry, and smashed the curtain without saying a word with a black face.

The village chief trembled angrily, pointed at Zhou Lan and said to Xiaohong: "Look at her attitude, this is in my house to show my face!" ”

Now she is not as rich as before, so anyone can be bullied.

The more she thought about it, the more bitter she became, Zhou Lan couldn't help but whimper and cry in the room, the voice gradually spread outside, the village chief was afraid of her, and hurriedly said to Xiaohong: "Okay, really, you take a good look at her, I'll go find Ye Xiaoying!" ”

As soon as he left, Xiaohong knocked on the door immediately, Zhou Lan had already stopped crying, she poked her head out and asked in a low voice, "Really went?" ”

Xiaohong nodded, but she still looked stunned, "Madam, how can we have any account books?" I was soaked in mud for a long time, hey, I really should have thought of a foolproof plan at that time, but I never thought that such a thing would happen! ”

Behind their house was a steep hill, and they had it cut down because the trees were so tall that they had shaded the sun.

First, to build the terrace, and secondly, to get a good day, I never thought that the heavy rain for a period of time would soak the soil and slide down, submerging the whole house, leaving only the slightly exposed roof struggling in the mud.

Now she has nothing, so she has to hope for the distance.

Zhou Lan paced around the room, and then she took the earrings off her ears and handed them to Xiaohong's hands.

"This pair of you will first take it to someone else's house to exchange for some food." The village chief's family will soon run out of food, after all, they need to plan early. "If there's anything left, you can go to town and buy some of the things we're going to use."

Because she slept at night, Zhou Lan didn't bring extra hairpin rings, and the pearls on the earrings were only a little bit of Zhuzi, although the villagers sympathized with her, but their lives were not very easy after all, and finally Xiaohong hugged a whole bag of rice.

At this time, the village chief had returned, and the village chief was pleasant.

"That's right, in fact, we have always thought that we can only hope for your lord now, a few months have passed, it seems that his condition has stabilized, you two should go to him."

"When did you get the idea?" "Madame won't agree." ”

"So you need to persuade her first, and think about how dangerous it is for you two girls to be outcast! Returning to your home early to reunite with your family is the best way to go! ”

The village chief didn't understand, and Xiaohong didn't want to explain to him, so she bowed her head and moved forward in silence.
