The Vicious Fat Wife Dressed as a Disabled General

Chapter 44

It was obviously raining!

I dare say that she drank for so long, all she drank was the rainwater that leaked from the roof.

Jiang Zhinuan, who woke up, instantly felt an earthy smell in his mouth, which was bitter to death.

"Bah bah bah..."

Don't you think it's strange? The thatched cottage, which is not too big or small, leaks rain just where she sleeps. Jiang Zhinuan endured the discomfort and got up and opened the door to have a look.

The cold wind whistling and pouring rain poured into the room in an instant, dousing her all over.

Jiang Zhinuan hastily shut the stormy weather outside the house.

It's only early spring, and it's rare to see such heavy rain.

Di Qing woke up after hearing the noise, and saw that Jiang Zhinuan's pillow was already wet by the rain, so he quickly got up on crutches.

"It's raining?"

Jiang Zhinuan nodded: "It's not too small! I don't know if this thatched cottage can hold up."

Di Qing moved to the corner and took down the hanging coir raincoat for later use, while Jiang Zhinuan looked up and observed that only the place where she slept was leaking rain, so she took a wooden basin to catch it, so that the children's sleep would not be affected.

It's almost dawn, and we can't repair the house even if it's raining, so we'd better stick to it until dawn.

Anyway, she felt uncomfortable all over and couldn't sleep.

Jiang Zhinuan moved a small stool and sat on the edge of the bed, turned to Di Qing and said, "Go on to sleep, I can't sleep anyway, I'll keep an eye on it."

Di Qing looked at his chair and said to Jiang Zhinuan, "Sit on my chair and sleep. This chair is wide and strong, no problem."

Jiang Zhinuan refused, Di Qing tossed with her for most of the night and still didn't get much sleep, she herself was uncomfortable anyway, and couldn't sleep in a daze, so why bother Di Qing couldn't rest well.

In other words, the wheelchair is already ready, and the wooden bed where Di Qing sleeps should also be put on the agenda.

Thinking of the wooden bed, Jiang Zhinuan suddenly thought of the bamboo drying in the yard!
Last night she looked at the sky and felt that it was going to rain, so she tidied up the yard, but she forgot to put away the bamboo. Di Qing said that the bamboo needs to be dried to make a bamboo raft. After two days in the sun, wouldn't all previous efforts be for naught in the rain?
Jiang Zhinuan patted his forehead regretfully, and regardless of the heavy wind and rain outside, he got up to collect bamboo.

Di Qing felt helpless, and he couldn't help even if he wanted to, so he could only persuade her: "Bamboo is not afraid of rain, at worst, it will be in the sun for two more days."

How dare Jiang Zhinuan agree!
When Di Qing said it would take at least three days to dry, Jiang Zhinuan couldn't wait, but she could only reluctantly accept it. Now that she has to dry for a few more days, she really can't wait.

She can't wait to get her duck farm in order, so if someone finds out that such a treasured place of geomantic omen has been taken, she will have nowhere to cry.

"Go to sleep, leave me alone, I have to go and put away the bamboo."

Di Qing couldn't help but hand her the coir raincoat: "Wear it better, it's cold and windy and rainy at night, so don't catch a cold."

Jiang Zhinuan had already showered her head once, and her clothes were still wet, but in order to reassure Di Qing, she still put on the coir raincoat that was obviously much smaller on her body.

The yard was already full of mud, and the lantern Jiang Zhinuan was carrying was blown out by the wind as soon as he went out. It was pitch black outside, and he couldn't see his feet clearly.

As unlucky as you can get!

Jiang Zhinuan got up and wiped his face casually, and went to the kitchen first. Fortunately, there was no rain in the kitchen, and Jiang Zhinuan moved the bamboo poles drying in the corner to the kitchen one by one.

The rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, with no intention of stopping.

Jiang Zhinuan poured a bucket of cold water by the well, simply washed off the mud on her body, and then returned to the house. The cold wind made her shiver uncontrollably.

But the situation in this house is not optimistic. At first, it was only the place where Jiang Zhinuan slept was leaking. When she returned to the house, she found that there were no less than a dozen places where the rain was leaking.

Di Qing moved the two children first, but seeing that there were more and more places where the rain leaked, there was almost no place to pile up the things on the bed.

Jiang Zhinuan took a look, took off his coir raincoat and decided to move the bed.

We must find a place where the rain does not leak and move the bed, otherwise the bedding on this bed will be ruined!

The thatched hut was not big, and a bed took up most of the place. Jiang Zhinuan looked left and right, only the place near the door was not leaking.

Her three-hundred-pound physique still had some strength, so she moved the bed by herself.

Di Qing leaned against the door panel in a wheelchair, blocking the cold wind blowing in through the crack of the door.

Looking at the mess in the house, both of them lost sleepiness, but fortunately, the children were at ease, and they slept soundly even after being tossed about in sleep.

Jiang Zhinuan took off the wet clothes on his body, his face was still stained with mud, and the rash on his body was still itchy and painful.

It's a bit miserable to live like this.

But isn't this the life of most ordinary people?
There are very few rich people in this world, how many ordinary people spend their days facing the loess and their backs to the sky, there are probably many people in this world who are not as good as they are.

Jiang Zhinuan knew that if he wanted to change his current life, he had to work with his own hands.

She must set up the duck farm as soon as possible, and she must earn money as soon as possible to give the children a sheltered home.

Heavy rain washed over the night.

When the sun rose, it finally stopped.

The sun came out, and the yard became swelteringly hot.

Jiang Zhinuan lay on the bed and fell asleep, Di Qing opened the door carefully, and there was a human-shaped pit outside the door that was very eye-catching.

As soon as Jiang Zhinuan went out last night, he fell into the mud and smashed the rain-soaked mud into a human-shaped crater!
Di Qing had no choice but to go out in a wheelchair by himself, and took a shovel to fill up the hole first, so that Jiang Zhinuan would not hurt his pride when he woke up and saw it.

Zhang Abo had said it when he came to eat at home before, that their thatched cottage should be repaired, otherwise they wouldn't survive the rainy season, Di Qing didn't take it to heart.

After all, there is still a long time until the summer rainy season.

But he didn't expect that their thatched cottage could not even survive a heavy rain in spring.

Right now, he has a wheelchair to travel around, and in his arms is the money Jiang Zhinuan earned these days, which is about 1000 copper coins, worth more than one or two taels of silver.

The money is enough to feed their family of four for several months, but it is very important to repair the house right now, so he has to go out to find workers to inquire about.

The wheelchair is very convenient. Although the speed is not as good as that of ordinary people, it is much faster than when he was on crutches before.

Di Qing went straight to the market, and asked someone to find out, just to re-powder the roof of the thatched house would cost a whole two taels of silver!

He squeezed his wallet, and in the end he just inquired in detail about the materials needed for the roof, planning to collect the materials himself and then ask a worker to help repair them.

Everyone knew that the Jiang family was poor and had no money at the moment, so someone pointed the way and asked Di Qing to go to a cloth store to buy linoleum, which would last a year and be cheap.

After all, he was short of money, so Di Qing could only thank him and went to a cloth store to buy linoleum.

The linoleum cloth that can cover the entire thatched cottage cost a total of three hundred Wen. When Di Qing brought the things back, Jiang Zhinuan was already anxious to go out to find him.
