Chapter 102
"Oh! That's such a pity. An extra chicken fell into the cage at my house today. It came here by itself. I don't know if it's your chicken. Why don't you come in and take a look?"

Wu Laohan quickly waved his hand, "How is that possible? My chicken knows the way and cannot run to your house. It must have been left outside."

Wu Juhua laughed dryly and said a lot of regretful words.

After saying goodbye, she closed the courtyard door and hurried to the chicken coop to count it. There was indeed one extra chicken. As for how it came about, it didn't matter. It didn't matter at all.

During dinner, Cao Yong told Shen Qing's instructions.

Cao Dahai was silent after hearing this, and Da Ya didn't say anything either. Er Ya chirped, "What? There's a flood. Will our house be destroyed? Where can we hide? It's over, it's over, I'm going to find a place to take refuge. Oops!" "

Wu Juhua knocked her on the head fiercely, "Crow Mouth, if you dare to say a word again, I will slap your mouth!" The wheat in the field has not yet been confiscated, and Ma is waiting for two more sunny days to harvest the wheat.

She can't even hear the word "rain" now, let alone the word "flood". This is simply cursing their family to have no harvest!
After scolding her little daughter, ignoring her tears, Wu Juhua pointed the barrel at Cao Yong again, so angry that she didn't even know what to scold.

"You, you, she is only a little older, and you just listen to her and believe whatever she says. If she says that your mother is a monster, do you believe it too?"

"Pfft!" Erya laughed through tears, only to be glared at by her mother again.

Cao Yong argued: "It wasn't her who said it, it was Uncle Huo. The old man knew how to look at the sky and said there might be a big flood this year. He told us to prepare. The wheat in the fields must be harvested quickly without any further delay."

"Bah! These old men in our village are no older than him, and are they not more accurate than him? Hum! It rained the night before, and now the drying ground is wet. Where can we put the wheat after we pick it up? What if we pile it up and cover it? , it’s going to get moldy, why don’t you have some brains?”

Cao Yong couldn't defeat her, so he just kept eating.

Cao Dahai spoke at this time. He looked at Wu Juhua seriously, "This is a kind reminder from my niece. There is no harm in it. Are you overthinking it?"

Wu Juhua's anger did not diminish at all, "Am I overthinking? Stop talking about that. I think she just doesn't want to see our family live well." She was also angry with Shen Qing for not giving her face during her sister's marriage.

During the funeral, she took Wu Laohan with her. When she was about to leave, Shen Qing sent her out and made some strange remarks, which made her very angry.

Even now she can't get over it, and she won't ask Da Ya Er Ya to go to her house again, even if she can earn wages, she has to fight for it.

Cao Dahai was very calm, "Then we agreed. Shen Qing warned us. If there is a flood later, our family will also be affected. You can't blame her for not reminding her."

Wu Juhua waved her hand generously, "I don't complain, I don't blame her even if I lose everything, huh! A thirteen-year-old girl, she has to pretend to understand if she doesn't understand. Disaster, look where she puts her face!"

Cao Dahai sighed. He knew he couldn't defeat his wife, so he didn't say anything more. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he also felt that the possibility of a flood was unlikely, but he appreciated it.

Cao Yong stopped continuing this topic. Anyway, he had already said that it was none of his business what happened in the future.

Da Ya and Er Ya buried their heads in eating, not caring about what happened.

In Xinghua Village, Shen Youxin also received the news sent by Shen Qing. On Shen Changfu's side, Huo Lin personally came to deliver the letter.

Shen Qing attributes all predictions to Mr. Huo, so they will naturally not become suspicious.

Shen Changfu looked at the sky and didn't believe it, but he was still ready to start cutting the wheat. No matter what, he would take it back first.

Zhou Laidi is more thoughtful. She feels that Shen Qing is a disgusting girl, but she is also extremely smart. She still has great ideas on big things. Since she said it, it is better to make some preparations.

Their house was on a slightly higher ground, so she took a shovel to dig trenches morning and night.As long as the drainage is done well, no matter how heavy the rain is, you won’t be afraid.

Besides, their house had just been built a few years ago and the foundation was solid. As long as there was no flash flood, it would be no big deal.

She also asked someone to buy grain and grass, and stocked up on some lard.

He also asked Shen Changfu to repair the house if he had nothing to do. Anyway, it wouldn't hurt to repair the roof more.

Shen Changfu felt that she was doing something unnecessary. Shen Yan was preoccupied with thinking about why Shen Qing still didn't act and whether he saw anyone. Shen Feng squatted at the entrance of the village every day, gathering together with a group of friends to whisper.

Shen Qing gave him a lot of benefits and asked him to be his spy.

If there is delicious food, Shen Feng can sell it to anyone, and he has won over a bunch of friends.

If any parent hides and speaks ill of Shen Qing's family, he will find out the next day and secretly ask others to do some damage.

For example, when someone is going to the toilet, he suddenly throws stones into the pit.

Another example is driving other people's chickens and ducks away so that they can't find them. Dogs and cows will all suffer.

Anyway, he never made big mistakes, but kept making small ones, and he never tired of doing bad things. After many people in the village found out about it, they started knocking on their door.

Zhou Laidi was extremely protective of her son. She placed her hands on her waist at the door to protect her son tightly. If she couldn't protect her son, she would just sit on the ground and cry while accusing them of bullying. Others couldn't trouble her, so she had to give up.

Back to Shen Qing, this amount of food was not enough. Considering that after the disaster, unscrupulous merchants would increase prices. In order to ensure that her family would not go hungry, she could only stock up on more food.

In addition to rice and fine noodles, the more whole grains the better.

She took Huo Lin, caught up with the donkey cart and went to the county town again. The pharmacy in the town was still too small. She needed anti-epidemic herbs. After a major disaster, there would be a big epidemic, which was inevitable. In addition, she bought it from the county town. One hundred pounds of quicklime.

After that, Huolin went to town every morning to buy food. When people asked, he would say that there was a wedding at home. His brother was getting married and a banquet was needed. This was a good excuse.

The Fan family in the mountains saw how hard they were hoarding food, which made them panic and ran to buy some. There were not many apprentices who could farm in the mountains, so most of the food for people had to be bought.

Shen Qing moved that theory again, and Old Man Huo was helpless. He just had more life experience than them, and he was not a magician. In fact, he did not approve of Shen Qing's troubles. It would be a pity to let such food go bad. Ah, but Shen Qing didn't listen to what he said.

Not only did she not listen to his words, Grandma Shen kept nagging her from morning to night, saying that she was possessed by ghosts, her brain was muddled, and she was not awake. Shen Qing also just turned a deaf ear. The old lady liked to talk, so just let her talk. It doesn't affect her in any way.

Grandma Shen was so angry that she wanted to confiscate the financial power.

The money was placed in front of her. If Shen Qing wanted to spend it, he had to ask her for it, so that he could restrain himself.

But Shen Qing just glanced at her indifferently. This look was cold, indifferent, and somewhat powerful, which made Granny Shen unable to speak any more.

So, the stocking up plan was carried out.
