Yan Zi and the two children didn't know what to say. After all, those people were the third child's biological brother and mother. Even if the family was divided, the blood relationship was still there and would not be severed so easily.

Nier saw that the water in the pot had boiled, so she filled a bowl and brought it to her father.

"Don't be sad. Our life is much better now than before, isn't it?"

The third brother took it and felt warm in his heart. Yes, if they were not living a good life now, they would not come here again and again to ask for things. It did make him feel better when he thought about it this way.

But it’s hard to accept that they not only took things, but also destroyed the house that I worked so hard to get.

Nier thought about how the foreman had said when the house was first being built that the house wasn't very sturdy. Because it was always raining and they were rushing to build it, they didn't expect it to last long.

Now that this has happened, I might as well make more money and build a blue brick house so that they can only see but not eat. If they are caught, they can kick the wall again. Don't hurt my uncle's leg then.

After a flood, it is best not to live in the soaked house, because the water is very dirty, and the dirt is difficult to clean up. People living in such a house will easily get sick. It would be better if the house really collapsed, otherwise Dad would definitely take a lot of effort to clean it up.

But it’s better not to tell Dad about this. If he really forgives them, it won’t be a good thing. It’s better to wait until he has accumulated enough disappointment and wants to completely break away from that family.

Niu Li felt distressed when he saw his father frowning there, so he quickly started a separate conversation.

"Dad, don't think about those things. We are all hungry."

The third brother then stopped thinking about those things and began to concentrate on cooking.

The man didn't mean to leave. He thought since he hadn't started eating yet, he might as well chat for a while longer.

"Hey, when did you come up here?"

The third child was busy with his hands. It was a little late compared to usual time and the children were starving.

My wife was pregnant with a baby, so neither of us could stand the hunger. We quickly prepared the food, ate the meal and took a rest. We were very tired from packing up and going up the mountain all day.

"The three of them came up early, and I pulled the donkey cart up and down several times. It took quite a while."

The man realized that they might not know what was happening down the mountain.

"There's a flood, did you know that?"

The rest of the people were all surprised, especially the third one. They didn't expect that there would really be a flood. They had thought that if there was no flood, they would stay on the mountain until the water receded and then go home. But they realized that their house was already submerged in water.

"Huh? Really?"

The man was probably tired of standing, so he squatted on the ground, clasped his hands in his arms, and spoke with his head raised.

"Of course, why would I lie to you?"

I watched the third brother put everything into the pot. He worked very efficiently and we would be able to eat it soon.

Anyway, I had said everything I needed to say, so I stood up and was about to leave.

"By the way, my wife should have finished cooking, so I have to go back."

The third brother wanted to grab the man's arm, but he was walking too fast and missed it. He could only shout at his back.

"Hey~ Stay and eat together."

Afraid that they would keep him for dinner, he quickened his pace without even looking back.

"No, I'll go back and eat with my wife."

The sound seemed to be getting farther and farther away until there was no figure left.

When Yan Zi smelled the fragrant aroma wafting out of the pot, her appetite came out and she couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She was indeed hungry.

I haven't climbed a mountain for a long time and I have a big belly. I am very tired today. It's cold on the mountain and I get hungry even faster.

I couldn't help but ask.

"When can we eat it?"

The third son thought his wife must be hungry, so he opened the lid of the pot. The aroma became even stronger, so he picked out some cooked vegetables, put them in a bowl, and let her eat first.

Yan Zi gladly took it. Ni'er and Niu Li both knew that their mother was not being pretentious. If she was hungry, she would have acid reflux and feel very uncomfortable in her stomach. She would feel much better if she ate something quickly.

"Let's eat after the dishes in the pot are cooked. Let your mother fill her stomach first, otherwise she will feel uncomfortable."

Niu Li couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth as he watched his mother wolfing down the food.

He turned around and said with a smile, "I know, Dad. When the meat in the pot is cooked, add a few pieces for Mom."

"Dad, have you ever seen what a flood looks like?"

the other side.

The second brother searched for a long time and was soaked all over. Fortunately, the rain was not so heavy now.

I wiped the water off my face and saw a place that was not bad. It was relatively dry because the ground was blocked by trees and not completely wet.

Get ready to go back, carry the old lady over, and rest here tonight.

Fortunately, it’s not too far away, otherwise I would have just said that I couldn’t find it. Anyway, I’ll just make do wherever I am.

Mark it and return directly.

When I walked to a crowded place, I heard chirping sounds in my ears.

It was so cold that we couldn't sleep. Some people had dinner but some ran out without taking all their food with them, leaving them with nothing to eat.

It was raining and dark, so it was not convenient to go to the mountains to pick fruits. I could only bear it and chat a little to divert my attention so that the hunger would not feel so obvious.

If you listen carefully to what they are saying, it won't be so boring.

"Hey, I heard that some family members thought there would be no flood, so they didn't go up the mountain. I don't know what's going on with them now."

"That's not a good thing."

"Who said it wasn't true? At this moment, why are you so confused and playing with your life?"

"They think this is alarmist. There hasn't been a flood in so many years, how come it happened this time?"

"I tried to persuade them with good intentions, but they drove me out and said I was cursing them. What a stubborn family you are."

"It's really terrible that you don't listen to my advice. I don't know when the water will recede. The water is so high that the house will be flooded."

"Yes, there are still some things I didn't bring with me. Although I put them up high, I hope they are OK. But the crops in the field have suffered. I worked hard all summer, but in the end I got nothing. I don't know how I will survive this winter. I think it would be better not to go up the mountain, so I don't have this worry."

"You can't think like that. Now the crops of the whole village have been flooded. The higher-ups will definitely have to intervene."

"What if we don't do anything? Haven't we encountered many refugees begging for food over the years?"

"We have to survive anyway. There is always a way out."

The second son had already seen his wife and ran over, "Mom, let's go, I found a good place."

The boss also came over to rest at this time, "Let's go then."

As they spoke, the two of them carried the stretcher and walked towards the treasure land that the second brother had found.

Fugui was so hungry that he would have opened his mouth long ago if it were any other time.

Now grandma likes Man Slam and doesn’t like herself as much, and she even makes him sit on a stretcher.
