In the book, she became the daughter of a vicious villain who died early

"Boom boom boom..."

"Boom boom boom..."

.......

"Is that the sound of a gong?" Liu asked uncertainly.

"Yes."

Lin Boyu and Lin Shiyu listened quietly for a while and answered.

It was raining heavily outside, so the sound was not clear.

"What happened again?"

The sound of the gong became more and more urgent. Liu found her straw raincoat, hat and umbrella and planned to go out for a look.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Before Liu could go over and open the door, Lin Anji's voice was heard outside the door.

"The fields are flooded. I'll go over and take a look. I'll help yours as well. You guys just stay home."

Liu responded loudly, and then there was no sound outside the house.

The fields of Yamada Village are almost all in the low-lying area near the lower half of the village.

This time the rain was so heavy that it directly flooded the fields.

A villager who went out on patrol in the heavy rain discovered this phenomenon and quickly notified the village chief.

Then there was the sound of gongs.

Liu looked outside the yard worriedly and sighed from time to time.

The gate of the yard was closed tightly, and you couldn't see what was going on outside at all.

But, the sound of gongs and drums has begun in the village, and the situation...is not going to get any better.

This is the third time this year.

The third time, the people’s hope of survival was destroyed.

Lin Anji asked Liu not to go out, but Liu finally went out.

But she didn't go to the fields. Instead, she opened the gate and came to the big house.

In the big room,

Sun ran around the house with her two children.

The water in the house is leaking like a sieve.

Pots, pans, and anything that could hold water were used.

All of them were placed in places where the rain was leaking.

The leaking rain would fill up all the bowls and basins in a short time.

Once the water tank was full, the three of them had to take it out and pour it out immediately, otherwise the whole house would be wet.

As soon as Liu came in, Sun felt like she had seen her savior.

She took off Liu's raincoat and hat and put them on herself:

"Sister-in-law, help me pour the water first, I'll go fix the roof."

Without waiting for Liu's response, she hurried to get the ladder.

The roof of the big house is made of straw and will leak if it rains too much.

Maybe it was because the rain was too heavy this time, or maybe it was because the roof was damaged by the previous locust plague, so there were so many leaks this time.

After Sun went out for a while, the leaking areas gradually became smaller.

"There's not enough straw at home. I'm going to get some from the old house and check on my parents. Sister-in-law, please wait here for a while. I'll return the raincoat to you later."

"Go ahead. It's okay if you take your time. I'm not in a hurry."

After hearing what Liu said, Sun went out.

Although the leaking spots in the main room had been repaired by Sun and had decreased a lot, there were still many that had not been repaired, so Liu continued to help pour out the water.

The rain lightened a little, but it didn't stop.

Sun had been out for half an hour and had not returned yet, so Liu knew that something needed help at the old house.

She was a little worried about the two little ones at home, but when she thought about Lin Shiyu, who had an adult soul, her worries were reduced a lot, and she decided to continue staying in the big house.

The two children of the eldest wife are real little kids. They must be very scared in the bad weather without any adults accompanying them.

Lin Anji came back earlier than Sun.

Knowing that Sun had gone to the old house for a long time and had not returned yet, he hurried out again without even telling Liu about the situation of the fields.

"Aunt San, if the rain keeps falling, will the house get soaked?"

Hearing this, Liu smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, even if we have to flood, the lower half of the village will be flooded first. Look at the river ahead, wait until the water level there exceeds the bridge before you worry about whether your home will be flooded."

Lin Shiyi looked at the river and breathed a sigh of relief.

The water level in the river had risen only slightly, and it seemed that the fields were flooded only because they were the lowest points in the village.

You can comfort your children with your words, but you can't comfort yourself.

If it keeps raining, water will definitely come up. Before the water comes up and collapses, the houses in the village may collapse before the water comes up.

These are all homemade mud brick walls, and no good materials were used. They are dangerous!

Lin Anji was out for about half an hour, and then he came back with Sun.

The two children from the eldest room jumped forward happily when they saw their parents, but were stopped by the two.

"Are mom and dad okay? But is there something wrong with the old house?"

Sun took off her straw raincoat and answered, "They are fine. It's just that there was a water leak in the house and the food got wet, so we were delayed for a while."

"It's good that he's okay." Liu breathed a sigh of relief, then asked Lin Anji, "Brother, how's the situation in the field?"

The people present turned their eyes to Lin Anji, and they were also concerned about the situation in the field.

"It rained so hard that the ground was soaked. When I went there, I dug a canal to drain the water out of the ground." Lin Anji frowned, "If the rain doesn't stop, the water level will soon be level with the fields. By then, drainage may be useless."

When he returned home, the villagers were still guarding the fields, fearing that the fields would be soaked again.

Even though they were caught, there was nothing they could do.

The four of them felt heavy in their hearts after hearing this. Food is very important, and this is something even children know.

Sun warned the two children on the spot to keep their mouths shut and not to tell anyone that there was grain stored at home.

The two little ones nodded repeatedly and promised not to tell anyone about it outside.

Knowing that her son was a woman, Sun was reassured by their promise.

"Since you guys are back, I'll go back first. I'm afraid the two at home will worry if I stay out for so long."

"Yes, yes, yes, go back quickly." Sun quickly handed her the raincoat.

"I will check the situation in the field again in the evening. If there is anything, I will go to your house to tell you. When you go home, close the door and stay at home with the children. Don't go out." Lin Anji instructed.

There was no man at home in the third room, and Liu, the eldest of the families, was a weak one.

Whether it was because of his third brother's request before leaving or because of his family's concern, Lin Anji had to take better care of them.

"Thank you for your hard work, brother and sister-in-law."

After thanking him, Liu left the main house and returned to her own home.

The third room was still the same as when she left.

The two children at home were busy with their own things, and those negative emotions of fear did not appear.

At most, he only paid a little attention to it, occasionally looking towards the gate to see if he had returned.

Seeing Liu coming back, the two put down what they were doing and started eating.

Everything is no different from usual.

Liu was both relieved and disappointed.

The child has become independent, and the old mother feels very sad, but there is also a little sweetness in the sadness.
