Chapter 241: Moving out of the shelter
Chapter 241: Moving out of the shelter
Bai Lizheng and several elders understood what was said and couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
One of them even asked Bai Jingzhou, "When we return to the village, will they also go back to Liulin Town?"
But don't just stay in their village for the convenience of treatment. If you do that, won't they have to be on edge all the time when moving around in their village?
Bai Jingzhou smiled bitterly and nodded, "They don't trust me and my father, and now there is no one else to choose from. When the world is peaceful, they will definitely go to the county to find other doctors to treat their illnesses."
The elder said quickly, "This is best. They will be relieved, and you won't be so upset."
The most important thing is that these old men don’t have to worry about those two old guys going crazy in their Baijia Village and endangering them, their families, and clansmen.
Ning Da did as Bai Jingzhou said. On the same day that the able-bodied laborers of Baijia Village walked out of the shelter and returned to the village, he also returned home with his parents, wife, and sons.
Perhaps because there was no food or valuables in their oil press, it was not occupied by the refugees for a long time.
Apart from some tools being broken, some tools being knocked over randomly, and a door being missing, there was no other loss worth mentioning in the oil press.
In contrast, the Ning family's house in the town was severely damaged and required a lot of money to repair it and purchase furniture.
Ning Qirui was worried about his parents and his elder and younger brothers, especially his younger brother who was young and unable to protect himself, so he was always used as a punching bag by those two black-hearted old guys. So although he wanted to stay with Bai Jingzhou, he finally went back to the town without hesitation.
After returning, Ning Da immediately found someone to help deal with the mess in the oil press.
People have to spend every day they live, but his parents held on to the money that the family had saved and refused to let go, requiring only the two of them to take out the money to support the whole family.
If the business could continue normally, they would not mind, but not only have they been living off their savings for such a long time, but they will also have to spend money to repair their own house and oil press.
With the huge increase in expenses, the pressure on their shoulders is still very great.
As for the Ning family's old couple who kept scolding him and insisting that he repair their house as soon as possible, Ning Da had no choice but to let his eldest son follow up on it alone.
Their family has lived in the town for many years and knows people from all walks of life. They can quickly find craftsmen and laborers, and the craftsmen can also help them with the allocation of materials. In this way, there are only three disadvantages to the practice of both sides rushing to work together.
First, the money in Ning Da's hand flowed out of his palm like water.
Second, Wen Sanniang, with her two sons who helped her and two women who came to help her on their own initiative and had a very good relationship with her, was responsible for preparing meals for the craftsmen and laborers on both sides. She was so tired every day that she could not straighten her back.
Thirdly, Ning Qirui had to follow his brother and protect him at all times, otherwise if they made a mistake, those two old guys who didn't help at all but were going crazy all the time would take the opportunity to cause trouble for his brother.
Poor little brother of his who used to be so lively, now his eyes are filled with fear every day.
Ning Qirui hated those two old guys so much, and so did his mother. If it weren't for the last bit of rationality restraining them, they would have wanted to kill those two old guys directly.
They were busy and exhausted here, and they were not in a good mood because of the constant mischief of the old couple of the Ning family. Others who had accepted the protection of Baijia Village and just returned to their own villages also had their own troubles.
Gu Wenxuan's cousin Gu Yonghe's family is in the worst situation among these people.
The house of her husband's family was too old and the walls already had many cracks. In addition, their family was the first to be affected by the riot caused by the refugees.
Somehow the refugees who broke into their house managed to collapse the three main rooms of their house. Now they could no longer live there.
They need to rebuild the house and buy back the belongings that they were forced to leave behind, but unfortunately, their family does not have enough savings to support them in doing these things.
When her father Gu Tong learned that their house was completely uninhabitable, he took out three hundred yuan and stuffed it into her pocket without saying a word, "You can live in the house before the spring. You can save this money to build a house after the spring."
Gu Yonghe subconsciously went to see her younger brother and sister-in-law. She was afraid that her father would give her money, which would cause dissatisfaction among her younger brother and sister-in-law.
However, Xiao Wang's reaction was beyond Gu Yonghe's expectations. Not only was she not unhappy, but when Gu Yonghe looked over, she smiled and said, "Yes, sister, you can just stay at home without worry. When the ice thaws, Yongkang and I will go and help your family build a house."
Xiao Wang's husband's family and her own family were very ordinary. Her father-in-law took out three hundred yuan to support her elder sister-in-law. Xiao Wang felt very distressed, but she was a smart person and understood the principle of giving in order to gain better than anyone else.
She didn't want to create a rift with her elder sister-in-law Gu Yonghe for the sake of three hundred yuan, because Gu Wenxuan's family was obviously closer to Gu Yonghe than to her husband and parents-in-law, and she was hoping to use Gu Yonghe to get closer to Gu Wenxuan's family.
Gu Yonghe had no idea what she was thinking. She was very surprised that Xiao Wang had such a reaction.
Her younger brother is an honest man and has always had a good relationship with her, his eldest sister. He has no objection to their father helping her, and Gu Yonghe can understand that.
But her sister-in-law was a shrewd person who knew how to live her life. Besides, she had no emotional foundation with her as the elder sister-in-law. Under such circumstances, she did not show any displeasure at all, which surprised Gu Yonghe.
But this was a good thing for her after all. With red eyes, she said to her family: "Just think of this money as a loan from our family. I will pay it back in full next autumn."
Her family wasn't well off, so she was already very grateful that they could lend her money for emergency, but she didn't dare to just take the money and use it for free.
Her husband and father-in-law also spoke out to thank her family for their help. However, they did not plan to spend the winter at Gu Yonghe's family home.
Her father-in-law said to her family, "We won't live with my in-laws anymore. Wenxuan said that if anyone's house is no longer habitable, she will let them live in the small courtyards on the mountain until the spring ploughing is over."
Although they are also benefiting from their daughter-in-law's family, it is better to live in the other party's vacant house than for the whole family to live in the in-laws' house with poor housing conditions for two or three months.
Living separately, if nothing else, at least both families can live more comfortably.
