“Uncle Liu, you did the right thing. Otherwise, if they were really forced into a corner, I’m afraid the manor would not be able to live in peace.” Zhou Ying took the receipt and replied.
“It’s fine as long as you don’t blame me. By the way, how’s your village doing?” Manager Liu asked.
“Pretty good. We took notice of the snowstorm in time, but three houses collapsed, and three people were injured.”
“What? Three people were injured? Are Zhang Qingqing and her family okay?” Qian Zhuang ran in and asked.
“What’s the rush, kiddo? If something happened, we would have come to you long ago.” Gu Chengrui teased.
“Hehe, 1 just panicked. Oh, right; what about our old house?”
“Your house was renovated before you rented it out. It’s quite strongly built, so nothing happened.”
“That’s great; you guys continue while I return to the village with Erjiang.” After Qian Zhuang finished speaking, he turned around and ran out.
“It’s really different when a man has a wife. In the past, I’ve never seen him so concerned about anything other than money.” Manager Liu laughed.
“Well, a person does change after having a family.” Zhou Ying said with a smile.
After chatting for a while, they learned about the situation at the manor. They found out that there was no trouble other than a few newborn lambs freezing to death.
The couple got up and left. At the same time, they told Manager Liu that their village was paving the way to town.
The road was much smoother on the way back, and the two skated back to the village much faster than usual.
After Qian Zhuang brought Gu Erjiang back to the village, he went straight to Zhang Qingqing’s house. After making sure that she was fine, the two helped her reinforce the roof of her house.
After that, he reported to the village chief and the patriarch that he was safe before returning to the manor.
Five days later, the road to town was cleared, and the couple skated into town.
They found that many houses in town had collapsed. Fortunately, the main road was cleared, just like their village.
When the two arrived at Grassland Taste Restaurant, they saw that the place was intact. They heaved a sigh of relief and walked in from the side door.
Fang Qing, who was practicing martial arts in the yard, was surprised when he saw them. “Master, how did you guys get here?”
“The village used wooden rafts to dig a path out. How are you guys? Are you all okay?” Zhou Ying asked.
“Uncle Zhao Cheng fell down the ladder while cleaning the snow on the second floor. Fortunately, there was snow underneath him, and nothing serious happened. However, he injured his waist and has been lying in bed for several days.”
“And you guys just waited like this?” Gu Chengrui asked.
“We don’t know where the doctor’s residence is, so we only rub some safflower oil on him daily. He’s feeling better now compared to a few days ago.”
“You guys continue chatting; I’ll go over and take a look.” Gu Chengrui walked into Zhao Cheng’s room after he finished speaking.
“Is there anything else you need to let us know?” Zhou Ying asked.
“I guess there are some. We didn’t prepare enough firewood, but we still had enough to burn for another month. Now that the road is cleared, we’ll go up the mountain to get some more firewood.”
Zhou Ying shook her head and said, “I saw a lot of collapsed houses in town.
See if anyone wants the wood; you can buy it if they don’t. I would prefer you buy those and use them as firewood.”
“As for gathering actual firewood, it’s unrealistic to do so with such thick snow before it melts.”
“I understand. When it’s my turn to join the rescue team tomorrow, I’ll ask Constable Tian if I can bring some back.”
“Rescue team?”
“Yeah. The constable is organizing people to save those buried at home. I’m staying home to look after the house today, while Qiu Yu and the others were called to cook for the masses.”
“I see. By the way, is our courtyard alright?”
“It’s fine. It’s just the storage room that collapsed.”
“That’s good. You guys can take some time off to collect broken wood and use it as firewood.
“By the way, you must go back to your house from time to time. It’ll get dilapidated if you don’t live there for a long time.”
“I will..”
