The time-traveling lady is too fierce

Chapter 118 It’s going to rain

Li Qiuge and his friends are now eating stewed meat around the fire. "I don't know what bad luck I have. Why is there not one with positive thoughts among so many weird relatives!" Li Qiuge said as he picked up a piece of roe deer meat.

"I have never seen so many shrewd women. People say that the villagers are simple and honest, but when they act arrogantly, no one can deal with them!" Shi Dalang had no way to deal with these rural old ladies, so when he was at the Shi family before, whenever an old lady acted like a scoundrel, he would go up the mountain.

Ye Yi and the others were eating on the side, looking at their own prince. His prince had been fighting on the battlefield and spent his time in the military camp. How could he know that the villagers would also quarrel? Besides, isn't there an old saying? Poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people, which also makes sense.

"After dinner, I'll quickly get ready for bed. It feels like it's going to rain tonight. Why is the weather suddenly so gloomy?" The weather is strange, it changes so suddenly! Li Tie is the best at reading the weather.

"Then we must prepare for rain after dinner. Don't wait, or you'll get soaked if you sleep late at night! We still have a lot of tarpaulins, take them out, and put them on the carriage tonight. You should set up the tent higher tonight, preferably on a slope. Dig a circle of drainage troughs around it. I don't know how long the rain will last today," said Li Qiuge after finishing the rice in the bowl.

"We have a good camping spot above us. We originally wanted to camp closer to the river. But if it rains, we can't be too close to the river." Ye Yi was a big eater. He had already eaten two large bowls of food. Now he had another large bowl. He spoke vaguely while eating the meat.

"I will tell Village Chief Shi and the others about this news later, and let them make preparations." Shi Dalang was full at this time. He said something to Li Qiuge and the others, and went to where Village Chief Shi and the others were.

Li Qiuge and his mother cleaned up the dishes, and everyone else went to set up the tent after dinner. The rain tonight might be heavy, so they had to be prepared.

While Wang Xiulian was cleaning up the dishes, she looked at her daughter with a worried look on her face. "Mom, your face is almost wrinkled like a bun. What's wrong?" Li Qiuge asked.

"Alas, your grandmother didn't get the chance to get the meat today, and I'm afraid she will come to our place for a long time in the future. Wouldn't this make the villagers laugh at me? Why am I so unlucky? Having a mother-in-law like this, I'm afraid it will affect your and Dalang's reputation, which is not good! Brother Qiu, sometimes I also want to pounce on your grandmother and fight with her like the shrews in the village, but I just don't have the courage. After all, she is the elder!" Wang Xiu Lian suddenly put down the dishes she was washing and said.

"Mom, although my grandma is short and thin, she is very strong. You'd better not fight with her. If you really fight with my grandma, you will be the one who suffers. So you better hide behind us as much as possible." Li Qiuge didn't expect that she had led her mother to fight like a shrew!

"Oh, Brother Qiu, I just have this idea. If it is true, I can't do anything. She is an old lady after all. I'm just angry that she said that to you!" Although the incident of Li Qiuge being sold has passed, and she has found such a good man like Shi Dalang, she always feels guilty towards her daughter. Her daughter was sold, and she, as a mother, did not help at all and just watched it happen. Now she is counting on her daughter and son-in-law to support her in her old age. Now her step-mother-in-law wants to extort money from her again. She always feels uncomfortable and feels that she is a burden to her daughter and son-in-law!

"Mom, don't always think about that old bitch. She is no match for your daughter. Besides, our escape is boring enough. She comes to entertain me from time to time, and I'm quite happy. If it's just a minor fight, I'll still pay attention to her. But if a real fight breaks out, can she be my opponent? Mom, don't treat her as a psychological burden. Just live a good life by my side!" Li Qiuge persuaded Wang Xiu Lian.

Wang Xiu Lian just felt that what her step-mother-in-law said made sense. As soon as her daughter got married, she and her father moved to her daughter and her husband's place to live out their retirement. They were indeed the first of their kind in the surrounding villages!

But now she really didn't want to be separated from her daughter, especially knowing that her daughter's in-laws might also be in Yundu City, she was even more worried, afraid that her daughter's in-laws would dislike her daughter, and then if something happened to her daughter, she would have no one to discuss it with. So even if it was difficult in her heart, she had to stay with Li Qiuge, no matter what outsiders said!

Shi Dalang here told Village Chief Shi that it was going to rain tonight.

"We also think the weather is a bit strange. It may rain. We will find the tarpaulin like you guys and put on two more layers! We need to prepare more dry firewood after dinner, otherwise we will have nowhere to find dry firewood to cook when it rains." The tent they sleep in at night is the one Li Qiuge taught them. It is made of tarpaulin. But if it rains heavily, they must put on two more layers. If it leaks, the quilt will get wet!

"Okay, village chief, just keep it in mind. Be sure to pay attention to safety when you go to collect firewood. It's already dark now, just pick up some nearby. If there is none, eat some spare dry food. You can't go out if there is lightning!" Shi Dalang felt that it was late autumn now, and even if it rained, it would not last very long. It didn't matter if he missed one or two meals. Safety was the most important thing!

"Okay, I will definitely keep an eye on the villagers when the time comes," said Village Chief Shi after seeing Shi Dalang off.

There are also many villagers in the village who know how to pay attention to the weather, and they have started making preparations after discovering that it might rain.

"You have to leave this tarpaulin to me. It might rain tonight. My position is not good and I will definitely get wet if it rains!" The old Shi family was very frugal and didn't have enough money to buy a tarpaulin. Now Shi Sisi and Shi Xiyou started fighting over the tarpaulin!

"Aunt, we don't have enough rain sheeting in our house, and you want to take one for yourself. Can't you just deal with grandpa and grandma tonight? If I give you this rain sheet, what will my brother and I do at night? You are too selfish! Besides, I got the rain sheet first, and we have already set up the tent. Why should I give it to you?" Shi Xiyou said unconvinced. Her little aunt acted like an unrespectful person. Now she thought she was at home and wanted to steal their things!

"Are you talking nonsense? You two grown men, so what if you get caught in the rain? That tarpaulin is not big enough. It's good enough to cover your grandparents. If I get in there, won't I get soaked?" Shi Sisi now hates Shi Xiyou the most. He goes against her in everything and even fights with her for a tarpaulin!
