Disaster Apocalypse: Farming, Family, and My Hidden Secret Space

"Why do you say so?" These words almost burst out one by one from between Liu Kai's clenched teeth.

"I am your uncle's wife, your uncle is your father's only brother, you can't do this." Knowing this was about their living arrangements, old Mrs. Liu felt very anxious. For the sake of the house, she stood firm. Besides, Liu Kai was carried in and clearly injured; old Mrs. Liu really didn't believe that this boy could do anything to them in his condition.

Anyway, once they moved in, it was impossible for them to move out again. In the whole village, there were only a few intact houses, and the house had also been mostly repaired by Liu Kai. After staying here for a few days, they genuinely didn't want to go back to their old house, which was only a foundation.

"You're brothers who eat people, do you really not know how my father got sick?"

"He's older and his health is bad, isn't it normal for him to get sick? Don't throw slanderous accusations around."

"You're not that young either, why haven't you died quickly!" Liu Kai sneered.

"You... disrespect your elders. Is this how your parents educated you, Liu Kai?"

"Old Mrs. Liu..." Suddenly Liu Kai shouted, "You dare bring up my mother... do you know how my mother died... huh..."

"I... I... I don't know," old Mrs. Liu quickly avoided Liu Kai's sullen gaze, her heart guilty and evasive.

"If you don't want others to know, you shouldn't do it. Old Mrs. Liu, do you sleep peacefully at midnight?"

If there was any evidence, old Mrs. Liu would have been buried in a cup of yellow soil by now.

"The half-cup of tea time is almost up, it seems there's nothing here for you." Liu Kai said coldly.

"Liu Kai, this is my home now, you can't do this, it was your father's decision to let us move in."

"Now I'm back..."

"There's less than half the time left..." Liu Kai reminded them again and then seemed to suddenly remember something, turning his head, "Hua Qiang, brother, in a moment I might need you to help me throw them out. Of course, the brothers' pay won't be small."

"No problem," Hua Qiang agreed without hesitation.

The people were already helped back to Shangrao Village, so there was no harm in helping a bit more. Besides, Liu Kai was still bright. People have said there's compensation, with this attitude, it's up to them whether to help or not.

"Liu Kai, we are your immediate family, not to mention that we still don't know if you'll recover after getting injured. Isn't it your uncle holding up the village, you gain nothing from doing things so absolutely. Listen to your aunt, our two families can get along well, and I'll definitely treat your nephews and nieces well in the future."

"And..." Liu Kai didn't even give old Mrs. Liu a glance as he ruthlessly announced the remaining time.

"You can't do this..." old Mrs. Liu shouted in anger and embarrassment, but seeing Liu Kai's unyielding expression and thinking about his past temper, old Mrs. Liu knew he was serious.

Although shouting, her body was honest, quickly running towards the house, leaving the two daughters-in-law to follow back into the house.

Time was running out, they had to pack quickly.

The most important things were clothes, bedding, silver coins, and food. Just packed these up when they heard from outside that time's up, which almost choked the three of them with anger.

Ms. He in the backyard also regained her composure, knowing that the child's father wanted to take back their belongings, so she couldn't stay in the backyard anymore. After checking on the child, she came to the front yard just in time to see the three from old Mrs. Liu's family with large and small bundles.

Particularly her eyes focused on the largest package under old Mrs. Liu's hand, the package cloth was still theirs.

Ms. He had a weak personality, but this didn't mean she had no principles. Previously she compromised mainly because they were all either too old or too weak to fight against the uncle's family. Now that the child's father was back, Ms. He felt her confidence return, with the child's father around, she was afraid of nothing.

"That is our family's thing," Ms. He headed straight for the largest bundle old Mrs. Liu had.

"Children's father, this is our family's stuff."

Liu Kai took a look and it really was, their family's only unbroken bed cover.

"Hua Qiang, brother..." Liu Kai couldn't move himself, so he had to ask Hua Qiang for help.

Hua Qiang said nothing but walked over to the village chief Li, who understood without Hua Qiang needing to speak a word, and quickly pointed at a few women who looked strong enough to help.

On Ms. He's side, she had already reached the bundle and reached out to grab it. Old Mrs. Liu would not allow this; seeing the niece-in-law who didn't dare speak loudly in front of her these past few days now dare to rob her of her things, she wouldn't let it slide. Just as she was about to step forward, several women suddenly rushed forward to press her completely immobile with her daughter-in-laws.

"Robbery, help, murder, is there no law, let go of us you shrews or face a lawsuit..." the mother-in-law and daughters-in-law cried out pathetically.

No matter how they howled or threatened, the hands that held them remained firmly without any relaxation, and even the gaze that fell upon them was contemptuous.

"Thank you, aunts, and sisters-in-law," Ms. He slightly bowed, then decisively seized the package from old Mrs. Liu.

Opening it, she rummaged through and found many familiar things, including some of her late mother-in-law's clothes, and even her family's grain bag, embroidered with a small green grass on it, although there was already little grain inside, now there was even less left.

Then the items from the two daughters-in-law, although not much that belonged to their own family, were some children's clothes, taken openly by the two sisters-in-law while Ms. He hung them to dry after washing, unfortunately, with her weak body and little strength, she couldn't snatch them back.

Their family had always been doing okay in Shangrao Village. The man had read books for a few years and worked in an accounting office in town, otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to build a brick and tile house, and the children's clothes were naturally not lacking, though not of the best materials, they were of fine linen.

When the disaster struck, they were one of the first to go to the mountain, carrying grain, clothes, bedding, and such up the mountain.

It could be said that the whole of Shangrao Village surviving was thanks to their family; it was the child's father who got the news early from town and informed everyone, but sadly, too few knew how to be grateful.

When the child's father wasn't there, and their family was bullied, except for the Zhao family, there wasn't a single person in the village who dared to stand up for them, even the village chief. Thinking of her man risking his life to protect his family and the villagers on the mountain, Ms. He felt true coldness.

Having sorted through their belongings, she also retrieved a few pieces of silver from the package without any courtesy.

Their family's items had been used that much, a few pieces of silver weren't too much to take back from them.

"My silver..." the mother-in-law and daughters-in-law cried out almost simultaneously, staring at Ms. He with eyes filled with resentment.

"Ms. He, you cheap thing trampled by thousands, hurry and put back the silver, or when Lin Ge'er and the others return, you won't get away scot-free…"

They continued with a string of abusive words, even making Old Man Hua frown, signaling his grandchildren to cover their ears, lest they be polluted.
