Becoming the Villain's Discarded Wife
Chapter 113: Be Prepared for a Rainy Day

Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Be Prepared for a Rainy Day

In the next two days, Father Lin busied about as if he were on an adrenaline rush.

He started the construction of a cart with his two sons, Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng.

The three little children at home squatted next to them all day, watching intently.

Nanzhi, on the other hand, was sewing backpacks with her two sisters-in-law.

There were ten people in the household, big and small, and they needed to sew ten backpacks.

The idea had come from Nanzhi. Even though most of the stuff would be loaded on the mule cart, everyone should carry a small bag of essential things on their person.

Thinking of the dream where she was all alone, Nanzhi felt a sense of fear.

What could cause her to be separated from her family?

Despite the turmoil in her mind, her hands didn’t slow in their task; and even though the sewing wasn’t very neat, it was sturdy enough.

"Fat Ya, do you think we’re making a mountain out of a molehill?"

Chen Qiulan looked at the sun-bleached ground, feeling somewhat hesitant.

Already two days had passed, and there were no signs of anything unusual.

"I don’t know, but I feel restless, as if something’s not quite right," Nanzhi said, feeling even more agitated as she spoke.

"Mother, look over there!"

All of a sudden, Shen Zhiyu pointed at the horizon and shouted.

Nanzhi stopped what she was doing and, along with Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng, they all looked towards where Zhiyu was pointing.

The black line on the horizon had grown wider, spreading slowly like a few drops of black ink seeping into a basin of clear water.

Nanzhi’s heart pounded anxiously as her ominous premonition became increasingly clear.

"How much longer until the cart is finished, Father?"

Upon hearing his daughter’s question, Father Lin glanced at his work, "Two are already done, and the last one should be done by tonight."

"Elder brother, Ercheng, speed up and harness the mules to the finished carts. We need to go back to Stone Village to pack!" Nanzhi directed with a serious expression on her face.

"Alright." They nodded in agreement and immediately harnessed the mules to the carts they had completed.

Once the carts were harnessed, they left without even laying down the straw, driving the mules ahead of them.

Watching their husbands depart, Chen Qiulan and Sun Cui also felt a lingering sense of unease.

"Sisters-in-law, I need you to help me with the cellar," Nanzhi put down the bag she was holding and spoke to her two sisters-in-law.

"Alright."

They followed Nanzhi into the cellar and were taken aback by the sight before them.

The cellar was neatly filled with sacks of grains, and there were even dozens of pieces of dried meat stacked on one side.

"Sisters, help me bring these grains upstairs," Nanzhi instructed, picking up the dried meat and heading upstairs.

Chen Qiulan and Sun Cui exchanged looks before hurrying to follow her.

It took the three of them several trips before they’d moved everything from the cellar.

The amount of food at Nanzhi’s house wasn’t excessive, but the dried meat was conspicuously plentiful.

Looking at the dried meat, Nanzhi hardened her heart, took three rabbits, and gave them to Chen Qiulan to take to the kitchen. She and Sun Cui then proceeded to count the grains.

Nanzhi currently had seventy pounds of aged rice, twenty pounds of white flour, ninety pounds of black flour, fifty pounds of chestnut flour, and less than thirty pounds of potatoes and sweet potatoes combined.

The dried meat consisted of wild chicken and rabbit, totaling over fifty pieces.

Looking at these provisions, Nanzhi had mixed feelings.

If it weren’t for that dream, this food would have been enough for her and Zhiyu to eat until Shen Wenchen returned.

Such a pity.

Only after they put all the grains in the hall did the three of them resume sewing the bags.

After Nanzhi’s exodus from the cellar, Chen Qiulan and Sun Cui also picked up the pace on their task.

Nanzhi is a lucky girl, but I’m afraid their easy days are coming to an end.

The entrance to Stone Village.

Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng each drove a mule cart into the village.

They wanted to inform the villagers, only to find out that the village was empty.

Even some of the courtyard gates were covered in spiderwebs.

"Big brother, let’s hurry up." Lin Ercheng urged, looking at the deserted village.

They stayed at Fatty Ya’s house for half a month, and probably the villagers couldn’t find water so they all sought their own ways out.

When they returned home, Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng finally got off the mule cart and started to collect their things.

Speaking of collecting things, the two brothers almost carried away everything except the tables and chairs in the house.

Even the quilts in the cabinet, each weighing ten pounds, were all moved away by them.

In an afternoon, the two brothers cleaned up their house. Looking at the empty room, Lin Ercheng finally nodded in satisfaction and closed the courtyard door.

This side, Nanzhi had finished wrapping things with her sisters-in-law. She then chopped the dried meat she saved into small pieces and packed them up in ten portions with oil paper.

Each portion was not much, but it also weighted about one pound.

This dried meat was cooked. If anything really happened, they could eat it to fill their stomachs directly.

Seeing Nanzhi’s actions, Chen Qiulan hesitated for a while and then said: "Fatty Ya, just pack yours and Zhiyu’s. We don’t need it."

Where is the justice that a sister-in-law lives on her younger sister’s part?

"Sister-in-law, we’re all family." Nanzhi stuffed the dried meat into the bag and looked at the happy Shen Zhiyu playing next to her, her voice was slightly lowered: "If, if I get separated from Zhiyu, please take care of him for me."

Seeing that Nanzhi was about to cry, Sun Cui quickly handed her a handkerchief: "Fatty Ya, don’t worry, all of us in this family will definitely be fine."

Nanzhi sniffed and nodded.

The three of them also divided some of the gold wound medicine they bought in the town a few days ago.

Looking at the bag that was half full, Nanzhi finally dropped the loss on her face. Even if it really comes to the point of fleeing, at least they can prepare in advance.

After packing up, Nanzhi took a basket and put in a few pieces of dried meat and went out.

When Mrs. Liu opened the door and saw it was Nanzhi, she immediately smiled and invited her in.

"Mrs. Liu, I came to see you today because I have something."

Hearing her words, Mrs. Liu’s face also became serious.

"A few days ago, I dreamed that the sky had completely darkened, and I was the only one sitting on the mule cart..."

Nanzhi stopped her narration halfway. She also didn’t know how to continue.

After all, there were only her and the mule cart in her dream, and the only clue was the pitch-black sky.

If she tells Mrs. Liu to prepare to escape, she might not believe it.

Mrs. Liu, seeing Nanzhi’s hesitation, also started to worry.

After all, the termite uprising was a reminder from this girl Lin, would something bad happen again?

But she can’t speak up now?

"Girl, if you have something to say, just spit it out. Aunt believes in you!"

Seeing Mrs. Liu’s serious face, Nanzhi was a bit moved and stuttered: "Aunt, these few days, pay more attention and prepare some things for fleeing..."

After saying the words, Nanzhi didn’t plan to stay any longer. She took two pieces of rabbit jerky from the basket and stuffed it into Mrs. Liu’s arms and then left.

With two pieces of jerky in her arms, Mrs. Liu was still dumbfounded and hadn’t recovered from Nanzhi’s words.

Prepare something to escape?

Could it be an impending natural disaster?

Nanzhi then went to Aunt Guihua and Li Zheng’s house, said a few words, and stuffed two pieces of dried meat into each family and then walked back.

Leaving them all puzzled.

Just before reaching home, Nanzhi unexpectedly bumped into a little boy.

Little Qi looked at the woman in front of him. Although he was reluctant in his heart, he still said: "Can you... can you help me?"
