Chapter 277: Chapter 277 Taking Advantage of Someone’s Vulnerability

Mrs. Xu, upon hearing her daughter’s words, suddenly remembered her eldest son’s wife and hurriedly carried the child back inside the house.

Inside, Eldest Sister-in-law Xu lay drenched and sprawled on the bed, her complexion a few shades paler than before.

At that moment, she struggled to open her eyes, looking expectantly at the baby in Mrs. Xu’s arms, "Is it a girl?"

Mrs. Xu nodded, "It’s a little girl, and she doesn’t look too bad, kind of resembles my daughter when she was little."

Hearing this, Xu Ying quickly glanced at her little niece; she had been so concerned about the comfort of Eldest Sister-in-law Xu that she hadn’t had the chance to look at the baby’s face.

Now upon looking, Xu Ying felt full of disdain, "Mom, are you sure I looked like this when I was a baby?"

She thought, how ugly.

The skin was all wrinkled, looking dark red and hideous—the more she looked, the uglier it seemed.

Her long-cherished dream of a beautiful little niece was gone, and Xu Ying’s face was full of sorrow.

Eldest Sister-in-law Xu gave a forced smile when she saw her daughter, "Mom, I’m a bit sleepy. I’d like to get some rest."

"Eldest sister-in-law, you’ve been tired for half a day, have some egg soup before you sleep," Xu Ying said and then ran to the kitchen, quickly served a bowl of egg soup, added some Healing Powder to the soup, and brought it over.

Eldest Sister-in-law Xu fell asleep after finishing the egg soup.

Mrs. Xu gave the baby a quick clean and then wrapped her up in a thick blanket.

Shitou and Hu Zi looked at their sister with aversion; they had always imagined their sister would smell nice and be soft.

But to their surprise, she was smelly and ugly. The two boys kept a distance from their own sister.

"Little aunt, why isn’t the sister as pretty as you!" Hu Zi said, disheartened; the thought of having such an ugly sister made him not want to take her outside at all.

What if people laughed at her for being so ugly?

Shitou was equally troubled; he didn’t want to acknowledge this sister, but he also feared she might be alone without friends.

Yet with her looks so unappealing, he was sure his friends would ridicule him.

Mrs. Xu found her grandsons’ dilemma utterly amusing, "What’s the matter? No matter how ugly, she’s still your sister. Don’t tell me you’re disowning her now."

"Grandma, she’s really ugly!" complained Hu Zi, on the verge of tears.

Xu Ying looked at her little niece and felt some disgust as well; she really was too ugly, "A woman changes eighteen times before she grows up; she’ll get prettier. She’ll look better when she grows up."

"Will she be as pretty as my little aunt then?" Shitou asked excitedly.

Mrs. Xu said straightforwardly, "Your little aunt isn’t someone you can easily compare to, not to boast, but thinking she’ll be as pretty as your aunt is simply impossible."

Upon hearing this, Shitou felt a surge of disappointment and sneaked a peek at his sister, his eyes filled with despondency.

He had been looking forward to showing off his sister once she was born, but now, all his hopes had vanished.

"Ah, there are fish!" exclaimed Xu Ying, as she spotted several fish on the water’s surface.

The water had already flooded the first floor by now, and the river water had merged with the rainwater, mixing all the fish and shrimp together.

Mr. Xu, looking at the river’s surface, was full of concern, "I wonder how your eldest brother and second brother are doing."

Xu, along with others, was busy at the moment, as the other villages weren’t as lucky as Xujia Village, which had new houses. The old houses in the rest of the villages had collapsed in a heap due to the heavy rain.

Reduced completely to ruins.

The sound of children crying mixed with the sobbing of adults.

"My child is still down there, wuu wuu wuu~"

"Mommy, I want my mommy."

Director Gu, hearing the cries, was filled with guilt; if only he had personally checked everything, this disaster could have been avoided.

"Quick, help with the rescue, whoever’s family members are trapped, speak up immediately," Director Gu said, looking at the villagers who had come to rescue and the people he had brought, starting to organize them into teams for cooperation.

Several groups followed the rescue efforts, while others searched for any people left behind, and one group stayed with the villagers to head for higher ground and begin their escape.

Huo Chen was strong and took charge of rescuing the villagers; many didn’t react until their houses were about to fall, and some were directly crushed beneath them.

Big Brother Xu and Second Brother Xu were responsible for finding people.

Fortunately, with more hands, there’s more strength, and every time they went to a village, more young and able men joined the rescue.

The situation in Yu County turned chaotic, and other regions, upon receiving news of the disaster in Yu County, dispatched supplies and personnel to offer aid.

The military district even sent quite a few soldiers to help.

The village safety personnel who were closest to Xujia Village all got sent there.

They squeezed into each household, one by one.

Those close to Yu County were all sent to various large factories.

The heavy rain continued nonstop for a week, and the people from other areas suddenly became very active in thought.

Minister Lin kept receiving calls at home: "Hello, Minister Lin, how are things with you now?

Very well, that’s good to hear, ah, Minister Lin, let’s talk about Yu County. You’ve barely seen your economy rise so much this year.

How unlucky to coincide with the heavy rain, everyone knows your textile and food factories are now famous."

"I think, you won’t be able to resume production in the short term, why not let us produce for you first?

It would also be making the best use of the situation, not wasting resources, right! Rest assured, just give us your products.

The people of our city district will all be thankful to the people of Yu County."

Minister Lin trembled with anger from these incessant calls.

While people say it’s good to send help in the midst of trouble, the greediness of these people was just too ugly.

Wanting compensation for the food factory’s marinated products, they shamelessly talked about not wasting resources.

"Director Ma, although we in Yu County can’t produce for a short time, that doesn’t mean we can’t forever.

If you really care about us, why not send us some money and daily necessities instead of shamelessly asking for our recipes?"

Minister Lin hung up the phone right after speaking, not caring about how mortified the person on the other end might be.

"What’s there to be arrogant about for a minor county-level minister, what kind of dumb luck did he stumble upon, I heard that this time the international trade meeting quotas might involve Yu County Food Factory and the textile factories," Director Ma fumed.

Their food factory was at the provincial level, far surpassing any small county.

If they could obtain the recipes of Yu County Food Factory for their own use, they would definitely be able to participate in this international trade meeting.

The more Director Ma thought about it, the angrier he became, prompting him to directly call their top leader.

"Hello, Minister Fang, did you know Yu County Food Factory is experiencing heavy rain right now, and the whole area is flooded?"

"I’ve heard about it, what, you want to donate some supplies to Yu County?" Minister Fang’s square face was full of curiosity.

Since when had Director Ma become so generous? In his memory, Director Ma was an extremely stingy person.

Even stingier towards the employees of the factory, but he didn’t care too much about that, as long as the economy was managed well.

Mentioning Yu County Food Factory, envy was clear on Minister Fang’s face; Yu County was just a small county under their jurisdiction.

Previously an inconspicuous small county, who would have thought it could grow so impressively.

It was just a pity it wasn’t theirs.

Upon hearing Minister Fang’s words, Director Ma immediately declined: "Minister, don’t tease me, our food factory is so poor it can barely make a sound, and probably can’t even compare to Yu County Food Factory.
