By this time, the sky had completely darkened.
Realizing that the rain was not going to let up anytime soon, Li Zhengwen and the others took a short break and prepared to head home.
Since there were only two umbrellas at home, Wang Chu'an still planned to go to the old family house to pick up Fang Shiyu.
Consequently, they had no choice but to brave the heavy rain once more, running at full tilt all the way home.
After waiting for about an hour, the rain finally began to ease.
Looking out at the pitch-black world outside, Wang Chu'an went inside to find a flashlight.
"This rain probably won't stop. Let's head over now while it's still relatively light."
"Okay!"
After checking the doors and windows to make sure they were securely locked, the two brothers walked toward the old house with their umbrellas.
As soon as they stepped inside, they saw Wang Mangul sitting on a stool with a worried expression, smoking a cigarette.
"Mom, what's wrong with Dad?" Chen Hong was asked in a low voice as she was soling a shoe nearby.
"Sigh, your dad is worrying about those few acres of land," Chen Hong replied, rubbing her needle against her scalp.
"What's wrong with the fields?"
"Your dad says the weather is abnormal, and a typhoon might be coming. He's worried the rice will be blown over by the wind."
