Chapter 448

~5 min read 845 words

He Yushui bore him a son, who is now five and a half years old.

But it is a pity; the little one did not inherit his genes and has little strength.

He is only a bit bigger than an ordinary child.

Days passed like this again.

That night.

Lu Jianye's whole family was in the temporary house, which had heating installed and was not cold.

Everyone had fallen asleep.

Suddenly.

Terrified screams echoed from the courtyard.

"Old Jia!"

"Dongxu!"

"What are you doing? I won't go. Don't take me away."

"Help! I won't go! Help!"

Jia Zhang Shi's terrified wails rang out.

This scared many children badly.

Lights went on in every household, and one by one they complained: "Jia Zhang Shi is causing trouble again."

"She is practicing feudal superstition; arrest her!"

"What are you shouting about in the middle of the night? Do you want to die?"

Lu Jianye and Bai Lu Si's family also got up.

They found it was one thirty in the morning, and everyone was extremely annoyed.

Just at this moment, the ground shook.

An earthquake!

"The earthquake has come!"

"Everyone, come out quickly to the temporary houses."

"No need to panic!"

The courtyard erupted in commotion.

Lu Jianye's whole family was already in the temporary house; everything had been prepared long ago, so they were not afraid at all.

In Xu Damao's house.

Xu Damao had originally been woken by Jia Zhang Shi's voice.

Now with the earthquake, he hurriedly ran outside.

He ran out, then went back to put on clothes.

Perhaps he would go back to fetch the second-hand radio he had just bought.

Qin Huairu hurriedly held him back: "Don't go in; the beams are about to snap."

Xu Damao did not go in then.

Qin Huairu went to find Especially Bang Geng again.

She discovered that Especially Bang Geng had already run out and did not care about them at all.

Qin Huairu felt a wave of disappointment in her heart.

Since returning, Especially Bang Geng had changed completely.

Xiao Huaihua and Xiao Huaihua came out hugging their quilts.

These were their only possessions; as for cotton-padded jackets and trousers, these past few days they had slept wearing their clothes.

Everyone in the family came out.

But Xu Damao did not believe Lu Jianye's words; his family had not built a temporary house, so they could only stand in the courtyard.

Especially Bang Geng looked at the entrance of Lu Jianye's home; he was extremely jealous.

"Xu Damao, Lu Jianye's family has a temporary house; why don't you?"

Especially Bang Geng's voice was shrill, sounding neither male nor female.

Xu Damao was instantly angered: "Especially Bang Geng, Neighbor Li Ergou returned from the countryside and earned one hundred yuan; why don't you have any?"

"At such a young age, your tone is quite bold."

"What status do you have? You dare blame me!"

Especially Bang Geng was not Xu Damao's biological son, and Xu Damao was not polite to him.

Qin Huairu said nothing.

She thought the same as Especially Bang Geng.

When everyone was building temporary houses, Xu Damao disagreed.

Now he is dumbfounded, isn't he?

Looking across the courtyard, almost everything was temporary houses.

Everyone was not so panicked and moved out quickly.

Liu Hai Zhong and his wife stood in the open space; their three sons had not returned.

Their family also had no temporary house.

Now, looking at others' temporary shelters, Liu Hai Zhong regretted his decision.

"Build a temporary shelter tomorrow," Liu Dama said.

Liu Hai Zhong stubbornly replied, "No, it will be fine in a few days after the earthquake."

"Our house is sturdy."

Xu Damao said the same: "My house is sturdy; once the earthquake stops, we can go back inside."

However...

No sooner had he finished speaking than Jia Zhang Shi's screams echoed from inside the room.

"Ah! My leg!"

"Jia Zhang Shi, Especially Bang Geng, hurry and carry me out!"

266. Earthquake! Jia Zhang Shi crushed, paralyzed from the waist down!

What?

Jia Zhang Shi's voice rang out.

Qin Huairu and Xu Damao's family finally came to their senses.

They had been so focused on running outside that no one had paid attention to Jia Zhang Shi.

She was still inside.

At that moment,

the earthquake grew even stronger.

Xu Damao's house collapsed completely, roof and all.

Hearing Jia Zhang Shi's cries, he must have been crushed.

At this level of damage, it seemed her leg was broken?

Qin Huairu showed no urgency; she did not go looking for Especially Bang Geng but instead looked at Xu Damao.

"Damao, what should we do?"

She did not tell Xu Damao to go in and get Jia Zhang Shi out.

Jia Zhang Shi was not Xu Damao's biological mother; he had no responsibility or obligation to rescue her.

Xu Damao was quite satisfied with Qin Huairu's reaction.

"The house has collapsed now; going in would be useless."

"Let's wait first."

"We'll decide once the earthquake stops."

Xu Damao simply wanted Jia Zhang Shi to die inside.
