Who would go to such great lengths?

The people who are offended are not ordinary people.

After thinking about it, I realized that I have nothing to do with the big shots, so how could I offend them?

There were two people there that day. Could it be that the second one offended someone?

"Second brother, I thought about it carefully and it seems that I really didn't offend anyone. Is it you?"

The second brother couldn't help but sneer and shook his head. The eldest brother was really a blockhead and not smart at all.

"Definitely not me."

The boss was stunned. How could he be so sure? He was a little confused, but there was a bit of expectation in his eyes. He wanted to hear what would happen next.

The second brother did not hide anything and expressed his thoughts.

"Just think about how you've been doing these days. Have you been tossing and turning, feeling like nothing is going your way?"

"I am different. It is exactly the same as before. There is no difference. Who do you think offended me?"

It turns out that my second brother has such a brain. I never realized it before. What he said makes sense. It is indeed the case.

Having one more brain can give you more ideas, so just ask him.

"How about you help me think about who I offended?"

The second brother stroked the stubble on his chin and thought for a while. He hadn't seen anyone having a conflict with the eldest brother recently.

Moreover, the people in the village are straightforward and will not torment others in secret like this. In the end, they come to the same conclusion as the boss.

“He’s probably not from the village.”

This narrows the scope a lot, so who could it be?

The second brother saw the eldest brother's confusion and had helped him up to this point, but there was nothing he could do from now on and he had to rely on himself.

"I don't know what happened next. Since he's not from the village, think about who you might have offended. I have to lie down on the kang for a while."

After saying that, he yawned, stretched, and walked into the house, leaving the eldest brother standing there alone.

The sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds and a thunder exploded next to his ear, waking up the dazed boss. It was so dark that he couldn't see his hand in front of him, so he quickly ran into the house.

The rain was pouring down and I got soaked after just two steps.

He took off his clothes and shook off the water.

Standing at the door, looking at the heavy rain outside, fortunately, I haven't planted the vegetables yet as my mother said before. If I had planted them, it would have been a waste of effort and they would have been killed by the rain.

Lying on the kang and listening to the sound of rain outside, my mind was in a mess and I kept thinking about people I might have offended.

That was the last time I sold soy milk to a few people and they got sick from drinking it.

But I have already paid the compensation, and it has been so long since the incident happened. Could it be that they are so vindictive and petty that they would not let me go until now?

The more I thought about it, the more it seemed wrong. The fire had clearly been put out the last time I burned paper, and based on previous experience it shouldn't reignite.

Moreover, it has rained so much recently that the chance of the fire reigniting is very small. The firewood we picked up cannot be burned, let alone reignited. This must be intentional.

After all, they don't live in the village, so it's impossible for them to watch over me every day. Who would spend so much energy to deal with someone who doesn't have to earn money or farm?

A light bulb went off in my head, and it turned out that this was something that people who didn't have to earn money or farm did.

Could it be Miss Lin who I offended before?

Thinking of this, I broke out in a cold sweat.

But this happened so long ago and I didn’t care about it before, but now I am taking it seriously. It doesn’t make sense.

He rubbed his hair irritably, punched the kang, opened his nostrils like an old cow, inhaled deeply, and exhaled.

I secretly swore in my heart that no matter who he was, I would find this person and find out who he really was.

County Magistrate Liu stood in front of the window, brows furrowed, his hands behind his back, looking at the heavy rain outside the door.

When I came back from the restaurant that day, I had already sent a message to my superiors. I don’t know how long it will take to get a reply.

It has been raining more and more frequently recently. Before, there would be a few days between two rains, but now it rains almost every day, and each time it rains for a long time. If it continues like this, the consequences will be disastrous.

Thinking back to the person who came to report the water level of Jinhe River yesterday, his face looked very unhappy and what he said was really shocking.

If it continues like this, the dam will burst within half a month.

It seems we need to send someone to notify and prepare.

The people sent out asked about the prices of commonly consumed grains in all the grain stores in the town, and found that they had all increased a lot compared to before.

There is no way around it. The weather is so bad that transportation and storage are difficult.

There are several empty rooms in the yamen where grain can be stored.

County Magistrate Liu was thinking that if a flood really happened, he would not know how long it would take for the relief grain from the imperial court to arrive.

It is better to buy some, and if the situation really occurs that most people cannot get enough food, you can open the warehouse and release the grain.

But there is another piece of news, it seems that many families have already stockpiled food.

I heard from the owner of the grain store that most of them were from Niujia Village and were the first to come to buy grain. He was really foresighted. I wonder if that little girl was responsible for this.

County Magistrate Liu sighed silently, hoping that God would protect him and nothing serious would happen.

After waiting for a long time until the rain stopped, Ni'er and her family of four saw off the people who came to eat.

It was dark outside and a little unclear in the room. Yan Zi had been busy entertaining people recently, so her needlework had been delayed a lot. Some people were in a hurry to get their work done, so she picked up her needle and thread and prepared to catch up on the work.

Seeing her mother about to do some handicraft work, Nier hurriedly stopped her and said, "Watch your eyes. It's so dark now, it will damage your eyes."

Yan Zi smiled and shook her head, picked up the clothes in her hand, shook them off, revealing a hole, "It's okay, I'll sew this hole up, it won't take long, it'll be quick and won't strain your eyes."

"Mother, why don't you go to the kitchen and sew by the firelight? It's too dark here."

Yan Zi thought about it and felt that the kitchen was indeed brighter than here, so she agreed to Ni'er's suggestion.

The third brother quickly moved a chair to the kitchen and added a few more pieces of firewood into the stove. Suddenly the room was lit up.

The firelight flickered, only slightly brighter than in the previous room, but still quite tiring for the eyes.

No one can stop my mother from making a decision. Fortunately, it’s just a piece of clothing. I guess I have to find some time to get an oil lamp.

I have never lit an oil lamp before. If I hadn't seen this thing in other people's homes, I wouldn't know what I could use to light up the night.

The family that has the oil lamp rarely lights it. I heard that it wastes a lot of oil and isn't very bright, but it should be better than lighting firewood in the kitchen.

After entering the system and opening the mall interface, there were several oil lamps that were sold at a high price.

Ni'er liked one that was fuel-efficient and bright, but it actually cost twenty-three taels of silver. The mall is so shady, they really dare to ask that. It would be better to make one myself.

After reading the product introduction and understanding the structure of the oil lamp, I felt it was quite simple.

It’s just that there are two layers, the upper layer for oil and the lower layer for water.
