My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

"Then can grandpa and grandma tell us?" Gu Huanhuan asked.

Gu Lili said firmly, "You can't tell her. My mother said that this was given to her by a master. I have to keep it secret from everyone, including my grandparents."

A few children nodded, not quite understanding what was said.

It was still dark, and the only thing to be thankful for was that their small kitchen did not collapse.

The siblings brought the chickens, ducks and Big Black into the kitchen, ready to sit down and rest for a while before making plans when daybreak.

Fortunately, Gu Lili brought out the quilt, and the few of them sat together, snuggling together and covering themselves with the quilt to keep warm.

Gradually, several people fell asleep.

"Lili, Erniu, where are you?"

The four of them were sleeping soundly when they were suddenly awakened by Aunt Zhang's shouting.

Gu Lili rubbed her eyes and sat up straight.

I slept sitting up for half the night last night, and my legs are numb now, and I can't stand up.

After a while, Gu Lili tried to stand up.

Gu Lili originally wanted to get up and open the gate, but she didn't expect that Aunt Zhang was already in the yard.

"Lili, Erniu, Sigou, Huanhuan, where are you?" Aunt Zhang shouted anxiously while slapping her thigh.

This morning, Aunt Zhang got up early and wanted to go to the field to check on the condition of the wheat.

Who knew that as soon as I walked out of the house, my eyes inadvertently swept into Gu Lili's yard, and I was shocked.

The yard of Gu Lili's house has collapsed at this moment.

Thinking that the four siblings might be buried under the collapsed house, Aunt Zhang was so anxious that she didn't even bother to knock on the door.

He just barged in and checked the situation.

"Aunt Zhang, I'm here." Gu Lili said in a hoarse voice.

Maybe she was too anxious last night and got angry, so now it is very difficult for Gu Lili to speak.

Maybe Gu Lili's voice was too soft, or maybe Aunt Zhang was too anxious and didn't hear Gu Lili's voice.

Aunt Zhang continued to call Gu Lili and the others. Seeing this, Gu Lili had no choice but to limp over to remind Aunt Zhang that she was behind her.

Gu Lili patted Aunt Zhang on the shoulder and said, "Aunt, I'm here!"

Aunt Zhang was startled by Gu Lili. She turned around and saw that it was Gu Lili. She patted her chest and said, "Oh my God! Lili, why didn't you say anything!"

Gu Lili smiled apologetically, "Aunt, I may have caught a cold, so my voice is hoarse."

Aunt Zhang also heard that there was something wrong with Gu Lili's voice.

As if she had thought of something, Aunt Zhang shouted, "Lili, where are your brother and sister? They weren't crushed in the house!"

"Oh my God, why is the rain so terrible? It has even crushed your house. What should I do?"

Gu Lili replied, "When the house collapsed last night, we just woke up and escaped."

Gu Lili was very touched. Her own grandfather didn't care about her and her siblings, but Aunt Zhang was able to check on them at the first time.

The old saying is indeed true: a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor.

"That's good, that's good." Aunt Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm glad you kids aren't hurt. Poor kids, they're just little kids, without parents, and their grandparents are animals. How can they survive without a place to live?"

If it were summer, we could just build a shack and make do with it.

However, the originally warm weather has started to cool down and rain again, which makes people worry about the four siblings!

Gu Lili bit her lip and said, "Thank you, auntie. If the house collapses, we can rebuild it. As long as my siblings and I are safe, that's more important than anything else."

Aunt Zhang nodded. "Well, you are such a sensible child. Don't worry, I'm here. I'll go find the head of the village and ask him to find a few people to help you rebuild a place to live."

Aunt Zhang said this and ran out of the house in a hurry.

Gu Lili felt worried when she saw the collapsed house. She had originally thought that she would build a house after buying some malt sugar.

However, this small thatched hut was unwilling to last even for a few more days. It collapsed at any time.

Not long after Aunt Zhang left, Gu Erniu and the other two got up.

Last night there was only the light of the flashlight, so the few of them couldn't see clearly.

At this moment, looking at the collapsed house, the three of them couldn't help but lower their heads and wipe away their tears.

Life, which had just begun to get better, was disrupted by a sudden natural disaster.

They were clearly sleeping in a warm bed last night, but after today, they didn't even have a bed.

Just when the four were feeling depressed, Aunt Zhang brought a group of people to Gu Lili's courtyard.

There was the village head, Tiedan’s father, Uncle Dazhu, and Uncle Zhang, all familiar faces.

"Lili, don't feel bad, we are here to help you build a house." The head of the village said in a loud voice.

When the head of the village heard Aunt Zhang say that Gu Lili's house had collapsed, his heart ached.

Fortunately, no one was hurt.

Even though they already knew that Gu Lili's house had collapsed, they still couldn't help but be shocked when they saw it with their own eyes.

These children were lucky enough to escape.

The village head couldn't help but sigh and said, "Oh, how pitiful!"

Gu Lili's eyes moistened as she said, "Thank you, Grandpa Lizheng, and all the uncles. It doesn't take much to build a place for us siblings to sleep temporarily."

Gu Lili planned to make more malt sugar and visit more businesses to wholesale it to them.

This way we can build the house faster.

Since you are planning to build a house in the near future, there is no need to spend time and effort to build it.

The village head said, "How can that be possible? We will have to live here for many years. Lili, you don't have to worry about the money. We can use the fallen wood and straw to build a house. We have plenty of straw at home and can give you some."

"Yes, Lili, I can give you some of my straw." Aunt Zhang also said.

Gu Lili thought about it and decided to tell them the truth, telling them that she was planning to build a house in the near future.

"Grandpa, the village head, uncles and aunts, my siblings and I made some food and went to the town to sell it. We didn't expect Wang's Company to be willing to purchase our products for a long time. I wanted to make more and send them over to sell, and then build a house, but we didn't expect our house to collapse first." Gu Lili smiled and said some unimportant words to a few people.

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.

On the way here, they were still worried about the four siblings, but they didn't expect that Gu Lili and the others actually found a way to make money.

None of them had any idea of ​​being jealous of the siblings. Instead, they were genuinely happy for Gu Lili.

When Gu Lili talked about food, the village head and Uncle Dazhu knew what Gu Lili was talking about.
