Landlady who likes to hoard land

Chapter 45 Heavy snowfall

Wang Chengyu encouraged Wang Chengqing to give it a try, saying that it's always good to have more skills and learn more things.

"Then let's wait a while, until Mom is feeling better, then I'll give it a try too."

Wang Chengqing said that his mother has just undergone surgery and needs someone to take care of her. He will go back to his studies after his mother is better.

The two sisters rested for a while, locked the door, and walked back to their ward.

The residential area was built a long time ago, and the green plants inside have grown very tall.

The pine trees lining this path are like large, open umbrellas, almost completely covering the road. The greenery in this old neighborhood always exudes a vibrant feeling.

The heavy snow continued, but because of the "umbrella" (referring to the snow cover), there wasn't much snow on the road.

With a "thud," Wang Chengqing, who was walking earnestly, was caught off guard and hit on the head by a pile of snow.

It turned out that a pine branch was too thin to support the weight of the snow, causing the snow on that branch to fall down and land right on Wang Chengqing's head.

Fortunately, the snow wasn't heavy, and it didn't hurt when it hit his head. Wang Chengqing was momentarily stunned by the sudden attack.

"Hahaha, Cheng Qing, others' hair turns white overnight, but yours turned white in an instant!"

Wang Chengyu saw his younger sister with snowflakes on her head, looking dumbfounded, and burst into laughter.

Seeing her sister laughing so hard she was doubled over, Wang Chengqing rolled her eyes, bent down, scooped up some snow from the ground, and threw it on Wang Chengyu's head.

"You made fun of me, now I'll let you experience what it's like to go gray in an instant, haha!"

"Ah! Wang Chengqing, you stop right there!"

Before Wang Chengyu could react, snow was thrown all over his head. After realizing what had happened, he quickly brushed the snow off his head, then grabbed a handful of snow and threw it back at the thief.

"Haha, come and hit me!"

The two sisters argued back and forth all the way to the hospital entrance.

Back in the ward, Wang Chengyu told his mother about the incident as a joke, and he couldn't help but laugh to himself.

"Dad, Mom, you didn't see how silly Cheng Qing looked after being hit by the snow! It was hilarious, hahaha!"

Wang Chengyu laughed non-stop as he spoke.

The mother was amused by her eldest daughter's excited gestures. In her memory, her eldest daughter's personality had gradually become more reserved and silent since she got married, and she rarely laughed so happily.

Lately, perhaps to take care of her mood, she seems to be more cheerful. It's rare to see her so happy, and Wang's mother is also very happy.

"Dad, Mom, look at my sister, all she does is laugh at me."

Wang Chengqing said to her parents in a coquettish tone.

"You've found something funny; your sister's face is all red from laughing."

Wang's mother glanced at her second daughter's slightly flushed face and smiled at Wang Chengyu.

Mr. Wang sat to one side without saying a word, only watching his wife and daughter with a smile on his face.

"Come on, let me see, is it as red as a big apple!"

Wang Chengyu was in a good mood and joked with Wang Chengqing.

"Sis~ Hmph, I'm ignoring you!"

Wang Chengqing called out in a drawn-out voice.

Seeing the two sisters laughing happily, and knowing that her health was getting better and better, Wang's mother also felt cheerful.

His gaze shifted to the window.

The world was a vast expanse of white, with thick snow piled on the tree branches. It had snowed a few days ago, and now it's snowing so heavily again. I wonder if anyone has cleared the snow from the yard and the area in front of the house.

"With such heavy snow, no wonder the branches are bent over!"

A woman on the next bed, about the same age as Wang's mother, looked worried.

She was admitted to the hospital today, and judging from her accent, she seems to be from a remote county town in the north of the city.

Hearing his mother's words, he spoke with a heavy expression.

"Please stop snowing! If it keeps snowing, the thatched houses in the village will collapse under the weight of the snow!"

A thought flashed through Wang Chengyu's mind, and she was immediately drenched in a cold sweat. How could she have forgotten such an important thing?

She remembered seeing in her social media feed that the factory her brother rented had collapsed under the weight of three days of snowfall because it was old. Although there were no casualties, the roof collapsed and a lot of materials inside were lost.

Luckily she remembered, otherwise her brother's factory would have suffered the same fate again.

Their family's current situation is like a small house crumbling in a storm; they can't afford any more losses.

Thinking of this, Wang Chengyu quickly said to his father...

"Dad, don't stay in the hospital. Go home and check on my brother's factory. With this much snow, if it keeps falling, it could collapse."

Mr. Wang looked at the snow outside the window and didn't think much of it.

"Although the factory shed is old, it's still quite sturdy. I've lived for over sixty years, and we've never had a snowfall here heavy enough to collapse the roof!"

L City is located at the junction of the north and south, and in previous years, heavy snowstorms have indeed been rare.

But Wang Chengyu knew that this year's snow would definitely collapse the roof.

"Dad, look, the snow from a few days ago hasn't even melted yet, and today it's already so thick again after only a short time."

We're better off not fearing the impossible, but we should be prepared for the worst. What if this snow continues for another two days? We need to take precautions!

After being told what Wang Chengyu said, Wang's father also hesitated. He was a little unsure, and he was always afraid of the unexpected.

If it really happens, can their family afford the loss?

"Go back and take a look. It's best to be on the safe side. It's always good to be prepared. If nothing's wrong, we'll just have to spend some time and effort."

If something really happens, there's no going back.

Let's go back. Clearing the snow is too much for one person to handle.

I'm all fine here. Didn't Director Zhu say I could be discharged tomorrow? You're fine here too, go back and help Chenggong.

Wang's mother also became worried. She believed that it was always better to be prepared for anything and strongly agreed with her eldest daughter's words. She followed Wang Chengyu and persuaded Wang's father.

"Dad, let me take you home before the snow gets too heavy."

Wang Chengqing spoke.

Persuaded by his wife and daughter, Mr. Wang immediately got up and prepared to go back.

"Okay, then I'll go back and take a look!"

Wang Chengyu instructed Wang Chengqing,

"After you drop off Dad, just go straight home. Mom has finished her injection and will be discharged tomorrow. We're all fine here, so you don't need to come over."

"Okay, then I won't be coming over for the next couple of days."

Wang Chengqing and his father left.

Wang Chengyu called Wang Chenggong again to tell him about how the accumulated snow could easily collapse the roof of the shed, and sent him a lot of preventative measures.

She thought, if Wang Chenggong's aluminum alloy greenhouse was crushed, what about everyone else's? Wouldn't all the vegetable greenhouses be crushed too?

How can I raise awareness? I wish I were an internet celebrity, then I could post a video specifically about snow prevention, which would definitely alert many people.

Oh right, Wang Chengyu remembered. There seemed to be an internet celebrity on their floor who documented her cancer battle. She had even encountered that internet celebrity's live stream when she accompanied her mother to chemotherapy. She wondered if that internet celebrity had come to the hospital.

"Mom, I'm going out to take a look."

After telling her mother, Wang Chengyu started searching room by room. The entire department was only so big, and she searched all the rooms but still couldn't find the internet celebrity.

What to do? I'll just post a message on my WeChat Moments about preventing snow accumulation.
