Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 179 Leaks Everywhere
When Chen Dagang saw that his father was angry, he lowered his head sullenly and said nothing more, only swallowing the unpalatable food.

He thought to himself that what he said was true, so why was everyone unhappy?

Since Li Ruru is so rich, can't we just borrow or ask her for some money?

The third son and Li Ruru were originally a couple, and Li Ruru was an invincible romantic. As long as the third son asked, Li would never refuse.

Chen Dagang stared at Chen Sanbao while eating. Chen Sanbao, feeling confused by the stare, scratched the back of his head and asked, "Brother, isn't there any rice in your bowl? Are you trying to eat mine?"

Chen Dagang shook his head awkwardly and said nothing more.

He felt uncomfortable; he always felt that life was not going well.

Before knowing Li Ruru's family situation, he thought his own family was pretty good.

Now that he has something to compare it to, he finds everything in the house unpleasant, and everyone seems to have thorns on them, making him want to find fault with everyone.

He looked at Chen Jinbang and said, "Son, how are you doing with your studies lately? Will you pass the exam this year?"

Chen Jinbang disliked everyone even more than he did. He slammed down his chopsticks and said, "You can't even afford tuition, what's the point of studying? What's the point of taking the exam? Are you going to pay me?"

When money was mentioned, Chen Dagang immediately fell silent; he had no money and couldn't give any.

He then looked at Chen Jingang and said, "Jingang, you're not getting any younger. What are you doing all day? Why don't you set up a stall?"

Like Li Ruru, some people become rich overnight by starting with a street stall.

Chen Jingang said, "Dad, what would I sell at a stall? Besides, I need money to buy things for a stall, right? Are you going to give me money?"

Chen Dagang suffered another setback, losing face in front of both of his sons.

He said irritably, "Money, money, money, everyone's asking me for money, who am I supposed to ask? You're all incompetent, do you think you can rely on your old man like me?"

Chen Jintong, who hadn't spoken until now, said, "Dad, if you were so capable, why would we need to study or set up a stall? We could just lie down and spend your money."

"In the end, it's all because you're poor that we have to live such a hard life."

Look at Auntie San. She built her business step by step from a street stall on her own. She didn't rely on anyone else, yet she still made a good life for Huai Di, that little girl.

Compared to this, all three sons felt that their father, Chen Dagang, was useless.

The three Chen brothers then turned their attention to Chen Bingxiao, thinking that even his father was useless.

None of the Chen family members wanted to work hard; they all wanted to rely on others to live a good life.

The resentment towards each other grew stronger, and the meal ended unhappily.

-

The torrential rain lasted for three more days.

That morning, Li Ruru heard chickens, ducks, and geese squawking and squawking in the yard.

She stepped out of the room, stretched, looked up at the courtyard, and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh my god, oh my god, everyone get up! Something terrible has happened!"

With a scream, the doors to all the rooms opened rapidly.

The group ran over while straightening their clothes.

"What's wrong?" Chaochao was the first to come to Li Ruru's side.

Xiao Yishan and Fang Xingzhi followed closely behind, and Peipei arrived last with Yinyin.

Everyone looked up and stared blankly at the courtyard.

The courtyard was now full of water; it was unclear whether the drain was blocked or what, but the water level had already risen above the steps.

If they had gotten up any later, the water would have flooded the house.

"Godmother, I'm going to check on the irrigation ditch." Xiao Yishan rolled up his sleeves, but Li Ruru grabbed his collar from behind.

"Wait a minute." Li Ruru brought over a few shovels and a large wooden plank, gesturing to Fang Xingzhi: "Master Fang, could you please do me a favor?"

Fang Xingzhi did not refuse. There were only two men here, him and Xiao Yishan, so they had to do the rough and tiring work.

It's not good for a woman to get her clothes wet; it can easily lead to a cold, illness, and even long-term health problems.

Xiao Yishan and Fang Xingzhi, the two men, put the large wooden plank into the water.

The wooden plank floated up, and the two people standing on it didn't sink in.

They used shovels as oars and rowed towards the canal.

With the weight of the two people combined, the water rose even higher, wetting Li Ruru's feet. She stepped back; the water was now almost level with the main room, and any slight movement would cause water to flood the house.

Fortunately, the grain in the main room was stored on the big bed, so for the time being, everything was alright.

The heavy rain continued to fall relentlessly. Xiao Yishan held up an umbrella, while Fang Xingzhi laboriously poked at the ditch with an iron shovel.

There seemed to be nothing unusual in the ditch; it was open.

He then turned the shovel around and poked around in the ditch with the wooden handle, and it flowed through without any obstruction.

In other words, there is no problem with the irrigation canal.

The problem lies elsewhere, but he doesn't know where.

The two then paddled the planks to inspect another canal.

Yinyin pointed to the wall and said, "Mom, look, they're all on the wall."

Following the direction of her finger, Li Ruru finally saw the small, wet figures in the heavy rain.

The scaffolding in the yard was flooded, and chickens, ducks, and geese flew onto the fence.

They stood in a row, looking at everyone with a resentful and sorrowful expression.

Li Ruru rubbed her temples. No wonder!

She heard a lot of squeaking and squeaking all night; it turned out that the poultry had met with misfortune.

Fortunately, they are all very intelligent and have wings, so they can fly up the wall.

If it were pigs or sheep, they would have drowned.

Wait a minute, Li Ruru suddenly felt something was wrong; she seemed to have forgotten something.

"Mom, what's that?" Yinyin pointed towards the grape trellis.

There were many furry things floating in the water.

"Ah, it's...it's a rabbit!" Pepe covered her mouth.

More than a dozen rabbits, big and small, all suffered.

Chaochao was heartbroken; those were lives.

Yinyin was also heartbroken; so many spicy rabbit heads were gone just like that.

San Yatou used a stick to pull the drowned rabbits over one by one and scoop them out.

Peipei also pulled up a few live ones, wet and huddled together, looking like they were on the verge of death.

In the blink of an eye, rainwater had already flooded into the main room.

Their shoes were all wet. Li Ruru waved to the two people who were still busy in the yard and said, "Yishan, Master Fang, come inside quickly and don't worry about that."

This irrigation ditch can't be fixed anytime soon, and rainwater has already flooded in. We need to move the grain as soon as possible.

The two men, with their trousers rolled up, frowned when they saw the water in the main room.

Xiao Yishan asked, "Godmother, what do we do now?"

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation; there had never been such heavy rain in previous years.

Everyone looked at Li Ruru and assumed that she must have a way to get through this.

Li Ruru said, "Right now, only the house is flooded, but the house isn't leaking, so we still have a place to stay."

First, move all the things in the house to the bed, so they don't get soaked and ruined.

Everything in the house was earned by everyone selling konjac tofu bowl by bowl, so everyone obediently went to move things.

Suddenly, with a soft thud, large raindrops fell on Li Ruru's head.

She looked up and saw that a large part of the roof was wet.

The house is leaking? Before she could even react, the leak had already grown from a small droplet to a large droplet.

"Mom, it's leaking! The kitchen is leaking!"

"Mom, my room is leaking too!"

"Oh dear, water is leaking everywhere."
