Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 317

The losses suffered by everyone had to be reported first to the authorities, so that they could request funds to compensate for the damages caused by the natural disaster.

After all, although it wasn’t like ancient times when people relied solely on God for their livelihood, these were still the hard-earned efforts of farmers over a year. Now that their hard work had been washed away, it was a desperate situation for most families.

A single heavy rain could destroy numerous households.

“Our crops have been ruined by this heavy rain. Look at how our fields have been washed away. It’s truly hateful, the heavens have no eyes!”

“Yeah, their fields are a bit better. They’re on higher ground in the east. Even though it rained, at least they didn’t get flooded. Their crops might still be saved. This rain is just too hateful!”

After the heavy rain finally stopped, the villagers emerged to curse the heavens for their cruelty.

But there was no way around it, they could only try to temporarily compensate based on individual losses.

Fortunately, some funds had been mobilized from other provinces, and even some celebrities had donated to their village and county.

Some of these funds had already been distributed to the families, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.

That day, Lu Ting excitedly rode back from the county, saying he had come to prepare something.

The four children had no idea why Lu Ting was back, especially since Sheng Fei hadn’t returned home yet.

Because Sheng Fei was currently at school with Lu Sanya. It seemed she was focusing on Lu Sanya’s future development, so only four children remained at home.

“Uncle, what do you have in your arms? What is that? It looks mysterious. Uncle, why won’t you tell me what it is?”

“Yeah, Uncle, you came back an hour earlier than usual today. I remember that you used to come home later than Mom. What’s up today, and what are you carrying?”

“You’re talking about this? It’s a gift I bought for Sheng Fei. You four didn’t know? Today is Sheng Fei’s birthday!”

“Ah, it’s Mom’s birthday. We didn’t know. Uncle, you should have told us. What are we going to do? Mom will be back with Sanya soon, and we haven’t prepared any gifts. No, we also need to prepare gift for mom.”

Since it was Sheng Fei’s birthday, Lu Ting had specifically returned an hour early to prepare a meal and give her a surprise before she got home.

Once the four children learned it was Sheng Fei’s birthday, they hurriedly ran back to their rooms to prepare gifts.

At such a young age, Lu Sanya had already achieved more than her peers. Even the teachers at school said she had talent, and with proper guidance, she could be as good as many big stars.

Who knows, Lu Sanya might become a star in the future.

Hearing the teachers say this made Sheng Fei very happy. She discussed Lu Sanya’s future with the teachers and some higher-ups.

Before she knew it, an hour had passed.

It was time for her to go home and cook, but since she hadn’t prepared a meal yet, it would likely be late by the time she got home.

The mischievous children wouldn’t be happy if they didn’t have any food.

Thinking of this, Sheng Fei urged Lu Sanya to go back with her quickly so she could cook for her brothers.
