When Shui Yue led people to the kitchen to get lunch, it was bustling inside.
Nanny Jin stood under the veranda, raising her voice to talk with the steward, Li Deshun's wife.
Shui Yue was not far from them and happened to hear snippets about the rain soaking the firewood, causing a delay, and then they mentioned that the wind and rain were so severe that fresh goods from the village couldn't be delivered to the city. The kitchen had to economize in the coming days. They also said that many farmers outside the city suffered disasters due to last night's thunder, and if not for the rain, the thunderfire might have burned their homes down.
As Shui Yue left with a food box under an umbrella, the two were talking about Miao Family rushing out, probably unable to return soon.
Due to the rain, just after 3:00 PM, it had already turned dark outside, not like in July, but as if winter had arrived.
