Upon hearing this, the crowd fell instantly silent.
It took quite a while before everyone began whispering - it really was a coincidence, wasn't it?
But thinking about it carefully, it was just expected.
Mud brick walls and thatch roofs are inherently fragile. Diligent families sweep the snow off their roofs each year, replace the thatch, and check their beams annually. The son of Lu Sannong, however, was too lazy to do these tasks, so it was inevitable their rotting wooden beams could not withstand the accumulated snow.
Lu Ernong sighed and asked hurriedly if there were any casualties.
The man who brought the news replied, "No one was hurt, don't worry! The roof collapsed in the morning when the children were outside playing in the snow and the adults were lying on the bed. Fortunately, the piece of the roof right over them didn't collapse. They were really lucky."
Since no one was injured, Feng Qingxue felt relieved.
