June brought an increase in rainfall.
The sports day for Children's Day was postponed due to the rain.
The large pits by the roadside were filled with lots of stagnant water, and parents repeatedly cautioned their children to be extra careful on their way to school!
Then, as if overnight, amid the wind and rain, whispers began to spread.
It was said that the row of bungalows where Mrs. Zhen's business was located, along with the rows to its left and right, might be demolished for new building constructions!
Demolition was of course good news, after all, ground floor retail spaces were always more valuable than bungalows, plus the water and electrical facilities in the buildings would be more complete.
But demolition would indeed affect business! If they couldn't rent a new place in advance, they'd face a shutdown for a year or more!
After hearing the news, Mrs. Zhen had returned home with a frown for several days in a row.
