The rain was still falling, and the old lady saw that Shen Yu was thinly dressed, wrapped her cloak around her, and admonished: "Ayu, you bring a few more people and come back quickly." Money is something outside the body, and God is going to have a flood, which is also something that cannot be helped. ”

Shen Yu nodded solemnly, turned around and disappeared into the busy night.

The old lady said that money and wealth are things outside the body, and the second lady Song disagreed very much.

If the flood really reaches Qingshui Town and floods everything, how will the rest of the days be lived? Food, clothing, housing and transportation, which are indispensable for money.

Thinking about it another way, the flood is also an opportunity.

She quietly slipped out of the main courtyard and went to Tsurujudo, where the old lady had a lot of good things. In the event of a natural disaster, the family has a lot of miscellaneous hands, and there is no way to find out what is lost.

Sheng Yun'er was nearby, and she saw the second lady tiptoeing out of the door and quietly followed.

As soon as the flood came out, the mayor, including the police department, and the town's prominent merchants, organized to discharge the flood.

We must think of ways to divert the flood water and bypass the town of Qingshui, where the people live.

At the moment of crisis, there are people who contribute and who make powerful contributions, and no one is ambiguous.

Shen Yu quickly understood the situation, the embankment was only a dilee in disrepair, and several low-lying tea plantations nearby were flooded.

In the flooded tea plantations, there are two places of the Sheng family.

Shen Yu stood on the high ground, looking at the ocean not far away, the tea trees had long been invisible.

The people who came out to discuss were all the heads of each family, all men, and Shen Yu's thin body was sandwiched between these people, so it was very conspicuous.

The conservative head of the family was displeased: "Grandma Sheng Da will go back first, the flood discharge is a man's business, and you can't help much." ”

A woman who is not honest in the courtyard of a deep house, showing her face, in a group of men, what kind of system.

The men in Qingshui Town are not so incompetent that they want a woman to support the scene.

Shen Yu's appearance is a question and an insult to them.

The mountain wind was wrapped in the cold rain, Shen Yu gently wrapped the cloak on her body, her eyes were calm, calmer than everyone present, she said: "There is also the Sheng family's tea garden that has been flooded, I am a family member, so I naturally want to come to check." ”

"It's all flooded, you don't know everything, what's the use of coming now?" Someone said unceremoniously.

Before he could say more, a tall figure suddenly appeared behind him.

Shen Huai'an's tone was unceremoniously, "It's the heads of the families who came to discuss today, didn't you say that women can't come, right?" ”

was threatened by a junior, and the man said angrily: "Shen Huai'an, even your father has to respect me for three points, you actually did it with me for a woman, don't forget, this is the eldest young grandmother of the Sheng family!" ”

Seeing that the conflict was intensifying, someone suddenly ran over and said: "Oh no, there is another levee breach, and the water is too big to stop it at all." ”

Heavy rain for days and too much water upstream are not at all alleviated by sacrificing a few tea plantations.

The mayor's brow furrowed, and he asked, "Guys, what can I do about this?" ”

This mayor's surname is Yang, and he is a new official who took office not long ago. In a place like Qingshui Town, where businessmen gather, he has no money, no prestige, and he can only ask everyone's opinions in case of trouble.

He said again: "Quick, go and block it, you must not flood the town." ”

If Qingshui Town is flooded, it will be a stain on his political achievements, and it will be difficult to be promoted in the future.

The flood could not wait for a moment, and it was proposed: "Raise the levees, all of them, and gather all the labor forces in the town to act together." ”

Raising the levee is a huge project.

Shen Yu stared at the topographic map on the table, her eyes moved slightly, and she quickly thought of something.

Everyone was discussing their strategies for action, and when she looked up, she saw a familiar face.

Zhou Xingqi pointed to the topographic map and said: "There are still many streams and reservoirs near Qingshui Town, if a gap is opened here to let the water flow to the low-lying places, you can make full use of the streams in this area to discharge floodwater, and the town can be saved." ”

Shen Yu's eyes moved slightly, and the two of them obviously thought of one thing.

It's just that if the flood is artificially discharged, a large area of tea plantations will be flooded.

Zhou Xingqi put forward his ideas, and the irrelevant people applauded, but the few involved frowned.

Tea trees are flooded, and they have to be re-cultivated and planted, and the loss is not a star.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the rain has not stopped, and even if the levees are raised, they will only last for a while. But if you follow what I just said, even if it rains for another three or five days, Qingshui Town will be fine. Zhou Xingqi said.

He was born with a cold face, with few expressions, and he spoke with great seriousness.

When it comes to their own interests, merchants are still hesitant.

Shen Yu stood up and said, "According to what I said just now, half of the covered ones are the Sheng family's tea gardens, but as long as the town can be saved, I have no objection." ”

The merchants were stunned and looked at Shen Yu in surprise one by one.

The faint light of a nearby lantern outlined the contours of her face unusually soft, her eyes were calm, her eyebrows were sparkling, and she had the demeanor of a female general.

A simple sentence is worth a thousand words.

Those merchants who despise Shen Yu are ashamed of themselves, and they can sacrifice their own interests to hold the town, which is a great righteousness.

Shen Huai'an also said: "My Shen family has no objections. ”

The two most involved interests both nodded, and the others didn't say anything anymore.

The mayor immediately gave an order to open the embankment on one side to discharge the flood.

Shen Yu stood on the high ground, she watched the flood roar by, like thousands of troops, everywhere she went, there was an ocean.

Watching the painstakingly managed tea plantation go to ruin, she felt her heart skip a beat.

Her slender fingers gripped the railing lightly, knuckles distinct.

Zhou Xingqi wanted to walk over inexplicably, he wanted to stand by her side and resist the cold rain and cold wind for her.

The flood crisis was temporarily lifted, and Mayor Yang expressed his sincere gratitude, "Grandma, you are a reasonable person, and I thank you on behalf of the people of the town." ”

Shen Yu smiled reluctantly, she did this for herself.

If the flood is not released now, and the flood enters the town, the ancestral house of the Sheng family will also be flooded, and the tea house will be destroyed, and the loss at that time will not be weighed on here.

At that time, if the rain still didn't stop, the tea garden would naturally not be able to be saved.

What she can do is stop losses as much as possible.

It was already dawn, Shen Yu returned to the Sheng family exhausted, and the family was gathering in the main hall to nap.

When they heard that the crisis had been resolved, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and went back to their respective settlements.

Fortunately, the weather was beautiful, and the next day, the rain became lighter, and there was a faint trend of sunny days.

When Shen Huai'an returned home, he was scolded as soon as he entered the door.
