"The flood is such a big deal, are we still waiting for a girl to make the decision? Aren't you ashamed? I feel sorry for my girl."

After Father Ye finished speaking, Boss Ye was not idle either, and said fiercely, "Even though the drought has just passed, the clan now has money and food, and most of it is due to my younger sister."

"I didn't take a single cent of the dividends the tribe talked about. I even paid out of my own pocket to buy food and send it back to the tribe."

"If it rains, my mother will get married. If you still want to rely on my little sister for everything, my family will move to the city now and never come back."

The head of the village was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he opened his mouth, wishing he were a mute.

Being protected, Ye Guo felt a warm current in his heart. It seemed that all the anxiety he had been feeling during these days had finally found a place to rest.

"Dad, big brother, I'm fine." Ye Guo smiled softly, "Doctor Peng has also seen Third Master. There's nothing for me to do here, so I'll go back first."

Ye Guo actually didn’t care. She even knew that in the end, people would still ask for her opinion on many things.

But now that Dad and eldest brother have said so, if she stays, she would be slapping them in the face.

No one is more important than family. This is Ye Guo’s only principle in life since he entered the book.

The village head wanted to die, and he didn't know what he had done to offend Old Man Ye. He could only watch him leave helplessly, not even daring to say a word to keep him.

Ye Laoer had just arrived in Yongzhou Prefecture and completed the employment procedures. Without even having time to catch his breath, he rushed straight to Changhua County with Ye Zifeng.

Some of the letters that Ye Guo wrote to urge him to leave went to the imperial city, and some were on the way. In any case, he received very few.

But even if we haven't received the letter, it is not difficult to guess that the situation in Changhua is very bad now.

But just as we set out, it started to rain.

"Uncle, what should we do?" It's not a modern cement road. The official road in Daqing is flat at best. It becomes muddy when it rains. The time taken to get there has more than doubled.

Although both of their carriages were wrapped in waterproof tarpaulin, water still seeped through some places after being exposed to the rain for a long time.

"Let's stop at the next inn for a night and see if the rain will stop." Ye Laoer said. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the rain would not stop.

When he arrived at the post station and changed his wet clothes, he found the postmaster and asked him about the distance to the next post station and whether he had all the necessary equipment, such as fast horses and straw raincoats.

After getting the definite answer, Ye Laoer didn't say anything, but ate and drank enough with Ye Zifeng and slept peacefully for a whole night.

When he got up the next day, he put the raincoat with rainproof oilcloth inside in front of Ye Zifeng, and he also took one and put it on.

"I asked the postmaster to prepare some ginger soup. You drink a bowl first, then fill the bamboo tube with ginger soup. We will take the household registration and other things that can prove our identity. I have already discussed the rest with the postmaster, and someone will send it back when the weather is good."

"It will take at least five or six days to rush back from here. Riding a horse can offset the time lost due to the rain." Ye Laoer was still worried.

"Whether the rain stops or not, you have to arrive on time. Go back early and feel at ease."

Second Uncle was thinking about himself, and everything was ready, so there was no room for choice. Ye Zifeng quickly finished his breakfast and went back to the house to pack up.

They drove all the way, and stopped at post stations to rest for a while. Even if they were in a hurry, they would eat, drink and sleep well at night, and never travel at night.

The group of people who came with them from the imperial city stopped in Yongzhou Prefecture and did not move forward, saying that there was no order from His Majesty.

In fact, everyone understands that they are just afraid of death and want to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

This was also the reason why Ye An wanted to take root in the capital city. Compared with the backward villages with extremely inconvenient transportation, the cities that have developed for dozens or hundreds of years can only measure their ability to withstand natural disasters, and the money in their hands.

Ye Laoer brought Ye Zifeng and the six guards he brought from Yongzhou Prefecture, and at this moment they just wanted to return to the village as soon as possible.

He didn't know yet that Yejia Village had already received news of the flood.

Old Lady Ye was in a state of ups and downs. The news of the flood must have spread all over the county. At this time, the role of the men in the family was particularly obvious.

Old Man Ye and Boss Ye haven't come back yet. Old Lady Ye wants to go to the county town to appease Wang, but she doesn't have a man to accompany her, so she is a little hesitant for a while.

"Mom, you and sister-in-law go first. I'll get two people to escort you there. Wait until Dad has discussed it all, and then we'll see whether he decides to go or not." Ye Guo still hoped that they would go. She had no objection whether they went or not.

"But don't worry, you know Dad's character. If he doesn't go today, he will go tomorrow. My second brother is not here, and my second sister-in-law has been living in the county town for so long because of her pregnancy. Dad has only been there once. This time, for such a big event, he will definitely go there in person."

Ye Guo's words dispelled Old Lady Ye's hesitation. Seeing Old Lady Ye's eyes on Ye Wan again, Ye Guo couldn't help but comfort her, "Don't worry, Xiao Wan is under my care. I'm still staying in Yejia Village."

"But there is one thing you need to tell the Wang family separately, mother."

"Now is not the time to make money. We must not hoard food in a big way."

Hearing this, Old Lady Ye could no longer sit still. The Wang family had money to store food, so it would be better to tell them about such an important matter as soon as possible.

If the Wang family did something wrong and it involved the baby in Wang's belly, it would be a big disaster.

After sending Old Lady Ye away, Ye Guo went straight to meet Liang Yuan who had specially come down from the mountain.

Liang Yuan's clothes were new and his hair was not dry yet.

"Commander Liang, thank you for your hard work. How is the progress over there? How many people can the tree house that has been built accommodate?"

Ye Guo personally poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over, then asked in detail.

"It shouldn't be a problem for thousands of people. But now the rain is getting heavier, and it's too dangerous to build a new tree house. All we can do now is to repeatedly reinforce the ones that have been built before."

Ye Guo was already very satisfied with this number.

"Some people in the village will start moving today. After they leave, send someone to check and see if there are any leftover items that can be used."

"There is also the issue of food and lodging for your subordinates. Don't be polite, take some of the food and store it away for yourselves. I'm worried that I won't be able to take care of them as time goes by."

Ye Guo was serious about what she said. Liang Yuan had been with her for so long and knew her character well. He knew that she was not being pretentious but was really thinking about them.

Since there was a flood, they were risking their lives here, so they nodded in agreement.
