Dressed as a top-notch girl, leading the whole village to become rich

"Uncle, is this the flood that the national master talked about?" Ye Ande, who had been learning the craft from the old carpenter, was an honest man and couldn't help but ask.

Father Ye shook his head calmly, "A real flood can submerge the entire Yejia Village. This is just the beginning."

But now is not the time to be sad. Father Ye turned his head and looked at Ye Ande, "Ade, the King of Hell waits for no one. Your family is in trouble first, and the village will help. You should first properly settle your father."

"There are some things in the old house that your father would miss even until his death. You should dig them out. Take them away if you can. If you can't take them away, bury them in your father's grave when the time comes."

"There are also things that we usually use at home. Everything that needs to be collected should be collected in advance. The rain has been non-stop, so don't wait until it gets wet."

Before he could finish his words, the head of the village arrived, as well as Anshun from the third master's family, and young people from the other two clan elders' families, as well as young people from other families, all came over one after another.

With Old Man Ye and the head of the village taking the lead, Yejia Village had a backbone. After settling this family securely, the large group hurried to the next one, with calls for help coming one after another.

More than half of the houses in Yejia Village are built against the mountain. It rained so hard last night that landslides and fallen trees were seen everywhere.

Many houses were damaged, and most of them were kitchens, with a lot of food and other things buried in the soil.

It has been raining, and if everyone hadn't worked together, all the buried things would have been gone in a short time.

The women were crying as they packed up their belongings in their home, preparing for the upcoming move.

The old carpenter didn't even have a proper funeral. With the help of his family, he changed into a new set of clothes, and was hastily buried with his usual carpentry plane and the high-quality wood he had always dreamed of.

And all these things were done in one morning.

Before everyone went their separate ways, the clan called everyone together for a meeting. It was not a representative meeting, but one attended by all men, women, young and old.

The oil press in the center of the village was packed with people standing on all sides. Some people even had no room to stand, so they just held up oil-paper umbrellas to get by.

In short, everyone who could come came, and there were many women holding babies in their arms.

The three elders of the clan were also present, and they were carried here by others.

When Ye Guo arrived, the crowd automatically made way for him, and those who were originally greeting each other suddenly fell silent at the same time.

There were originally seven chairs on the platform, and Ye Guo's seat was arranged in the center.

The head of the village first rubbed his face with both hands, then he went on stage, pressed his hands down, and began to preside over today's clan meeting.

"The three elders are not in good health, so they asked me to preside over today's clan meeting. Everyone present is a member of the Ye family tree."

"The national master said that a flood is coming. Although we are reluctant to leave, nothing is more important than life. So this is the last clan meeting of our Yejia Village before we move away due to the flood."

"There are three main things I want to talk about this time."

"The first thing is: the three elders are old, so the tribe has elected three new elders, namely Ye Yanhe, Ye Xiande, and Ye Chengjie."

Once the candidates were announced, everyone accepted them very quickly.

Ye Yanhe is Ye's father, and no one has any objection. Ye Xiande is the son of the eldest grandfather, and has always been highly respected in the clan. Ye Chengjie is from the third grandfather's family, a student, and the father of Ye Anshun.

Seeing that no one objected, the village head continued speaking.

"The second thing is: the tribe bought a lot of food before the move. Before the move, each family came to collect food based on the number of people, 30 kilograms per person."

As soon as the words fell, there were bursts of joy and cheers. At this time, they could still receive so much life-saving food. The people present were visibly happy. Some even shed tears uncontrollably. Some people, regardless of the object, hugged the people closest to them tightly.

Even the three elders on the stage raised their arms happily.

It took about a quarter of an hour for the crowd to gradually quiet down. At this time, the village head no longer had the smile on his face, and said solemnly.

"The third thing is that starting today, Yejia Village will begin to move out."

"Those who have nowhere to go, don't worry, pack up your things. We don't know when we'll be back, so take everything you can... If you still have chickens or ducks at home, kill them as soon as possible and have a good meal. The leftovers can be salted and smoked dry..."

When the village head said these words, tears welled up in his eyes and he choked up several times and couldn't continue speaking.

Finally, he even turned around and calmed down before speaking again, but this time, what he said was instructions, reminders, and warnings.

"Fellow villagers, except for the clan members, you are all members of the Ye clan, with the same surname. When you encounter difficulties, you must help each other and never allow the killing of fellow clan members to happen. Once discovered, you will not be forgiven."

After finishing speaking, the village head first looked at Old Man Ye standing beside him, and when he saw the latter nod, he gave Ye Guo an ugly smile and said, "Xiao Guo, please say a few words."

Since Ye Guo was here, he was naturally prepared.

She stood up from her seat and took a step forward.

There were many familiar faces in the audience, some had sent her fruits and vegetables, some had given her new clothes, some had cared about her health... Almost everyone had dealt with her to some extent and watched her grow up day by day.

Maybe it was because of her status as a county lady, or maybe it was because she was wearing a tight outfit with gold thread trim today, but everyone looked at her with hope in their eyes.

Even the heroine in the crowd wanted to hear Ye Guo's true words at this moment.

"Dear fellow villagers, I am Ye Guo. I grew up in Yejia Village, and you all watched me grow up."

“The flood is coming and there is nothing we can do about it, but no matter what, our roots are here.”

"The current suffering and pain are temporary. Today's separation is only temporary. When everything gets better, we will gather here again. By then, I hope that everyone present today will not be left behind!"

Ye Guo's voice was not loud and he did not say much, but every word he spoke seemed to carry the magic of hope.

Especially the last sentence, which seemed to express the thoughts of everyone present.

Someone suddenly raised his hand and shouted, "Not one less."

“Not one less.”

No one knew who started it, but the crowd began to repeat Ye Guo's last words over and over again until their voices became hoarse.
