Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Qiao Jianer analyzed, "I came up from below and discovered that due to the constant flooding, there's a lot of sediment at the bottom of this river, raising the riverbed. If we dredge this section of sand and deepen the river, it will be able to accommodate more floodwaters and reduce the amount of water that overflows into the paddy fields."

Zhao Lizheng nodded as he listened: "Go on."

Qiao Jianer faced downwards and pointed to an area.

"There's a large depression there, connected to several large fissures leading to the mountains. We could dig a diversion channel to divert some of the floodwaters into the depression and then into the fissures. There's no farmland in that area of ​​the depression, so this wouldn't affect the rice. This depression is above almost all the paddy fields, so this diversion would significantly reduce the pressure on the paddy fields below. Furthermore, the deepening of the river channel and the bridges will mitigate the impact, making the impact largely harmless to the rice."

Zhao Lizheng's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but slap his forehead.

"Oh, why haven't we thought of this before? Everyone is just busy raising the ridges of the farmland, but those ridges collapse when floods hit. What you said is the real solution."

"If every household goes out, there is still half a month left, which is more than enough." Qiao Lianer said.

"Okay, I'll mobilize the whole village and do as you say."

"Many people are not at home right now, so let's prepare today and tell each other tomorrow so we can get the equipment together."

Zhao Lizheng thought for a moment and said, "Jian'er, when I see results, I will report your contribution to the county, then to the state capital, and perhaps even further. You will be rewarded."

Qiao Jianer said, "It's good to have a reward, but even if there's no reward, saving so much farmland is still a good deed for me."

Of course she wants it if there are benefits. She won't be stupid enough to say she doesn't want anything. Only a fool would say she doesn't want it.

And although she saved these farmlands out of consideration for the villagers, it was mainly for the Qiao family and for her mother.

If the result is of great benefit to everyone, she deserves the reward.

Soon, Li Zheng Zhao gathered all the villagers on the dam and told them the two plans.

"Everyone over the age of twelve must work in the river, digging diversion channels. We must all work together to deal with the flood disaster that is coming in two weeks."

The villagers frowned and exchanged glances with each other.

Some people said, "This idea sounds good, but there's a lot of work to do in the fields. If we spend every day in this river, how will we handle our work at home?"

This person started the conversation, and the others also started to clamor in dissatisfaction.

"Yeah, I thought the bridge was going to be built and it would be completely flood-proof, but why are there so many problems now?"

Zhao Lizheng sneered, "Who told you we could completely prevent this? Jian'er said it back then, it's to prevent flooding, not to completely save your crops. Bridges primarily serve as buffers. With heavy rain during the rainy season, some crops will still be washed away. Without deepening the river and diverting the water, the losses won't be as severe as in previous years. At least 20% to 30%."

"Two or three percent is not your life? That's the two or three percent you pay in taxes."

"Also, the county government provided all the materials and craftsmen for the construction of this bridge. We also raised a lot of money from kind people. Just to build a bridge for our village to protect it from floods, and we do nothing? How can that be justified?"

"To achieve the greatest success in flood prevention, we need the efforts of all parties involved. Our village benefits the most, so we must also contribute."

Boss Song held his waist and leaned on his cane, saying sinisterly, "So, it's Qiao Jian'er who deceived everyone. They said she's not a good person without a father to look after her."

"Yes, at that time, Qiao Jianer was so confident that he thought everything would be fine as long as a bridge was built. He never expected that the villagers would need to contribute manpower." Shen's arms were hanging up, and a tuft of hair was missing from her head. She also pouted.

The emotions of the villagers were aroused by them. Some people showed dissatisfaction on their faces and talked in low voices, and their voices became louder and louder.

"Shut up!"

Zhao Lizheng shouted sternly, and the discussions stopped.

His sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, and his square face was full of majesty, making people feel an indescribable pressure.

"Let me ask you, did Jianer ask you to pay a penny? Did I ask you to pay a penny?"

"Did you pay anything? Did Kamaer make a final promise? Did he say that all we needed to do was build a bridge? Did he say that building a bridge would completely solve the problem? None of that."

"Flood prevention is a major issue, and every aspect must be addressed. There are both front-end and back-end issues to be resolved. Building bridges is just the beginning, and everyone must make an effort and contribute."

"The bridge is being built, and you're just waiting for good things. You're working hard to dig a diversion channel, and you're complaining. Let me ask you, what is the purpose of building the bridge? Why are you digging the river? It's not for anything else, it's for your family's land."

"Okay, then there's no need to dig, just wait for the disaster."

"But this bridge alone can protect you from six or seven disasters. This is an unprecedented achievement. What I said before is valid. The Qiao family's divorce agreement is completely valid and there will be no changes. If you report it to the county government, the county magistrate will also support it. The county government has never seen such a good result."

After Zhao Lizheng finished speaking, he waved his arm and turned his back to everyone, his chest heaving with anger.

The Qiao family members were also there, and they were all moved when they saw Zhao Lizheng protecting Jianer like this.

Building a bridge was the emergency measure that Jianer thought of at the time. Under such circumstances, the only goal was to overcome the immediate difficulties. It was impossible to be perfect, and it was natural that there would be subsequent supplements.

This project has been under construction for half a month, and the villagers have not been asked to contribute anything. However, there is no reason for everyone to just sit there and wait. Everyone is needed now. This is to prevent disasters for everyone, and everyone's contribution is also a kind of awareness.

The villagers were silent for a while, and some of them looked ashamed.

Yes, it's for their fields, for their crops, and they have to contribute.

Someone said, "If everyone goes down to the river, there will be no one to take care of the household affairs. Can we leave a few people in each household to feed the chickens, ducks, and pigs, remove weeds and pests in the fields, and collect firewood?"

Zhao Lizheng thought for a moment and said, "I've neglected this. Each family will leave three people behind, including the women. All the men will go down to the river. Discuss this a bit. Those who stay at home must register with Mr. Wang. They must go digging the river channel and diversion channel before dark at the latest. They'll be called on at that time. There's still half a month left, so no one can be lazy."

"If there's something special that really requires help, please let me know."

Mr. Wang had already set up a table on the dam. After Zhao Lizheng finished speaking, everyone discussed for a while and then went there to register.

At first, everyone thought that the bridge could completely withstand floods, and they were reluctant and unable to accept the fact that they still had to work. Now that they know the reason, they have become more motivated for the sake of their own crops.

Boss Song came up to Zhao Lizheng on crutches and said, "No matter what I say, it's all because Qiao Jian'er didn't think things through at the beginning and lacked someone to discipline her, so there were oversights. From the day Qiao Yunni divorced the Song family, Qiao Jian'er became my daughter. Zhao Lizheng, I hope you can support me and let me discipline her properly."
