There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 237

[Chapter 237, Flood]

watched Yan Zhigao leave in a hurry, and everyone in the Yan family had no intention of eating.

After Daohua returned to her yard, she plunged into the study, rummaged for a while, and found a map of Jiguang Province. After reading the map, she frowned and said, “The Grand Canal also flows into Guangxi. How many people will be affected?”

Wang Man’er, Gu Yu, and Li Xia also looked worried: “Girl, won’t the embankment break in Jiguang Province affect us?”

Daohua was silent for a while: “Jiguang Province is in Zhongzhou Province. Up above, if the embankment breaks upstream, there will still be some impact downstream, but it’s a little far away from us, so don’t worry too much.”

Wang Man’er frowned and said, “Okay, why did the embankment burst?”

Gu Yu sneered and said: “ Why else, not every official is as diligent and caring as our master, it must be the officials of Jiguang Province who have embezzled the money used to build the river embankment.”

Daohua glanced at Gu Yu: “If this is the case in the courtyard It’s all right to talk about it, but after you go out, you can’t talk nonsense.”

Gu Yu immediately lowered his head: “Girl, I understand.”

Daohua didn’t say anything more, she warned Gu Yu, firstly because she didn’t want her to speak out and cause trouble, and secondly Yes, judging from the experience that Cheap Dad took over Xingzhou before, even if some officials wanted to do something practical, if the money was seized or owed, they would be helpless.

You can’t kill everyone with one shot.

In the next few days, Yan Zhigao was very busy, leaving early and returning late, and there were hardly any people in sight.

“Mother, what has father been up to the past few days?”

One day, Daohua came to the main courtyard early in the morning to say hello, and found that the cheap father had already gone to the government office, so she couldn’t help asking Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li: “I’m busy reinforcing the embankment.”

Daohua frowned: “Didn’t you say that the river embankments under my father’s jurisdiction are very stable?”

Mrs. Li’s face was solemn: “Your father is worried. He is worried that when Hong Feng comes over, the embankment will not be able to support it. It has been reinforced overnight these days.”

She said with a sigh.

“Your father received the news that several places in the upper reaches of the Grand Canal have burst their embankments, and the damage has been severe. This year’s floods have come fiercely and quickly, so your father has to cheer up.”

Daohua showed concern: ” So serious?”

Mrs. Li nodded heavily: “Which time the Grand Canal broke its embankment is not serious? Well, these things are not your concern, after breakfast, go to class quickly.”

Daohua nodded, Not much to say.

That afternoon, just after class, when Daohua was arranging the incense burning tools, she saw Wang Man’er walking over quickly, and whispered to her: “Girl, the uncle sent someone to deliver a letter, but after reading the letter, Madam sent a letter.” It ’s a big fire.”

Daohua suddenly looked surprised.

Her mother’s temperament can be said to be very gentle, and she hardly loses her temper usually, and it can make her furious. What big thing did her elder brother do?

Dao Hua quickly packed up her things, handed it to Li Xia, and then hurriedly walked towards the main courtyard.

On the way, I met Ping Tong.

“Miss, are you going to find Madam? Madam is not in the main courtyard, but in the old lady’s courtyard.”

After hearing this, Daohua quickly changed direction and walked quickly towards the old lady’s courtyard.

After a while, Daohua came to Songheyuan. As soon as she stepped into the old lady’s room, she noticed that both the old lady and her mother were not in a good mood.

“Grandmother, mother, what’s the matter? Brother, what did he do to annoy you both?”

Mrs. Yan glanced at her granddaughter, and tapped the letter on the table with her chin: ” Read for yourself.”

Dao Hua hurried forward, opened the letter and read it quickly, and after seeing the back, she understood why her mother and grandmother were so angry.

“Brother, they are going to Jiguang for disaster relief. This is also a rare experience.”

Before Daohua finished speaking, she was interrupted by Mrs. Yan: “Experience, what experience, the family is not trying to stop it Your brothers went out to practice, but they chose a good place.”

“Last time, I went to Fenxi, where the banditry is serious. This time, it’s good to go directly to the place where the flood happened. They think their life is too big. Don’t you just go where the danger is?”

Seeing that the old lady was really angry, Daohua didn’t dare to speak for her three brothers anymore.   Mrs. Yan

craned her neck to look outside the door, and said dissatisfiedly: “Why hasn’t the boss come back yet?

”

Zhigao walked in.

Old lady Yan pointed at Daohua: “Go, show your father the letter written by your elder brother.”

Daohua quickly handed over the letter.

Yan Zhigao took the letter, and after reading it, he frowned, and after a long silence, he looked at the old lady and Mrs. Li: “It’s rare that Wenxiu and the others are so thoughtful, if they want to go, let them go. ” Old lady Yan suddenly became angry: “What are you talking about? The flood is ruthless. When it   rushes

over, it will kill people.”

Didn’t you follow the little prince? There must be a lot of guards around the young prince, and his safety is guaranteed.”

“Besides, this is also a rare experience. After the birth of a few children, our family is not very rich. But they don’t have to worry about food and clothing, so that these children don’t know the feeling of suffering at all, just take this opportunity to let them see the suffering in this world.”

Mrs. Yan was still a little reluctant: “It’s too dangerous.”

Yan Zhi Gao patiently said: “Mother, children always have to grow up. Wenxiu is the son of Yan’s eldest son, and he will become a family in the future. Wenkai and Wentao are also boys. Boys can’t grow up without wind and rain. Bar?”

Mrs. Yan remained silent, and finally looked at Mrs. Li: “What do you say?”

Although Mrs. Li was full of reluctance, she also knew that boys should walk and see more while they are young, and have experienced a lot. Only then can I resist the responsibility on my shoulders, so I whispered: “I listen to the master.” Hearing

this, the old lady Yan sighed: “That’s all, you parents don’t worry, I am an old woman who still fucks so much Whatever you want to do, let you go. But, Zhiqiang and Wu, you have to go and talk about it yourself.”

Mrs. Li stood up immediately: “Mother, don’t worry, I will go and talk to my third brother and sister. ”

Old lady Yan waved her hand and told them to leave.

After the people left, Daohua sat next to the old lady, snuggled up to her, and said with a smile, “Grandmother, don’t worry too much. Third brother, you know that water is one of the best in Yanjia Village. I can swim or not.” He taught it.” The

old lady Yan said angrily: “How dare you mention this, you are a girl from a family, and you actually learn how to swim in the river like a boy, and your third brother is an accomplice even if he doesn’t say to stop you Last time, I really hit it lightly.”

Daohua shook the old lady’s arm: “Oh, grandma, being able to swim is also a survival skill. Think about it, if I fall into the river, will it be more difficult than People who can’t swim have a chance of survival?” The

old lady snorted, “I’m too lazy to talk to you.”

Seeing that the anger on the old lady’s face faded, Daohua smiled, and then called out: “Oh, grandma, I have to go and prepare some common medicine for my three brothers, but don’t get sick, I’ll come and have dinner with you later!”

Seeing her granddaughter running away in a hurry, Mrs. Yan shook her head helplessly. Shaking his head: “Fortunately, it’s a girl, otherwise, it would be more troublesome than her three brothers.”
