"Ah, Sister Xi'er, what are you saying? I don't understand," Qiao Lian'er said.

"Are you still pretending to be confused with me? Shen Liang and Shi Murou were doing fine, and suddenly such a deep rift appeared. Something must have happened."

"Sister Xi'er, you really want to hear it?"

"I want to listen, but I don't have any illusions about Shen Liang. I think it will be very interesting, just like listening to a storybook."

Qiao Lian'er glanced at her face; she truly didn't care about Shen Liang at all, just like someone watching a stranger's spectacle.

She then told Qiao Xi'er the whole story from beginning to end.

"I never imagined Shen Liang would be so ruthless to himself, and I never imagined the Shen family would have such insidious schemes." Qiao Xi'er said with lingering fear, "Luckily, I saw through them early on, otherwise, what would I have done in the future?"

"Sister Xi'er, your good fortune is yet to come," Qiao Lian'er said with a smile.

"It's not that I want to marry someone really good. As long as he has a sincere heart, is hardworking, and treats me well, that's enough for me." Qiao Lian'er buried herself in her work.

At this point, the Shen family was in complete chaos.

Upon returning to the Shen family, Shen Liang flew into a rage, cursing them for ruining his future.

When the Shen family heard that the Shi family did not approve of the marriage, they were all devastated and cried and wailed.

Seeing the commotion at the Shen family's house, the villagers all went to see what was going on, and soon the news spread throughout the entire village.

"You don't know, Shen Liang suddenly picked up a kitchen knife and was about to slash at the Shen family. They all hurriedly dodged, some running into the wall, some running into the pillar."

"Originally, I thought that by marrying the only daughter of a wealthy family, I could eat their bloodline and seize their property, and then return to the family line for three generations."

"Who would have thought that the Shen family would be so impatient as to spread such thoughts? They even went to the Qiao family and asked them to marry their daughter to Shen Liang as a concubine. If Miss Shi finds out, how can she tolerate it?"

"In the end, it's because he was too flamboyant. After all, he came from a humble background, and even with all the wealth God gave him, he couldn't hold onto it."

"..."

Some villagers felt sorry for the situation, some gloated, some despised it, and some summarized the lessons learned.

This whole affair was quite a show.

After lunch, during their break, everyone sat in the square, eating sunflower seeds and chatting.

Today, because of the commotion caused by the Shen family, there are especially many people chatting in the dam area.

Qiao Zhizhi also pulled Qiao Lian'er to join in the fun, and the two of them felt particularly comfortable listening to everyone's discussion.

Lian'er breathed a sigh of relief; this matter was finally over.

She stood up: "Sister Zizi, let's take a walk by the river."

"Sister Lian'er, what's the point of walking along the river? You might fall in if you're not careful."

“For flood control, a bridge is not enough; we need to combine it with other methods.” Qiao Lian’er had been keeping this in mind, but there was just not enough time. Building dams and reservoirs would be much more expensive and require ten or even dozens of times more manpower, and there might not even be suitable locations. Building a bridge was the best option at the moment.

Therefore, with some additional measures, let's try to get through this year's floods safely.

Seeing the two sisters head towards the river, Song Ruier's eyes darted around, and she followed them.

Who knows, Qiao Lian'er might have come up with another way to make money.
