Chapter 273: Releasing Flood Water to Save People

At this moment, the water level in the bucket was steadily dropping, like a line between life and death.

It lies across the two ends of the river.

Born here, died there.

The water that kept overflowing, filling the bowl and running rampant seemed like a predetermined tragic ending.

Not to mention, in the past, it would have been a pipe dream to expect such a large flood to last for ten days or half a month.

If the river water keeps pouring in from that side, Nanling can't stop either.

What's more, if we wait for another ten days or half a month there, I'm afraid there will be no hope.

Old Master Su was silent for a long time.

The house was empty and silent.

Brother Heng looked around and said, "I think Sister's method is very good. As long as the floodwater is released, we can save people."

The children's words could not dispel the coldness in the house.

Finally, someone raised their head, and then everyone raised their heads.

Old Master Su spoke first, "Why don't we all vote and practice democracy for once?"

The truth is, this time he is bound to implicate everyone.

Zong Zheng Ruijin has already stated that he will not provide any manpower, material or financial resources, so the Su family will have to bear the responsibility themselves.

But this time, my granddaughter's wired facilities were also severely damaged.

Because she didn't focus on those things and chose to relocate the people first.

But the disaster situation in the two states is very different.

They couldn't get through and could only help the river drain the water.

In order to quickly reduce the water level there.

But all these aspects still cannot bypass the political power.

After Old Master Su lowered his head and raised his hand, everyone else raised their hands one by one.

Grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt, eldest brother and sister-in-law, fourth sister, second aunt, second brother.

Dad, Mom, Third Brother, and Brother Heng.

And she...

It was passed unanimously...

Su Shengsheng was distracted and glared at Xie Xuan who raised his hand to express his opinion. "Is your hand cramping?"

Why are you still carrying it?

Mrs. Li was very pleased. "A son-in-law is half a son, and it counts on both the palm and the back of the hand."

But that's not what someone meant at all.

Xie Xuan's eyebrows were cold, "I object."

You really don’t know what your last name is, right?

Are you coming here to challenge everyone with the surname Su?

Although Xie Xuan didn't want to discourage his wife's enthusiasm, he was very pertinent for once, "Even if you succeed, you won't be able to sell it well."

The Su family was silent.

After taking a glance, Xie Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

Su family, how come you can't face reality?

That is not saving the people of the two states, that is cutting flesh to feed the wolves.

Although those two states may not be like this now, they are unable to be self-reliant. In other words, they have to rely on the Su family to survive the winter. If they can't survive the winter, they have to wait until the autumn to have a harvest.

During this period, even if the Su family retreated once, they would be repeatedly whipped and scolded.

After supporting the people of the two states for a year, can the Su family's money still save themselves?

This is very realistic, okay?

He didn't want his beautiful wife to be sucked dry.

Besides, if the river water had already gotten out of control and flooded the things that could not be flooded, wouldn’t his wife be punished?

This is not selfish, he just has only one wife.

Can't just watch the Su family, it's so unrealistic, right?

It has to be said that Xie Xuan pointed out Su Shengsheng's hidden worries.

Someone must take over from here.

In the face of the disaster, one can almost imagine the three countries passing the buck.

Saving people is not a success; we have to keep them alive.

But how can they be self-reliant?

The land was flooded, the houses collapsed, summer turned into winter, and it was difficult for them to survive.

And once they take over, Beirong will shamelessly hand everything over to them without caring about the lives of the people.

But the food rations for the people in the two states are not a small amount.

The Su family is making a lot of money now, but they have to provide food and clothing for so many people, and by the time they rebuild and plant crops...

In other words, they may not be able to raise enough money to redeem the two saints.

Then Xie Xuan's vote of dissent is understandable.

After all, it was about the injustice between his father and the Qilin Army.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the small house was extremely heavy.

Everyone's arms seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

It seems that every decision I make involves countless lives.

Su Shengsheng looked at everyone's expressions and said, "Let's roll again. Close your eyes first. I'll count to tens and then open them."

"One, two... ten."

When Su Shengsheng opened her eyes nervously, she saw that everyone had their hands raised. Even though they looked embarrassed, they did not regret it.

Of course, except for Xie Xuan who still opposed it.

Su Shengsheng automatically ignored him and said, "You have to do it first to know."

It is difficult to get back on your feet, support so many people, and earn enough money within the scheduled time.

But, it's a risk worth taking, isn't it?

The eldest aunt looked at Xie Xuan's gloomy face and smiled embarrassedly, "General Xie, if you lose this bet, we women will do hard labor. It won't be a big deal for us."

Second Aunt also nodded in agreement. "General Xie's injustice will be dealt with, so there's no need to worry about Sheng'er and us. When the time comes to announce it to the world, I think the people will agree not to welcome the Second Saint back."

As for whether the people believed what he said, she believed that with this disaster, the Su family's reputation would guarantee it, and the people would definitely believe him.

Now that things have come to this, what else can Xie Xuan say?

Feng Mu Xiaoxiao, "It's up to the elders to decide."

Su Shengsheng secretly kicked him under the table.

Why is he so sullen when it comes to their Su family's affairs?

Unexpectedly, the one who cried out "ouch" was her third brother.

Su Hengji hugged his legs and asked, "Who kicked me?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked from all directions.

I didn't kick the right person.

Su Shengsheng looked embarrassed, but heard her brother groaning in pain.

Just as I was wondering, I heard my uncle stand up and say, "Sheng girl, just go ahead and do it. We can have peace of mind."

Xie Xuan lazily stood up and watched with satisfaction as his elder brother-in-law groaned in pain as everyone stared at him, and raised his long and narrow phoenix tail slightly.

"In that case, I'll take Shengsheng back to rest first."

He had endured for dozens of days, and he was afraid that if he endured any longer, he would really be left without a wife.

The other members of the Su family also looked haggard.

The men worked during the day and fought at night.

Not to mention the women, collecting information from all over the place is also quite time-consuming.

But this time, the flood has not yet receded, so they still cannot relax.

But how could they not listen to the words of the general's son-in-law?

He hurriedly asked Xie Xuan to take Su Shengsheng away and rest for a day.

He didn't ask anyone to see him off. As soon as they walked out the door, Xie Xuan grabbed the little guy and carried him outside to the car.

Unexpectedly, I fell asleep in just a short while.

Xie Xuan felt both distressed and helpless.

But he knew that the Su family was stubborn and that the little man in his arms was also a person who valued life above all else.

Some words had to be swallowed back.

Since she wants to do it, he will support her.

He ordered someone to ask the Ministry of Works for a water system map.

He would eliminate in advance any political enemies who wanted to stop his daughter-in-law and would never let her be isolated and helpless.

Xie Xuan has been extremely tired these days.

He adjusted his posture to make the person in his arms more comfortable, then closed his eyes lightly.

If my wife succeeds this time...

That was a slap in the face of the three superiors...
