On the way to the dam, Jiang Sui searched his mind for memories of the heavy rain in his previous life.

Soon, he remembered.

At this time in the previous life, it rained for several days in a row, and the heavy rain broke down the dam, which was not very strong to begin with.

The dam was destroyed, and the river water from upstream, coupled with continuous heavy rains, destroyed large tracts of farmland near the dam, ultimately leading to a serious harvest failure in the autumn.

Not only was the land in Xiangjia Village damaged by the floods, but several surrounding villages also had little grain in the autumn harvest due to the heavy rain, and even the spring planting was affected.

Jiang Sui took a few quick steps and caught up with Xiang Baiwei who was jogging in front of him: "Be careful, just help outside later, I'm here inside. It's raining too hard, take care of yourself and don't make me worry."

Xiang Baiwei was disgusted by his nagging: "This may be the first time you have encountered such a scene. I grew up here. This happens every rainy season. I have been helping with my parents since I was a teenager. You should take care of yourself."

"I'm serious, this rain is no joke, don't take it lightly."

Jiang Sui followed Xiang Baiwei and tried to persuade her earnestly.

"Okay, okay, I get it. I will take good care of myself, so don't worry."

After getting her definite answer, Jiang Sui did not continue to talk too much, but began to think in his mind what he could do to help the villagers of Xiangjia Village survive this disaster.

My father-in-law is the village chief and is in charge of the production of Xiangjia Village. With such a severe flood that destroyed the farmland, he must be so worried that he can't sleep.

Jiang Sui decided to do something to change the tragedy of his previous life.

After all, helping his father-in-law is helping Xiang Baiwei.

By the time the couple arrived at the dam, a lot of people had already gathered around it. The women were asked to stand aside with flashlights, while the men were holding tools to help block the dam.

Xiang Baiwei was also assigned to hold a flashlight to illuminate the area. Jiang Sui was worried about her and asked her to stand further away.

"I can just stand here. It's okay." Xiang Baiwei pointed behind Jiang Sui and said, "Look over there. They are all busy. Hurry up and go over there."

What Xiang Baiwei was talking about was a tractor nearby that was pulling a cart of bricks to block the dam. Many men were standing next to the tractor passing the bricks.

In the distance, Liu Mei, who was also called to shine the flashlight, was standing behind Xiang Baiwei, but because of the chaos, Xiang Baiwei did not notice her.

A load of bricks was quickly thrown into the embankment, seemingly closing a small gap.

The tractor drove away again. The other tractor loaded with sandbags had not arrived yet. Jiang Sui took this opportunity and came to find Bai Wei: "Your raincoat doesn't seem thick enough. How about we exchange? I'll give you my thick one?"

"No, the two raincoats are about the same thickness," Xiang Baiwei shook her head and refused, then reached out to help Jiang Sui button up the raincoat below his collarbone, "It's slippery here when it rains, be careful."

"You should be careful too. Wear your raincoat and don't get wet in the rain." Jiang Sui took the time to remind her, then turned around and joined the team to stabilize the dam.

Liu Mei, who was less than a meter away and had heard the entire conversation, clenched the flashlight in her hand.

At this moment, Chi Kunli and a woman came over with a female teacher covered in mud. Seeing Bai Wei, they asked, "Did you slip?"

Chi Kunli responded loudly: "Yes, the soil here is soft after the rain. She has just arrived and has never been here before. She is not familiar with the situation here. She accidentally slipped and fell in the mud. Fortunately, I shone the flashlight on her at the time, otherwise she would have to drink several gulps of muddy water."

He made way for Bai Wei and said, "Hurry up and help him back. It will be very uncomfortable if he gets covered in mud."

The female teacher shook her head and rejected Xiang Baiwei's kindness: "We are all here helping out. Many of them are soaked but still haven't left. I won't be an exception. Besides, I have always had a good physique, so it's okay for me to get soaked."

Liu Mei in the back watched coldly. After a moment, she looked towards the distant side of the dam where the water was surging. Then she looked at Xiang Baiwei in front of her who was concentrating on using the flashlight to illuminate people. A dark thought popped up uncontrollably in her mind.

This is a great opportunity. If we can seize this opportunity and get rid of Xiang Baiwei...

Liu Mei's heart was beating very fast. She took a step forward and said, "We seem to be standing a little far away. Should we go to the east? It's brighter there, and it will be easier for them to block the dam."

It was raining heavily, and the sound of rain blurred Liu Mei's voice.

Xiang Baiwei only knew that it was a woman talking to her, and she didn't realize that the voice was from Liu Mei.

"Yeah, we seem to be standing a little far away," Xiang Baiwei shone the flashlight, without turning back to find out who was talking just now, "Why don't I just walk forward."

As she spoke, she took two steps forward. At this moment, Wang Chunhua appeared out of nowhere and suddenly blocked her way: "What are you doing? The position just now was the safest position specially calculated. Are you going forward if you don't want to live?"

Liu Mei, who was following closely, heard these words and, taking advantage of the darkness, crouched down and quickly dodged.

Xiang Baiwei finally reacted and looked back in fear: "Just now someone said that the place we were standing was a bit far and asked us to move forward. I was anxious..."

"If you go any further, you'll fall into the river if you lose balance." Wang Chunhua angrily dragged Xiang Baiwei back, "Isn't there a big rock here? They've calculated that we can only stand outside this rock to illuminate. If we go any further, we'll be easily washed away by the flood. This is no joke!"

"I know, I know. I won't go any further." Xiang Baiwei's head hurt because of her yelling. She pulled Wang Chunhua to her side with her backhand and said, "Let's stand here and light up the place."

At this moment, the tractor loaded with sandbags finally arrived. The men on the dam side rushed over and unloaded the sandbags from the tractor, waiting to use them to block the dam mouth later.

Xiang Baiwei watched all this anxiously: "I said before that the dam seemed a little unstable and asked us to repair it quickly, but the villagers didn't believe it. Look at it now, in the middle of the night, so many people are here in the rain to block the dam!"

"Okay, stop talking. It's not like your father didn't try before, but it didn't pass the vote," Wang Chunhua said, also very angry. "But when the rain stops, no one should oppose the repair anymore."

In the distance, Liu Mei stared at Xiang Baiwei with lifeless eyes.

Today during the day, when she passed by the village, she heard a dozen villagers who were enjoying the cool in the grove talking about her.
