From here, the construction team can be seen in the distance, but they are actually not far above. If the bridge is too far away, the effect of flood diversion and discharge will not be obvious.
Qiao Lian'er walked along the riverbank, checking the condition of the riverbed as she went.
She discovered that there weren't many stones in the river, but mostly accumulated sand from many years ago.
Not far from the other shore, there is a large depression, which is said to have been formed decades ago when an earth dragon turned over.
Qiao Lian'er went to look at the depression again and found that the large cracks had never closed and led all the way to the distant mountains.
The more Qiao Lian'er looked, the more confident she was in controlling the flood today.
Although the Qiao family has already obtained the divorce papers, even if the flood prevention measures are not very effective, they would never allow Qiao Yunni to return to the Song family. The Qiao family would rather beat or maim the Song family than do that.
However, good flood control can protect crops on the riverbank, including one's own, and also reduce disturbances and prevent criticism.
As they slowly observed the riverbank and approached the construction site, Qiao Lian'er slightly turned her head.
One head immediately hid behind a rock.
Song Ruier followed.
Qiao Lian'er had sensed someone behind her earlier, but people were often active in the fields and mountains near the village, so she wasn't surprised.
But the person seemed to be coming for them, keeping a certain distance and acting furtively.
Sure enough, it was this kid.
Qiao Lian'er squatted down, picked up a stone that fit her hand, and then took Qiao Zhizhi's hand and hid behind a clump of banana trees.
"Lian'er, what's wrong?" Qiao Zhizhi asked.
“Song Ruier is with us, I’ll teach him a lesson.”
"It's that brat again, he's never changed his ways," Qiao Zhizhi said with disgust.
Sure enough, just as they were about to leave, Song Ruier popped her head out again.
But he couldn't see Qiao Lian'er anywhere, so he looked around searching for her.
Unbeknownst to him, a pebble came hurtling through the air and struck him squarely on the forehead.
"Ouch!" A sharp pain shot through Song Ruier, who pressed her forehead, blood trickling from between her fingers.
Qiao Lian'er walked out from behind the banana grove as if nothing had happened and continued walking uphill.
"You brat, you threw a rock at me!" Song Ruier yelled.
"Did it hit you? It's hitting a dog." Qiao Zhizhi turned around and made a face at Song Ruier.
Song Ruier was furious and wanted to chase after him, but she felt dizzy and had to sit down by the big rock.
He said fiercely, "Qiao Lian'er, don't think you're so great just because you've made a few stinking bucks. All that money of yours will eventually be mine."
That's what he thought: his mother's money, his sister's money, weren't they his? He was the son; this was what he was born to receive.
The bridge construction is already halfway complete. The bluestone, marble, and granite were all transported from the county town and have already been cut, so efficiency has been achieved from the start.
