Chapter 207 Dilemma
Qi Yunran said aggrievedly, "My vegetables are gone too! I just went to check and they've all been drowned! I finally managed to grow them successfully, and now they're all gone! I've been looking forward to seeing them flower and bear fruit for so long, and then this torrential rain destroyed them all! I feel like I'm going to die of pain!"

Shi An found it amusing; people cry because they've wasted most of their lives.

The lady was crying because the vegetables she had planted were drowned before she could eat them, and two months of hard work had been for nothing!
Pei Yuanjun glared at Shi An, who immediately shut up, lowered his head, and stood like a stone sculpture!
Pei Yuanjun chuckled and wiped away her tears, his heart melting at her adorable appearance: "Don't cry, we'll just plant more!"

"You make it sound so easy. Do you know how much passion and effort I've poured into that vegetable garden? Who asked you to plant it? Do you even know how to plant it?"

Qi Yunran wiped her nose with a handkerchief, and Pei Yuanjun soothed her gently, "If I don't know how, I can learn! My wife, you teach me!"

"Who wants to teach you? After this disaster, you can go wherever you want. Humph..."

After finishing her sentence, she went downstairs to make breakfast. There were quite a few people today, and Qi Yunran estimated that the rice she had prepared would only last for one day, so she made porridge for breakfast!
Everyone was in a bad mood and reluctantly took two sips!
Yesterday's rain was heavy, and the whole village was flooded. Only Qi Yunran's brick house still stood; otherwise, the villagers would have nowhere to stay!

Some people envied Qi Yunran, because all their houses were destroyed, but Qi Yunran's house not only didn't collapse, but it also didn't leak at all!
If they also built houses like this, wouldn't they no longer have to worry about being homeless after the floodwaters recede?

After finishing his meal, Pei Yuanjun instructed Shi An to take the villagers who knew how to swim to see if there was anything edible, such as the chickens and ducks that had drowned the night before, and to collect them if they were found.

The area below the mountain is flooded, with the water level reaching halfway up the mountain. We'll probably have to wait until the water recedes before we can descend!
The water is two or three meters deep in shallow areas and more than ten meters deep in deep areas!
The thought of their mud houses collapsing in the water was heartbreaking for everyone!

The fertile fields were also flooded, and there will be no tribute rice this year.

Qi Yunran's rice paddies, however, were spared from the disaster because they were located halfway up the mountain! They were not destroyed by the flood!

Everyone was envious again. They used to say that Yun Ran was a jinx to her husbands, but look at her now, she has managed to escape natural disasters and man-made calamities unscathed.

They should be the luckiest people in their village!

Shi An led everyone to search in the shallow water, bringing back any drowned chickens and ducks they found. Since there were so many people, even food was a problem, and everyone understood this and didn't worry about being too picky.

They are still waiting for the imperial court to come to their rescue.

Therefore, they did whatever Shi An instructed them to do.

Shi An looked at them with a complicated expression.

He had already followed the young master's instructions and told the village chief that a flash flood might occur, so that he could prepare well for evacuation in case of emergency.

However, the village chief felt that he was exaggerating, as Peijiawan Village had never experienced floods before, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

He should have listened to him and informed everyone. The villagers wouldn't have suffered so many losses.

At least you can take your money and valuables with you, so you won't suffer a huge loss!

Now, however, he can't say these things out loud, otherwise the villagers might not only blame the village chief but also have an emotional breakdown.

The losses could have been minimized, but now the village chief's wrong decision has resulted in heavy losses!

Qi Yunran led Aunt Liu and Huang Caicai up the back mountain to see if they could pick some wild mushrooms and wild vegetables.

They hope the county government's rescue team will arrive soon, otherwise dozens of them will have trouble even getting food, sleep, and clothing.
