Chapter 115 The Day the Dike Breach Arrives
Upon returning, he immediately informed Tang's father.

After hearing this, Tang's father was overjoyed.

Now, he's counting down the days, waiting patiently.

He believed that a flood would come.

In Anhe County, a horse-drawn carriage from Lijia Village stopped in front of the clinic.

The couple who stepped down from the carriage were Li Tian'ao and Tang Xiyue.

Li Tian'ao got out of the car first and held an umbrella for Tang Xiyue.

Tang Xiyue then lifted her skirt and got out of the car.

After Li Tian'ao helped Tang Xiyue out of the car, he looked at the weather and frowned. "It's been raining for half a month now, and there's no sign of it stopping. Many places are flooded."

"All the rice seedlings planted earlier were flooded."

Li Tian'ao's eyes were filled with worry, after all, farmers rely on the grain grown on their small plots of land to make a living.

If crops fail to grow, the consequences will be severe.

Tang Xiyue held Li Tian'ao's hand and said, "Husband, don't worry, I'm here with my father. If there are any difficulties, my father will definitely not abandon us."

Tang's father was a large landowner and owned a lot of land, which he leased out.

These days, due to continuous rain, those fields have been flooded, and it's obvious that the harvest won't be very good.

However, whether the crops grow well or not has little to do with Tang's father.

Because he did not receive the rent based on a percentage of the harvested grain.

Instead, they collect the money upfront when someone wants to lease the land.

Therefore, the rain had little impact on Tang's father.

Moreover, Tang's father is currently preoccupied with stockpiling medicinal herbs and grains, and doesn't care much about anything else.

After all, if these stockpiled medicinal herbs and grains could be sold, the money obtained would be at least ten times that amount.

Li Tian'ao felt a warmth in his heart as he listened to his wife's words.

He knew his wife meant well.

But how could he, as a man, rely on his wife and her family?

Since marrying him, Yueyue has always done a good job and has never looked down on his family, always treating them with kindness and gentleness.

Aside from being a bit spoiled, for example, taking the carriage from the Tang family to the Li family.

There's nothing wrong with it otherwise.

Li Tian'ao wasn't intolerant of his wife's fussiness.

His wife was a wealthy heiress.

Therefore, in order to spare his wife from suffering and to ensure his family could live a better life, Li Tian'ao finally agreed to Tang Xiyue's earlier suggestion to participate in the uprising.

However, only he and Yueyue know this right now; their family members are unaware.

If Tang Xiyue heard Li Tian'ao's inner thoughts, she would definitely laugh, and it would be a mocking laugh.

The reason she could tolerate those vulgar people in the Li family was that she treated them as if they were dead.

If she remembered correctly, today was the day the river in Cheng'an Prefecture breached its banks, and the floodwaters were about to engulf Cheng'an Prefecture.

Lijia Village and the surrounding villages will be submerged.

The flood came very suddenly, giving people no time to react.

If many people don't have time to escape.

In their past life, apart from Li Tian'ao, who happened to be in the mountains meeting with the rebels and discussing matters with them, the rest of the Li family drowned.

And today...

Tang Xiyue deliberately used the excuse of needing to get medicine for Li's grandmother.

They called Li Tian'ao out of his home and brought him to the county town.

She planned to call Li Tian'ao to her house after she finished getting the medicine.

After all, since we've come all the way to the county town, we can't just not visit her house.

Even if a flood came, she would be safe at her home. But by the time Li Tian'ao and she returned to Li Family Village, everyone in the Li family had drowned.

At that time, Li Tian'ao only had her as a relative left.

Even after Li Tian'ao ascends the throne as emperor, she will still be the person closest to him.

Because she came to the county town to get medicine for Li's grandmother out of filial piety, Li Tian'ao couldn't possibly blame her for the incident.

After all, who knows when a flood might suddenly occur?

"My wife, let's go inside."

Li Tian'ao's words interrupted Tang Xiyue's thoughts. Tang Xiyue nodded, "Okay."

The medicine was prepared quickly, and Tang Xiyue paid for it.
Tang Xiyue didn't care much about these things.

In any case, in her eyes, the old woman wouldn't be able to get this medicine anyway.

"Husband, now that we're in town, why don't we go to my house? I... I miss my father too," Tang Xiyue suggested as soon as they stepped out the door.

Li Tian'ao slapped his forehead and said, "Indeed, I should have visited my father-in-law. It was my oversight."

"Then let's go."

"it is good."

So the two got into the carriage, and the carriage headed towards the Tang family's house.

Soon, the two arrived at the Tang family home and met Tang's father.

Mr. Tang was not surprised by his daughter's arrival with her son-in-law.

After all, he knew from his daughter that today's flood would inundate the entire Li Family Village.

Tang's father also knew the purpose of his daughter bringing Li Tian'ao back.

Therefore, Tang's father was very hospitable to Li Tian'ao and even invited him to stay for dinner.

He planned to delay until after the floods occurred before letting Li Tian'ao leave.

Li Tian'ao was quite flattered by his father-in-law's enthusiasm.

He felt that his father-in-law was inexplicably excited today.

But he didn't know the reason for his excitement.

However, he also enjoyed the hospitality from his wealthy landowner father-in-law, so he did not refuse.

Therefore, when Tang's father invited the couple to stay for dinner, Li Tian'ao agreed.
-
In Cheng'an Prefecture, the rain was still falling.

On the banks of the river, Xia Ye and some officials were standing not far from the dam.

From their perspective, they could see the surging river water constantly crashing against the dam, seemingly about to break through it and overflow.

The construction of this dam was completed three days ago.

Actually, building a dam doesn't happen that quickly. With the help of financial resources, the number of workers has increased significantly, which speeds up the construction process.

"How long will this rain last?"

The officials who were later involved in the Xiaye project sighed with emotion.

They didn't think much of it when it first started raining.

At that time, Xia Ye asked them to do a good job of drainage in various parts of the mansion, and they thought that Xia Ye was making a mountain out of a molehill.

But now, looking at the rain that has been falling for half a month without stopping, they have to admit that Xia Ye was indeed prescient.

No wonder he could become a high-ranking official in the capital and an imperial envoy to manage the floods; he was indeed different from them.

Looking at the surging river.

They couldn't help but secretly rejoice, thankfully, this Imperial Envoy Xia brought cement, such a miraculous substance, to build the dam.

otherwise……

Given the condition of the dam before, it might have already breached the dam, and the river water would have surged out.

With so much water rushing out, wouldn't Cheng'an Prefecture become a vast expanse of water? Then…

They shuddered at the thought of it.

Now that this newly built dam is in place, their worries should not come true, right?
