The billionaire girl: Daddy and Mommy, love me again

Two days before the flood.

Old Man Cheng and his eldest son finished their work in town and found an unconscious old beggar on their way home.

The kind-hearted father and son carried the old man home and invited Cheng Erfu to treat him.

Old Man Cheng's second brother, Cheng Erfu, had been a disciple of the village barefoot doctor since he was a child. After his master passed away a few years ago, he became the only doctor in several nearby villages. Not to mention how advanced his medical skills were, but he could still treat basic headaches, fevers, and bruises.

After diagnosing the old man, Cheng Erfu determined that he had fainted from hunger.

Old man Cheng cooked porridge with the little white rice left in the house and fed it to the old man. He then washed him clean and changed his own clothes.

After dawn, the old man disappeared, leaving only a letter on the table.

The letter read:

“I am Taoist Xuanqing from Mount Qingcheng. I have discovered the secrets of heaven and I know that Yinzhou County will be in great trouble and I will suffer the consequences.

Because you are kind-hearted and willing to do good deeds to become virtuous, I am informing you in advance.

In two days there will be heavy rain, which will continue for three months, causing floods. At that time, all lives will be destroyed and people will be displaced. If you run to the high mountains, you will survive.

Three months later, a lucky girl will be born in Chengjia Village. If you treat her well, you will enjoy endless wealth and prosperity. "

Old Man Cheng and others stared at Zhang in amazement, and it took them a while to react as if they had just woken up from a dream.

The sloppy old man turned out to be the famous Taoist Priest Xuanqing.

What the immortal meant was that there would be a flood in two days.

Old Man Cheng looked up at the sky. Usually at this time of day, the sky would have been bright and the sun would have almost risen, but today the sky was pitch black, as if it was about to collapse.

"Third brother, I have to go back and tell them to pack their things quickly. You should also hurry up and get ready. Go and tell eldest brother." After saying this, Cheng Erfu ran towards his house without looking back.

Zhang hurriedly knocked on each door, woke up her children and grandchildren, and asked them to pack their things quickly.

Cheng Laowu came out of the room, sleepy-eyed and yawning.

"Mom, it's not even daybreak yet, why are you up so soon?"

Old Zhang quickly tied up the clothes and bedding and dug out the small box hidden under the bed.

He explained, "The flood is coming. Pack up your things quickly because we have to escape.

Boss, stop wasting time, go and inform your Yue family and ask them to hide in the mountains as well.

Hurry up, or it will be too late! "

Only then did Boss Cheng come to his senses and realize the seriousness of the situation, not daring to delay for a moment.

After quickly instructing his wife Liu Meihua to pack up with the children, he ran to Cheng Erfu's house, borrowed an ox cart, and rushed to the neighboring Liujia Village to report the news.

Old Man Cheng’s elder brother Cheng Dafu is the village chief of Chengjia Village.

Here, Old Man Cheng knocked hard on the door of Cheng Dafu's house, and it took a while before a sound came from inside.

"Here I come, here I come, who is it, so early in the morning?"

When the door opened, I saw the eldest brother's son Cheng Daniu, wearing slippers, his coat hanging down, his hair was messy and he had an angry look on his face as if he had been woken up from a sweet dream.

Seeing that it was Old Man Cheng, he asked in surprise: "Uncle San, why are you here? What's the matter so early in the morning?"

Old Man Cheng pushed him aside and went into the room and said, "Daniu, hurry up and tell your father to get up. I have something urgent to do. Go!"

Cheng Daniu hurriedly knocked on his parents' door. The door opened from the inside and Cheng Dafu came out, fully dressed.

"Third brother, what happened so early in the morning?"

After Old Man Cheng handed him the letter from Taoist Xuanqing, he told him the whole story.

Cheng Dafu took the letter and read it quickly. He was shocked and quickly told Daniu to take the gong and notify everyone to gather at the entrance of the ancestral hall immediately.

Cheng Daniu had just heard the contents of the letter and did not dare to delay for a moment. He took the gong and ran away.

The people in Chengjia Village were awakened from their sleep by the sound of gongs. They got up and rushed to the ancestral hall without even having time to put on their clothes.

The village chief was beating the gong before dawn. Something big must have happened.

Boss Cheng quickly used the ox cart as a horse carriage, and he whipped it without stopping. In half an incense stick of time, they arrived at Liujia Village.

After hearing what his son-in-law said, his father-in-law Liu Dashu hurriedly told his wife and children to pack up their things, and he hurried to find the village chief to inform him of the news.

Seeing that his father-in-law had listened to his words, he immediately rushed to his brother's wife, Wang Yingniang's parents' home.

When Wang's shocked parents realized what he had brought, they only saw an ox cart rushing towards the county town.

The wheels were almost smoking before they led the panting old ox into the city gate.

He first picked up his second brother Cheng Zeyi, who worked as an accountant at Yunkelai Restaurant, and then picked up his third brother Cheng Zeli, who studied at Li's private school, and his father-in-law Mr. Li and his family, and was about to turn the car around and head home.

Then he heard his third brother Cheng Zeli say, "Wait! Big brother, this matter concerns the lives of tens of millions of people. We can't ignore the people and only care about our own lives."

The Master also agreed, "Ze Li's words make sense. Since we knew about the impending disaster in advance, we should have informed the county magistrate."

Boss Cheng slapped his head hard, and said as if waking up from a dream: "Oh, I actually forgot about this, thanks to my third brother for reminding me.

Let's go to the county government office now, but will the county magistrate believe us?"

"The county magistrate is a good official, and he is also my father-in-law's schoolmate. Tell him the truth, and I believe he will make his own judgment."

County Magistrate Yuan Qingping met with Master Li and his party. He was surprised to see them bringing their families with them.

"Huaizhi, are you moving?"

Master Li bowed and said, "Sir, the people of Chengjia Village have been informed by Taoist Xuanqing that there will be heavy rain in two days. The rain will not stop for three months. It will cause floods and will cause great suffering to the people. Sir, you should make preparations early."

The county magistrate stood up in astonishment and asked.

"This is serious. This is not a joke."

"Sir, it is absolutely true. The letter left by the Taoist priest is still in my father's hands. If you don't believe it, you can... send someone to get confirmation. I hope you can make a decision soon."

Boss Cheng mustered up his courage, looked at Yuan Qingping timidly and said in a trembling voice.

After they left, the county magistrate hurriedly called the constables and ordered them to ride as fast as possible to Chengjia Village to find their village chief to verify the matter.

After leaving the county government office, Cheng Zeli borrowed one hundred taels of silver from his father-in-law and rushed to the grain shop.

As a time traveler from the 21st century, he was well aware of the destructive power of floods. Without enough food, even if one survived the flood, he would starve to death if he had no harvest.

He bought 10,000 catties of brown rice at eight cents a catty, spending eighty taels.

I bought 200 jin of fine rice and white flour, each at 20 wen. I spent 8 liang.

There were twelve taels left, so I bought some muslin, brown sugar, coarse salt, and seeds.

The fat shopkeeper had a bright smile on his face and was very happy. In half a month, the grain in the fields would be harvested. Everyone was tightening their belts waiting for the new grain to come in. The grain shop business had entered the off-season, so there were not many big customers like this.

He asked enthusiastically whether they wanted the goods delivered to their doorstep, and Cheng Zeli and the others were more than happy to oblige.
