Chapter 1031: Chapter 542: Boss Yan Before the Flood_3

"Nice car, really makes a difference, the space is quite big!" Zhou Peipei also exclaimed.

The four girls were all squeezed together in the back seat, but they didn’t feel cramped at all, the space must be big—they had no idea that a few days ago, the car’s first passenger in the back seat was a big Tibetan Mastiff.

Yan Fei just smiled and didn’t say anything; showing off to his own wife was enough for him, he didn’t have the mood to show off to others.

Ji Yunyun and Zhou Peipei, seeing him not speaking, didn’t get annoyed and started discussing the car’s features amongst themselves— they knew full well what Hero Yan was like, aside from his wife, in front of others he wasn’t one to answer just any question.

The car hadn’t even left the city before Xu Yue remembered a problem, "Yan Fei, do you have a driving license?"

Yan Fei was unconcerned, "Don’t worry, just a driving license? How many do you want?"

This answer ... was indeed a bit infuriating.

But Xu Xiaoyan quickly explained, "It’s fine, he can drive anything at home, even large trucks, no problem."

In truth, everyone on the farm had a driver’s license, and the pictures on the IDs were well known to all for being a competition in ugliness; finding someone who looked somewhat similar to him wasn’t difficult at all.

However, these days, driving a Pusang can make one quite arrogant, much less such a nice car; generally, nobody would check on the road.

When the car reached the county town and dropped off the two girls, Yan Fei didn’t visit his parents, instead, he drove straight back to Sancha River town—the three sisters were all aware of the town’s situation, wanting to return home as soon as possible, so they didn’t waste any time.

At the village entrance of Sancha River town, there was a crowd watching the flood relief efforts, and someone looking toward the west sky immediately said, "Boss Yan is back!"

Others also looked up and nodded, "Boss Yan is back!"

If someone didn’t know any better, they might wonder, how could Boss Yan be so magical that everyone knew he was back before even seeing him?

But those in the know could tell what everyone was looking at, those two big eagles! The popular Swordsman TV series had just aired, featuring a hero who raised eagles. So Boss Yan’s eagles were quite famous; after seeing them often over time, everyone knew that if the eagles were circling like this, moving west before circling back, they were surely picking someone up.

And who could they be picking up other than Boss Yan himself?

So, everyone looked at Old Xu, who stood with his hands behind his back looking completely unperturbed, with eyes full of indescribable envy—what more could he possibly want when he had such a son-in-law?

Nowadays, with families increasingly having only one child, some people were beginning to care less about carrying on the family line; moreover, with Boss Yan’s rising prominence, even if they did care, they couldn’t show it in front of his father-in-law, right?

Soon Yan Fei’s car arrived at the entrance of the village. From a distance, Xu Xiaoyan saw her parents, Old Xu and his wife, in front of the crowd. She asked Yan Fei to stop the car in advance and got out with her two sisters.

In an instant, the crowd behind them quieted down considerably. Here was a family with three university students, rumored to be pursuing graduate studies—after finishing the graduate program, on to a master’s degree, after the master’s, a PhD. This wasn’t a grammatical mistake, but rather most people in Sancha River couldn’t quite grasp what the difference was between a graduate student and a master’s student.

Of course, the crowd was not yet aware that the driver Boss Yan had also firmly decided to pursue a PhD...

Amid the crowd’s envious gazes, Old Xu calmly got into the passenger seat. The family of five all got into the car and slowly drove into town under everyone’s watchful eyes.

The car hadn’t gone far when the crowd suddenly became lively again.

The question of how much the car was worth sparked another round of intense discussion. Some couldn’t help but sigh, regretting their lack of foresight in letting Old Xu’s family snag such a good son-in-law for nothing. After all, wasn’t Xu’s daughter a few years older than Boss Yan?

But that was about all anyone dared to say. It wasn’t just because Lin Baoguo was there maintaining order with his team, or because Ma Yongming was ready with a group to dig sand and fill earth; in the crowd itself, who knew how many were eager to overhear someone badmouthing Boss Yan, then discreetly snitch to curry favor with him!

Because of the crowd gathered at the entrance of the town, Yan Fei’s wife wasn’t able to get out again. He drove back to the cattle farm himself and lounged around before climbing a tree like a monkey...

In a few days, it would be July, and circumstances would become truly serious.

The high school students were about to head to their examination sites in the county town, but suddenly, the water level began to rise. The roads at the entrance of the town were blocked on both sides, and even with half a foot of soil piled up in the middle, the road was still underwater.

Even the county was alarmed by this situation. While other places also experienced rising water levels, it was nowhere near as severe as in Sancha River, where the roads were almost completely blocked.

Secretary Jiao of the county committee stayed in the county town to orchestrate the response, sending Secretary Xiao Zhao over—by the time he arrived, it was somewhat late, and he had to come in on a tractor.

Once here, Xiao Zhao felt that the students getting to the examination site wouldn’t be a big problem, especially since the villages to the west were just on a hillock. The key issue was the road leading out of town. Currently, large tractors could still make it through. They could use tractors to transport the students first, then cars could pick them up from the other side.

After arranging for the students, Secretary Xiao Zhao began to take an interest in Boss Yan.

Upon asking, those around him could only give a wry smile, passing a pair of binoculars to Xiao Zhao.

Boss Yan was carrying a shovel, moving to and fro amidst the greenhouses. As Xiao Zhao watched, he called Yan Fei, "Boss Yan, aren’t you coming over quickly?"

The voice of Boss Yan was still as calm as ever, "I’ll leave immediately, just taking one last look at my enterprise."

Those who heard felt a pang in their hearts. Yes, even though Boss Yan had a large family and business, the greenhouses were built by his own hands. How could he not feel distressed?

It seemed that they had all misjudged him these past few days; after all, he was still a young man, watching helplessly as the fruits of his labor were threatened by the rising waters. It must be very painful indeed!
