Liu Sisi stood up but didn't agree with him right away.
"Well, after all, I am a virtuous woman, so I still need to go back and discuss the specifics with my husband to see what he says. Everyone has been working hard with the recent events here," said Liu Sisi.
The foreman was slightly stunned and hurriedly bowed with a fist greeting: "Of course, of course!"
Liu Sisi left the wharf without saying a word.
"Mom, what does it mean to build a dam across a river?" Little Ying beside her asked.
"Building a river dam is constructing a barrier on the surface of the water, which is much more difficult than building one on the shore," Liu Sisi replied, unsure how to explain it to YingEr.
"Then, is mom saying that they want to build a dam across the river?"
"I don't know, but if we really were to build a river dam, the silver needed for it would be impossible for your father and me to provide on our own," she said.
"Why?"
"Silly child, we don't have enough money," Liu Sisi sighed.
