Grandma Lu cursed for three days straight.

Once everyone was aware of these things, they didn't go again.

But the lingering influence she left behind remains.

People still pointed and whispered as they passed by Lu Xiaomei's door.

Lu Xiaodi had already been inside, and thought everyone was talking about him.

He became quite dejected.

After the team leader came and talked to him, he finally had to stop going to work.

But since everyone has a mouth, the brigade leader can't control it.

Therefore, quite a few people still pointed fingers at Lu Xiaodi.

Lu Xiaodi's face was covered by his beard, and he had no expression.

Once he got home, he reverted to his old ways.

He roared at Lu Xiaomei, "What have you been doing all day? I'm working outside, and when I come home I can't even get a hot meal?"

It was already getting dark.

Lu Xiaodi was not skilled at the work, and in order to complete the production task, he worked late into the night without realizing it.

Lu Xiaomei originally wanted to go out to find Chen Ximei today, but she thought of the way people were looking at her.

There's hardly any food left at home.

So Lu Xiaomei is completely incapable of cooking.

"But, there's no food left."

"If you don't have it, why don't you go borrow it yourself!" Little Lu pushed her, without controlling his strength.

Lu Xiaomei fell out.

Her face was still swollen, and with that fall, her palm was cut and bleeding profusely.

He looked disheveled.

Lu Xiaodi stopped moving.

He didn't make any further moves, and said gruffly, "Useless!"

After saying that, he turned around and went back into the house.

Lu Xiaomei stood there, thinking about Lu Xiaodi's sarcastic remarks.

A hint of resentment flashed through his mind.

She pouted and left the room.

Lu Xiaodi found the ointment in the room and went outside to check, only to find that Lu Xiaomei was nowhere to be seen in the yard.

He called out, but no one answered.

He muttered under his breath, "You good-for-nothing, all you do is run around!"

Lu Xiaodi knew that recently, the two of them had become quite the target of public criticism.

He just said it casually, but he didn't expect that Lu Xiaomei would actually go out to borrow grain.

The injury on her hand has not yet been treated.

But he was unwilling to go out and look for her.

Lu Xiaodi had done a lot of work and his whole body was a little sore.

He went back to his room and lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

I haven't heard any sound from the gate.

He was extremely agitated.

She finally stood up, put on her clothes, turned around, and went out.

Lu Xiaodi thought for a moment and considered where his family could still borrow grain.

My stomach was rumbling.

He resigned himself to his fate and walked towards the end of the village.

The clan elders there rarely appear in the village, but they still occasionally step in to take care of the Lu family.

When the Lu family has a problem and comes to them for help, they are rarely refused.

Brother Lu had just left.

Lu Xiaomei returned home, but her face was full of determination.

Little Brother Lu knew nothing about this.

He was heading towards the clan elder's house.

But when he finally arrived, he was told that Lu Xiaomei had not come here at all.

Lu Xiaodi immediately became a little worried.

Upon seeing Lu Xiaodi, the clan elder clearly recalled what had happened earlier.

He grabbed him and asked his son to help him find someone, leaving Lu Xiaodi behind.

Young Master Lu had no choice but to sit down and accept the elder's "education"...

Su Qiao was digesting her food in the yard.

Grandma Lu's cooking skills are just as good as Lu Xiangze's.

Moreover, many dishes have their own unique ideas.

When Grandma Lu saw Su Qiao, she wanted to feed her. Knowing that Su Qiao liked her cooking, she put in a lot of effort to cook.

Grandma Lu had completely won over her stomach.

Su Qiao was experiencing both pain and pleasure.

The same goes for Xiaobai; I never expected Grandma Lu to be so skilled at raising pets.

We can also find all sorts of ways to cook for it.

As a result, Xiaobai gained even more weight.

It looks more and more imposing.

When Su Qiao took Xiao Bai to class, the other children no longer dared to be envious.

After all, Xiaobai doesn't look like someone to mess with.

Walking on the street can dispel many people's bad intentions.

After finishing her meal, Su Qiao was about to enter her spatial dimension.

Suddenly, I smelled a very strong odor in the air.

It smells like burning firewood.

At this hour, how come anyone is still cooking?

She looked outside and saw flames shooting into the sky.

this……

It got noisy outside.

Many people shouted, "Fire!"

Su Qiao immediately opened the door.

Then they saw the elderly couple from the Lu family rushing towards them with flashlights in their hands.

"Qiaoqiao, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, please be careful."

Grandma Lu felt quite comforted.

The three of them gathered together.

"Where is Uncle Lu?" Since she wasn't married yet, Su Qiao naturally didn't change her address and just called him "Uncle."

Grandma Lu waved her hand and pointed to the place where the fire was.

"They'll go check it out. You're a young lady, so don't go yet. We'll wait with you."

In the darkness, the firelight was particularly noticeable.

Many people carried kerosene lamps and hurried over there.

Su Qiao's house is located on high ground, making it easy for her to see the situation in the village.

The location of the fire appears to be the same as Lu Xiaomei's house.

How did it suddenly catch fire?

With everyone working together, the fire was quickly brought under control.

The captain felt his temples throbbing.

After the fire was extinguished.

Soon those people dispersed.

Not long after, Lu Haoyun also returned.

They headed straight for Su Qiao's courtyard.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Meeting three pairs of curious eyes, Lu Haoyun quickly explained the situation.

"The Lu family's house caught fire, and it seems the fire started in the kitchen. However, neither of the family members were home. Lu's younger brother happened to be at someone else's house, and when he rushed back, the fire was raging. He almost rushed into the fire, saying that Lu's younger sister might still be inside."

However, after the fire was extinguished, no one was found inside; they were probably not home.

Lu Xiaomei has not returned home.

Nobody knows where she went.

And whether it was his imagination or not, he felt the fire was burning too fast...

After that, everyone went home, since it was already quite late.

Just then, Xiaobai, who had secretly gone out to observe, returned.

When it passed by, the fire was almost out.

Most of the house burned down, leaving only the smallest house furthest away.

Lu Xiaodi searched inside for quite a while at first, and breathed a sigh of relief when he found no trace.

Where did Lu Xiaomei go?

Xiao Bai shook his head; anyway, he wasn't in the village anymore.

Where could Lu Xiaomei go all by herself?

She has now caused most of the Chen family members to go to jail.

She probably wouldn't dare go to the Chen family.

Where else could she go?

Su Qiao suddenly thought of a possibility.

On the road one kilometer away from the village.

Lu Xiaomei clutched her bundle tightly.

Inside was all the money she had saved, only 15 yuan, and a few pieces of clothing.

She kept saying, "I didn't kill him, he just didn't run away... he just didn't run away."

Lu Xiaomei kept repeating this.

Lu Xiaomei quickly recovered from her trembling hands and feet.

I calmed down considerably.

As she watched the commune draw ever closer, boundless hope welled up within her.

Her good days are coming.
