Upon hearing this, Ye Lao Er looked at the two children and felt that they looked unfamiliar. They were not children of familiar people.

It’s no wonder that Ye Laosi didn’t want to interrupt. The two children opposite, the older boy looked no more than ten years old, and the younger girl looked only seven or eight years old.

But since Qingtian was crying like this, Ye Laoer couldn't help but ask about it.

"My Qingtian never lies. Tell me yourself, did you stain her skirt on purpose?"

"I didn't!" The little girl stubbornly stiffened her neck. "She's just talking nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Qingtian said, "On the night of the 30th, she threw stones at me and even tried to throw firecrackers at me..."

Ye Lao Er and Ye Lao Si were shocked when they heard this. Throwing mud and stones was just a common play for country kids.

But throwing firecrackers is no small matter, and if you are not careful, it may hurt people.

"Sunny, why haven't I heard you talk about this before? Are you hurt?"

"She threw the firecrackers at you? Where did she throw them? Are you hurt?"

Although they knew that Qingtian would definitely notice if he touched Mrs. Ye, let alone being injured, their first reaction was to ask repeatedly.

Seeing that Ye Lao Er and Ye Lao Si’s faces had turned serious, the two children were also a little scared.

Although the boy was scared, he still stepped forward to protect his sister.

The little girl looked at Qingtian being cared for like a star by her family, and hid behind her brother, lowering her head and biting her lip.

Ye Lao Er frowned and asked, "Whose family are you from? Let's go talk to your parents about this.

"It's okay for children to play and fight with each other, but throwing firecrackers is no joke. If you're not careful, you could get hurt."

When they heard that they were going home to find their parents, the two children's faces changed.

The little boy spoke first: "I want to apologize to you on behalf of my sister, okay? Please don't go looking for my parents."

The little girl still looked wronged and aggrieved, crying and shouting: "You are bullying me by relying on your numbers..."

Seeing that she was still stubborn, Qingtian said angrily, "You still don't admit it. On the night of the 30th, when my brothers took me to set off fireworks, you followed Sister Xiyue from the village to watch the fireworks.

“You even asked Sister Xiyue who I was and why I was dressed so beautifully.

"Sister Xiyue said a few words to you, but the sound of the firecrackers was too loud and I didn't hear it.

"Then you picked up several loose firecrackers from the ground, lit them and threw them at my skirt.

"Luckily my brothers surrounded me, otherwise I would have been thrown in by you!"

Qingtian said this with such conviction that even the little girl's brother couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Is that true?"

Before the little girl could speak, Qingtian said again: "If you don't believe me, let's go ask Sister Xiyue."

Things have come to this point. If they don't get to the bottom of the matter and it gets out, people might really think that their family bullied two other people's children.

So Ye Lao Er asked Ye Lao Si to go home and tell her, and he took the children to find Xiyue to find out the truth.

Xiyue is the granddaughter of the village chief. Wang Guangping happened to be at his son's house discussing this year's spring plowing. When he saw Ye Laosi bringing a group of children over, he hurriedly asked what happened.

After hearing Ye Laoer's simple account of the matter, Wang Guangping felt that he was making a big deal out of nothing, but he still called his granddaughter out from the inner room to ask her.

"Xiyue, did you play with her on the night of the 30th?"

"I guess so!" Xiyue is already twelve years old this year, and she speaks and acts like a grown-up girl.

Wang Guangping frowned and asked, "If it is, it is. If it is not, it is not. What do you mean by 'consider it'?"

"I didn't play with her, she just came over when she saw me.

"She said she had just arrived in the village and didn't know anyone. She had seen me once before when she went to her grandfather's house with her mother, and she wanted me to take her to see Qingtian's family setting off fireworks.

"I was going there anyway, so I took her with me."

"So what did she say to you then?"

"She asked me who Qingtian belonged to and why she had such beautiful new clothes and fireworks.

"I said that because Qingtian's parents only have one daughter, they dote on her especially."

Wang Guangping asked, "What did she say then?"

“She said I was lying and said it was impossible for a girl to be favored at home.

“Why can’t girls be pampered and wear new clothes?

"I thought she sounded strange, so I ignored her."

Hearing Xiyue say this, Lu Hui lowered her head, making it impossible to see the expression on her face.

"So what did she do after she asked you that? Did you see it?"

"Someone nearby was setting off a string of firecrackers and I saw her picking up the fallen ones, so I told her to be careful.

"Then she lit firecrackers and threw them around. I was afraid she would hurt me, so I left quickly."

After many hanging firecrackers are lit, some small firecrackers that are not lit together will be blown away and fall to the ground.

For poor children, there is no better free toy than this.

So whenever someone in the village sets off firecrackers, many children will gather around to join in the fun, and after the firecrackers are finished, they will search the ground for any that have slipped through the net.

Some children will even take apart the firecrackers they bought at home, put a handful in their pockets, light them up, and throw them around for fun.

Because this way you can play for a longer time, instead of just having a few crackling sounds and then disappearing.

So every Chinese New Year, the chickens, ducks, geese, dogs and pigs in the village all suffered, and were scared to death by the small whips thrown at them from time to time.

"Where did she throw the firecrackers?" Ye Laoer asked immediately.
