When the captain's wife woke up the next day, she learned that her home had become a ruin. She cried heart-wrenchingly and wished she could die on the spot.

With the captain's comfort, she finally accepted the fact: "The family's money is gone, how are we going to live in the future?"

The captain thought it was impossible to burn everything: "When I get back, I'll slowly look through it and I'll definitely find something."

When his wife heard this, she immediately got out of bed and said, "What are you waiting for? Go home now!"

The captain was worried about her health: "Do you want to stay another day?"

The captain's wife shook her head and said, "I can't stay here anymore. I was just inhaled by the smoke. It's nothing serious.

If I could dig something out, I might feel better immediately.”

Seeing that she was in good spirits, the captain went to see the doctor to complete the discharge procedures.

The captain's leg was not broken, but he was injured. In order to prevent the wound from getting infected, the doctor wrapped it with medical gauze.

Because of a leg injury.

He walked very slowly.

The captain's wife was impatient. She turned around and saw that the captain was lagging far behind. She couldn't help but get anxious: "Why are you so slow? You walk slowly, I'll go first."

Before the captain could even open his mouth to speak, his wife ran away: "..."

Less than ten minutes into the run, he saw Xu Yuanqing driving a bullock cart. He was startled to see his mother appear here: "Mom, why are you here?

Where is dad?

Why don't you see Dad?"

The captain's wife didn't answer Xu Yuanqing's question. Instead, she looked at the lunch box on the ox cart and instantly guessed the purpose of Xu Yuanqing's visit to the town: "Are you here to bring us food?"

Xu Yuanqing nodded: "Yes."

The captain's wife climbed onto the ox cart and said, "I've been discharged from the hospital. I'll go home and eat. Let's go."

Xu Yuanqing didn't leave, but continued to ask his mother: "Where's Dad?"

"He's still behind. He's walking too slowly. I won't wait for him anymore."

Xu Yuanqing: “…”

He continued to drive forward.

The captain's wife exclaimed, "Hey, why are you still rushing to town?"

"Dad's leg is injured and he can't walk for too long. I'll go get him."

When the captain's wife heard this, she realized that she was so busy digging at home that she forgot about the old man's injured leg.

When the captain saw the old woman coming back in the ox cart, he was stunned for a moment: "You've come for nothing. You still have to wait for me in the end!"

The captain's wife glanced at him unhappily and said, "Hurry up! I still have to go back and look for things. What if I really find something?"

Return to the village entrance.

Before the ox cart stopped completely, the captain's wife jumped off and ran towards her home.

Looking at the ruins, the captain's wife felt desolate. The tears she had managed to hold back burst out, "This house has been in ruins for less than two years. It's killing me!"

Xu Yuanqing's wife came over, her eyes red as she said, "Mom, no one lives in the old landlord's house. We can live there and move here when we have money to build a house."

On the way back to the village, the captain's wife thought the same thing: "This is the only way! Oh, what luck!"

As she spoke, she wiped the tears from her face and walked towards the ruins.

She moved the collapsed beams away and searched everywhere inside.

Xu Laoda's wife knew what her mother was looking for. She immediately walked over and whispered, "Mom, don't look for it anymore. I dug out the money."

The captain's wife was delighted and asked excitedly, "Did they really dig it out? How much is there?"

The eldest son's wife whispered, "One thousand and eighty, mother, it's a good thing you put it in an iron box. If you had used a wooden box, it would have burned to the ground."

Not a penny was lost. The captain's wife was finally relieved. She smiled for the first time since the fire: "Okay, that's good. We will live in the landlord's house first. After the New Year, we will build a new house."

"Well, this is a blessing in disguise."

noon.

Xu Jiajia came to the captain's wife and said, "Aunt, I have something to tell you."

The captain's wife was very grateful to Xu Jiajia: "Jiajia, this time it's thanks to you guys. If it weren't for you guys, who knows what tragedy would have happened!"

Xu Jiajia said, "That fire was the spark left when your eldest grandson was playing with fire."

Before the captain's wife could say anything, the eldest brother's wife suddenly flew into a rage. She jumped up and was about to hit the child, but Xu Jiajia immediately stopped her and said, "Don't be impatient. It won't be too late to hit the child after I finish speaking."

Xu Jiajia's words calmed the eldest brother's wife down a lot. The captain's wife also suppressed her anger and gave Xu Jiajia face: "Jiajia, tell us everything you know."

"I spoke to him and he said he didn't mean it. When I asked him this question, he was very scared and even wanted to jump into the river to commit suicide. Based on my many years of experience in solving crimes, I know he wasn't lying. He felt guilty and really wanted to jump into the river to commit suicide.

He kept crying, saying that he almost killed his entire family and he was too ashamed to live.

The child is still emotionally unstable now.

My grandma is still trying to persuade him.”

The child thought he could keep it a secret, so he had no intention of telling anyone unless they asked.

However, when Xu Jiajia asked him, he did not hide it.

The child has no bad heart, he just has no sense of security.
