Qin Xiaoyu reacted quickly, grabbing Xiaomei and Hanhan and throwing them onto the kang (a heated brick bed). These two children were not light, and it was unknown where she got her superpowers from.

"Are you crazy? Put the knife down!" The wife stood up, trembling with anger, and had to hold onto the edge of the table to keep from falling.

"Today, let's fight to the death! You decide how to divide this house!" The uncle slammed a kitchen knife on the table, cracking it open with a loud snap. The knife was stuck diagonally in the table, its handle still trembling.

The eldest sister-in-law was sitting by the door. She hadn't moved from her chair, but this startled her so much that she got up and crawled behind her eldest brother, refusing to show her face.

"Brother, put down the knife and let's talk this out." Grandpa Hanhan also stood up, trembling.

"Shut up! Who do you think you are, talking to me like that! Look at all the bastards your family raises, not a single one of them is any good. If you don't give me the apartment today, I'll start killing with my knife..." The uncle came up to grab the kitchen knife from the table, but before he could even pick it up, Hanhan's grandfather suddenly pounced on him and pinned him to the ground.

The eldest uncle was taller and stronger than Hanhan's grandfather, and he had a reckless streak. He had just been caught off guard and suffered a loss. He then turned around and pinned Hanhan's grandfather down, punching him twice until his face was covered in blood and his nose was splattered.

Qin Xiaoyu, who was originally protecting the two children and his wife, panicked when he saw this. Since he couldn't grab anything, he used a small buckwheat pillow that his wife usually used to hit her on the head.

With just one hand, her uncle swept Qin Xiaoyu's small body away, sending her flying and crashing against the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

The eldest brother and Tang Hu were initially just watching dumbfounded, but they only realized what was going on when they saw Grandpa Hanhan being taken advantage of.

Originally, it was a father-son team going into battle. Although the elder brother was usually a carefree person, and with his sister-in-law being domineering, he was only good at being slick and self-protective. However, seeing his father being beaten and suppressed, his fighting spirit was activated.

He kicked his uncle so hard he rolled to the side. Tang Hu was a fierce fighter at school, but he didn't dare to move in front of his parents. When his father went up, he immediately pounced on him, and the two of them beat his uncle until he was lying motionless on the ground.

The room was deathly silent. This was probably the ugliest moment in human nature. Qin Xiaoyu felt a chill in her heart and regretted coming here, letting her child see a scene that she shouldn't have seen. Family members killing each other, is there anything more cruel than this?

Grandma Hanhan had already brought over a basin of water to help Grandpa Hanhan stop his nosebleed. The eldest brother and Tang Hu carried Uncle back to the west room. The eldest sister-in-law went back and forth to clean up the room, and the family sat back down.

"How could I have given birth to such a thing?" The wife sat there blankly, two streams of tears streaming down her face.

"Well, Madam, we don't want the apartment anymore. Let him have it, just don't let him cause trouble." The eldest sister-in-law, timid and afraid of trouble, made her stance clear first. Even if they won the fight for the apartment, they probably wouldn't live there.

"Let's talk about this tomorrow and settle things once and for all." Qin Xiaoyu realized that if she didn't make proper arrangements, she was sowing the seeds of future trouble. Like when Hanhan got into trouble, it was because she underestimated her opponent.

"Take the children back with you, and don't let them get hurt." Grandma Hanhan was worried about the two children, and Qin Xiaoyu felt very gratified.

She drove the two children away, said goodbye to Zhou Xing's mother, and then turned back.

"Why are you back so late?" The gate to the Tang family's courtyard was already locked from the inside. Qin Xiaoyu knocked for a long time before Grandma Hanhan finally came out to answer the door.

"I'll stay here and settle things tomorrow." Qin Xiaoyu went into the main room.

The lady was already lying down. Hearing the noise, she leaned forward to sit up, so Qin Xiaoyu quickly went over and pressed her down, sitting down next to her on the edge of the kang (heated brick bed).

"Madam, don't take it to heart. At your age, taking care of your health is the most important thing."

"Don't try to persuade me, I understand. At my age, I just want to enjoy each day as it comes, and I'll just look on you good kids. No matter what, we still made someone proud today, didn't we?" The wife sighed.

"What are your thoughts?" Qin Xiaoyu wanted to hear his wife's opinion.

"You decide what to do, I'll do whatever you say." The wife patted the kang (a heated brick bed) and gestured for Qin Xiaoyu to lie down.

Qin Xiaoyu was used to sleeping on a Simmons mattress, and this hard earthen bed made her whole body ache. She tossed and turned for a long time but still couldn't fall asleep. She didn't dare to get up for fear of disturbing the madam.

"Fire!" A shout suddenly came from outside. Qin Xiaoyu sat up in fright. A huge fire was raging outside the window. She hurriedly pulled her wife up. The main beams of the house were made of wood and were dry. If it really caught fire, it would burn down the house.

The old lady was too old, her legs were weak, and she couldn't move. It was Hanhan's grandfather who rushed in, carried her out, and made her run away.

The one shouting "Fire!" was Tang Hu; he saw the fire when he went out to pee at night. The neighbors also woke up and tried to put out the fire with buckets of water, but their efforts were ultimately too weak.

Someone called for a waterwheel, which came whirring and whirring as it came in, but got stuck at the entrance of the alley.

In order to get more housing during the relocation, each household wanted to move a piece of their yard out, adding a few square meters of space. The area outside was piled with salvaged and broken furniture, making it impossible to even step on, let alone let a water truck pass through.

As the fire grew larger, everyone panicked. It didn't matter if the Tang family's house burned down, but if the fire spread to their own homes, they would have nowhere to live.

Everyone worked together to put out the fire, and by the time the fire was extinguished, the west wing had already burned down.

Qin Xiaoyu helped his wife to Aunt Yu's house, and only came out to check after things had calmed down there.

The fire started in the west room, so it burned the worst. Uncle was nowhere to be seen inside, and Aunt was crushed under the main beam, barely alive. Qin Xiaoyu asked Grandpa Hanhan to call an ambulance to take her to the hospital.

When my uncle came back yesterday, he sent the nanny away. My sister-in-law's family was the first to be informed by Tang Hu, so they ran away the most thoroughly. Everyone in the east room was unharmed, so only my aunt was injured.

Seeing that everyone had left, the lady had Qin Xiaoyu help her into the east room.

The room was dark and damp, having been drenched in water. The lady stood motionless for a long time, then sighed.

"Madam, why don't you move to my cousin's place first? I'll drive you there, and then I'll have Tang Long come and clear out your things," Qin Xiaoyu said, knowing the house was no longer habitable.

“You’ve got it backwards. I’ll watch you tidy up the house first, and then I’ll be sent away.” The lady pointed to a grand armchair next to her. This was the chair that Hanhan’s grandfather liked to sit in the most when he was alive. This time it was just dirty, but it didn’t catch fire.

Qin Xiaoyu went over and wiped the chair, then helped his wife sit down.

"Close the door and don't let anyone in," the lady ordered again.

Qin Xiaoyu had no choice but to obey and lock the door. She had seen the madam empty her pockets twice before, but she had never seen it so thorough. Although the madam was old, her memory was amazing. She could describe exactly where everything was hidden.

So what Madam said about guarding the Tang family's wealth for decades was really true; this fortune is priceless.
