"What the hell is going on?"

No matter how hard the three men in the Li family thought, they never imagined that someone had thrown firecrackers into their chimney.

"Oh dear, go check on the meat in the pot!"

Li Erzhuang suddenly remembered that there was still meat simmering in the pot, so he hurriedly rushed into the house.

The others then remembered and quickly ran inside.

By this time, most of the thick smoke in the kitchen had dissipated, and the situation inside the house could be clearly seen.

The Li family's eight-seal iron pot was simmering a large pot of meat, quite heavy, but it didn't fly off the stove.

However, the earthen stove had cracked in several places, the lid had fallen off, the pot was tilted, and the meat and soup inside had spilled everywhere.

The worst part was that the ashes and embers from the stove were scattered everywhere, covering the entire kitchen in a layer of ash and dirt.

The water tank was uncovered, and a layer of dust floated on top of it.

The meat in the pot was also covered in ash and dirt, almost like mud.

Upon entering the east room, it was found to be almost entirely covered in dust.

Lifting the mat on the kang (heated brick bed), it was discovered that the surface of the kang was covered with cracks as thick as fingers from the shock, and the part of the kang that was next to the chimney had collapsed completely.

If this kang (heated brick bed) isn't rebuilt, it definitely won't be safe for anyone to sleep on.

"It's all your fault. Why did you have to go and steal a wild boar?"

"Well, now we didn't get to eat the pig, and our kang (heated brick bed) is completely wasted."

When Li's mother saw the state of the east room, she immediately slapped her thigh and started wailing.

"What are you crying about? Someone just threw something into our chimney, what does that have to do with stealing wild boars?"

Li Dabai, being older and more experienced, could roughly guess what was going on just by looking at the condition of the kang (heated brick bed).

"Damn, who the hell is this bastard doing something so despicable?"
