Chapter 112 Who burned it?

Jiang Xia leaned against the door frame, panting, and glanced at Pan Daidi from the side.

Mother Zhou was stunned for a moment when she saw Pan Daidi coming out of the house. She handed a snakeskin bag to Jiang Xia and was about to say something, but at this time Zhou Zhou lowered his head and stood up to admit his mistake: "Grandma, I'm sorry, I burned the kitchen."

Her brother came to help her because she didn't keep a good eye on the fire when she was boiling water.

When Zhou Wenguang heard this, he immediately said, "Grandma, this is none of Zhou Zhou's fault. I was the one who boiled the water. I accidentally burned the kitchen."

Mother Zhou's attention was completely drawn to the two siblings. She looked at her eldest grandson and asked, "Who burned it?"

Zhou Zhou: "I burned it."

Zhou Wenguang: "It wasn't Zhou Zhou, I burned it!"

Zhou Zhou's eyes turned red with anxiety: "I was the one who made the fire, and you poured the water in because I didn't have enough strength."

"A real man should admit his actions. I was the one who burned it."

…

Seeing the two siblings rushing to admit their mistakes, Jiang Xia thought: The Zhou family’s children are really well educated.

Zhou Chengxin felt that it was not Zhou Zhou's fault. His niece had been helping to light the fire since she was a child and had never made any mistakes. How could she accidentally burn down the kitchen? Instead, it was his son who was impatient and careless, and even went to the toilet several times to do his homework.

Moreover, the son is the eldest brother and has greater responsibilities!

He picked up the broom in the corner and said, "Just admit it! You almost burned the house down. If you're not careful, you'll destroy the family. Do you think you should fight?"

"It's your fault." Zhou Wenguang stood there with his head down, waiting for his father to teach him a lesson.

He was primarily responsible for the fire in the kitchen.

If you are wrong, you must admit it; if you are beaten, you must stand firm.

Seeing that the broom was about to hit Zhou Wenguang, Zhou Chenglei grabbed the broom immediately: "Don't worry, let's find out the reason first."

Zhou's father also hurried forward to hold Zhou Chengxin and said, "Why are you beating me? When you were kids and made mistakes, did I ever beat you brothers? How could I beat you without knowing the reason?"

Zhou Chenglei: “…”

Does his father feel guilty for saying this? When he was a child, his father chased him and beat him across nine villages! Zhou Chengxin: "..."

Why did he remember that he, as the eldest brother, was often hung on a tree and beaten? And it was often because he did not take good care of his younger brothers and sisters.

He would beat them even if they admitted their mistakes or not! When did he care about right and wrong? He was the eldest brother. If his younger brothers and sisters made mistakes, it was his fault.

It is wrong for the eldest brother to fail to set a good example.

Why did his father start to talk nonsense when it was his son's turn? The great grandmother also said hurriedly: "Don't hit the child. Wen Guang and Zhou Zhou wanted to boil some hot water so that grandpa, grandma, uncle and aunt could have hot water to take a bath when they came back from the sea. Their starting point was good. Not only that, they also wanted to cook. I stopped them and said that my family would cook and they would come to my house to eat. Only then did they boil water."

"I am responsible for the fire. I forgot they were boiling water. I asked Wen Guang to help me catch the chickens and asked Zhou Zhou and A Jie to go to the store to buy salt. I forgot they were boiling water."

Zhou Chengxin felt even more guilty after hearing this. He went to his father-in-law's house early this morning to help fix the leaking tiles. Knowing that his mother would also go out to sea, he told Tian Caihua to remember to invite Zhou Zhou to their house for lunch at noon, and to come over to help cook dinner!

Now that the great-grandmother said this, it proves that Tian Caihua did not come to help cook. The eldest son was probably called by Tian Caihua to come and cook.

But since the eldest son is here, he must do his job well. Burning down the kitchen is a big mistake! If something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous! Zhou Chengxin: "Grandma, don't speak for them! How can you be blamed for this? Wen Guang is so old, and it's wrong to burn down the house while boiling water! It's a big mistake! He won't learn his lesson without a beating!"

Grandma: "Adults are careless sometimes, let alone children. I am half responsible for the fire in the kitchen! Really! If you want to punish me, punish me!"

Zhou Chengxin: “…”

Many neighbors came and advised Zhou Chengxin to teach his children well and not to beat them.

Zhou Chenglei winked at Zhou Chengxin: "Alright, I'll teach them a lesson."

Zhou Chengxin didn't move after hearing this, mainly because the children in the family were afraid of his fourth brother. If the children were really wrong, his fourth brother would punish them more harshly than he did.

Zhou Chenglei looked at the two siblings and said, "Tell me! How did the house burn down? You can't just admit your mistakes. I want to hear the truth. I want to know what happened."

As long as Zhou Chenglei has a stern face, no one in the family is not afraid of him.

The two siblings tried hard to recall what happened.

To be honest, they didn't know how the kitchen caught fire, and they were not in the kitchen at the time.

Zhou Zhou whispered, "My eldest brother and I boiled water together. Because I am not tall enough and not strong enough, my eldest brother said that I should be responsible for lighting the fire while he fetched water and poured it into the big iron pot, so I was the one who lit the fire."

Zhou Wenguang: "That was the case at first, but then Zhou Zhou went out to buy salt, so I continued to light the fire. Then my great-grandmother asked me to help catch the chickens. I saw that the water was already hot, so I thought the remaining firewood in the stove could continue to heat it, so I went out. Then I don't know how the kitchen caught fire."

When my great grandfather heard this, he said, "Then the remaining firewood in the stove must have fallen down and burned."

Zhou Chenglei went into the kitchen to take a look.

Others followed in.

The grandmother followed him and said, "Look, this is really my fault. If I hadn't asked Wen Guang to catch the chicken, this wouldn't have happened..."

Pan Daidi was afraid that she would not be able to escape, so she quietly went out while everyone went to the kitchen to find out the cause of the fire.

Jiang Xia leaned against the door frame of the courtyard gate, put down the snakeskin bag that Zhou's mother had just handed her, raised her foot, put one foot on the door frame, and looked at her indifferently: he had the posture of one man guarding the pass and ten thousand men unable to pass.

Pan Daidi: “…”

She looked at Jiang Xia and said with a smile, "Alei's wife, please move aside. The fire is out. Your house is fine. I have to go home for dinner."

Jiang Xia calmly retracted his foot and walked towards her with a smile: "Thank you, Auntie, for coming to help my family check if there is a fire. But the fire was so big just now, did it burn Auntie? Let me take a look!"

Jiang Xia just touched her all over.

"Ouch, it seems like my clothes are burned through."

Jiang Xia grabbed her and reached into his trouser pocket, pulling out a few sanitary napkins!

"Hey, what are you doing! What are you doing?!" Pan Daidi shouted in panic, trying desperately to stop him with her hands, but she was not as quick as Jiang Xia!

Then everyone's attention was attracted by the movement in Jiang Xia.

Zhou Chenglei also came out.

Jiang Xia reached into another trouser pocket and pulled out a few more sanitary napkins.

Then, he turned out a few sanitary napkins from the two pockets of his clothes.

Jiang Xia grabbed her and checked her body from head to toe, using the excuse of checking if she had any burns. She searched every place where something could be hidden.

"Don't touch me! It's a robbery! Help! Help! Is there any justice in this world? I came here to help put out the fire, but I was searched! Everyone be careful, something will go missing from his house soon, and they will suspect you!" Pan Daidi took advantage of the fire and started to fan the flames! Jiang Xia found ten sanitary napkins in total! Did he see that the cabinets in her room were locked and there was nothing to steal, so he even took the sanitary napkins? Jiang Xia held the ten sanitary napkins and sneered: "I wonder how many years you will have to serve in prison for breaking into a house and stealing?"
