As she spoke, her eyes filled with tears again.
Xiao Xuan was her life, her everything. She couldn't even imagine what her life would be like if Xiao Xuan died because of this...
"Oh, it's nothing, just a small favor."
Xiao He waved his hand, about to say a few words of modesty, when another person rushed in, crying and shouting.
A woman in her fifties or sixties ran over, glanced at the charred house, then screamed and rushed forward to hit the child in Yu Minzhen's arms: "Ahhh! You good-for-nothing, you slut, you can't even stay at home properly, you actually set the house on fire, I'll beat you to death, beat you to death!"
"Hey! What's going on?!"
A firefighter nearby shouted and stopped the woman from moving, but she just sat down and started wailing, "Why is my life so miserable! This wretched woman gave birth to a little wretched child who can't speak, and now she's burned down the house my son worked so hard to build! My God! Please open your eyes and look! I can't live like this anymore!"
Yu Minzhen hugged the little girl tightly, her expression grim: "Mom! Is this a time for house issues? Xiaoxuan almost died!"
"He deserves to die! He deserves to die! How come this good-for-nothing didn't die? Which bastard saved him? He must be out of his mind!"
Xiao He: ?
At this moment, Xiao He was like a dog watching a show on the side of the road, who was suddenly kicked by this person.
"Hey, what do you mean by that? Are we wrong to save people?"
He Junhao immediately questioned him.
The older woman thought He Junhao had rescued the person, but upon seeing He Junhao's appearance, she knew he was a college student and easy to bully. She immediately put her hands on her hips and started yelling: "Yeah! How did you rescue the person? Did you just rush into our house? Did you steal our things in the chaos? And that door, you kicked it, didn't you? That won't do, you have to pay for that door!"
He Junhao laughed in exasperation: "Huh? Auntie, are you kidding me? It's wrong for people to put out a fire? We should have just burned your house down!"
Several firefighters nearby were also displeased: "We kicked the door down, so what? It's one thing for an adult to leave a child at home, but we've repeatedly told you not to bring electric bike batteries home to charge. And what did you do? Not only did you bring them home to charge, but you even locked the door from the inside! The child couldn't get out and almost died. And now you're going around blaming others?"
As the firefighter spoke, Yu Minzhen's face suddenly turned very pale: "Mom! Didn't I tell you not to bring the batteries back? It's a huge safety hazard! And you're usually home at this time, aren't you? Where were you today? Xiaoxuan needs someone to take care of her, and in this situation, she couldn't even call for help. You almost killed Xiaoxuan!"
When questioned by Yu Minzhen, the aunt's eyes darted around for a moment before she retorted defiantly, "What? Does that mean I, an old woman, have to be your slave every day? Can't I have my own time to rest? What business is it of yours whether I'm home or not! That little brat is so stupid, she doesn't even know how to put out a fire in this situation, she's a complete waste! No wonder she was born with such a useless mother—"
Then the aunt began to list Yu Minzhen's crimes in detail, and her choice of words and her demeanor made the people around her feel uncomfortable.
After listening for a while, He Junhao rolled his eyes and said, "So you're just sexist, wanting a grandson so you torture your granddaughter to death. I don't think you're even human."
The woman instantly flew into a rage, pointing her finger at He Junhao's nose and launching into a tirade: "What are you saying, you bastard? You motherless wretch..."
This woman clearly received training in the village; her cursing was simple and unadorned, summed up in one word—"filthy"!
The most direct greetings and the purest attacks make one's blood pressure rise uncontrollably, gradually turning red.
How could this person's mouth be so filthy?
He Junhao was so angry he was about to vomit blood, but he prided himself on being a well-mannered college student. He couldn't bring himself to retaliate with blunt words, but if he used sarcastic language, the other party probably wouldn't understand. It felt like punching a pile of shit and getting splattered with it all over himself.
Just as He Junhao was about to say something, Xiao He suddenly pressed down on his shoulder.
He Junhao turned his head: "Brother Xiao?"
Xiao He stared at the middle-aged woman expressionlessly, his tone cool: "I was going to confirm this earlier, but it seems I don't need to now."
Then he immediately took out his phone and dialed the police: "Hello, police officer, I suspect someone is abusing children here, please come quickly!"
