While they were cleaning up, Chunxiao pulled out a secret compartment from the bedroom wall and took out the box and bundle inside. Maybe because there was a hollow environment inside, or maybe the fire was extinguished in time, the banknotes were not affected. She was finally relieved.
In fact, there was nothing much to clean up. There were only a few things, and they were almost all burned. The walls were black from being poured with water, so it was impossible to live there anymore. Fortunately, the animals were fine. By the way, the horse Dongsheng rode yesterday should be the family horse. I wonder when Dongsheng will come back. Could it be that he really went to catch someone as the man in the village said?
Yan Dashan rode a horse and took them back to the village. He had three main houses there, and now he had just enough space for Chunxiao and Xiaohua to live in.
"I think you should just live here from now on, little sister. It's so easy for something to happen at the end of the village. You've already got yourself into two different situations."
"I think so, Auntie. Why don't you just listen to my mother and move in? It was so dangerous yesterday. If Brother Dongsheng hadn't come to tell me, who knows what the hell would have happened to the house. Xiaohua must have been saved by Dongsheng. When we saw her, she was lying at the gate of the fence."
"Yes, this time it's all thanks to Dongsheng, otherwise it would have been a disaster. Chunxiao, why don't you listen to your sister-in-law and move in with mother."
Chunxiao looked at the family surrounding her and said, "I still say the same thing. How can a sister-in-law live in her brother's house for a long time? I have made up my mind. I originally wanted to rebuild the house. Now that the house has burned down, I might as well draw up the blueprints and build a house that I like. When the time comes, I will transfer four people from the village to come over. With someone in the house, I won't be afraid of the future."
"You are too stubborn. You don't learn your lesson even after suffering a loss. I can't control you." Zhou had no way to deal with her.
"Chunxiao, I asked you before how those kidnappers found you, but you haven't told me yet. After thinking about it, I realized that only our family knows the details. The kidnappers had already run away at the time, so how did they know?"
Chunxiao looked around the yard and saw no one else. She hesitated for a moment before telling her family, "It was Yan Sanjiang."
"What does this have to do with Yan Sanjiang?" Everyone sat down when they heard this. Yan Sanjiang had long since faded from their sight.
"Yan Sanjiang has been disfigured and is now in cahoots with the kidnappers. He must have seen us on the roof that day, so he ran away when the authorities arrived. It was his gang that abducted me in revenge. They took all the money and cloth in the house."
"How hateful." Dahe slammed the table, "Why didn't you tell the villagers when they asked just now? That Sun is always so sarcastic. Look at what kind of bird she gave birth to. She can do such a thing."
"She is unreasonable, but Daqiang and Zou are nice people. They don't have any conflicts with us. I think we'll wait and see when we catch them."
"What about Dongsheng?" Yan Bingfa looked at her curiously. "How did he know about the fire?"
"I don't know either. I can only wait for him to come back and ask."
"Have you reported it to the police?"
"I was afraid you would worry, so I went straight back after waking up and didn't go to the government office."
"Dashan, Dahe, drive the carriage to the township government. We need to report this to the authorities. Our village is in danger right now. We have to arrest the perpetrators."
A few people were talking in the house when there was a knock on the door. Yang Huaitian and Shufeng went to open the door and saw that the Fang family had arrived.
When Fang saw Chunxiao, she took her hand and said, "Chunxiao, it's us who have implicated you this time. If it weren't for saving Erchu, you wouldn't have been targeted by the kidnappers."
Yan Fuping also had a guilty look on his face. "Don't worry, we will find a way to compensate you for the money you spent on the house."
Several children huddled beside their parents without saying a word.
Chunxiao asked Shuwen to bring them stools. "Aunt Fang, Uncle Fuping, this is none of your business. Even if it wasn't today, I would still suffer once in the future."
The Fang family looked at her in confusion, "How could this be? This is the kidnapper's revenge."
Chunxiao was afraid that they would feel guilty, so she told them about Yan Sanjiang's incident, but only warned them not to mention it in the village.
"You are such a kindhearted girl. This damn Yan Sanjiang really doesn't know how to repent."
"I've already told you the whole story, so don't blame yourself too much. I was just about to ask Dashan and Dahe to report the case to the township government. We can't let these people go."
Wood and Stone were also angry. "These parasites, instead of using their energy to kill the enemy, they only harm their own people. They really deserve to die."
Yan Dashan and Yan Dahe went to the town, and Fang and the others stayed to talk, and they talked for a long time before leaving.
After everyone left, Xiaohua took her hand and said, "Miss, let me take a look at your hand. Is it serious?"
Chun Xiao looked at her head and said, "I want to see if your head is seriously injured. What's the big deal if your hand is a little scratched?"
Xiaohua hugged her and said, "Miss, you scared me to death. I thought something happened to you. Fortunately, you are fine."
"It's all our fault for being careless. Who could have imagined that a bad guy would come to our door?" Chun Xiao looked at her head. "Did you go to the clinic? Who bandaged you?"
"The village herbalist bandaged it for me. He said it was fine, but the skin was broken and it looked ugly."
Not long after, Shufeng came over with a bowl of red date soup. "Aunt, hurry up and replenish yourself. Mother said to replenish whatever you lack."
"Why do you always stay at your mother's place?" Chun Xiao looked at her with a smile, "You're already married."
"Aunt, you must have forgotten that today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, which is the day to visit relatives and go back to your mother's home." Shu Feng curled her lips, "I brought you soup out of kindness, and you still scolded me, Aunt, you are so irritating."
