Chapter 110 The Silkworm House Burns
Zhao Fuwei was not happy to hear what Li Qionghua said. "Why don't you say less? You still think you are right, don't you? No one is on your side."
Li Qionghua didn't expect Zhao Fuwei to look down on her so much. She became even angrier and kicked him angrily. "I'm doing so much for the good of my family. So far, all Lin Xi's businesses have been successful. We can follow behind. Even if we don't make a lot of money, we can definitely make a little money."
"Just look at how other people make money. At the beginning, they raised fish and ducks in the fields, and a group of people in the village followed suit. In the end, few of them succeeded. You think you can do it just by looking at the surface." Zhao Fuwei thought that his persuasion was sincere.
However, Li Qionghua was even more depressed. "This is not possible, that is not possible. Where would the family get the money? I still want to send my child to school."
"Study?" Zhao Fuwei finally understood the source of Li Qionghua's troubles. "He can't even continue studying at the Wang family's school. How can you expect him to study?"
It’s not enough to just think about it, Li Qionghua complained in her heart.
Studying must cost a lot of money. If she doesn't want to find a way to make money, can she rely on her father-in-law to allocate money to her?
…
Cui Hongyue and Xue Lili were delighted when they heard that Lin Xi had gone to Zhao's house and made a big fuss and had a great effect.
It turned out that they were still worried about causing trouble for Lin Xi.
However, Lin Xi still told the two of them once that if something similar happened again in the future, they must report it in time and never hide it, as it would not be good for anyone.
The two nodded quickly.
Just when the two thought things were going well, an accident happened.
Early in the morning, the two came to the silkworm house as usual, but unexpectedly they smelled an abnormal smell from a distance.
Cui Hongyue was the first to react, "Why does it feel like something is burnt?"
Xue Lili quickly ran to the front. She was shocked to see that the entire door of the silkworm house had turned black, obviously blackened by smoke.
Xue Lili's expression changed drastically and she quickly opened the door. A thick black smoke came out from inside, choking people so much that they couldn't open their eyes.
"What's going on?" Cui Hongyue hurried over and was completely dumbfounded when she saw what was happening.
The silkworms in the room had been blackened by the smoke and were obviously all dead.
There was a pile of firewood left in the silkworm house, obviously someone was burning firewood there and suffocated all the silkworms to death.
The two of them knew better than anyone how much Lin Xi valued silkworm farming, and now that things had turned out like this, they found it hard to accept.
"Who is so heartless to dare to do this!" Xue Lili's eyes turned red with anger.
They had carefully raised these silkworms for ten days, and she couldn't accept seeing them destroyed in one day.
"Do you think it was Li Qionghua?" Xue Lili was furious and suddenly thought, "Didn't the boss have a fight with her yesterday? She must have been seeking revenge on him."
It has to be said that this time Xue Lili and Cui Hongyue thought the same thing, and she held a similar opinion.
"We don't have any evidence now. Even if we go find Li Qionghua, we can't do anything as long as she refuses to admit it." Cui Hongyue was also worried. Since she didn't catch the person at that time, it would be very difficult to find out the truth afterwards.
"Anyway, tell Boss Lin about this first." Cui Hongyue said.
Lin Xi felt that the whole world was hostile to her silkworm farming. Yesterday, Li Qionghua came out, and today, an unknown person burned down the silkworm house.
Lin Xi didn't think so about the speculations put forward by the two people. Although Li Qionghua didn't get along with her, she didn't seem like someone who would use such a sinister trick.
After inspecting the scene, she became more convinced of this idea.
It is difficult for a woman to break the door lock and come in to burn firewood in the middle of the night.
"Sister Xue, go and invite the village head over." Lin Xi said.
Xue Lili hurried to invite Zhao Tan.
Burning the silkworm house was a big deal. When Xue Lili came back, she was followed not only by the head of the village, but also by many other people.
Zhao Tan looked at the scene and also frowned.
It was so dark in the night and there were too many suspects who would come and burn the silkworm house.
"Lin Xi, it is indeed wrong to burn the silkworm house, but the dead silkworms in your house are all young silkworms, and the actual loss caused is not that big. In my opinion, you should just forget it." Zhao Tan said.
Lin Xi found it unbelievable. Although she knew that the head of the village had disliked her, she didn't expect that he would show it so blatantly now.
"This is inappropriate. I have carefully fed these silkworms for several days. Who will be responsible for the losses caused?" Lin Xi said.
Zhao Tan sighed, "Lin Xi, it's not that I won't help you with this matter, it's just that I don't know where to start. How can I find it without any evidence or clues?"
Lin Xi sneered in her heart. It was wishful thinking for Zhao Tan to get rid of her with just this excuse.
"Village head, I spent sixty taels of silver to buy these silkworm seedlings. If you don't investigate the truth about such a huge loss, who will compensate me, the village?" Lin Xi said.
Zhao Tan nearly choked to death on his own saliva. Just that bit of silkworm was worth sixty taels of silver!
Lin Xi felt that he was not wrong. After all, 60 experience points were earned by 60 experience points.
"If you don't give me an explanation today, I won't leave." Lin Xi said as he sat down on the ground, acting a bit like a rogue.
Seeing that Lin Xi had said so much, Zhao Tan felt that he was forced to agree.
"Lin Xi, you are deliberately making things difficult for me. I can't go to each family to ask who burned down your silkworm house, can I?" Zhao Tan said seriously.
At this time, someone in the crowd said, "It might be Li Qionghua who did it. Didn't they have a fight yesterday?"
Li Qionghua was immediately unhappy, "What nonsense are you talking about? I stayed at home honestly last night!"
"If you say so, then so be it. We don't know."
Li Qionghua rushed to the head of the village and said, "Investigate. We must get to the bottom of this today. I want to see who wants me to take the blame for him."
Now Zhao Tan was trapped between the two parties and had no choice but to agree to the investigation.
However, how to investigate is a problem.
Lin Xi gave Zhao Tan an idea. It was most likely done by someone in the village. As long as they had someone check each person's whereabouts one by one, the one who didn't match would naturally be the murderer.
Zhao Tan was deeply skeptical of Lin Xi's method, but he was too lazy to care. He just did what Lin Xi said, and if there was any problem again, it would not be his problem.
With a half-believing and half-doubting attitude, Zhao Lizheng and Zhao Pingwei began to inquire about the whereabouts of each family one by one.
What they didn't expect was that there was actually one household whose statement was inconsistent.
The man said he slept at home and did not go out at night, but the woman said that the man got up in the middle of the night and went to the kitchen to drink water.
The two people had different statements, so Lin Xi suggested that they confront each other face to face.
As they were talking, the two of them actually started arguing in front of them.
There's no need to keep asking here, it must be this one.
Sure enough, the two of them told the truth during the argument. It was that man who burned down Linxi's silkworm house last night.
