Chapter 204 Cause and Effect
Feng Mengru felt very uncomfortable when she saw Li Chengyong standing in front of her and standing on her side without hesitation to fight against her brother and sister-in-law.
They didn't try to find a solution last night.
The two of them put several locks on the gate of the outer courtyard, the wooden door of the main hall, and the door of their bridal chamber, for fear that she would run out and cause trouble in the middle of the night due to hysteria.
But in the end, the next morning, when Li Chengyong woke up, he felt around and found that the bed next to him was empty and the mattress was cold. He felt a pang in his heart.
I wasn't sleepy anymore and woke up all of a sudden.
He jumped up and found that all the locks on the door that were locked last night had been opened by Feng Mengru with keys.
Li Chengyong: ...
It's outrageous.
He clearly hid the key from Feng Mengru!
Not only was it outrageous, he even broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
He hurriedly ran out of the house, worrying about where to find someone, but then Zhang Xiuer was standing at the door with Feng Mengru in her arms.
Feng Mengru was covered in carbon ash and was unrecognizable.
Li Chengyong was so worried looking at her helpless and hopeless face that he felt like his head was about to explode.
What could happen? That's his wife, he just married her yesterday.
"Have you thought it through?"
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Zhang Xiuer said impatiently.
"I've thought it through," Li Chengyong said seriously, emphasizing each word, "No stop!"
Zhang Xiuer: ...
Li Fugui: ...
The four of them were still arguing, but Baoya couldn't stay any longer. She had to go and make sure whether Sister Mengru had eaten the "candy" she gave her!
But if Feng Mengru didn’t eat it, she would also be worried. Could she ask Ji Ji for another piece in her dream?
While Li Chengyong was arguing fiercely with Zhang Xiuer and Li Chengyong, Baoya sneaked out of the crowd and slipped behind Feng Mengru.
He reached out and tugged at the corner of her clothes: "Sister Mengru!"
Feng Mengru turned around and saw Baoya, and was a little surprised: "Why are you here?!"
Baoya raised her chubby little face, waved at her, and whispered in her ear, "Sister, did you eat the candy from yesterday?"
Feng Mengru didn't expect that Baoya was still thinking about the candy from yesterday. However, she did find it under the cabinet later. She peeled off the candy wrapper and ate the candy. It tasted a bit strange.
But this was Xiao Baoya's kindness, so she naturally couldn't waste it.
"Eat it. This is the first thing Baoya gave me. I will definitely not throw it away."
She got sick after eating it? Could it be that the meat that Ji Ji gave her was fake?
Baoya frowned: "Sister Mengru, now that you've finished eating, how do you feel?"
Feng Mengru thought her question was strange, but she answered seriously: "I don't feel anything, I just had a dream last night."
Dreaming? Baoya's eyes suddenly lit up.
"So what did you dream about?!"
"Hmm..." Feng Mengru thought for a moment and said, "That dream was so strange. I actually dreamed that our house was on fire."
It was not the home she and Li Chengyong lived in Feishui Village, but her mother's home in Dawang Village, the home of Feng the blacksmith and her mother Feng Liu.
She dreamed that a raging fire was on the main house of her house, and the blue brick walls were falling down piece by piece. She and her parents ran out for their lives.
Their bodies were filled with burning heat, but they couldn't escape because the door was locked.
She was so anxious that she cried, and finally she found the key to unlock the door in an empty vegetable jar on the cabinet in the house. She opened the door and the three of them escaped together.
After she and her parents escaped from the house, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she felt a pain in her ear and woke up suddenly.
He found himself wearing a thin undergarment, standing in front of Li Fugui's barn, holding a flint and firewood in his hands. The barn had collapsed, and was charred black, with a pungent smell of burning wood. The animals inside were nowhere to be found.
Later, Zhang Xiuer dragged her back to find Li Chengyong in a rage.
After listening to this, Baoya felt as if something was about to burst out of her heart. She felt that she should be able to know immediately what was going on with Feng Mengru's hysterical problem.
She took a deep breath and said to Feng Mengru, "Sister Mengru, I saw Aunt Zhang rummaging through your house yesterday."
Feng Mengru reached out and touched Baoya's head: "Sister knows about this."
"I also saw a large crescent-shaped scar on Aunt Zhang's left arm."
As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Mengru suddenly frowned and an expression of unbearable pain appeared on her face.
"Sister Mengru! What's wrong with you?!" Baoya was startled and screamed out.
When she shouted like that, Li Chengyong, Zhang Xiuer, Li Fugui and others also noticed it.
"Mengru!" Li Chengyong quickly reached out and hugged the unsteady Feng Mengru. "You...what's wrong with you?"
"What could be wrong with her? She must be pretending!" Zhang Xiuer rolled her eyes impatiently.
Li Fugui also said with a sullen face, "What are you two doing here? While Liu Li is here, quickly cut off ties with him! Then move far away and don't rely on us!"
"Shut up!"
Feng Mengru was still feeling extremely uncomfortable, and Li Chengyong was so anxious that his eyes turned red, and he yelled at the two troublemakers.
Zhang Xiu'er and Li Fugui didn't dare to say anything. It was the first time they saw Li Chengyong being so arrogant, and they were frightened.
Just as she was getting anxious, Feng Mengru's brows slowly relaxed, and her face, which had been pale just now, returned to normal.
"Mengru, are you... okay?" Li Chengyong asked in surprise.
Feng Mengru nodded lightly, her red eyes filled with hatred.
"I remember everything now." She said in a cold voice, "The fire when I was three years old was set by Zhang Xiu'er."
The fire burned down her family's house and nearly killed her family of three. Her mother was six months pregnant at the time and had a miscarriage while she was escaping.
After that, Feng Liu's health was always poor, so the old couple Feng had only one child, Feng Mengru, for so many years.
Her voice was loud, and Zhang Xiuer and Li Fugui, who were standing not far away, also heard it.
"You're talking nonsense! Why would I set fire to your house?" Zhang Xiuer's face looked a little ugly, but she still retorted firmly.
"Are you afraid of being divorced that you're starting to talk nonsense?!"
Li Fugui also glared at her: "Zhang Xiuer's family is from Xiaowang Village! She is only two years older than you. How could she possibly run to your Dawang Village and set fire when she was five years old?"
"She has relatives in our Dawang Village, and she was living with her relatives. That day, her relatives had something to do, so they sent her to our house to play." Feng Mengru spoke every word very clearly.
Because she remembered what happened that day so vividly.
In the morning, because she was ignorant, she fought with her pregnant mother for eggs and was slapped twice by her father. She was crying in the house when Zhang Xiuer was sent over.
