Chapter 290



When the captain's wife woke up the next day, she learned that her home had become a ruin. She cried heartbreakingly and wished she could die on the spot.

After being comforted by the captain, she finally accepted the fact: "There is no money at home, how are we going to live in the future?"

The captain thought it was impossible to burn everything: "I'll go through it slowly when I get back. I'll find something."

When his wife heard this, she immediately got out of bed and said, "What are you waiting for? Go home now!"

The captain was worried about her health: "Do you want to stay another day?"

The captain's wife shook her head and said, "No, I was just smoked by the thick smoke for a while, it's no big deal.

If I can find something, maybe I’ll feel better right away.”

Seeing that she was in good spirits, the captain went to see the doctor to arrange for her discharge.

The captain's leg was not broken, but it was injured. In order to prevent the wound from infection, the doctor specially wrapped it with medical gauze.

Because of a leg injury.

He walks very slowly.

The captain's wife was very impatient. She turned around and saw that the captain was lagging far behind. She couldn't help but said anxiously: "Why are you so slow? You walk slowly, I'll go first."

Before the captain could even open his mouth to speak, his wife ran away: "..."

Less than ten minutes after running, he saw Xu Xiaoqing coming in a bullock cart. He was startled to see his mother here, "Mom, why are you here?

Where is dad?

Why don't you see Dad?"

The captain's wife did not answer Xu Yuqing's question, but looked at the lunch box on the oxcart and instantly guessed the purpose of Xu Yuqing's visit to the town: "Are you here to bring us food?"

Xu Xiaoqing nodded: "Yes."

The captain's wife climbed onto the bullock cart and said, "I've been discharged from the hospital. I'll go home and eat first. Let's go."

Xu Xiaoqing did not leave, and continued to ask his mother: "Where is Dad?"

"He's still behind. He walks too slowly. I won't wait for him."

Xu Xiaoqing: "..."

He drove on.

The captain's wife exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, why are you rushing to town?"

"Dad's leg is injured and he can't walk for long. I'll go pick him up."

When the captain's wife heard this, she realized that she had been so busy digging for things at home that she had forgotten about the old man's injured leg.

When the captain saw his wife coming back on the ox cart again, he was stunned for a moment: "You came here for nothing, and you didn't even have to wait for me in the end!"

The captain's wife glanced at him unhappily and said, "Hurry up, I still have to go back and look for things, what if I really find something!"

Return to the village entrance.

Before the ox cart came to a complete stop, the captain's wife jumped off and ran towards her home.

Seeing the ruins, the captain's wife felt sad. The tears that she had finally forced back flowed out: "This house has been built for less than two years and it's already in ruins. This is killing me!"

Xu Xiaoqing's wife came over and said with red eyes: "Mom, no one lives in the house on the old land. We can live there. When we have money to build a house, we can move here."

On the way back to the village, the captain's wife also thought: "It can only be like this! Oh, what luck!"

As she spoke, she wiped the tears from her face and walked towards the ruins.

She moved the collapsed beams away and searched everywhere inside.

Xu Laoda's wife knew what her mother was looking for, so she immediately walked over and said in a low voice, "Mom, don't look for it. I dug out the money."

The captain's wife was delighted and asked excitedly, "Did they really dig it out? How many are there?"

The eldest son's wife whispered, "One hundred and eighty, mother. Fortunately, you put it in an iron box. If you had put it in a wooden box, it would have burned to ashes."

Not a penny less, the captain's wife was finally relieved, she showed the first smile since the fire: "Okay, that's good, we'll live in the local house first, and after the New Year, we'll build a new house."

"Well, this is a blessing in disguise."

꿗꿢.

Xu Jiajia came to the captain's wife and said, "Auntie, I have something to tell you."

The captain's wife was very grateful to Xu Jiajia: "Jiajia, we are so lucky to have you this time. If it weren't for you, I don't know what kind of tragedy would have happened!"

Xu Jiajia said: "The fire is the spark left when your grandson played with fire."

Before the captain's wife could say anything, the eldest brother's wife suddenly flew into a rage. She jumped up and was about to beat the child, but Xu Jiajia immediately stopped her and said, "Don't be impatient. It won't be too late to beat the child after I finish speaking."

Xu Jiajia's words calmed the eldest daughter-in-law down a lot. The captain's wife also held back her anger and gave Xu Jiajia face: "Jiajia, tell us everything you know."

"I talked to him and he said he didn't do it on purpose. When I asked him this question, he was very scared and even wanted to jump into the river to commit suicide. Based on my many years of experience in solving cases, I know he was not lying. He felt guilty and really wanted to jump into the river to commit suicide.

He cried loudly, saying that he almost killed his entire family and he had no face to live on.

The child is still emotionally unstable.

My grandma is still doing ideological work for him.”

The boy thought he could keep it a secret, so he had no intention of telling anyone unless they asked.

However, when Xu Jiajia asked him, he did not hide it.

The child has a good heart, but has no sense of security.
