Old Mrs. Ji held the more than 500 yuan tightly in her hand. She thought to herself that she could build a house with three rooms at the front and two more rooms at the back, a total of four rooms, with a main hall in the middle. When her grandson was born in the future, having such a house would be a very prestigious thing in the countryside, and he would not have to worry about not being able to find a wife in the future.
Just as she was thinking, her hands suddenly felt empty. Her heart skipped a beat and she opened her five fingers to see that there was no money left. There was nothing in her hands!
"Ah!" Old Mrs. Ji screamed in horror. Before she could finish her cry, several screams were heard outside, which was very creepy in the middle of the night.
Old Mrs. Ji watched helplessly as her money disappeared, while outside, Liu E and her two daughters watched helplessly as the hanging stove and pot disappeared, and the porridge they had been looking forward to for a long time was also gone.
Ji Hongmei rushed to the place where the food was stored in the house, and saw that all the food was gone, including the dozens of kilograms of rice she had just received.
Sadness rose from the bottom of her heart, and at this moment, Liu E rushed in and attacked Ji Hongmei, "You evildoer, disaster star, it's all your fault. Ever since you came back, those filthy things have followed you. There's no peace in our home. Get out of here, go live with your parents in Hai City, and don't be around us."
Ji Hongmei has been raised as a rich lady since she was a child. How could she have ever suffered such hardship, such sin and humiliation?
She felt that this life was worse than death. She slapped Liu E in the face and said, "If anyone wants to leave, you should take your bastard daughter with you. Why should I leave? I was born by my mother. Is your bastard daughter from my Ji family? Well, it's the offspring of other families that will ruin my family's feng shui. Maybe it's the ancestors of the Ji family showing off their power."
Ji Fang was trying to persuade him politely. She always thought of herself as a lady from a noble family, and her words and actions made people feel disgusted.
"Sister, sister-in-law, please stop arguing. If people hear this kind of talk, they'll label us as monsters and demons."
Liu E cried and cursed, "What's the difference between now and being labeled as a monster? There's not even a grain of food left. How can we survive?"
Ji Tongping was also frightened. He looked around and trembled more and more. Not only was the food gone, but even their clothes and other valuable things were gone. He suspected that if he hadn't slept on the mattress, even the mattress under him might have been stolen.
Ji Xia: “…” No, it’s too dirty.
Not far away, Ji Xia threw all the clothes he got from the Ji family's cowshed into the real cowshed. There, a cow was urinating in a loose stream, and a large pool of urine and cow dung were mixed together. The cow's hooves stepped on it, stepping on all the clothes of Old Lady Ji's family.
Ji Xia came out of the cowshed and passed by the educated youth site.
At this time, the educated youth were also crowded in the kitchen, waiting for the porridge in the pot to be cooked. Some of them already had large teapots in their hands, anxiously waiting for this slightly dry porridge that they had finally managed to get.
But at this moment, suddenly, the flames in the stove rushed up and hit the roof.
The roof was covered with thatch, and when the fire started, the thatch burst into flames.
It was a dry season, and the entire roof was swept away almost instantly.
Ji Xia in the dark was also confused. She didn't expect that she just took away the pot from the educated youth's site, but she didn't expect that after the pot was gone, the fire in the stove would rise and burn the roof.
Fortunately, the kitchen was built next to it, low and a little distance away from where the educated youth lived. There was no wind at that time. Besides, even if the educated youth lived on fire, the fire would not spread to the village.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ye Huan, Shen Yan and others hurriedly ran out.
The thatch on the roof was burned, and ashes and sparks fell down.
The people waiting in their dormitory hurried out when they heard the noise. Without saying a word, Chen Zhigang picked up a ladle and scooped water to pour on the roof, and the fire instantly became much smaller.
Seeing this, Shang Zhikun hurriedly took out his washbasin, scooped water from the big vat in the yard and poured it on the roof. When the others saw this, they also quickly started to put out the fire.
Soon, the fire was put out.
Shen Yan, Li Hua, Ye Huan and others quickly retreated to their own rooms and began to pack their luggage, determined to leave quickly if the situation became bad.
Liang Yunyue ran out of the house, scooped some water and handed it to Shang Zhikun. She was so anxious that she was sweating all over. If the educated youth camp was burned down, they would not even have a place to sleep.
Qian Jingdan seemed to be thinking about something. She saw with her own eyes that the big pot in the kitchen had disappeared, and that was when the flames jumped onto the roof.
Seeing Li Hua and the others packing their luggage, she went in to pack it as well, but soon she stopped, took out her own basin and helped put out the fire.
Ji Xia saw all of this clearly. She didn't know what Qian Jingdan was thinking, but she was not afraid that she would know her secret. No one, and no one would, know her secret.
After taking away the money from Li Hua, Shen Yan and Ye Huan, Ji Xia climbed down from the jujube tree like a civet cat and left under the cover of night.
She was about to go home, walking along the back wall of the courtyard when she saw a brother and sister kneeling in the yard. Hmm? They looked familiar. Looking closer, she saw that they were the brother and sister who were cared for by their uncle and aunt.
From the house in front, there were sounds of laughter and joy. Shi Cuihua was heard saying, "Dong'er, eat more. This rice is still delicious."
"Mom, I want to eat it every day from now on!"
"Okay, luckily those two bastards got some food. This winter, I can eat white rice every day."
