Tiger was flattered by everyone's praise, and was taken aback when he suddenly heard these words.
Then he said, "How else could I know? I saw him covered in blood, secretly washing his clothes in the river!"
In fact, he didn't know the truth of the matter.
But does that matter?
Now that Li Weidong has been arrested, the whole village knows about it.
From now on, I will be the most capable person in the village!
Moreover, even if Li Weidong didn't kill anyone, the blood on his body was definitely not innocent, and that little bastard could never beat him in this lifetime!
Tiger became increasingly smug, and just as he was about to speak again, a thick plume of smoke suddenly rose in the distance.
Others noticed too: "What's going on? Is it on fire?"
"Whose house is this? Help put out the fire!"
When a fire breaks out in a village, no one, regardless of whose household it is, can stand idly by.
Everyone rushed towards the fire to put it out.
Tiger, however, remained calm and slowly got up, saying, "You all take care of the firefighting; I won't go."
"After all, I still have to lead everyone to grow mushrooms and make a fortune. They are very precious, so we can't afford any accidents."
No sooner had he finished speaking than someone shouted, "Tiger, it's your house on fire!"
"What?!"
Tiger was dumbfounded and quickly ran home.
It really was his house that caught fire!
The fire shot skyward, billowing thick smoke; it was terrifying.
"How did my house catch fire?"
Tiger was both shocked and frightened. He hurriedly grabbed a bucket to fetch water, shouting, "What are you all standing there for? Put out the fire!!!"
When Wang Dahua and Zhao Shunqiang returned from the fields and saw that their house was on fire, they panicked and quickly joined the firefighting team.
The fire was huge, but fortunately there were many people, and after a tense rescue effort, the fire was finally extinguished.
Because the fire was extinguished in time, the damage was not significant. Only the kitchen was burned down, while the main room was fine and suffered no damage.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Tiger charged ahead, his face now completely blackened by the smoke, and he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
Wang Dahua and her husband weren't much better off; the couple were exhausted.
After finally calming down, I realized how strange it was.
"How did this fire suddenly start out of nowhere?"
Tiger was completely baffled.
Although it is October and the weather is dry, we are usually very careful when using fire. How could a fire possibly start out of nowhere?
A neighbor hesitated before speaking, "I think I just saw Li Weidong's wife acting suspiciously near your house... Could she have started this fire?"
As soon as he spoke, someone else chimed in, "I saw her coming too!"
Tiger instantly flew into a rage: "Damn it, that little bitch dared to set my house on fire?!"
Wang Dahua was even more furious. She got up and headed towards Li Weidong's house, saying, "I'm going to kill her!"
The whole family went straight to Li Weidong's house.
The villagers immediately followed to see what was going on.
...
It really was Zhou Xiaoye who started this fire.
When Li Weidong was arrested, she was more desperate than anyone else, and even considered that if anything happened to Li Weidong, she would go with him.
But after hearing Li Xiaoli's guess, she changed her mind.
If Hu Zi really did this to Li Weidong, then even if she dies, she'll take someone down with her!
Thinking about the hatred that Hu Zi's family had for Li Weidong, Zhou Xiaoye became even more certain that Hu Zi was the one who did it, and he made up his mind to take revenge.
But if she went to fight openly, she definitely wouldn't be able to beat Hu Zi, and she might even suffer a loss herself.
So, after much thought, she came up with the idea of setting the fire.
Even if no one dies from the fire, Tiger's family won't have an easy time!
After Zhou Xiaoye returned from setting the fire, he sat down by the telephone and waited silently for it to ring.
When Tiger's family arrived, she was leaning against the wall, silently shedding tears.
"Zhou Xiaoye, you little bitch, get out here right now!"
Tiger opened his mouth and started cursing.
Zhou Xiaoye's gaze gradually focused, and he looked up towards the door.
Tiger and his family, along with a large group of villagers, blocked the entrance in a grand procession.
"You still dare to come to our door..."
Zhou Xiaoye murmured to himself, then suddenly laughed.
She was worried that the fire wouldn't kill Tiger's family, and she had nowhere to vent her anger!
And then this family actually showed up at our door?
She suddenly stood up and walked out.
Tiger said angrily, "I'm asking you, did you set fire to my house?"
Zhou Xiaoye stood at the door, not saying a word, but staring intently at him with her bloodshot eyes, the hatred in her eyes almost overflowing.
Everyone was startled.
Some of the older folks couldn't help but frown: "This little girl, why does she look like a wolf cub? She's quite frightening!"
Tiger felt a chill run down his spine as he was being stared at, and couldn't help but take two steps back.
But soon, he realized what was happening.
The person in front of him looked fierce, but was actually just a teenage girl. He was actually scared by her!
A wave of shame and anger surged through him, making him furious. He stepped forward and slapped her across the face: "You little bitch, I'm asking you a question!"
Did you start the fire?
Zhou Xiaoye was slapped, and his face immediately swelled up.
But she still didn't speak, only glaring at Hu Zi with gritted teeth, appearing even more ferocious.
Tiger was both angry and anxious, and slapped her several times: "What kind of eyes do you have? You won't answer my questions, will you?"
"Believe it or not, I'll beat you to death!!"
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Xiaoye suddenly grabbed his hand and bit his arm hard.
The force was so great that blood appeared almost instantly.
"ah!"
Tiger screamed and tried to shake her off.
But Zhou Xiaoye became fierce, biting his flesh tightly and refusing to let go, as if she wouldn't give up until she bit off a piece of flesh.
Everyone was terrified.
Who would have thought that a girl in her early teens could have such a fierce side?
Enraged, Wang Dahua rushed forward and began hitting Zhou Xiaoye repeatedly, yelling, "You little bastard, let go!"
Zhou Xiaoye, in pain, finally let go, and was pushed to the ground by Wang Dahua.
Tiger had a deep bite mark on his wrist, and blood gushed out.
He was both angry and anxious: "You bitch, you burned down my house and you still dare to bite me..."
Zhou Xiaoye got up and glared at him fiercely: "You dare to hurt my man, then your whole family will suffer too!"
He was clearly just a thin, immature child, yet his intense hatred was chilling.
Tiger laughed angrily: "Fine, fine, so you admit it?"
"Did everyone hear that?"
He glared at Zhou Xiaoye: "I'll let it slide since you're young. This matter will be settled with a thousand yuan, otherwise..."
He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
Zhou Xiaoye stared at him and said, word by word, "You're lucky you weren't burned to death today."
"But tomorrow, the day after, and from now on, you won't be able to escape!"
"One day, I will burn you all!!!"
