There is strength in numbers, and there was a well in the Ruan family's yard, which saved a lot of time. So the fire was put out quickly.
After everyone put out the fire, they found that the entire kitchen of the Ruan family had been burned to ruins, including the kitchen of Ruan Laoer's house next door.
Fortunately, the Ruan family's kitchen was built on the other side of the yard, not adjacent to the main house, leaving an empty yard in the middle. Otherwise, the fire would surely have burned down the house as well.
Old Mrs. Ruan looked at the burnt bare kitchen and suddenly collapsed to the ground, crying loudly, "My house... Oh... My house. It's all burned down. How can I live? Ahhh..."
The villagers who were helping to put out the fire didn't know how to comfort them at this time. It was really frustrating to encounter such a thing. They could only stand aside and worry.
"Hey, Mianmian, what happened to you?" Aunt Guihua suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that on the other side of the yard, Ruan Mianmian was half-helped up from the ground by Aunt Guihua. The blood on the ground and on her head was somewhat shocking.
Just now, everyone was in a hurry to put out the fire, and didn't even look to the other side. They didn't even notice that there was a person lying on the other side.
What happened to the Ruan family today? People were injured and a fire broke out.
Are there bad guys coming to the village? !
Ruan Mianmian pretended to be woken up. She looked at everyone with confused eyes, as if she had no idea what was going on.
Ruan Jinfu and Liu Cuifen looked at each other and didn't say anything. Could they tell everyone that their eldest daughter was knocked unconscious by their son?
Suddenly, Old Mrs. Ruan got up from the ground, rushed to Ruan Mianmian, and without saying a word, reached out to hit her.
As a result, Aunt Guihua stopped him, "Mianmian, what are you doing? How can you hit a child? Can't you see that the child's head is bleeding?"
"I'm hitting this unlucky star!" Old Lady Ruan shouted angrily, "How did she see the house? She was at home and didn't even know the house was on fire! My house... It's all this unlucky star's fault!!!"
"It's on fire?! What's on fire?" Ruan Mianmian said innocently, "I don't know anything."
The villagers who participated in the firefighting also said, "Mianmian just woke up. She was unconscious before. What does the fire have to do with her?"
"That's right, Mianmian is really so angry that she is confused."
"I don't think she's stupid. If she doesn't find a way to vent her anger, she'll be suffocated to death."
"You should keep your voice down. It's not good if she hears you."
''······''
When Mrs. Ruan heard the discussion, she became even angrier. "You are still pretending. You are at home. How come you don't know why the house caught fire?!"
Ruan Mianmian secretly pinched her leg, the pain made her tears well up in her eyes, and then she said hesitantly, "Grandma, I... I really don't know anything. After Jiabao... knocked me unconscious... I don't know anything anymore. Or was I just woken up by Aunt Guihua..."
Liu Cuifen thought to herself, "Oh no! How could this damn girl tell everyone that Jiabao beat her?"
Aunt Guihua was also surprised, "What? You said that the bloody wound on your head was caused by your brother Jiabao?"
Ruan Mianmian lowered her head, looking like she had said something wrong before and now was afraid to speak.
Aunt Guihua was furious. "Ruan Jiabao, you are so cruel to your own sister. We can't just let this go. You must give an explanation."
Aunt Guihua’s full name is Li Guihua. When she was young, she was called Widow Li. Her husband died early, and she lived alone with her mother-in-law and son.
A few years ago, the old lady was sent to the mountain quietly, and last year she sent her son to the army to serve as a soldier. She is well-known in the village for her tough character, and she is also willing to help others and fight for justice. Many people admire her. Since her son went to the army, her words have more weight, sometimes more effective than the director of the women's department.
After hearing what Aunt Guihua said, the villagers nodded.
Not only Mrs. Ruan was anxious, but Liu Cuifen was also anxious. She walked up and said, "Well, aunt, these siblings are just fighting, don't take it seriously. Every child has conflicts and quarrels. There's no need to make such a big deal out of it. When Jiabao comes back, I'll have a good talk with him."
"Liu Cuifen, as a mother, you can't be too biased. Look at the blood on Mianmian's head. It's just a matter of a fight. Besides, Ruan Jiabao is so lawless. He beat his sister when there was a conflict at home today. If he goes out to have a conflict the next day, can he beat others? ! "Aunt Guihua really looked down on Ruan Mianmian as a mother.
This Ruan Jiabao is about to become a bully in the village. Her son has suffered a lot from him in the past. She just didn't care about it because the child was young.
When the other villagers heard this, they realized that this was the truth.
Ruan Jiabao, who could be so cruel to his own sister at home, would kill someone if they offended him. This was not okay. Who doesn't have two children? What if the child offended him? What should he do?
Immediately, a villager echoed, "Aunt Guihua is right, we must give an explanation."
"That's right, this is too cruel, he must give an explanation. Otherwise, who would let their children play in the village? If they offend him, it would be disastrous."
"This Ruan Jiabao is not a good person. He once stole corn from our fields."
''······''
Some were even more enthusiastic and shouted, "I'll go find the captain," and then ran out.
Old Mrs. Ruan was furious. They were talking about the fire before, but now they were talking about her grandson. And it sounded like they were going to cause trouble for her grandson.
Liu Cuifen saw that everyone was getting excited and she couldn't do anything to stop them. She was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.
There were too many people here today because there was a fire and many people saw it. In addition to the first group of people, many more came one after another.
Otherwise, the fire wouldn't have been put out so quickly. The two kitchens are not big, but they are not small either. And the things in the kitchen are flammable. It's not easy to put out the fire.
The person who just said he was going to look for the team leader came back with him after a while. Also coming with him were some villagers who had finished work and came to watch the fun.
