Hu Chuncao looked at the house, which was now just surrounded by walls and billowing black smoke, and her vision went black. She fainted on the spot.
Yan Dagen collapsed to the ground. His house, the entire fortune of his life, was gone. Everything was gone. How were they supposed to live?
The village's brigade leader led the firefighting efforts, his cotton-padded coat riddled with holes, and his hair singed. "Dagen, we wanted to help you salvage some of your belongings, but the fire was too big. The house was probably doused with gasoline, and we couldn't get anything out. Luckily it was daytime; otherwise, several neighbors would have been in trouble."
"Dagen, did your family offend someone? Your son just got beaten up, and now your house is on fire."
"Yes, they almost dragged us down with them."
"Their family has been detained for several days. What exactly happened?"
"Baogen had a daughter before, which the couple abandoned. I heard that the girl is now a college student and has made great achievements. They went to acknowledge her, but the girl isn't stupid, how could she possibly acknowledge her? Who knows what happened, the whole family ended up in jail."
"They've already thrown it away, why would they shamelessly try to acknowledge it? That's outrageous!"
"They're just jealous because the girl's doing so well."
"Are the families who raised the children stupid? They worked so hard to send their children out and make them successful, and now these people want to reap the benefits? They deserve to fight back!"
"Absolutely, this person is heartless. You can't just throw away a cat or a dog like that; they're flesh and blood of their own flesh."
"retribution!"
The villagers discussed it and all thought that the Yan family deserved it.
Several neighbors said with dark faces, "Yan Dagen, we can't control what you do when you go out, but don't drag us down with you. Being your neighbor is the worst luck we've ever had."
"My family is in such a state, and you're still making sarcastic remarks. Your family is fine, isn't it?" Yan Xi glared angrily, her eyes wide. Her family was in such a terrible situation, and these people were still saying such useless things.
"We discovered it early, and all of us tried our best to put out the fire." Seeing the Yan family's attitude, the neighbors got angry and grabbed Yan Dagen, ready to attack him.
"Alright, it's all burned down, it won't bother you anymore," the villagers' words of advice were like a knife to Yan Dagen's heart. He looked at the ruins in front of him, his eyes bloodshot.
Hu Chuncao was woken up by the village women pinching her philtrum and pressing her tiger's mouth.
"Gods and Gods, our house is gone! How are we supposed to live?! Damn it! Who burned down our house? May they all die a horrible death!"
At this moment, Old Man Guan was lying calmly in the hospital. He was the one who found the person, and he asked Changshun to find an old friend to chat with and relieve his boredom.
He arranged everything involving the Yan family. If they behaved themselves, the matter would be over. As long as they stopped harassing Xiaoyu, he would let them go. Otherwise…
He's an old codger who's afraid of nothing. When he dies, he'll take all those who plotted against Xiaoyu with him, leaving absolutely no trouble for her.
The Yan family called the police again, and the police investigated Old Man Guan and the Li family again, but found nothing.
The Yan family's house couldn't be repaired in the dead of winter, leaving them homeless.
Yan Baogen is still in the hospital and still needs medical expenses every day.
Hu Chuncao spent her days in tears, constantly cursing Xiaoyu. She didn't know what would happen to her family in the future, so she could only vent her frustrations in this way.
Yan Dagen had a gloomy face all day long, trying to think of a solution. His family had no way to survive, and that little bastard still wanted to live a good life.
After Baogen was discharged from the hospital, Yan Dagen and Hu Chuncao took him directly to Yan Zhaodi's in-laws' house.
Yan Zhaodi's in-laws were definitely not happy, but they were from the same village and were in-laws. They had nowhere to stay, and they couldn't just kick them out in the dead of winter, so they had no choice but to reluctantly let them stay.
Yan Xi sidled up to Yan Dagen and said, "Dad, I was watching TV today and saw that people in other countries hold up big signs and banners during marches and such."
Yan Dagen: "What do you mean?"
