Chapter 69: Money, She Saved It

In a daze, Hua Xiali was awakened by a thick smoke. She opened her eyes while coughing violently. When she saw her room turned into a sea of ​​fire with flames rising to the sky, she was so shocked that she woke up immediately.

Her family's kitchen was on the other side of the main room, separated by the spacious main room. Even if there was a fire in the kitchen, it would not have spread here. But now this place was surrounded by flames, and it was particularly obvious that the fire was too strange.

Hua Xiali did not hesitate at all and quickly moved the box of money out of the space. She couldn't let her family think that the money was burned in the fire. Such a big shock would not only make her parents unable to bear it, but even her eldest sister and brother-in-law, who she had invested so much effort in, might become seriously ill. So she wanted to let them know that she had saved the money.

When Hua Xiali ran out of the room, Zhang Yongfeng just came out of the room carrying Hua's father on his back. Hua Chunli and Hua Qiuli were also there. At this moment, Hua Xiali felt a huge sense of grievance in her heart. They all woke up, but no one came to call her. She was awakened by the thick smoke.

If they had waited until Hua's father and mother were settled before going back to the room to call her or pick her up, she would probably have been poisoned by smoke!

Hua Xiali ran out with the box in his arms and ran straight to the door. He was about to hand the box to Hua Qiuli for safekeeping. When she went to get water to put out the fire, she saw Huo Beixi running over breathlessly. He grabbed Hua Xiali's arm and asked nervously, "How is it? Is everything okay?"

Hua Xiali knew that now was not the time to be hypocritical, but facing the concern of outsiders, her eyes still reddened. She shook her head, "I'm fine."

"You go and rest over there first." Huo Beixi settled Hua Xiali at the edge of the open space in front of the door, then picked up a bucket and went to the well to fetch water to put out the fire.

Zhang Yongfeng carried Hua's father to Hua Xiali's side and went to put out the fire together. Now that the house was on such a big fire, nothing could be taken out, and Hua's father could only sit on the muddy ground. It had not rained this year, so it was okay to sit on the ground, except that there was some dust!

Hua Chunli, Hua Qiuli and Hua's mother were all sitting on the ground in shock. They were so frightened that their legs went limp and they had no strength in their bodies. They decided not to hold them back.

Looking at the blazing flames, Hua's mother couldn't help crying, "All our belongings are gone, our home is gone, all our years of hard work ..."

"Mom, we only lost our house, but we still have the money!" Hua Xiali patted the box in his hand and soothed her, "If the old doesn't go, the new won't come. When my house is built, we will build a new one right away. We want to build a bigger and better house."

Today's fire was obviously man-made. I don't know whether it was intended to prevent their family from rising or to take revenge on them. When we build a new house in the future, we must pay attention to fire prevention. We can't let someone else burn down our house again.

I'm going to go to the new house tomorrow and have a good talk with the team leader, asking him to come up with a better solution. Even if someone really wants to burn down their house, we can't let them succeed.

Fortunately, she had always known that someone was jealous of her family, so she had long ago placed Hua Chunli's college things with Huo Beixi, and today she also placed the things she received from wholesale at her third and fourth uncle's homes, so the loss to their family was not too great. There were only some old furniture left in the mud brick house!

This is a good opportunity to build a bigger and better house.

"The money is still there?" Hua's mother obviously did not expect that Hua Xiali would rescue the money.

Hua Xiali opened the box, let them take a look, and then quickly closed it. There were many people coming to put out the fire, and they couldn't let others think that their family had no losses, lest they come up with other ways.

The person was fine and the money was still there. Hua's mother finally let go of her worries. Then she sat down on the ground as if all the strength in her body had been drained away.

"Sister, Qiuli, don't worry. There is a saying that goes, 'Good fortunes are closely related to misfortunes, and misfortunes are closely related to good fortunes.' This is not necessarily a bad thing for us, so we should think positively. After a while, we can live in a brand new big house. And this fire is burning so brightly, does it mean that our future will be as prosperous as this fire?"

There was a fire at home and no one called her, but now she has to pretend to be calm and try to comfort them. If she hadn't woken up, she might never wake up. Who would have known?

Who else will come to comfort her?

Why is it that no matter in the past life or this life, she is never the one chosen firmly by anyone?

The house was engulfed in a huge sea of ​​fire. The roof beams were burned off and fell from above. Flames rose up and thick smoke billowed. The inky black sky above their roof was obviously much darker than the rest of the sky.

My third and fourth uncles heard the noise and came over with buckets. With everyone's concerted efforts, they finally put out the fire. There was only thick smoke left, and they were worried so they continued to pour a lot of water.

Yu Qingxin and Yan Yishen also came. This time, there were four public security comrades in total. They surrounded Hua Xiali's house and started an investigation.

After the fire was put out, the people who came to help put out the fire also went back. Huo Beixi walked up to Hua Xiali and the others and said, "Uncle Tiefeng, Aunt Ju, I live alone and my home is big. You can go to my house tonight to rest for a while and talk about these things tomorrow. Is that okay?"

"Secretary Huo, thank you for your help." Hua's mother said a little stiffly.

"Auntie Ju, I'm the village party secretary. It's my job to handle issues and solve problems for the villagers. How can there be any problems?" Huo Beixi restrained his usual sharpness. "Let's go. Let's go and have a rest first. Just leave the investigation to those comrades. They will definitely give you justice."

Everything in the house was burned. There was no point in staying here to look at it. It was a ruin. What was there to see?

After the new house is built, all the furniture will have to be bought again.

Everyone got up from the ground, Zhang Yongfeng carried Hua's father on his back, and then everyone walked towards Huo Beixi's house together.

At that time, rural families had quite a large population, with at least four or five people in a family. If you add the two elderly people, that would be seven people in total. So Huo Beixi's house was indeed the most suitable place to stay, because his house had such a big yard, and he was the only one living there. If there were so many people in their family, it would be too much of a disturbance if we went to anyone else's house.

Huo Beixi lived alone and had only one bed, so he gave the bed to Hua's father and mother who needed it more. Zhang Yongfeng shared a room with him, and the remaining three sisters shared one room.

Everyone was very tired and had no energy to think about washing up. After laying out the floor with bamboo mats and door panels, they just lay down to rest.
