Chapter 13 Fire!
"Sister, you are so awesome!"
"Next time Aunt Feng will definitely not dare to say anything about you. If anyone else dares to talk nonsense again, we will go to her house and make her whole family restless!"
Xia Yuan was extremely excited, his eyes were bright, and he looked at Xia Xian with admiration.
He likes this kind of thing where he kills everyone. It makes him angry just to see his father and two brothers being so cowardly!
"That's right! I won't be bullied this time, but revenge also requires methods, courage and strategy, right? If you had rushed up to fight Aunt Feng today, would you have had the same effect as today?"
Xia Xian took the opportunity to educate her younger brother and guide him patiently.
"Yes! Sister is right! We can't just rely on fighting to solve the problem!"
Xia Yuan nodded heavily, and took the words "crying and complaining" to heart, which led him to go further and further down the path of being a green tea...
Xia Xian didn't realize yet that she wanted to straighten her brother, but ended up bending him in the other direction. She and Xia Yuan ran to the Chu family again.
The two stopped near the Chu family.
"I'll go find Director Mei to help me talk to them. You just wait here. If you see the Chu family coming out, ignore them. If they come back from outside, hold them back."
"I was afraid that they would know Director Mei was here and hide in their rooms and refuse to open the door."
Xia Xian gave instructions, handing the important task over to her brother.
"How do I hold her back?"
Xia Yuan looked at Xia Xian with shining eyes, wanting to hear her sister's opinion.
"However you think you can hold her back, just do it. Use your intelligence and wisdom, but remember, don't hit her! Don't give her the opportunity to accuse you of morals, and don't give her the opportunity to make you pay for it!"
Xia Xian casually taught her brother some knowledge and then left in a hurry.
In fact, none of this matters. It's just that she couldn't send Xia Yuan away, so she simply gave him something to do so that he could be more content.
Xia Yuan thought that he was responsible for his sister's fate, so he clenched his fists and hid not far away with a serious look on his face. He stared at the Chu family with his dark eyes, making sure that he would know immediately if old lady Chu appeared!
However, Xia Xian did not go to find Director Mei immediately. Instead, she walked to a place where Xia Yuan could not see her and turned back from the other end.
She has lived in this area for decades and knows it better than anyone today. She knows every path by heart and how to avoid the crowds.
She carefully came to the back wall of the Chu family and saw Chu Sheng still sleeping through the gap in the window.
There was some movement in the kitchen, probably Old Lady Chu was cooking breakfast.
She had a habit of making breakfast. She would light the fire, put rice in the pot, and then go outside to poop. She was constipated, so it took her a long time to poop. Often, by the time she came back, the porridge would be almost dry. There wasn't much rice in the first place, so she had to rely on rice soup to fill her stomach.
Moreover, she didn't wash her hands when she came back before serving the rice, and her fingers were soaked directly in the rice soup, which was so disgusting.
Originally, it was only Old Lady Chu who made breakfast, but seeing this, she didn't even need her to make breakfast anymore and took care of all the housework by herself.
When Xia Xian thought about the things that happened in her previous life, she couldn't help but shake her head, thinking that she was really stupid.
But this just gave her an opportunity. Old Mrs. Chu often did this. Several times the pot was burned dry and smoking, and she almost set the house on fire. So it was normal for her to add fuel to the fire, right?
No one can see it, right?
Xia Xian had this idea last night. Since Chu Sheng and his mother dared to slander her, she would retaliate against them and leave them with nothing!
On the other side, Xia Yuan stared at the gate of the Chu family intently. After a while, she saw Old Mrs. Chu coming out, twisting her hips and running very fast.
He snorted coldly and wanted to chase her and beat her up, but due to his sister's instructions, he had to endure it and continue hiding there and waiting.
However, he waited and waited, but neither Old Lady Chu nor his sister came back.
Who did his sister say she was going to look for?
Xia Yuan didn't remember much. He slapped his head in annoyance and was hesitating whether to continue waiting there or leave to find his sister.
Suddenly, he noticed a puff of black smoke coming out of the Chu family.
"Huh?"
He couldn't help but stare with wide eyes, and half of his body leaned out.
The black smoke was getting thicker and thicker, and he also saw golden flames leaping out. Oh my god! It's on fire!!!
He ran out in a hurry, just about to call for everyone to put out the fire, but suddenly remembered that this was the house of the evil mother-in-law who bullied his sister! He immediately got excited, covered his mouth and hid back, and watched the fire grow bigger and bigger, he deserved it!
Better burn the house down!
He wanted to add fuel to the fire!
At this time, everyone is either going to work or busy with their own affairs at home and has no time to stroll around.
So the first person to discover that his house was on fire was Chu Sheng himself. He was awakened by the thick smoke and realized that something was wrong, so he suddenly jumped out of bed.
Running and shouting.
"mom!"
"Mom! There's a fire!"
He didn't care about anything and ran out barefoot without even wearing shoes, shouting for help at the door.
"It's on fire! Put out the fire!"
"What!"
People nearby heard the noise and came out, only to see thick smoke and a large fire.
However, the fire is still burning the kitchen roof and has not spread to the bedrooms. If we put out the fire now, we might be able to save one of the bedrooms.
The neighbors were anxious and scolded Chu Sheng.
"Your mom must have gone out with something burning again! Your house is on fire and you don't know how to put it out. Who are you calling for help? Why don't you move a little? Don't let the wind blow the fire to other places and set our house on fire!"
“That’s right!”
Everyone grumbled and complained, while running back to get water to put out the fire.
"My mom didn't do it on purpose!"
Chu Sheng was angry but dared not speak out, and he had to rely on everyone's help to put out the fire, so he could only swallow his complaints and excuses.
Chu Sheng was afraid that he would be burned to death, so he did not dare to go back to the water tank in his yard to fetch water. Instead, he went to his neighbor's house to fetch water. He even deliberately delayed for a while, waiting for his neighbor to go in first and see that nothing was wrong. Then he went in with a bucket of water to put out the fire.
The group of people put out the fire in a chaotic manner, but they could not catch up with the spread of the fire. Soon, the fire burned to the bedroom...
It was at this time that Xia Xian brought Director Mei over. They saw the flames from afar and asked in confusion.
"Why did it suddenly catch fire?"
"Isn't it? Does this count as evil deeds being punished?"
Director Mei Yanxia speaks quickly and boldly.
Just now, Xia Xian came to her and said that Chu Sheng and his mother went to her house and spread rumors to the neighbors that she stole money. She wanted her to help clarify the matter as a witness, and also wanted Director Mei to say more about the mother and his son.
When Director Mei heard this, she immediately ran over with Xia Xian without hesitation. When she suddenly saw this scene, she really couldn't help but make a sharp comment.
Xia Xian almost couldn't hold back her laughter, and she pinched her palms hard to hold it back. She frowned and said with a worried look on her face.
"If the house burns down, where will the mother and son live in the future? And they don't have money to build a new house. It's such a pity. I'll go and help put out the fire."
"You, you are too kind a wife. Anyway, your husband is dead, so you don't care where they live, as long as they don't live in your house. You don't have to go to put out the fire, it will be bad if they rely on you later. I will go to help, you wait here."
Director Mei had never seen anyone as kind and gentle as Xia Xian. She couldn't help but pat her arm and told her to relax and not worry about things that she shouldn't worry about.
Then he joined the firefighting team.
As for the mother that Chu Sheng was looking for, Old Lady Chu, she had just slowly come out of the toilet, her legs numb from squatting, when she heard that someone's house was on fire.
She was delighted and came over to ask, her wrinkled face smiling like a flower.
"Who is it? Which family is so unlucky? Let me go and take a look!"
The two men looked at her and said in unison.
"Your home!"
Old Mrs. Chu's face changed in an instant!
