Chapter 14 Children can’t lie!
So pale that it’s turning blue!
She probably remembered the porridge on the stove. Without saying a word, she ran away, faster than a rabbit!
God damn! Her house!
Old Mrs. Chu felt so sad that she could not even cry. Now she realized that she regretted it. She should not have come out while the meal was cooking. Even if people could not teach her, she would learn it once.
She rushed back without stopping, and saw that her house was really on fire, and it was almost burned down! Only a frame was left!
"Oh my god! My house, oooooooo!"
She was so angry that she immediately lay down and rolled over, without even noticing Xia Xian and her brother and sister standing beside her, and almost rolled under their feet.
"snort!"
Xia Yuan snorted heavily, attracting the attention of Old Lady Chu. Old Lady Chu glanced at the two of them, immediately stopped throwing a tantrum, sat up with a somersault, and held Xia Xian's thigh tightly, her voice sharp.
"God damn it! It must be you, a bitch, who set fire to my house! You are a bitch with a vicious mouth and a cruel heart! How did my Chu family offend you that you have to kill us all like this!"
"Someone come quickly! I caught the arsonist!!"
Both mother and son are good at ordering people around. They want others to watch, do things, and judge what is going on.
Everyone was busy putting out the fire and few people had time to pay attention to her. Only Director Mei stopped panting, her clothes soaked with sweat.
The fire was so hot that it could roast a person. Her face was also red and she felt like she was burned.
Xia Xian didn't bother to pay attention to Old Lady Chu's accusations, and instead looked at Director Mei with concern.
"Director Mei, you should take a break. You are burning all over. If you continue like this, you will hurt yourself!"
"Yes, I know."
Director Mei also knew that she was not in good condition now and did not plan to continue to put out the fire. Anyway, she had tried her best.
"Director Mei, are you thirsty? Have some soda! My sister bought it especially for you. It's super delicious!"
Xia Yuan grinned, revealing a few small white teeth, and presented her with a bottle of soda like offering a treasure. She also used a large leaf that she had picked up from somewhere to fan her. She was so well-behaved and clever.
Director Mei immediately took a liking to him. They were indeed siblings, both of them were sensible.
"No, I'm not thirsty, you guys drink..."
"No, my sister bought it especially for you! You've sweated so much, how could you not be thirsty? Don't be polite with my sister. Thank you, Director Mei, for helping my sister. You are such a kind person!"
The innocent admiration of a child was much more sincere than the flattery of an adult. Director Mei was delighted by his praise, and Xia Xian also persuaded her. Director Mei couldn't refuse, and she was really thirsty, so she took the soda and drank it.
No one paid attention to Old Lady Chu the whole time. She could just hold Xia Xian's legs and howl as she pleased.
No one was watching, and in the end she couldn't continue this drama anymore. She finally gave up, got up from the ground, and went to get water to put out the fire.
After waiting for the fire to be completely put out, only half of the house was not burned, and the rest was all charred! It would fall down if touched! Most of the things in the house were burnt and unusable!
Now Chu Sheng and his mother collapsed together. He held his head and kicked the wooden barrel.
“Fuck!”
Why does all the bad luck happen to him?
No matter how much of a mama's boy he is, he couldn't help but blame his biological mother.
"It's all your fault! If you hadn't gone to poop while cooking, the kitchen wouldn't have caught fire!"
Old Mrs. Chu hurriedly explained.
"Then how would I know there would be a fire! And we've always done it this way before, and there was no fire! It must have been Xia Xian who did it! Otherwise, why would she suddenly come to our house!"
She immediately pointed the finger at Xia Xian again, and just put the blame on her without thinking twice!
Xia Xian's eyes were filled with tears of grievance.
"Suddenly? If you hadn't come to my house yesterday and spread rumors that I stole money and people, why would my dad be so angry and beat me and kick me out? If not, why would I come here today to ask Director Mei to help me make the decision, and why would I come to your house?"
"You even accused me of arson! If I had the guts, would I still let your family bully me? If not, let's go to the police station and report the case. Let the police give me justice!"
As Xia Xian spoke, she covered her face and cried again in grievance, which made anyone who heard it sad and saw it cry.
When everyone heard that this mother and son had done this again, they couldn't help but look at them with disgust.
It's really wicked to go home, it's really wicked to open the door, it's really wicked to go home!
Chu Sheng gritted his teeth and glared at Xia Xian with bloodshot eyes. He wanted to go if he wanted to. Even if there was a slight possibility, he could not let Xia Xian go and make up for his family's losses!
But Xia Xian didn't wait for them to speak, the next sentence was.
"You have slandered me time and again. This time the charges must be more serious than last time. I will definitely keep you in prison for more than just one night!"
When Chu Sheng mentioned the last time he was locked up, his anger suddenly subsided.
The Public Security Bureau is not a place where they can act like a spoiled child. They have already been humiliated twice by the Public Security Bureau. If they go there for a third time, they would be really stupid!
Therefore Chu Sheng resolutely refused to go!
He turned his gaze and set his sights on Xia Yuan, changing his words quite smoothly.
"You said it wasn't you who did it. Who knows if it was your brother who did it? He's at a very naughty age! He's capable of anything!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
"I would never do such a thing. I didn't even go near your house! You are wrongly accusing me! You see I'm a kid and you bully me. I want to find my parents."
Xia Yuan sat on the ground and howled at the top of his lungs. He couldn't cry out, but his voice was so loud that it overwhelmed Old Lady Chu's aura, making it impossible for her to howl.
She stood there in a daze, wanting to say something but stopping herself from speaking.
Xia Xian wanted to give her brother a thumbs up, he is truly a teachable boy!
"Children can't lie. If they say they don't have it, then it doesn't exist! You wrongly accuse the sister and the brother! There is really no good person in your family!"
Everyone was angry. Whether it was Xia Xian, who became a widow right after her marriage, or Xia Yuan, who had just started school, they both fit the image of a vulnerable group. Chu Sheng and his mother bullied two vulnerable people at once, and anyone with a conscience couldn't stand it!
"That's right! You are such a scoundrel! We have been helping you put out the fire for such a long time and you didn't even say thank you!"
Chu Sheng and his mother were attacked by everyone. Everyone pointed at them and scolded them, some even wanted to poke their fingers into their faces. Their heads were buzzing and they could not bear it any longer. They apologized dryly to Xia Xian and her brother.
In the end, Director Mei forced him to explain to Xia Xian's neighbors and clear up the misunderstanding about stealing money.
The faces of the two men were so ugly that they could not be recognized as faces. They looked as hopeless as dead people.
I lost my wife, my money, my house, and my face! Damn it! How did things turn out like this!!!
Xia Xian didn't care what their mood was. She was in a good mood and went to the basement humming a song.
Quan Ruifeng had been waiting for a long time. He raised his eyelids and looked at Xia Xian, who appeared with curved eyebrows and slightly raised lips, and spoke coldly.
"You're late."
"Xia Xian."
