Song Li was busy for several days in a row and wanted to take a good rest after finishing her work, but there was always someone who wouldn't let her rest.
"Pear, hurry, the mountain is on fire!"
Song Chengcai and Song Chenglin stumbled and knocked on the door of the He family. Song Li woke up from her sleep, hurriedly put on her clothes and opened the door.
"What's going on? Why is it on fire?"
Now is the harvest season. The food factory and the Song family have been waiting for half a year to sell the fruits. If the fire happens, all their efforts will be wasted.
The two brothers panted and stumbled to speak clearly.
"Yesterday, some unscrupulous person threw a cigarette butt into the back hill. The night watchman didn't notice it, and a fire broke out in the middle of the night."
Speaking of this, Song Chenglin got angry.
The cigarette butt was thrown in a hidden place in the back mountain, obviously with the intention of burning the mountain.
Song Li's face was gloomy. "Let's go to the mountain and take a look."
She was not afraid of the loss of the fruit trees, but she had to catch the arsonist.
......
Wang family.
Zhou Wan got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and bumped into Wang Dali coming back from outside.
Ever since Zhou Wan rebelled against Wang Dali, the two of them stopped sleeping together.
Zhou Wan cleaned up the room where Wang's mother lived before, and she never met Wang Dali except for meals.
Wang Dali also scolded her for a few days in the beginning, but he became obedient after being beaten by Zhou Wan.
This is what a domestic violence man is like. He looks strong but is weak inside and bullies the weak and fears the strong. He won’t dare to provoke you if you are stronger than him.
Wang Dali was holding up his belt, whistling, and looking excited, but when he turned around, he saw Zhou Wan's dark eyes.
He stopped in his tracks suddenly, and was startled.
"What are you doing here? Are you trying to scare me?"
Zhou Wan pursed her lips and ignored him. She knew what kind of person Wang Dali was better than anyone else.
This scum is lazy and loves to steal. He just happened to have an injured leg and slipped out in the middle of the night. He was probably going to look for a lover.
She doesn't care anyway. As long as they don't touch her, Wang Dali can find whoever he wants.
"Go to the toilet."
After Zhou Wan finished speaking, she closed the door and the lights went out instantly.
Wang Dali spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and cursed viciously, "Stinky bitch, I'm going to take care of you sooner or later!"
Zhou Wan became what she is today because of Song Li. That woman is very evil and anyone who comes into contact with her will become bad.
Zhao Fengzhu is a lesson learned, and now Zhou Wan has also changed.
Wang Dali rubbed his sore legs, and he seemed to still feel the pain of Zhou Wan's "massage".
"Just wait, the Song family will be finished tomorrow."
Without the orchard, he wanted to see how Song Li would compensate the food factory for its losses.
......
The grass and trees on the mountain were still green in the summer, so the fire didn't burn much, but more than a dozen acres of vineyards were lost.
Brother Song Chenglin looked at the grape vines that had been burned into black soil, their eyes filled with grief.
"What should we do? The food factory sent people to pick up the grapes today, but now the grapes are gone."
This is not just about money, it also involves cooperation with the food factory.
The Song family’s good days had barely lasted a few days, and now it’s all over.
"Don't worry, you can pick the grapes somewhere else. Second and third brothers, first find someone to find out who set the fire last night."
The grapes in Song Li's space are almost piled up into a mountain. She is not afraid even if the entire vineyard is burned down.
"good!"
The younger sister is their backbone. Song Li has a solution, and Song Chengcai and Song Chenglin can finally put their minds at ease.
Finding the person was also relatively simple. The Song family never made enemies with anyone, and the arsonist was very familiar with the back mountain and was obviously from the village.
As long as the range is locked, the murderer will be easy to find.
The news of the fire on the mountain quickly spread in Daxingtun, and Captain Zhao came over with a group of villagers who came to watch the fun.
"Pear girl, what's going on? Who set the fire?"
Although no one from Captain Zhao's family works in the mountains, he cares about the Song family's orchard more than anyone else.
If the crops are good this year, can we expand the planting area next year and have more people in the village who eat public grain?
Captain Zhao is sincerely working for the welfare of the villagers.
Song Li glanced at the people behind him. Although they were watching the fun, there was no gloating or complacency in their eyes. The arson should have nothing to do with these villagers.
Song Li retracted his gaze and said, "More than ten acres of vineyards were burned clean, but other places are fine."
"Fortunately, the loss wasn't too great."
Captain Zhao nodded thankfully, but he also knew that what the food factory lacked most was grapes.
"How am I going to report this to the food factory? How about I ask the villagers to go to the mountains and look for wild grapes?"
There are a lot of wild fruits in the back mountain, maybe they can fill this gap.
Song Li was grateful that Captain Zhao really cared about the villagers.
"No, I've already asked a friend to buy it. It won't delay the food factory's business."
"That's good, that's good."
Captain Zhao felt relieved when he knew that Song Li had a chance of success.
He and Song Li had the same idea: the arsonist must be found immediately.
They can’t tolerate criminals in Daxingtun!
Zhou Wan bumped into Wang Dali last night. She was afraid that he would kick the door at night, so she didn't dare to sleep much. When she woke up, it was already noon.
The autumn harvest has just ended and there is not much work to do in the fields, so she basically does not go out. It was only when she went to the small vegetable garden to pick vegetables in the afternoon that she learned that the mountain owned by the Song family was on fire.
"You said the fire started last night, and the culprit hasn't been found yet?"
Hearing the aunts talking, Zhou Wan couldn't help but interrupt.
"Yeah, I don't know which damn jealous old Song family member almost burned down all the fruit trees on the mountain."
Zhuangzhuang's mother and Song Li are neighbors. Usually when Song Li makes something delicious, she will ask her two children to bring it to Zhuangzhuang. Now she is scolding Song Li on her behalf.
"How do you know it's jealousy? What if Song Li offended someone?"
Aunt Zhang was sarcastic. Ever since Zhao Fengzhu broke off relations with them, she hated Song Li and would never say anything good about her in public.
But no one agreed with her when she spoke.
Many people in Baoshan Village are indeed jealous of the Song family, but they also know that the Song family cannot be offended.
Didn’t you see that those who went to work in the mountains were all tight-lipped people? They were not selected in the first place. If Song Li heard them talking nonsense again, they would never get any good work in the future.
After Aunt Zhang finished speaking, no one responded, and some even moved away from her after listening.
Aunt Zhang looked embarrassed and couldn't stay any longer.
Everyone in Daxingtun is hysterical and has been bewitched by that damn girl Song Li. Otherwise, why would those who hated her so much before now speak up for her?
Aunt Zhang didn't dare to say anything, so she cursed in her heart, but no one paid any attention to her.
After listening for a while, Zhou Wan roughly understood.
The villagers didn't know who had a grudge against the Song family, but she knew it.
Wang Dali scolded Song Li and the Song family at home every day, and she heard it all.
Before, Wang Dali couldn’t go out because of his leg injury, but now that his leg is healed, it is not difficult for him to take a walk in the mountains.
Moreover, there was a fire on the mountain in the middle of the night. Thinking of Wang Dali coming back stealthily last night, Zhou Wan narrowed her eyes.
The arsonist is definitely related to him!
......
"Comrade Song Li."
Song Li was stopped at the door of her house. She looked at the thin and pretty woman with confusion in her eyes.
"Is Zhou Zhiqing okay?"
Zhou Wan said, "I know who set the fire!"
