The people living in the courtyard are all ordinary people. They don’t have much hatred towards the Sun family and will not deliberately go and make reports. They are too busy watching the Sun family’s drama every day.
That night, He Ruixue was sleeping and could hear the constant noise in the alley from across the alley.
She put on her clothes and went out, only to see flames rising into the sky from the yard where her eldest brother was. The brightness illuminated the sky for half the day. People in the surrounding yards were alarmed and ran to put out the fire with basins and buckets of water.
The sound of burning wood and the sound of houses collapsing mixed together, and the fire gradually went out. Fortunately, the fire did not continue to spread. It only burned a few houses of the Sun family, including the firewood room next to it, which is why it burned so thoroughly.
The security department rushed over, checked the room, and came out with a sad tone, saying, "There's a dead person inside. It seems that he was hit on the leg by a beam while trying to escape, and he was choked to death by the smoke."
Everyone in the yard gasped. Those who were brave enough looked inside and found Old Man Sun lying on the ground with one leg pressed under the beam, and half of his body was burned black.
Zhou Erya escaped holding Sun Jinbao. Her throat was damaged by the smoke and she opened her mouth and shouted a few times with difficulty.
Then he turned around in great grief and anger, and like a madman, he took a bamboo pole from someone's yard and whipped Sun Laiyi fiercely. His eyes were red, and he looked like he wanted to whip her to death.
Of course Sun Laiyi wouldn't just stay there and wait to be beaten by her. He circled around the crowd. Zhou Erya was stopped and everyone was trying to persuade her, "What are you doing? Old Sun is dead because of bad luck. Can you bring him back to life by beating the girl to death?"
Zhou Erya stood still, tears welling up in her cloudy eyes. Her voice quacked like an old duck, "It's not that my husband has a bad fate, it's that he's cursed by this damn thing! Ever since she became Sun Laiyi, Old Sun has lost his job, all the family money has been lost, and neither her husband nor her children survived.
Now even Old Sun’s life is in danger, and next time, it will be my turn as mother and I.”
Every word was heart-wrenching and every cry was tearful. Her grief and despair at this moment were real.
Without their pillar of support, how will these orphans and widows survive in the future?
Suddenly, Zhou Erya put down the bamboo pole and stretched out her hand to strangle Sun Laiyi's neck, looking as ferocious as a ghost. "I'm going to kill you today. At worst, we'll die together. Once you're dead, Jinbao will be safe."
