An Wanwan spoke earnestly, and towards the end, whether it was because her pregnancy made her emotions more volatile or because she was moved by her own words, tears welled up in her eyes and fell one by one.
"Wanwan..."
An Miaomiao felt a pang of sadness in her heart; she couldn't have felt any worse.
The villagers who had been questioned earlier all fell silent.
Some of the women were so moved that they cried.
An Ke stepped forward and patted An Wanwan's head: "Alright, alright, don't cry. You still have us! Others may not like the baby in your belly, but our family does. After it's born, Third Brother will help you take care of it."
When someone has been holding on for too long, it's hard to bear being suddenly warmed by someone else.
An Wanwan cried even harder.
An Miaomiao had never seen her cry like this before, and she was frightened: "Wanwan, Wanwan, don't cry. If anyone dares to talk nonsense again, I will be the first to not forgive them. I will protect you even if it costs me my life."
"Wanwan, you're pregnant, don't cry."
Several women came over to comfort them.
An Wanwan stopped crying after a while. She wiped away her tears, thanked everyone, and then walked home with An Miaomiao and the others.
When I got home, all I saw was ruins, and it was dark everywhere.
The wall has cracked and collapsed.
Apart from a few unburnt main beams, everything else in the house has been burned to ashes; there's nothing left.
They split up and looked around.
Not long after.
An Wanwan made a discovery: "It smells like tung oil. Someone used tung oil to burn down our house."
"I could smell it too."
"Don't let me find out, or I'll kill him!"
An Miaomiao was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.
They visited each house and found that no one knew their house had burned down the night before. This was partly because their house was far from the others, and partly because everyone had slept soundly the night before.
There were no clues at all in the village.
An Wanwan then decided to go to town to investigate, as burning down all their houses would require a lot of tung oil.
If someone recently bought a lot of tung oil and is an acquaintance, then that person is very likely the one who burned down their house.
However.
They went to various shops that sell tung oil and asked, and they all said that no one has been buying large quantities of tung oil recently.
An Miaomiao frowned: "How could this be? Could it be that they were bought separately?"
They went to ask again.
But these shops have people buying tung oil every day, so how could they remember what the people who buy their tung oil look like?
The trail went cold.
An Miaomiao was furious: "Wanwan, Third Brother, what do we do now? Are we just going to give up like this?"
"Report it to the police!"
An Wanwan certainly wouldn't let it go so easily, but since they couldn't find out anything now, she simply handed it over to the authorities to investigate.
If the officials can't find out either, then she can only wait.
Let's see if that person will make another move.
An Miaomiao and the others had no objections, so they went to the yamen to report the case.
result.
Just as An Wanwan had predicted,
The officials in charge of the government were unable to find the arsonist.
Su Yueniang couldn't help but feel a little scared: "Wanwan, it's because we all live in town. If we had lived at home, would we have been burned together too...?"
An Wanwan shook her head.
“Mother, I don’t think the arsonist would be that bold. This person must have found out we weren’t home before setting the fire. Their purpose was just to get revenge on us.”
Who could be the person who would retaliate against them?
They have offended many people, and even those they suspect are not sure who they are.
not to mention.
The officials went to inquire, but Xia and her family denied it, saying they had already gone to sleep.
There is no evidence.
They were also helpless against these people.
Anshi spoke up: "I think so too."
Anke said from the side, "Our house burned down, does that mean we won't go back to live in the village anymore?"
