Even the educated youth who did not live in those dormitories were very emotional. Although their food was not burned, the kitchen utensils and seasonings were bought by everyone together, and now there is nothing left.
The four newly arrived educated youth became living targets for everyone to vent their emotions. They didn't catch fire earlier or later, but just when they arrived. And they were the ones who died in the end.
The emotional old educated youths denounced the four new educated youths one by one, and even unanimously demanded compensation from them.
Wang Jingqiu didn't expect that the fire would burn her, and she quickly explained that she had never been to the kitchen. However, everyone was very excited and believed that they were the cause of the fire, and no one would listen to her explanation.
The team leader and the village party secretary tried to appease everyone but to no avail.
Zhou Shikang yelled, "Enough, shut up!"
Since no one is capable of handling this matter now, let's report it to the police.
If the police came to the scene and investigated, they would have determined that the fire was caused by a kerosene lamp.
Even though that broken kerosene lamp had nothing to do with me, I was so unlucky that I forgot to breathe on it before leaving. As long as it is confirmed that the fire was caused by the kerosene lamp, I will compensate everyone for their losses.
But if this fire has nothing to do with that broken kerosene lamp, then tonight, every one of you who has blamed me must apologize to me.
Don't think that because it's dark, I don't remember who is here.
And from now on, no one is allowed near the kitchen."
In fact, the kitchen was burned into such a terrible state, Zhou Shikang didn't know if he could find out the truth, but he was wrongly accused and forced to this point, so he had to be brave enough.
A male educated youth said, "Huh, you are really calculating. Reporting to the police is a matter of tomorrow, and the police may not be able to find out immediately.
But now everything we wear, use and eat has been destroyed. Do you want us to freeze to death or starve to death in this snow and ice before the police can find out the truth?
I don't care what the truth is, I just know that all the rumors are pointing to you, and you must compensate us for our losses, otherwise no one will be able to escape unscathed."
The captain is also worried. He can use the emergency food in the brigade to slow down the process. After finding out the truth and paying the compensation, he can fill the gap.
But who doesn't have extra mattresses, quilts, and cotton clothes? You can't really let people freeze to death, right?
Zhou Shikang was also furious, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? I've already said, if it was caused by the kerosene lamp, I'll compensate you according to the price.
But now that you have spoken to me, you conclude that it was caused by me not blowing out the lamp?
If you are so good at judging, why don't you become the King of Hell? " This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
