The wheat fields were burned, and when they heard that the fire was ignited by Wu Dade's field, and it was related to his son Wu Mingming, they instantly became crowded.

Those villagers who had nothing to do with themselves also gathered to find out.

"Dade, you have to compensate for the loss of our land......"

"That's it, all four acres of my family's land have been burned down, and there is no harvest, how can you let our family live!"

“......”

Wu Dade and his wife have not yet understood, how this magnifying glass can burn the ants, the villagers have already attacked them in groups, if they don't refute it, this basin will really be deducted on their heads.

Wu Dade's daughter-in-law, Ma Qiuju, hurriedly wiped away her tears, stood up and shouted: "What are you arguing about? Why do you want our family to compensate? Our family's wheat has also been burned, who will compensate us!"

This Wu Dade is Wu Xiaoyu's own brother, Wang Aifeng is naturally not good at adding fuel to the fire at this time, just standing aside, but the rest of the family is not easy to deal with.

The men are not easy to speak for the sake of face, but these women have no scruples, how can their wheat be burned in vain?

"This fire was lit by your son, who will you compensate if you don't compensate?" a daughter-in-law of the Liu family retorted.

A total of eight families were burned in this wheat field, in addition to the two households of their own family, there were also two households of the Li family, and the remaining four households were all from the Liu family.

As soon as the daughter-in-law of the Liu family opened her mouth, her concubines and aunts also added fuel and vinegar and said: "The police have said that your family set the fire, how can you deny it?"

The main responsibility of the township and town police is to resolve the contradictions and mediate the disputes, and although the cause of the fire has been basically investigated, the conclusion has not yet been reached, and the villagers are already arguing.

Director Liu hurriedly persuaded: "The big guys are quiet first, listen to me......"

"The cause of this fire has been basically investigated, and compensation is naturally indispensable, but it's just that you are so noisy, it's not a thing!"

"How to compensate for the specific situation, we still have to discuss it calmly, what problems can you solve if you continue to quarrel like this?"

Director Liu's words were originally intended to appease the villagers and make them stop arguing, but when Ma Xiuqiuju heard this, she became more and more angry.

Ma Qiuju asked, "What do you mean by this, why do you want our family to compensate?"

"We didn't set this fire! If it starts burning in our house, we will make our family pay for it?"

Wu Dade saw his daughter-in-law yelling at the police, and hurriedly pulled her and signaled her to shut up, but instead of listening, she became even more energetic, and said angrily:

"You policemen, you're too good at handling errands, aren't you? Pick up a magnifying glass on the road and say that the investigation is clear, and let us compensate?"

Without waiting for Director Liu to refute, several daughters-in-law of the Liu family were filled with righteous indignation and said, "Can the police still wronged you?"

Director Liu, who has worked at the grassroots level for so long, knew that the education level of the villagers was not particularly high, so he hurriedly interrupted a few women and said, "We will definitely not cope with the errand!"

"This magnifying glass is made of a convex lens, the convex lens has the property of concentrating light and heat, and if it is placed under the sun, after a period of time, it can ignite flammable materials, so your son is used to burn ants!"

Several women of the Liu family and the Li family, after listening to the explanation of the police, became more and more fearless, and said, "Listen...... Listen, it's your house that is obviously burning, who will pay if you don't ask for compensation?"

Ma Qiuju heard her son say that she was going to burn ants just now, and she already suspected that the cause of the fire was her own little beast.

Now that she has listened to the police's explanation, she is even more convinced that this fire is a good thing that her little brute has done, but if she admits it, she will have to compensate others for food.

With so much food, how can they compensate for it, so they have to pretend to be stupid and mess around: "Even if this magnifying glass can ignite the fire, how can you be sure that the fire was ignited by the magnifying glass?"

When several women heard this, they wanted to retort, but they saw Director Liu continue to explain: "These two comrades are in charge of the investigation of the fire, and now it has been determined, and the fire point is where the magnifying glass was found, so this fire was indeed accidentally ignited by your son!"

The police have already asserted this, Ma Qiuju is naturally speechless, and she doesn't know where to start if she wants to refute it.

Several daughters-in-law of the Liu family shouted again: "You will admit that you are done, everyone is a fellow villager, and they can still slander you!"

When Ma Qiuju heard this, tears poured out again, how can he compensate for so many crops! This bastard thing, what's wrong to play, go and play with fire, or in this field!

Anger, grievance, panic, helplessness...... Countless emotions lingered in her heart, how could she give birth to such a bastard, Ma Qiuju turned around and kicked towards Wu Mingming's body.

Wu Mingming was more than five years old, and when he saw his mother being besieged by several women, he was already terrified, and now his mother suddenly kicked him again, and he immediately began to cry.

Wu Dade hurriedly pulled him behind him and said, "What are you doing beating the child? Things are already like this, what's the use of you beating him?"

"This troublemaker, I'll kill him......" Ma Qiuju cried and scolded.

Seeing this scene, several daughters-in-law of the Liu family and the Li family naturally couldn't blindly ask for compensation anymore, and they stood by and watched.

When the village chief Niu Mansheng saw that a few people were no longer noisy, he stood up again and persuaded: "Let's disperse...... Scatter! Harvest the crops, what are you doing here!"

After the last few quarrels in the village, Niu Mansheng's authority has dropped a lot, but after all, he is still the leader of the Niu family, and his words are still very effective in the Niu family.

Moreover, the fire did not reach the fields of the Niu family, and the people surnamed Niu soon dispersed, and the rest of the people went back to their fields to collect wheat in groups of three or five.

Only the Liu family and the Li family were left behind, and they were all around Wu Dade and his wife, and Director Liu saw that they were no longer arguing and wanted to help mediate the matter of compensation, but they were persuaded away by the village chief.

As for Wu Mingming, who was beaten, he had also been taken away by Wang Aifeng, and a daughter-in-law of the Li family said:

"Sister-in-law Qiu Ju, our family has a total of two acres of land here, you can compensate us according to 700 catties of wheat per acre!"

As soon as her words fell, the rest of the families also spoke, and the Liu family even offered a price of 1,000 catties per mu of land.

You must know that the land in Daxin Village is not fertile, and the yield per mu is already high, and several families of the Liu family actually asked for 1,000 catties of wheat per mu, which is already considered to be a robbery while the fire is burning.
