30. A void
When it was found the next day, the house had burned down, and all that was left was black ash in the clearing, and the wind blew up a piece of choking and choking.
When everyone in the Li family got the news, they didn't believe it was a prank at first, but as more and more people said this, the old man believed it, and no one would be so bored and colluded with so many people to lie, and rushed to the new house with everyone in the Li family.
The cruel reality told them that everything was true, Wang directly collapsed on the ground and wailed, everyone's faces were not good-looking, especially Li Cheng and Li Ping, this was originally their new house, but now it was all gone.
"This must be man-made, the house will not burn down for no reason, grandpa, let's go to the police and catch this person who set the fire." Li Cheng was indignant, he and Jie'er lived there without a house.
"It's impossible, who in the township will do this, and our family has no enmity with anyone." Li Gui muttered, although there were some bumps and bumps with the people in the village, but they were all trivial things, and there was no deep hatred and hatred, and the house would not be burned.
"Then how to explain this, there is no one living in the house, it can't be burned from the inside, there was nothing wrong last night, the fire must have started in the middle of the night, how could it be so coincidental." Li Cheng has read the book and has some brains, and feels that things are a little strange.
"Report to the official, my father must report to the official, our family can't lose a house in vain, catch someone and ask him to pay us money, and then arrest him and go to jail." Li Fu said.
"Whoever wants to burn down our house will not die well, the whole family is restless, with sores on the top of the head and pus on the soles of the feet." Zhang scolded at the crowd of onlookers.
The villagers all came to see the fun, but they were scolded by Zhang's like this, and someone immediately pushed back.
"Big sister, this house was built by the third child of your family, when did it become yours, it's really shameless."
"Yo, Aunt Wang, you don't know yet, I heard that this house was robbed by the Li family's big house, and it was said that it was going to be a new house for the future Xiucai."
"I heard about this, and the old man of their family didn't object, and he was still helping on the side."
"This is too partial, how can my son do this, I heard that these three rooms are still borrowed money to build a house, so who will pay back this money."
"Who else can there be, it must be Li Qi back, I heard that the family was separated at the beginning, it was because Li Qi lent money to his daughter to see a doctor, and the old man didn't want to come out, so he divided the three rooms."
"I heard that the child was beaten by an old lady, and he almost died."
"This old lady is ruthless, she doesn't treat her granddaughter as a person, and she doesn't want to think that she is also a woman, and she will definitely suffer retribution in the future."
"This father and mother are too ruthless, no wonder the house burned, it must be that God is not used to seeing it and getting angry."
"That's it, if anyone marries in, they can't be tortured to death, and this old man still asks his daughter-in-law to go back to her parents' house to borrow money."
Lin Xue hid behind Li Qi and laughed silently, everyone's public opinion fell to their side, this house was too worth burning.
The old man blushed angrily, his life of innocence was ruined, and he didn't care what others said, and went back with his family in disgrace.
Wang was carried back by his son, the blow was too big and he fainted, Li Qi wanted to ask a doctor and was stopped by the old man, anyway, it's not a big deal, just sleep.
The matter of reporting to the official was stopped by the old man, in fact, the old man also felt that this was retribution, otherwise why would the house be burned as soon as the house was divided. Sitting on the kang and sighing, this person can't be too greedy.
"Grandpa, what about my new house, there are still five days before Jie'er enters the door." Li Cheng is on fire, and he went there to find a house in such a short time, and it was too late to build it.
"Dad, or use the original one." Zhang said shamelessly.
"Sister-in-law, then you let our family live there." Lin Xue asked.
"Then I don't care, my father said a long time ago to give you that room, and you agreed to it at the beginning." Zhang gave Li Cheng a look.
Li Cheng understood, and immediately knelt in front of Li Qi, "Third uncle, nephew, please let go of the house, the third uncle will definitely be able to find a place to live if he has such a way, and when the nephew has a chance in the future, he will definitely repay your great kindness."
Li Qi stood there, wanting to lose his temper but couldn't do it, Xiaoxue was right, this was not family at all, it was locusts and vampires.
"Li Cheng, you get up first, let's talk about it, I can't afford you like this."
"Third uncle, if you don't agree, I won't get up until I kneel to death." Li Cheng thought that Li Qi had relented, and added another fire.
"Then you can kneel, let's go back to the house, there is still life in the field." Lin Xue called Li Qi and walked out, kneeling to death and not caring about her.
"Third brother and sister, why are you so ruthless, Cheng'er begged you like this, but you didn't agree, you wanted to force him to death." Zhang rushed over and pulled Lin Xue to prevent him from leaving.
Lin Xue broke Zhang's hand and rubbed her arm, "Sister-in-law, who is ruthless, the new house we built was taken away by you, and now that the house is gone, you want to force us to death." ”
"That's what my mother wanted, not me, and my father also gave you silver, so you just need to build a new building." Zhang didn't care about the Dao.
Lin Xue sneered, "Sister-in-law, what you said is light, you don't know what the silver is for, don't treat everyone as a fool." ”
"Third aunt, do you agree to this matter?" Li Qi was angry, since he had been studying, he had never knelt down except for his master, and because of the old man's preference at home, he had always looked down on Sanfang.
This couldn't stand it, Lin Xue squatted down and stared at Li Cheng, "You are still a scholar, and you don't even want any face, don't you feel sorry for your third uncle in this way." ”
Li Cheng turned his face away, didn't dare to look at Lin Xue's eyes, and stood up from the ground silently.
"Why do you say that my son, you are sorry, your whole family is sorry." Zhang raised his hand to greet Lin Xue's face, his long nails glowing with cold light.
Lin Xue raised her hand to block it, three blood marks appeared on her hand, Lin Xue was furious that the old lady couldn't fight back, but she Zhang was something, and she dared to do something with her, so she waved her right hand and slapped Zhang without thinking about it.
Zhang's whole body rushed over in pain, Lin Xue's footsteps flashed, and Zhang's fat body threw himself on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
Li Qi brought water to clean Lin Xue's wounds, turned a blind eye to Zhang's lying on the ground, and the others didn't help, leaving her to lie on the ground.
Lin Xue cleaned up her wounds and looked at the old man, "Dad, we won't let this house go, as for Li Cheng's new house, you can find another way, time is running out." ”
