Lin Jinxiu held Ning'er in one hand, leaned her head on Aunt Li's body, and her eyes fell on Aunt Li's arms.

Fortunately, Lele was not hurt in any way, he didn't know what was going on around him with his eyes open, and he grinned sweetly after seeing Lin Jinxiu.

Lin Jinxiu looked at her child who was ignorant of the world, obviously her brows were still wrinkled, but the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile.

That wry smile is placed on this dusty face, and a casual glance can make people's hearts ache.

She had never been so sad.

For them, this fire not only burned down their property, but also cut off their way to survive, and the day when they would repay Cui Shao's money was coming soon, and the money was still more than a fraction away.

With the personalities of Aunt Li and Ning Er, who had to take out the crumbs of the fine wood and trample it with their feet if there was a little spark in the stove, this fire was definitely not caused by their negligence.

So who would have planted this fire?

Anyone is possible.

The creditor Cui Shao, the neighbors who are jealous of their good business, and even the murderer are likely to be mixed in with the crowd of onlookers now...... It's possible for all.

Among them, Cui Shao is the most suspicious, because the time of the fire is very coincidental, just two days before they are about to repay the money, when they are about to get together the silver.

Thinking of this, Lin Jinxiu shook her head again, although she hated Cui Shao to the bone, she couldn't slander him because of this hatred.

After all, I still blame myself for being negligent!

Crying and crying, sad and sad, an indescribable anger rose from Lin Jinxiu's heart, she hated herself for not taking a good look at this store, hating why she stayed in the space for so long.

Now is not the modern society that Lin Jinxiu is familiar with, without high-tech investigation and clues, it is useless to find evidence and even report to the official.

Lin Jinxiu comforted the grandparents and grandchildren who were crying on her, and forced themselves to calm down in their minds, now that the grandparents and grandchildren regard themselves as backers, Lin Jinxiu could only hold back crying first, thinking about whether there was any other way.

patting the two of them on the shoulder soothingly, Lin Jinxiu stood up and walked into the shop that was destroyed by the fire.

The blackened beams fell down to block the way, and they were shattered with a single step. Lin Jinxiu noticed that the inner core of the beam had not been completely extinguished, and hurriedly stepped on the fire extinguishing star a few times.

The stove was mixed with all the black filth of the ingredients, except for the iron pot that had been dumped and buried in a cloud of ashes, and a little red, apparently unusable.

The door to the backyard was already brittle, and with a slight push, it broke in the middle, smashing on the ground and stirring up a cloud of black ash.

"Ahem, ahem!" This black ash choked Lin Jinxiu to cover his mouth and nose, and the cat bent out of the deformed back door.

The backyard was also a mess, a piece of blackened wall soil rolled to Lin Jinxiu's feet, and when she looked up, even the house where she was sleeping was half collapsed.

Lin Jinxiu struggled to dig out the small package he had carried when he came with Lele from the ruins, and pulled out a blackened and deformed handkerchief from the broken cloth.

The embroidery in the middle of this handkerchief is very complete, and the two lifelike birds are beautifully embroidered, but Lin Jinxiu can't recognize what kind of bird it is.

However, the note that Zhang Lin gave to Lin Jinxiu was not so lucky, it became a small pile of gray-black debris, and Lin Jinxiu couldn't even be sure if it was the note that Zhang Lin gave her that recorded the location.

Sitting on the only remaining well platform, Lin Jinxiu glanced at the mess in front of her and sighed softly.

Even the account book is only half a book left, but fortunately, Lin Jinxiu knows it in his heart, so he doesn't need to recalculate it.

"Sister Lin! Someone is looking for it outside! Ning'er's voice came from outside, attracting Lin Jinxiu's sideways.

He had nothing to take with him, but he tucked the charred handkerchief into his belt and re-entered the black shop, and walked through the main entrance with his feet in ashes, leaving two black footprints on the ground at the door.

There was a home-like person standing at the door, looking Lin Jinxiu up and down.

"What's the matter?" Lin Jinxiu rubbed her feet on the ground and stood in a clean place.

The family Ding stood in place and stared at Lin Jinxiu: "My young master heard that there was a fire here, so he sent me to take a look." ”

His gaze shifted from Lin Jinxiu to Ning Er, and finally swept lightly over Aunt Li's face: "Since there is no death, then the young master is relieved." ”

Although this Ding said so, the expression on his face was disdainful: "Hurry up and save money, let the young master wait for your good fruits to eat." There are really many poor people. ”

"What did you say?" Ning Er was originally sitting next to her and listening, but when she heard this, she jumped up directly.

"Ning'er, don't say it." Lin Jinxiu interrupted Ning'er.

The family glanced at Lin Jinxiu, didn't say anything, turned around and left.

Before he had taken a few steps, a small, half-burned piece of paper emerged from the crack in his belt and slid to the ground, silently.

"Sure enough, the Cui family doesn't have a good thing!" Ning Er stomped her feet on the side, "Sister Lin, why don't you let me scold her!" ”

Lin Jinxiu didn't answer Ning'er's words, she walked to the place where the family had fallen the ashes, picked up the small piece of paper, and snorted coldly: "Sure enough, what kind of person can raise what kind of dog." ”

With a flick of his fingertips, the small piece of paper spun in the air and a few more flowers fell to the ground, and was stepped into the charred ashes, and disappeared without a trace.

Lin Jinxiu was already completely sure that this fire was set by Cui Shao, and the small pieces of paper that flew down from Ding's body already explained everything.

He said that Cui Shao heard the news and sent him to check, but why was there a half-burned piece of paper on his body?

Could it be that his Cui family was also burning things when the shop was on fire? Lin Jinxiu didn't believe it.

As for why this piece of paper was on that family, I'm afraid it was because he was too anxious when he turned around and ran away after lighting the fire, and the wind brought up flew the small piece of paper into his clothes, otherwise how could they leave such a low-level flaw with their experience in doing many evils?

When she walked back to Aunt Li and Ning Er, Aunt Li took Lin Jinxiu's hand and looked sad: "Sister Xiu'er, what should I do now." ”

Ning Er lowered her head and wept on the side, not saying a word.

"There's always a way." Lin Jinxiu said.

"Things have come to this point, and there is no way back." Aunt Li's eyes were full of despair, as if she was very open, "Otherwise, Sister Xiu'er, you should leave the ...... now."

"Auntie!" Lin Jinxiu didn't expect that at such a time, the eldest mother would want her to leave.

Lin Jinxiu knew what Aunt Li and the others thought.

If it was before, they believed that Lin Jinxiu would take them to repay the money, so they decided to follow Lin Jinxiu's wish and let her stay and make money with them.

However, at this time, the ancestors and grandchildren who were already in the four walls of the family had nothing, and they had already recognized the fate of the Cui family, in this case, they would never be able to bring Lin Jinxiu in.

"Auntie, it's come to this point, don't say such stupid things anymore, okay?" She squeezed Aunt Li's hand and squeezed it very tightly.

"Auntie, do you think I just left here, he Cui Shao, can their Cui family let me go?" Lin Jinxiu's face has lost the pleasant look that coaxed them before, "Auntie, I'll just say it." I won't go, not only will I not go, but I will help you solve this matter, not only will I solve this matter, but I will also gain a foothold in this county, auntie, do you understand? ”

Aunt Li was stunned by what Lin Jinxiu said.

She is a woman, she doesn't think much, she just wants Lin Jinxiu to be safe.

"If I run away now, don't say whether I can live elsewhere in the future, do you think my conscience is acceptable?" Lin Jinxiu frowned, and inevitably cried.

"Auntie, are you willing to let me live with guilt for the rest of my life?" Lin Jinxiu put her hand on her heart, "I'm sad, auntie, I'm really sad......"

Aunt Li realized that during this time, she only paid attention to Lin Jinxiu's personal safety, but she didn't expect what kind of turmoil her heart would have. If Lin Jinxiu feels guilty for a lifetime because of the two of them, for Lin Jinxiu, I am afraid that death will not be able to catch up with the torture.

"Help me watch Lele." Lin Jinxiu took another deep breath to hold back the desire to cry, turned around, and breathed hard with the burnt smell in the air that had not yet dissipated, "I'll find a way." In any case, we're going to get all the money left! ”

At the same time, the Shen family's kitchen.

In the steaming oil pan, the golden oil was still tumbling, but no one turned off the fire, and it looked like something delicious had just been made.

The whole kitchen is filled with the smell of corn and the sweet smell of freshly made pasta.

Ten eyes stared timidly at a freshly boiled, oily pancake.

The pancake was picked up by a pair of chopsticks, and a drop of oil was pressed out and dripped into the snow-white plate, which made a semicircle in the air, and was sucked in by a greasy mouth, and swallowed after a rough chew.

"It's all rubbish!"

The chopsticks were slammed into the white plate, and they fell to the ground with a high flick.

A few timid cooks around were almost so frightened by the sound that they peed their pants, but they didn't dare to make a sound, and they huddled together tremblingly.

Shen Erpang slapped the table vigorously, and the baked cakes that had not been fully swallowed in his mouth sprayed everywhere: "My Shen family has spent so much money cultivating you, you are at this level?" ”

His fierce gaze swept over the earth-colored faces in front of him: "A corn tortilla, huh? It's just a tacos! What you make is not as delicious as the little girl of the Sun family! What do you eat! Yes? ”

The continuous banging sound of the table made the hearts of those cooks almost fly out, and one of them swallowed his saliva vigorously: "Less, young master, there must be a mystery in that girl's tortillas, we, we really can't do anything!" ”

"You're stupid! A bunch of idiots! When Shen Erfat heard that this cook still dared to fight back, he was furious, took him out and pointed at his nose and scolded, "What secret recipe can a little girl have?" Why don't you get me a secret recipe too? ”

The cook was grabbed by the collar, and he was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat and only knew that he was trembling and shouting for mercy, for fear that Shen Erfat's fingers pointing at him and scolding him would turn into fists in the next second, imprinted on his nose.

"Young Master! Master! A voice came from far and near, and the housekeeper who was often sent out to buy baked cakes by Shen Erfat gasped and rushed into the kitchen, "Young master! Oh no! That Sun Ji baked cake house is on fire! Everything is burned out! ”

"What?" Shen Erpang seemed to have heard some earth-shattering news, "It's burned?" ”
