Chapter 127: On Fire
From the Chinese New Year to the present, the business in the family can be said to be smooth. Shun until Huo Lu himself floated away, and his style of speaking and acting was completely different from before. Even if you play mahjong with your poker friends, you dare to laugh at others for being stingy, slamming the door, and can't afford to lose.
When something like this happened at home, Huo Lu didn't even think about himself. He thinks it's just a dry day: "It must be someone in his family who came out to the toilet, smoked and threw cigarette butts on our firewood stack." Otherwise, how could his family be so coincidental and find out all at once?"
Huo Lu insisted on suspecting that the next-door neighbor did it, although he couldn't find the real murderer, but no matter what he thought, it was their thief who shouted to catch the thief.
Li Cuilian now sees that her son is quite promising, which is Huo Lu's attitude of whatever he says. Huo Dagui didn't have a clue in his head, but he didn't dare to doubt his neighbors easily. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and if the two families fall apart because of something unnecessary, it is really not worth it.
During the day, Kou Xi met Wang Yazhi who came to deliver the goods at work, and Wang Yazhi looked at Kou Xi with a gossipy face: "Last night, your firewood stack caught fire, what the hell is going on?"
Kou Xi glanced at his cousin angrily, and muttered, "Who are you asking? Where do I know what's going on?" I also slept in a daze, and I heard a lot of noise outside. It was my sister-in-law who woke me up, saying that it was red outside, as if it was on fire. I put on my clothes and went out to see how many people were in the yard. Some of them took pots, some of them carried buckets, and they poured firewood there. ”
Wang Yazhi looked at Kou Xi's colleagues, thought for a while, and whispered in her ear: "I heard that this matter is related to your little brother-in-law!"
Kou Xi was stunned: "Won't he? Recently, he went out to play with money again? If he doesn't pay back the money, let people take revenge?"
Wang Yazhi glared: "You are a dead brain, I didn't say it was because of this." ”
Kou Xi was curious: "What's the reason for that?"
"Your brother-in-law is terrible now, driving a tricycle out all day long. It's okay to tease the little widow of whom, the old girl of whom's family who is not married. I heard that it seems that because of this, I don't know whose family I offended, so I set a fire in the firewood stack of your house in anger!"
Kou Xi held back for a long time, and sighed speechlessly: "My mother, it's really amazing, I'm really convinced." ”
"What?" Wang Yazhi looked funny: "Why are you talking like this!"
"That little uncle of our family, does he look like that? Are you embarrassed to hook up?" Although Huo Lu is not as fierce and scary as Huo An, he is not very good. I don't know why the genes of the Huo family are so peculiar, none of the brothers and sisters are white and pure.
Horu is not very tall, and his dark skin is now exposed to the sun every day, and his cheeks are turned plateau red. Wearing a dogskin hat, the whole person is rustic.
People don't have any scheming, and being honest outside is always bullied. In the head nest of the family, a pair of virtues of the eldest and my second. Usually the only hobby is to play money and gamble, and later with Song Jiangang, he contracted a problem of alcoholism, and the amount of alcohol is not high.
"He doesn't have any money, whose little widow can take care of him" Kou Xi couldn't figure it out, which one of the heartless people would take care of him.
"You know if people have money or not!" Wang Yazhi glanced at Kou Xi: "You look very good every day, but you are actually stupid." Your husband has no money, you have no money, you have no money to build a house when you get married. Now he has money to buy a three-wheeled car for his youngest son? What are you capable of? Why don't you make a fuss with it!"
Kou Xi said: "I didn't expect this, and now the three-wheeled ones are not cheap." I heard that the three wheels cost at least four or five thousand yuan, and you said that it would be better for us to buy a small house with this money and let us go out too much. ”
"It's four or five thousand yuan, how can it be so cheap. At least seven or eight thousand!" Wang Yazhi's tone was very exaggerated, and she couldn't wait to pinch Kou Xi's face to wake her up.
"That's not it, seven or eight thousand that's not enough. Kou Xi smiled: "Seven or eight thousand yuan to buy a three-wheeled one, what a big head." Besides, my father-in-law has a little money, but he doesn't have so much. ”
"Anyway, it's his business how much money he loves, and it's not okay to be so eccentric. Wang Yazhi looked like she hated iron and steel, and said angrily: "Are you still thinking about earning money to buy a house?
When Kou Xi heard this, he suddenly laughed and whispered to Wang Yazhi: "You have a lot of money in your hands now, and your family still lives in an earthen house." Not to mention when to build a new house, it has to be a big brick house!"
Wang Yazhi waved her hand: "Come on, the wealth will not be exposed." Our family's house is very good now, and the kang is hot as soon as it burns, so we don't think about building a house first. Earn more money, and then say, the wealth can't be exposed. Now how many people come to inquire about what our little fish do, we all say that it is not too much money to make some money. If we really make so much money, and the family doesn't eat something good, and the house is not repaired? When they see that our house is still the same as before, they won't say anything. ”
She raised her eyebrows and quipped: "We all said that we were working for you, and we would take our own entire manual fee from you." I don't dare to say it if there are more, anyway, the big guys know that your father is rich and you are rich. ”
Kou Xi was speechless: "You are ......"
"What's the picture?" Wang Yazhi had a clear expression: "I guess you have to ask that! You have always had the best food and clothing since you were a child, and you are used to people saying that your old Kou family is rich, and your old Kou family is willing to spend money on your daughter." Sister, how many years has our family been poor? All of a sudden, how many relatives have to come and borrow money. This money is the hard-earned money that my brother-in-law and I have earned by steaming dried fish day and night, you can smell the fishy smell on my body!"
Wang Yazhi pulled her clothes and said angrily: "You said that they are all relatives, if you borrow this, you have to borrow that, and if you help this, you can't ignore that." I simply said that I don't have any money, so I will save money with your brother-in-law for the children to go to school in the future. We still don't buy good clothes, we don't buy good food, and we don't let our children know how much money we have. Let's live like this!"
On the other hand, Horu, the pockets of the parents at the head of the family are almost dry. He also pretends to be wide and swaggering, and wants to hook up with women with a three-wheeled car. This swelling is incredible!
Kou Xi suddenly thought of Zhang Yao, Huo Lu had the same virtue as this half-sister. I don't know who I am when I have some money, and I start to be arrogant before I can do anything.
And Huo Lu was able to set himself on fire because of his indiscretion and almost burned his family to death. Kou Xi pondered the reliability of this news, whether he could tell Huo Dagui.
But I didn't expect that the really annoying and outrageous things were still to come. And the person who really set the fire, and the reason for his arson, was also beyond everyone's expectations.
