”Hurry up and come over here. Let's just hide behind this thatched cottage and roast the eggs while there's no one around for Second Aunt today.” Jiro urged.

”Hey, got it, Second Brother. I'll go get the fire piston later. Wait for me here.” He ran back to his own house.

In the past, just to be safe, they had obtained bird eggs or something like that. Normally, they would roast them on the mountain, which could be considered an accident this time. Since they couldn't be bothered to go up to the mountain to roast the eggs, the two gluttonous kids decided to roast the eggs at the back of Tian Yuqiao's house.

He had wanted to go to the woodshed to fetch some of the firewood, but instead said, ”Isn't Second Aunt's roof full of thatch? It's already ready, you can just grab a handful and it'll be fine.”

These two scumbags had already turned the small cottage that the Tian Yu Qiao family had gone through so much trouble into an outrageous state.

In addition to the thatch on the roof being pulled off, even several pieces of thatch that had blocked the cracks in the wall had been pulled off.

The two brothers didn't care at all, immediately starting to light the fire.

Soon, the fire was ignited. The two of them gathered together the fire while at the same time, they used wooden sticks to pick up the bird eggs. Very soon, the bird egg was roasted until cracks appeared. Following the sound of an explosion, the fragrant aroma pervaded the air, causing the two of them to become extremely greedy.

Jiro sniffed his nose and looked at the tiny egg. He couldn't wait to eat it.

The two of them hastily ate the still hot eggs. Each of them had two eggs to share, as if they were still eating.

After eating, he casually picked at the grass, wiped his mouth, and ran out to play.

The autumn wind was strong, and the sparks on the ground quickly reached the roof of Tian Yuqiao's thatched cottage. In addition, it hadn't rained since the beginning of autumn.

Soon the fire was up, crackling.

When the people of the old residence discovered this, Tian Yuqiao's house was already burnt down to two walls. Even the half of the west wing was affected and a large area of the house was burnt black.

Fortunately, the wall of the west wing was made of earth, and there wasn't much inflammable thatch inside. The roof was also made of tile, so the losses weren't that great. Tian Yuqiao's family, on the other hand, suffered a great loss. Their house was almost completely destroyed.

The thatch on the roof of the thatched cottage fell down and ignited the chest and bedding on the roof. Even the kitchen was no exception.

When Yutang found out the message, the two hens at the head of the house had already been turned into roasted chickens. The house was in ruins, and even the things inside the house had been burnt.

Although the children on the side of the house had tried their best to help, they were only ”robbing while the fire was still burning”. Lady Li had already put away the piece of cloth with blue and white flowers into her own box.

Madame Li even sent someone to bring the food back to the upper house. When Yutang returned, there was nothing left at home. The little guy was crying miserably.
