C32 (1/2)

Tian Yuqiao pulled her brother around the dilapidated thatched cottage to inspect the surroundings. In her heart, she was able to deduce the general gist of what had happened.

It was definitely the two gluttonous fellows, Erlang and Silang, who had secretly stirred up trouble at the back of their house. In the end, before the spark could be extinguished, they had already left, leaving their home with nowhere to live.

Lady Li was even more hateful. She actually took the opportunity to take the food and cloth away from the house. However, when he went to the village in the morning, he saw Lady Gao and the Jiang Clan walking out of the village together. Could it be that the two of them didn't go to the town but somewhere else? Why else would they be at home?

Tian Yuqiao was too lazy to bother with the reason why the Gao and Jiang clan were at home. In short, all the women in the house were taken advantage of this time. It could only be said that all kinds of things were gathered together, and this old dwelling actually didn't have a single good thing.

The two siblings went to the Village Head's house to put on a show of their grievance. After that, the Village Head angrily followed behind the two of them, walking towards the Tian Family residence at the end of the village.

When the villagers saw him along the way, they immediately knew that the village chief was probably going to solve the problem of the Tian Clan's second house's fire. Thus, the villagers who liked to watch the fun followed behind him.

Tian Yuqiao and his sister were left speechless by the increasing number of people following them.

By the time they arrived at the Tian Residence, there were already more than twenty villagers following them.

The Village Chief directly walked into the Tian Clan's courtyard, while those who came with him to watch the show gathered outside the Earthen Wall Courtyard. All of them stretched their necks and looked inside with their legs crossed.

Madame Li had just finished tidying up the cloth and was about to give the pancakes to her fourth son and old daughter when she saw the village chief walk in with a dark face. Behind him were the two little white-eyed wolves from the second brother's house.

”Oh? Village Head, you've come to our house twice today.” The matter of the second brother's house burning must have been due to their kitchen pit not being destroyed, which was why the house was lit up. ”Aiya, they've dragged half the room in our house to the ground. I don't want to bother with them anymore …”

Madame Li didn't wait for Wang Heng to speak before she started rambling. People who didn't know the reason would think that she was very magnanimous.

A cold smile appeared on Tian Yuqiao's face. She had never thought that she would meet such a shameless person in her two lifetimes. To be able to say that this' black 'guy was' white ', his skin was truly shameless.

The village chief did not waste any more words with Madame Li. Under Tian Yuqiao's lead, he began to inspect the surroundings of the burning thatched cottage. Sure enough, he found a few pieces of bird egg shells in a pile of ashes at the back of the house.

He picked it up and smelled it. It really was the smell of burnt bird eggs. Wang Heng raised his head and looked at the wall in front of him. At this height, the sparks on the ground might really be blown by the wind. Plus, the roof of the second house was made of straw, so wouldn't that be enough to ignite the fire?

Wang Heng's face was gloomy as he said to Lady Li, ”Today, one of your family members is roasting a bird's egg at the back of the house to eat?”

When Lady Gao heard this, she didn't even wait for Lady Li to speak before she stood up and denied it. Even if our family members were to eat a piece of egg, we would have to let Mother nod her head in approval, but no one would sneak up on us and eat it. ”

”I didn't ask you, talk less.” Wang Heng rebuked.

”That's right, all the children in the house are here today. My two daughter-in-law also went to the village next door to attend the fair. There's no one in the house to roast bird eggs on.” Madame Li said.
