Cheng Qiao nodded. Because Chen Chunhua pushed her off the bullock cart, her family paid 300 yuan in compensation, which caused a series of problems later.
They did not think that this was their own problem, but put all the mistakes on Cheng Qiao. If Cheng Qiao did not want to compensate at that time, there would not be so many things.
Therefore, Cheng Qiao must bear the main responsibility for this matter, but Cheng Qiao has now become the village chief's wife. Don't regard the village chief as your leader. Sometimes, the village chief's words are more useful than the county chief.
So, they could only wait, waiting for Cheng Qiao to be alone, and their son, Xiao Cheng Li, who was already handsome at a young age, and who knows how handsome he would be when he grows up, how could this be allowed.
So after Xu Laidi's mischief failed, Zhao Di locked the door at home and scolded him for more than half an hour. She called Xu Laidi stupid, her own life was bad, Cheng Qiao was a vixen, and Li Huan was a bandit.
Outside, Chen Chunjian and Chen Chunli curled their lips. Their reputations had been dragged down by Chen Chunhua, and no girl was willing to marry into their family anymore.
But my mother was right. If Cheng Qiao, a vixen, hadn't hooked up with Li Huan, the village chief's wife would be their sister.
When Chen Weidang was the village chief, the two brothers were simply the two bullies in the village. Even if the villagers suffered a loss, for Chen Weidang's sake, they had no choice but to admit it.
What's more, his father is also the accountant of the village. If he moves here and there, he will always have a few cents every month, or even one yuan as pocket money for the two brothers.
But since Cheng Qiao asked for 300 yuan in compensation, everything has changed. The uncle has changed from the village chief to the accountant, and his father has also become a real bastard. Not to mention a dollar, not even a penny.
There is no pocket money left.
Since ancient times, it has been easy to move from frugality to luxury, but it has been much more difficult to move from luxury to frugality. The two young men were furious at Cheng Qiao.
They want Cheng Qiao to die, and Cheng Qiao's son Xiao Cheng Li to die, but they are asking people to die, but they won't really die, so they still have to find a way.
The two heads were crowded together, discussing how to let Cheng Qiao die too, and take little Cheng Li with him. Finally, the flames dancing under the kitchen stove gave them inspiration.
They all knew that Li Huan had built a new house, and both Cheng Qiao and Xiao Cheng Li lived in the newly built house. They wanted to set fire to it now, but they were afraid of Li Huan. This Li Huan could even kill wild boars, let alone the two of them.
So the two of them took turns to squat in a depression at the foot of the mountain. From here they could see the entrance to Cheng Qiao's yard, but Cheng Qiao and the others might not necessarily pay attention to this place.
Finally one day, Li Huan went out on his bicycle, with Goudan in front and Li Le in the back. Looking at them walking towards the outside of the village, they probably went to school.
Chen Chunjian hurriedly ran back home, and the two of them took the matches and ran to Cheng Qiao's house. The backyard wall of Cheng Qiao's house was not as high as the front yard, so the two brothers moved a few stones and quietly climbed in.
The window of Cheng Qiao's house next to the backyard was opened a crack. There was a stove burning in the house, so it had to be opened a crack, otherwise there would be carbon monoxide poisoning.
The two of them didn't know whether Cheng Qiao was in the house, so they lit a dead branch with a match. The dead branch would burn when exposed to fire, and then threw the burning dead branch in through the window.
Cheng Qiao was busy in the space with little Cheng Li. Little Cheng Li is seven months old and is extremely flexible. Not only can he turn over, he can also try to stand up on his own.
If one is not careful, people will fall off the kang, and Cheng Qiao often has to enter the space, either to organize supplies, take a bath, or plant some crops, especially medicinal materials.
Since we only have one acre of land, we really can’t grow much. Fortunately, the speed of space planting is not comparable to that outside, and crops can be harvested in almost a month.
The medicinal materials depend on the type of medicinal materials. Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng grow slowly, but medicinal materials such as astragalus, fleece-flower root, dendrobium, wolfberry, gastrodia elata, and eucommia grow faster.
She put little Cheng Li on the ground to play by herself, and then started to work. After the work was done, she took little Cheng Li to take a bath. The temperature of the space was always 25 or 6 degrees, so she would not catch a cold at all while taking a bath.
Cheng Qiao had just put on little Cheng Li's clothes when he heard an urgent knock on the door. He couldn't help but feel strange and carried little Cheng Li out of the room.
As soon as he came out of the space, he saw the fire in the room. The bedding on the kang was already burning. The fire was filled with smoke, which almost frightened Cheng Qiao to death.
"Qiao, are you inside? Open the door. It's on fire."
There was Mother Li's shouting outside, and the sound of Ye Jun banging on the door with a shovel. Cheng Qiao's first reaction was to send little Cheng Li into the space, and then turn on the faucet of the water in the space.
It's just that although the water comes out of the tap, it cannot come out directly from the space. Instead, it needs a bucket or basin. Cheng Qiao used his consciousness to put the bucket under the faucet and opened the door smoothly.
When Ye Jun saw the door open, he first poured the water from the bucket next to the kang onto the kang, and then went to fill it with water. However, he saw Cheng Qiao also holding a bucket of water in his hand and poured it on the bed.
Ye Jun's heart trembled when he saw it, and he quickly took Li's mother to fill the water. Li's mother was so frightened that her legs went weak, but she still managed to follow Ye Jun out.
"Sister-in-law, you just fill the water here and I'll put out the fire."
Ye Jun looked after Li's mother and rushed in with another bucket of water. Cheng Qiao turned the faucet to the maximum, even the well water came up, and poured bucket after bucket of water towards the fire.
Half an hour later, the room was filled with smoke and all the heat was released. Cheng Qiao and Ye Jun stood in the room wet, carefully checking where there were any sparks.
"Master, quickly, go to your room and change your clothes."
"You also take your clothes and go next door to change them."
The two of them acted independently. Cheng Qiao casually picked up a set of cotton-padded clothes and trousers, pulled little Cheng Li out of the space, and came to the house of Granny Goudan next door.
Grandma Goudan also knew that Cheng Qiao's house was on fire. Seeing her wet when she came in, she felt distressed and asked her to put little Cheng Li on the kang and change clothes quickly.
Cheng Qiao put little Cheng Li inside the hot kang, and quickly took off his wet clothes. Fortunately, his close-fitting cotton sweater and pants were not wet, so he quickly got on the kang to keep warm.
"Why did it catch fire?"
Cheng Qiao shook her head. She didn't expect that someone deliberately set the fire. She thought she had failed to take care of it. Maybe the sparks from the fire bed flew out and set the quilt on fire.
Mother Li finally recovered and went to the kitchen to make thick brown sugar ginger water and delivered it to Ye Jun and Cheng Qiao. Seeing them drink it in one gulp, she felt relieved.
"Mom, please don't touch anything in the house. Wait until I can catch my breath and come and see what's going on."
"Hey, I can't move."
Mother Li picked up the cotton-padded jacket and trousers that Cheng Qiao had thrown on the ground and prepared to dry them. The wet cotton-padded jacket and trousers were very heavy, which showed how urgent the situation just now was.
