An aunt in her fifties looked at Mengyu: "Girl, this yard belongs to your house, right?"
Mengyu nodded: "This yard belongs to my family. However, it was not us who lived there before, but a family named Yun. I and my father asked him to move out within ten days. I asked him to move out within ten days.
Today happens to be the tenth day. I came to take over the yard, and as a result, I saw it like this when I arrived, and the person named Yun didn't come to take over the yard."
Mengyu almost cried.
The aunt first asked if the yard belonged to your family. The next thing she wanted to say was, since it belongs to your family and the house burned down from your family, we have been harmed by your family and should be compensated by your family.
However, before she said the words of compensation, Mengyu said that the yard had not accepted it yet.
Yes, she hasn't handed it over yet. Before today, the yard was still in her hands. How do you ask her to compensate?
What the aunt wanted to say rolled around on her tongue a few times, and the words that came out changed: "Girl, your yard has become like this, what are you going to do now?"
"What should I do? Yes, what should I do? My dad has gone to work in other provinces, and I am alone at home. I was still hoping to move in, but now, but now"
Mengyu's face showed both grievance and anxiety. Tears welled up in her eyes and she said, "Tell me, what should I do?"
When she talked about it later, she almost cried.
Those people were waiting for her to answer what to do. Who knows, she would ask others what to do instead.
Moreover, such a beautiful little girl is already lovable enough even if she doesn't cry. No one dares to ask her to compensate for her crying.
Someone said to the aunt: "Aunt Lin, please stop asking."
Another person said: "Since the yard has not been handed over yet, the responsibility for the burning of the yard should belong to the old residents."
Because the person named Yun moved out a week ago, no one thought that the responsibility for the burning of the yard was the responsibility of the person named Yun.
Now, when they heard someone say this, everyone seemed to have their minds opened: Yes, why didn't you think of this before?
"Yes, even if your surname is Yun and you move out, but the yard has not been handed over, then it will still be in your hands.
Since the yard was burned when you were in your hands, this responsibility belongs to your surname Yun!"
"You're right, the person named Yun should be responsible."
"We should look for someone named Yun."
"Also, you little girl, since your yard was burned at the hands of Yun, you should ask him to give you a good yard."
"Yes, yes, you should ask him to give you a good yard."
"As well as our neighbors, several of whose houses were burned down or half of them destroyed, we should also ask him to pay compensation."
"Yes, yes, let's go find him!"
"Let him pay!"
"Be careful, he is an official."
"Who doesn't know how his official got there?"
"Yeah, he's just a flatterer."
"I heard that he also likes to give gifts."
…
Those people who had previously suspected that Yun deliberately burned down the courtyard suddenly started shouting, and they all said that Yun should compensate Mengyu for a good courtyard.
Those who had previously clamored for the Mengyu family to pay compensation now also targeted the Yun family.
Even after someone raised their arms and shouted: "Look for the man named Yun!", everyone immediately agreed, shouting and following the tall man.
