Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

Xiao Minghu was immediately frustrated.

Although Erlaizi is not a good-looking person, he is still smart.

"I think what Brother Fugui said is right. The village chief is the best at confusing right and wrong. He has done a lot of things to turn the tables over the years."

Xiao Minghu was at a loss and could only look at Liu Fugui.

"Brother Fugui, I have no idea either. Just tell me, what should we do?"

Liu Fugui glanced at the villagers who were rushing over in a hurry from a distance, and frowned.

"The person in charge is not at home. I think it's best not to publicize this matter. First, quietly detain the person. After the fire is out, I will discuss it with Manager Tan in private."

Xiao Minghu thought these words made sense. Listening to the noise of the villagers getting closer and closer, he immediately dragged Zhou Lao Da up.

"Then help me quickly and drag him home along the path."

After the three men tied up Zhou Lao Da and the village chief's nephew Zhou Suo, they took them to the backyard of Xiao Minghu's house, stuffed rags into their bodies, and then headed towards the workshop.

The fire had been put out, but Carpenter Tan looked at the burnt timber house and still couldn't believe what he saw.

Liu Siyu asked him to be careful when she left, but he didn't take it too seriously.

At this moment, I really want to give myself two big slaps in the face.

Seeing Xiao Minghu and Liu Fugui arriving late, his eyes were full of displeasure, especially when he saw Er Laizi following behind them, his face instantly gloomy.

"What have you been doing?"

Xiao Minghu didn't want to say it in front of everyone, and just when he was feeling embarrassed, he heard what Liu Fugui said.

"Manager Tan, I think the fire is burning strangely. I want to talk to you alone."

Carpenter Tan sighed, he also felt that the fire was strange.

Timber workshops usually have strict fire management, so it is impossible for them to catch fire for no reason.

He said to the villagers who came to help: "Thank you for your help today. I, Old Tan, will remember this favor."

After the villagers dispersed, Manager Tan sent his waiter away and took Liu Fugui to the room where he usually rested and stored his drawings.

"What do you know?"

Liu Fugui simply recounted what happened tonight.

Carpenter Tan was horrified.

"You, what did you say, village, village chief's house?"

Liu Fugui nodded solemnly.

"When Miss Siyu left, she asked me to keep an eye on the workshop. I saw Er Laizi quietly hanging around the front door, so I stood guard at the back door."

"When the fire started, I saw two people sneaking around. As soon as I approached, they threw sand in my eyes."

"If it weren't for Brother Minghu and Erlaizi, I'm afraid we wouldn't have caught these two thieves tonight."

Carpenter Tan couldn't help but feel his calves trembling.

It seems that he has been a little bit out of control these days.

Liu Siyu also explained this to him before she left.

But he believed that this workshop had so many capable people cooperating with it, and no one in Yingshan Village, let alone the entire Liulin Town, would dare to take over the workshop.

His momentary arrogance almost ruined everything he had worked so hard for.

When I looked at Liu Fugui again, he no longer had his usual arrogance.

"What do you think about this?"

Liu Fugui saw that Carpenter Tan was indeed frightened.

No more hiding or tucking.

"As I said just now, detain him quietly for the time being and immediately go to the town to inform the Wu family, Captain Qin, and Shopkeeper Han."

After thinking about it, he added one more sentence.

"Should we also send a message to Xinghua Village?"

Carpenter Tan thought for a while and called Xiao Minghu and Er Laizi in.

When he saw Er Laizi again, Carpenter Tan no longer looked at him with the disgust he had in the past.

In the past, he saw Liu Siyu taking good care of Er Laizi and even tried to persuade him, but he was a lazy and greedy guy who wouldn't even bother with a dog.

But Liu Siyu just smiled and continued to take good care of Er Laizi.

And there was Liu Fugui. He used to treat him as just a coolie and didn't take him seriously at all.

But it was these two people who made great contributions in today's disaster.

But Carpenter Tan is not the kind of person who will never change.

He is still willing to look up to capable people.

"Since this was done by the three of you, I will remember the credit for you."

"Xiao Minghu will go to Xinghua Village, Liu Fugui and Er Laizi will go to Liulin Town together, and I will take the people in the workshop to clean up the mess."

"For the time being, we are announcing that the fire was caused by an unknown cause, and we are waiting for the owner to come back and investigate."

Several people acted separately, and the stewards of the Wu family and the Han family soon arrived at Yingshan Village.

After discussion, they decided to take the two Zhou boys to the town and lock them up first.

Qin Feng has already informed his butler, and I believe the news will reach Cangzhou soon.

……

When Lai Xi got the news, he immediately prepared to rush to Yingshan Village, and the Tian family followed closely behind.

Only Shen Yufang wanted to step forward to dissuade them, but was pushed away by Lai Xi.

Shen Yufang burst into tears out of grievance.

"Cousin, I mean well. The fire over there has been put out. Why are you so anxious? Walking in the dark, what if you fall?"

Lai Xi stopped and looked at Shen Yufang deeply.

"You know whether it's good intentions or not. As for our relationship, I've thought it through. Let your parents come over in a few days to discuss the marriage!"

Shen Yufang was overjoyed. Lai Xi had been neither helping her nor expressing his feelings these days and had been running to the town all the time. She was really unsure.

Today, the stone hanging in my heart finally fell.

Ximei walked in front of Laixi with resentment in her eyes.

"Have you really thought about it?"

Lai Xi nodded.

Ximei's eyes were full of disappointment.

"Some time ago, I saw that you and your sister-in-law had a good relationship. I thought you two were destined to be together, but I didn't expect that you would turn your attention to someone else."

As he said this, he glared at Shen Yufang fiercely.

"This man's mouth is a lie. I'm just staring at you to see if your stolen possession will be happy."

Shen Yufang was ridiculed by Ximei and looked at Lai Xi with grievance.

"I am also innocent..."

Lai Xi didn't even look at her or respond.

Only Ximei stamped her feet fiercely, "Don't put on such an innocent face in front of me, I'm going to say it first, as long as you get married, we will separate immediately."

After saying that, he looked at Tian Qingshan and Lai Fu.

"Dad, Brother Laifu, what do you think about this?"

Tian Qingshan put his hands behind his back and sighed helplessly.

"You have ruined the reputation of this family. You can do whatever you want, but one thing is for sure: I will live with the old family after the separation."

Lai Fu has always been the eldest son in the family, and he is the most reluctant to divide the family.

But ever since what happened to Shen Yufang, the determination not to split up the family has wavered.

Finally, I asked Lai Xi again.

"Do you really want to divorce Siyu?"

Lai Xi turned his back to prevent his family from seeing the pain in his eyes, "Well, we'll get it done when Siyu comes back."

Before Lai Fu could say anything, Ximei was already filled with anger.

"Lai Xi, you will definitely regret your decision today. I always thought you were the smartest and most intelligent person in the family. Today, I realized that I was wrong about you."

Lai Fu stepped forward and patted Lai Xi's shoulder earnestly.

"Don't be impulsive about the divorce. Think about the advice your family has given you in the past few days."

Lai Xi had his own plans, and now was not the time to reveal the truth, so he had to speak to Xiao Minghu who came to communicate with him.

"Uncle Xiao, let's go!"

Only then did Xiao Minghu recover from his shock.

Tonight is destined to be a special night.

First the workshop caught fire, and then the village chief's son and nephew were captured.

Now I heard that Lai Xi actually has another woman and is preparing to divorce Liu Siyu.

All these things happened one after another, making Xiao Minghu feel dizzy.

He immediately shook his head and looked at Lai Xi with complicated eyes.

Although he was not in a position to interfere in other people's affairs, Liu Siyu was from their Yingshan Village and was the daughter of Wang.

In anger, he still punched Lai Xi.
