The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children

Chapter 601 Fire on the 5th of the first lunar month

Luo Pozi missed her grandson so much that she went crazy. When she heard Liu Yue'e say that Gu Dashu had Chunwang, she forgot about the pain all over her body and couldn't help asking, "What happened to my grandson?"

Liu Yue'e clapped her hands and said, "Your grandson did join the army, but he committed a crime and was punished by military law. I'm afraid his head would have dried up long ago."

Not only was Mrs. Luo shocked, but even Zhao and others were shocked.

An old lady asked, "Dashu wife, is what you said true?"

Liu Yue'e raised her head and said, "Why would I lie to you? I'm not a mean person like Luo Pozi who curses others for no reason. But Chunwang brought this upon himself. He was full of evil intentions and even harmed the border..."

Liu Yue'e exaggerated the news about Chunwang in Gu Dashu's letter and spread it.

The villagers gasped.

Chunwang is really cruel. He even killed his superiors in order to gain military merit. If he became a general, wouldn't he bring in the people from Mobei to massacre the city?

Such people deserve to be dealt with by military law.

"Mrs. Luo, you say every day that your grandson will be a general. Now, he has gone to the underworld to be a general and kill Yama." Someone said to Mrs. Luo.

Mrs. Luo always spread the news that her grandson had written a letter to do meritorious service in the village. Many villagers heard it and really believed it.

Those who believed in it felt that God was blind.

Now that Chunwang has been dealt with by military law, it is a happy event.

Mrs. Luo was so shocked that her eyes rolled back and she fainted in the snow.

Tian Fugui and Cao rushed over after hearing the news and pulled Liu Yue'e's sleeve to ask whether the news was true or not.

Liu Yue'e rolled her eyes and said, "If you don't believe me, go to the border to get the news yourself or wait for Chunwang to return as a general."

Tian Fugui's eyes went dark. He kicked Cao fiercely in anger and cursed, "It's all because you went to feed the pigs instead of taking care of your son."

Cao was kicked and sat on the ground. She screamed when she thought of her son, and fainted along with her mother-in-law.

Chunni stood outside the crowd and looked at Mrs. Luo and her parents, a sneer appearing at the corner of her lips.

Chunwang's joining the army was inevitable due to her instigation.

It was her idea that Chunwang should buy someone else's spot since he was not old enough, and she helped pawn the silver to buy a pair of bracelets from Luo Po.

It's not that she is cruel.

But as long as Chunwang was not eliminated, she and Cao would have no good life.

Chunwang was extremely bad at a young age. In order to ask her for the money she earned from Tong Huaqiong's pig farm, he even brought in a fool from the next village in an attempt to destroy her innocence.

Chunni just wanted to laugh out loud at her brother's death.

Chunwang's death triggered a discussion in Qinghewan. The direct consequence was that the half-grown children in the village were strictly restrained by their families, for fear that they would follow Chunwang's example and run to the border.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month soon arrived.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, people enjoy lanterns. However, because it was too cold this year, the lantern show in the town was cancelled.

Tong Huaqiong received the festival gift sent by Lu Zhaoyang from Shengjing. In fact, the gift had been sent before the New Year, but due to heavy snow the road was blocked and it did not arrive until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Thanks to the actions of Mr. Lu and Mr. Huang, the charcoal merchants in Shengjing who wanted to raise the charcoal price like the Zheng family were suppressed, thus stabilizing the charcoal price in Shengjing, allowing Shengjing to overcome the difficulties of the extreme cold weather just like Ningcheng.

The gift Lu Zhaoyang sent included two large boxes of lanterns, saying they were popular lanterns in Shengjing, and were given to the children of the Gu family to play with.

Since she couldn't go to the town to enjoy the lanterns this year, Tong Huaqiong asked a few maids to hang the yard full of lanterns that she had brought from Jufulai before the New Year. The lanterns that Lu Zhaoyang sent also came in handy.

So the Gu family’s fence, eaves, and trees were all hung with lanterns.

Man'er Yaozu and several other children clapped their hands excitedly, and many children in the village came to admire the lanterns while fanning their hands.

The Shengjing lanterns that Lu Zhaoyang sent were indeed beautiful, and each one looked lifelike.

Tong Huaqiong stood on the porch and looked up, when she suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the village.

It sounded like an explosion. Tong Huaqiong felt the ground beneath her feet tremble and even the windows were crackling.

Gu Taohua and others were so shocked that they ran out of the house to the yard.

"what's wrong?"

Tong Huaqiong was so scared that she thought it was an earthquake.

Tong Huaqiong was about to run outside when she heard someone shouting.

"Oh no, there's a fire."

"There's a fire."

"Come and put out the fire."

A fire in the countryside is a big deal.

In this era, most people’s roofs were made of thatched roofs. Once a fire caught, it would spread and easily set the entire village on fire.

Tong Huaqiong took a step forward.

There was a lot of cotton piled up in her workshop. If the fire spread and burned down her workshop, the loss would be huge.

Seeing Tong Huaqiong raise her foot, Gu Dahan and Gu Jingzhe rushed out of the house with buckets of water.

Gu Taohua, Tong Pandi and Chen Sufen ran out behind him.

"Whose house is on fire?"

When she came outside, Tong Huaqiong saw Liu Yue'e running around outside in the middle of the night, so she grabbed Liu Yue'e and asked.

Liu Yue'e put the melon seeds in her arms and said, "It looks like the direction of the old house."

Tong Huaqiong looked towards the old house.

I saw flashes of fire and thick smoke in the air above the old house.

Many people were already running in the direction of the fire.

Tong Huaqiong and others also ran towards the old house.

When we arrived at the door of the old house, we saw thick smoke and fire in the yard, accompanied by bursts of crying.

Gu Jingzhe and Gu Dahan directed everyone to put out the fire.

Soon, Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu were dragged out of the house.

Gu Youtian and Jia were pulled out one by one by Gu Fengnian.

Gu Xiaoxue and Wei rushed out carrying Yao Jia.

Seeing people coming out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister-in-law."

Gu Honglian was so scared that she was trembling and ran to Tong Huaqiong crying.

Tong Huaqiong asked: "What's going on?"

Gu Honglian said with a dark face: "We were in the house, and I don't know what happened, but there was an explosion outside, and then there was a fire..."

Gu Honglian didn’t know what was going on, and neither did Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu.

Everyone in the old house was terrified.

"It's so cold, if the house burns down, Qing will freeze to death."

Old Mrs. Gu has started crying.

"Wuwuwu... Just burn me to death. I might as well go underground and keep the Boss company."

Old Mrs. Gu cried sadly.

Since coming to Qinghe Bay, nothing has gone well.

The whole village came out and finally put out the fire.

The half-decade-old house and a pile of firewood in the old house were burned down.

Fortunately, the fire was put out in time and did not spread to the surrounding areas.

"What happened? Did a kid throw firecrackers into the pile of firewood?" asked the village chief with a dark face after putting out the fire.

When everyone heard the village chief say this, their eyes fell on Yao Jia in Wei's arms.

During the first month of the lunar year, which child doesn’t like to set off firecrackers?

Children just don't know their limits and often throw firecrackers into manure pits or firewood piles.

Especially on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, children are not allowed to go out of the village to enjoy the lanterns, so they set off firecrackers at home.

Yao Jia saw everyone staring at him, and said in a crying voice: "It's not me, it's not me."
