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

Chapter 602: Privately manufacturing gunpowder is against the law

The people in the old house, like the villagers, were confused as to why their house caught fire.

Everyone was sitting in the house eating Yuanxiao in the evening. With a loud bang, the table shook violently and the bowl of Yuanxiao fell to the ground.

Then, the roof of the house caught fire.

After surviving the disaster, both Mr. and Mrs. Gu thought that it was the Yao family who threw firecrackers and set the house on fire.

Mr. Gu looked at the Yao family with an unfriendly look.

Wei, who was hugging Yao's family, knew clearly that her son set off fireworks in the yard at night, and those fireworks were given by Man'er and Yaozu.

However, Wei didn't believe that such a loud noise could be made by fireworks.

Wei hugged Yao tightly, Yao was trembling, and Wei was a little uncertain.

If it was really his son who caused the trouble, Wei would definitely teach him a lesson.

Chunwang’s previous experience is still a lesson for us.

Jia glared at Wei, wishing she could take the opportunity to severely humiliate her daughter-in-law.

Gu Ruinian covered his face with black ash and hid in the crowd.

"Fengnian, Fengnian's wife, Yaojia is still young and doesn't understand things. How can you two adults take care of a child? How could you let him set the house on fire?" Old Man Gu was extremely angry.

If it wasn't for his great-grandson, he would have slapped him in the face this morning.

Now the house was on fire, and the fire-fighting had just soaked the bed, clothes, and quilts. Where should they go in this cold weather?

Yaojia cried and said, "It's not me."

At this time, Gu Ruinian wiped the dust off his face and angrily scolded Yao Jia: "You are a habitual liar at such a young age. You were playing with fireworks in the yard at night. I told you to be careful, but you didn't listen and set the house on fire."

"I saw it clearly, why don't you hurry up and apologize to your great-grandfather and great-grandmother."

Is it really the Yao family?

No one thinks it's strange.

After all, every year there are ignorant children in the village who set off firecrackers to set their clothes on fire or set haystacks on fire.

However, it is not common for a family to burn down their home like the Yao family did.

When Mrs. Gu heard that it was the Yao family who caused the trouble, she glared at them and started cursing.

Tong Huaqiong frowned. What kind of firecrackers could make such a loud noise? Her yard was some distance away from the old house, but it was shaken like an earthquake.

She knew that the Yao family's fireworks were given by our children. If she were to blame, it would probably be her own children.

It would have been fine if Gu Ruinian didn't say anything, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Tong Huaqiong suspected Gu Ruinian.

Isn't he making gunpowder?

Looking at the terrified Yao family and the bewildered Wei family, Tong Huaqiong steadied his breath and said, "I just heard a loud noise at home. Even my windows shook. If you didn't know, you would think there was a mountain explosion. What kind of fireworks could make such a loud noise?"

After Tong Huaqiong's reminder, everyone frowned.

Tong Huaqiong was not the only one who heard the loud noise, nor was she the only one who felt the earth shaking.

It's just that everyone was so busy putting out the fire that they forgot about this.

After being reminded by Tong Huaqiong, Wei came to her senses and said, "Auntie is right. The fireworks my Yao family plays with are small. They can't even light up a haystack, let alone a house."

"Could it be possible that someone threw explosives into our yard?"

Old Mrs. Gu rolled her eyes at Wei, saying that her eldest daughter-in-law was a troublemaker and even got her granddaughter-in-law involved.

Wei hugged Yaojia tightly and said to him, "Yaojia, please explain to me what happened?"

"It's okay, just tell me and I'll make the decision for you."

When the loud noise occurred, Yao Jia rushed into the house desperately.

Just now, Gu Ruinian tried hard to identify her son. She and Tong Huaqiong thought the same thing. The culprit of this incident might be Gu Ruinian.

Otherwise why would he jump out in such a hurry?

Yao Jia was comforted by Wei Shi, looked at Gu Ruinian, and said, "My uncle asked me to order it."

The crowd roared.

Gu Ruinian shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Yao Jia was frightened by Gu Ruinian's roar and trembled.

Gu Fengnian stood up and pointed at Gu Ruinian and said, "Why are you yelling?"

Then he turned around and asked Yaojia: "What did your uncle ask you to order?"

Wei felt a darkness before his eyes.

Could it be that Gu Ruinian instigated the Yao family to set the house on fire?

But where did that loud noise come from?

Yao Jia said: "My uncle asked me to light a big firecracker... He said it would bloom into beautiful flowers after it was launched into the air... So I lit it..."

Wei was so angry that she gritted her teeth and pointed at Gu Ruinian, wishing she could tear him apart.

Gu Ruinian wanted to quibble, but Old Man Gu interrupted him and asked, "What did you ask the Yao family to order?"

During this period of time, Gu Ruinian was busy in the yard, and Old Man Gu seemed to have noticed something.

He thought that his grandson's leg was already lame, so it would be good for him to have something to do. He never expected that he would instigate the Yao family to burn down the house.

"Grandpa, look, this is gunpowder."

While the people in the old house were arguing, Gu Jingzhe had already quietly led people to find the crime tools that Gu Ruinian had hidden in the backyard.

When Mr. Gu looked at his face in the light of the oil lamp, he saw that it turned pale.

The village chief was furious and yelled, "Gu Ruinian, did you make this? Do you know that you will be beheaded if you make gunpowder privately?"

Gu Ruinian should just die on his own initiative, instead of dragging the whole village down with him.

The village chief realized that Gu Ruinian had made powerful gunpowder. In order to get rid of him, he took advantage of the Yao family setting off fireworks to lure the Yao family to light the fuse of the gunpowder.

No wonder the Yao family was so scared at the beginning. The children were ignorant and thought they were in trouble.

The villagers reacted at this time.

It turned out that Gu Ruinian was secretly making gunpowder.

No wonder there was such a loud noise.

He is so brave that he dares to do such a job that will either lead to exile or death.

But why did he make gunpowder?

Could it be that he wanted to blow up his own house?

Gu Ruinian pursed his lips, his face was pale, and there was a flash of unwillingness in his eyes.

He had no idea about that era, and it was the first time he learned from the village chief that it was illegal to privately make gunpowder.

But Mr. Zheng Er never told him that.

A few years ago, the second son of the Zheng family came to the village to scold him, saying that he was selling the same news to two families. Not only did the Zheng family hoard charcoal, but Tong Da Jiao also hoarded charcoal. When the price of Zheng's charcoal rose and caused public resentment, Tong Da Jiao came out with the attitude of a savior and carried out 200,000 kilograms of charcoal.

The Zheng family was severely damaged and had to pay half of the price to the Shen family.

It’s Tong Da Jiao again. Gu Ruinian hates his aunt’s family to death.

The Second Master Zheng suspected that he and Tong Da Jiao were working together to plot against the Zheng family. He took great pains to explain for a long time before the Second Master Zheng did not cut off his other leg, but required him to make gunpowder that could destroy the city wall before the spring.

Gu Ruinian worked day and night on it these days and finally made gunpowder.

In order to test its power, he deliberately chose the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Because the whole village is setting off firecrackers on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, the crackling sound will cover up the sound of his gunpowder.

He was not aware of the power of his gunpowder and was afraid that he would be killed, so he led the Yao family to light the fuse.

Unexpectedly, there was a loud bang and burned down my house.

"Ruinian, why are you making gunpowder for nothing?"

"Luckily, only your yard was blown up. If it hadn't been discovered by the big guys, I'm afraid the whole village would have been blown up."

"You can't tolerate this, village chief. Otherwise, you won't be able to sleep well at night."

The villagers were terrified when they thought there was a time bomb in their village.

If the government finds out, they might destroy the entire village.
