After the marriage was broken off, the husband's family regretted it
Chapter 23: Burning Straw
Villagers came to Yuntao's house to sell eggs and rice straw. Perhaps many villagers had tasted the sweetness of rice straw, and they could make money from it. Many people came to Yuntao to sell rice straw, even more than selling eggs.
After all, eggs cost three coins in the town, and peaches cost two coins. If one coin is missing, 30 eggs will cost 50 coins, and eggs will cost coins. In the long run, it is also a considerable income, and the villagers are very smart.
Sanniu looked at the straw and said worriedly, "Mom, there is too much straw. It fills up our yard."
"Big Bull, Second Bull, Third Bull, while mom is cooking today, Big Bull will light the fire, and you two will scoop out the straw ashes and put them in the big pit in the yard. As for the unburned straw, put them one by one, not near our house, keep them three to five meters away, understand?"
Sanniu said, "Mom, it's not bad to put them at home. It's fine to put them next to each other. There's no need to move them around."
Yun Tao immediately said firmly: "No, we can't put it at home, and we can't put it too close to home. Straw is flammable and burns very quickly. If we are not careful, our house can be burned down. Although it may not happen, we must be prepared."
Sanniu: "Little brother, whatever mother says is what you should do. It is really unsafe to store so much rice straw next to the house, and these rice straws are bought to be burned."
"Daniu, how many eggs did we collect?"
"Mom, only a few people in the village sold eggs to us. Most people were reluctant to sell them to us. Our eggs were a penny less than those in town. Maybe they thought they could get more money by selling them in town. I just counted them and there were only 200 eggs in total. There must be more than that in the village."
"Don't worry about them. They can sell it to whoever they want. It's not cheap for us to charge two cents. Besides, if we sell it in town, they can guarantee that it will be sold out. Even if it is sold out, we don't know when it will be sold out. Don't forget, you accompanied mother to sell eggs before, and one day you didn't come back until it was almost dark."
Sanniu continued, "That's right, brother. There are more people selling things now, and everyone is smarter."
"Never mind him. They will come to sell eggs later. The weather is so hot now, how long can eggs be kept? Besides, eggs won't lay if they are left there. We will make them into preserved eggs tomorrow."
Sanniu: "Mom, are preserved eggs the same kind of eggs that change color that we ate before?"
Yes, that kind. I even left a dozen for Zhenwei Restaurant so that they can try the taste. Maybe we can make a fortune from this preserved egg in the future."
At night, when Yuntao and her family were sleeping soundly, Yuntao had a nightmare. She dreamed that she was in a fire and there was fire all around her. No one paid attention to her no matter how she called for help. She just screamed until her throat was broken and watched the fire engulf her.
Yun Tao opened her eyes immediately out of shock. Just as she was still in shock, she suddenly smelled the scent of rice straw when burning. Yun Tao got up immediately to check.
The rice straw in the yard started to burn for some reason, and the fire burned more and more fiercely. Rice straw is flammable. The outside of the yard was almost all rice straw, and it burned very quickly.
"Big Bull, Second Bull, Third Bull, get up quickly, the house is on fire."
Yun Tao saw that the three brothers were unable to shout, and immediately poured a basin of cold water on each of their faces.
Sanniu screamed, "Mom, there's a water leak at home. It's raining so hard, I'm soaked."
Da Niu patted San Niu on the head and said, "You idiot, it's just water poured by mother, it's not raining hard at all."
"Stop talking, put out the fire, quick, big bull, second bull, third bull."
The three brothers realized what was happening and quickly got up and scooped water to wash the rice straw, but the water was not enough to stop the fire. The family of four could only stare at the rice straw being burned up by the raging fire.
After half an hour, the fire finally went out by itself.
Sanniu: "Mom, we have lost all our money. We paid for these rice straws, and now we have lost everything."
Erniu: "Mom, who the hell set this on fire? It can't be set on fire for no reason. It's past cooking time at night. Even if they were cooking, they would be in the kitchen, which is quite far from here."
Daniu looked at Yuntao and said, "Mom, the fire wouldn't have started for no reason. Someone must be jealous of our family and is looking at us with envy. People with red eyes have no kindness in everything they see."
Yun Tao looked at the fire and thought to herself, "Could it be the Wang family? They are the most vengeful family in the village. Even if the other families have some minor conflicts, they are not so serious as to burn the rice straw. If this thing is not careful, the house will be burned down and the people will die too. It is really cruel."
Sanniu looked at everything in front of him and thought, Mom, all the rice straw is burned, what should I do?
It's okay, now that it's burned, we're still fine. In fact, the rice grass was originally used to burn, and now that it's burned, it saves us the trouble.
Take a rest, we still have to make preserved eggs tomorrow.
"Dali, are you sure they are all burned?"
"Mom, don't worry, it's all burned. I also saw that little bitch Yuntao panicking. And I saw the four of them with my own eyes. Yuntao, Da Niu, Er Niu, and San Niu were scooping water to put out the fire. I still remember their look. They were helpless, watching the rice straw burn. That was all money."
Dali's wife said, "Master, that was several taels of silver. I'm so happy that it was burned. What a bunch of tactless people. Instead of using the several taels of silver to honor our old house, they took it to buy some useless rice straw. Now, everything is gone. It's a pity that the little bitch was not burned to death. I still feel the pain from the beating I received last time."
When Old Lady Wang heard what Xiaomei said, she said, "You are such a tactless woman. Now we only burned the rice straw and we can't find the person responsible. Just let her lose some money. Make a big deal out of a small matter, and a small matter out of a big matter. If the matter really gets burnt to death or injured, the government will be held responsible, and someone in the village will also be held responsible. It's not so easy to let go of a life lost. You are really a shallow-minded person."
"Mom, I just want to help you vent your anger."
"Is this how you vent your anger? How can you be so stupid?"
Wang Dali: "Mom, stop talking about my wife. She is doing this for your own good."
"For my own good, for my own good, work hard, earn more money, and come up with money like Yuntao did."
Liu Xiaomei was indignant. She originally just wanted to please the old lady, but she ended up flattering the wrong person.
It’s all Yuntao’s fault. Why do you show off your money? It’s like you’re making it seem like others don’t know you can make money.
