Chapter 51: Clearing Responsibility
"The fire is breaking out! Put it out!"
The place is on fire, who cares about Zhang Lai Yan's life or death? Everyone suddenly lost their composure.
Zhang Lai Fu was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, but he was also awakened by the noise.
He was still completely confused, just wondering how they would eat if the kitchen burned down.
The fire in the kitchen was very big, caused by Song Chunlan's carelessness. When she came out of the kitchen, she was using a fire poker to put firewood into the earthen stove. In a hurry, she heard Zhang Guicai talking about her again.
So when she pulled out the fire stick, a few sparks came out and fell on the scattered straw on the ground, causing black smoke to come out. But Song Chunlan didn't notice it, which led to the tragedy. This was also because she didn't like to clean up.
When Yuan Junyao and Yin Sanniang cooked, they would sweep the scattered straw and thatch into one place.
This kind of earthen stove needs to be used to cook with dry straw or thatch to start the fire.
As soon as Yuan Junyao entered the village, she saw many people carrying buckets of water and rushing in one direction.
She looked up and saw black smoke dyeing half the sky black. Her eyes widened in shock.
"It's on fire! Where is it on fire?"
Looking carefully at the direction, isn’t this the direction of Zhang Guicai’s home?
What happened?
Yuan Junyao hurried over, but stopped after taking only two steps. She quickly hid in a deserted place and took out a vegetable basket from the space.
There were some mushrooms and wild vegetables in the basket.
The people coming and going in the Zhang family were all firefighters. The fire was raging, the entire kitchen was on fire, and most of the east wing was burned. If the fire was not controlled, it would definitely burn to the main room, and then the Zhang family would suffer heavy losses!
"Put out the fire, put out the fire, quickly."
"Water, water, hurry up!"
Yuan Junyao stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked in with a gloomy expression. People coming and going around her were all putting out fires.
She was thinking, why are the Zhang family so unlucky even though she hasn't even started anything yet? They actually caught fire at this critical moment.
Since such a big thing happened, the village head naturally came too.
He quickly organized the villagers to put out the fire in an orderly manner and maintain order, which made the people coming and going less chaotic.
Yuan Junyao stood aside and no one had time to pay attention to her.
She searched the yard and saw Song Chunlan sitting on the ground crying.
Zhang Guicai, Zhang Lai Fu and Zhang Lai Fu were all trying hard to put out the fire.
The door of the west wing was open. Yin Sanniang stood at the door, frowning deeply as she looked at the burning kitchen. Zhang Laiyan's door was tightly closed.
"Don't worry, Junyao. The fire will definitely be put out. We have strength in numbers!"
The village head saw Yuan Junyao staring at the yard in a daze and thought she was scared silly.
Yuan Junyao quickly composed herself and looked like she was about to cry.
"I just went out to pick some wild vegetables and mushrooms, how come the house caught fire?"
The village head shook his head and said, "The fire started in the kitchen. Let's ask what happened after the fire is out."
Yuan Junyao nodded and acted anxiously as if she was about to go forward to help.
The village head quickly called her.
"Don't make trouble. Let the men go. They are strong and can carry water quickly."
Yuan Junyao could only stand aside and wipe her tears silently, but in fact not a single tear came out.
The head of the village and other uncles and aunts in the village kept comforting her, saying that as long as she was okay, there would be no shortage of firewood.
The fire started in the evening and was not put out until it was completely dark.
The kitchen and east wing of the Zhang family were completely burned down. These were the rooms where Yuan Junyao and Zhang Lai Fu lived.
Song Chunlan fainted several times from crying. The fire was not burning the house, but her heart, liver, lungs and spleen, making her feel excruciating pain.
After such a big thing happened, she remembered that she was putting firewood into the stove before leaving the kitchen. When the firewood stick was taken out, it had some sparks. She didn't care at the time, but she didn't expect it to cause such a disaster.
After the fire was extinguished, the tired villagers returned home hungry.
Everyone's body was stained black. It was already dinner time, but most of them hadn't eaten yet. They had also done farm work all day, so they were tired and hungry.
When human lives are at stake, everyone puts aside their personal grudges. Most of the people who put out the fire had families that had conflicts with Song Chunlan.
Zhang Guicai and his two sons sat dejectedly on the steps of the main hall. All three of them were exhausted.
Song Chunlan was helped to sit on a chair, and when she woke up she started crying again.
Yin Sanniang was still in her late period and couldn't stay outside for long, so she went back to her room.
Most people left and went home to take a shower.
The village head was still there, so Yuan Junyao walked into the yard with him.
"Things are gone, but as long as people are alright," the village head consoled them, then asked, "Why did the fire start out of nowhere?"
Zhang Guicai, his son and his two sons didn't know what was going on, but they all looked at Song Chunlan.
Song Chunlan was crying with her eyes closed, heartbroken about the loss of her family.
Yuan Junyao didn't wait for the village head to ask, "Mom, what's going on? Why did the kitchen catch fire out of nowhere? Shouldn't you be cooking in the kitchen at this hour?"
Song Chunlan stopped crying immediately after hearing Yuan Junyao's voice, and hatred flashed in her eyes.
She cried and made a fuss but she didn't dare to admit her mistake. She was afraid that the father and his two sons would ask her and find out that it was all her fault.
So when she heard Yuan Junyao's voice, she accused her emotionally: "It's all your fault, it's all your fault, you little bitch, why didn't you cook? If you cooked, this wouldn't have happened.
You don't do anything about the family affairs, it's all your fault, you unlucky star..."
Yuan Junyao immediately cried out in grievance, "How can you blame me for this? I wasn't home when the fire started. I went to the mountains to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables! I just didn't cook for the past few days. How can you blame me for everything?"
Song Chunlan was so angry that she fainted and couldn't even stand up, but now she stood up all of a sudden. She looked so ferocious that she didn't seem heartbroken at all. Instead, it looked like she wanted to eat Yuan Junyao alive.
"You still dare to quibble. You haven't done anything about the housework these past few days, and you still have the nerve to say that if you, as my daughter-in-law, had helped, there wouldn't be a fire in the kitchen today. It's all your fault, you jinx."
Yuan Junyao sat down on the ground and cried, "You were the one who said I didn't have to work and didn't give me any food. You said my food and drink were all from home, so I stopped working. But I haven't eaten anything from home these past few days. Oh, God, how can you blame me for everything? Is there any justice in this world?"
Seeing that she was still crying, Song Chunlan became furious and was about to kick her, but was stopped by the village head with a sullen face.
