Chapter 698 The Arsonist Must Be Found

When Jia Zhang was doing forced labor on the farm, she was submissive, but when she arrived at the courtyard, she punched Qin Huairu.

A fire burned down all the family property, and Jia Zhang needed someone to vent her anger on.

Qin Huairu was stunned by Jia Zhang's two big slaps in the face.

No!

What does a fire at home have to do with me?

I have already gone out to work, how can I take the blame for this?

"Mom, I rushed back as soon as I heard the news. This fire..."

Before Qin Huairu could finish her words, Jia Zhang slapped her in the face.

"Snapped!"

"Mom!!" Qin Huairu felt unprecedentedly wronged, and her eyes turned red. Isn't this bullying?

If Qin Huairu didn't have to maintain her image as a good daughter-in-law in front of the people in the courtyard, she would have wanted to slap Jia Zhang twice.

"Talk back, I'll let you talk back!"

Jia Zhang bared her teeth and yelled at Qin Huairu: "Our family's money is gone, all gone. Not only the money, but also the bed, quilt, and cabinets were burned to ashes!"

"From now on, our family will just starve to death!"

Money gone??

Hearing this, Qin Huairu was stunned at first, and then looked at Jia Dongxu lying on the ground.

Didn’t Jia Dongxu take away all the money in the family?

Why did Jia Zhang say that the family’s money was burned in the fire?

Suddenly, Qin Huairu seemed to have figured something out and looked at Jia Dongxu with complicated eyes.

How happy he was to spend money at the beginning, how nervous he must be now when facing Jia Zhang.

Could it be that Jia Zhang was going to check the money under the straw mat, and Jia Dongxu was afraid that the truth would be revealed, so he simply set the house on fire?

I rely on!

Isn't this pure insanity!

If he was discovered by Jia Zhang, he would at most be scolded. Given Jia Dongxu's current condition, it was impossible for Jia Zhang to beat him up.

In order to avoid being scolded, Jia Dongxu set the house on fire, which caused him a huge loss.

idiot! ! !

What a fool!

Qin Huairu cursed Jia Dongxu in her heart, then walked towards the house.

as predicted!

The situation in the house was similar to what Jia Zhang had described. The two beds were basically broken, and the bedding and other things had been burnt to charcoal. The only wardrobe in the house that was still in good condition was also affected, and the clothes inside were mostly burnt.

What a big loss! !

This wave of losses was hard for Qin Huairu to accept.

The money she and Jia Dongxu made was far less than the loss today.

Jia Dongxu seemed to know that Qin Huairu had seen through his little thoughts, and he kept lying on the ground wailing desperately. If someone didn't know the noise, they would think that it was not the house that was on fire, but Jia Zhang's house!

At this point, Qin Huairu naturally couldn't expose Jia Dongxu. She could only walk out of the house quickly and walk in front of the second and third aunts with red eyes.

"Second Aunt, Third Aunt, our family really has nothing left. Please lend a hand and help us get through this difficult time."

After saying that, Qin Huairu actually bent her knees and knelt down towards the second and third aunts.

Ah? ?

The second and third aunts, who were just waiting to watch the fun, were completely confused.

I rely on?

The two of them were put on a stand in front of everyone in the hospital.

If they don't help, it would seem that they have no sympathy, but if they help, they will feel reluctant.

The Jia family lost at least one hundred dollars, and they have nowhere to live for the time being. If they really want to help, it will be a huge loss!

But there is no way, since they are from the family of the boss.

Thinking of this, the second aunt couldn't help but look in the direction of the first aunt, only to see the first aunt standing at the door of her house, holding her child and watching the fun, with no intention of getting involved.

However, Qin Huairu had a good plan, and the second and third aunts were not pushovers either.

"Hey, Qin Huairu, what are you doing? Get up, get up!"

"A fire wouldn't happen in a house for no reason. Now the fire has been put out. The most important thing right now is to find out the cause of the fire. If someone set the fire intentionally, you can ask the arsonist to pay compensation. If he doesn't pay, send him to jail!" The third aunt helped Qin Huairu up.

Seeing this, the second aunt also quickly agreed: "That's right, the most important thing right now is to report to the police and catch the arsonist!"

"Fortunately, the fire was discovered in time and the neighbors came to help, so other houses were not affected. But the arsonist must be found. If he dares to set fire to your house today, he will dare to set fire to someone else's house tomorrow!"

The third and second aunts said a few words and then put aside the matter of helping and focused on catching the arsonist.

But how did the fire start? Qin Huairu knows everything!

Arson is a much more serious crime than stealing.

Even if it was his own house that was set on fire, it also threatened other neighbors. What if the police found out that it was Jia Dongxu who did it and arrested him and put him in jail?

Although Jia Dongxu is a disabled person, he can at least help take care of Banggeng.

What's more, if people knew that Jia Dongxu had set his house on fire, who knows what the people in the courtyard would say about the Jia family. If they wanted to ask people in the courtyard for help then, it would be impossible.

After thinking about it, Qin Huairu nodded vigorously.

"Second Aunt, Third Aunt, you are right. I will report to the police and ask them to investigate the cause of the fire."

"But right now, food and shelter are a problem for our family of four. I hope you can help me. I, Qin Huairu, will definitely repay you in the future."

After saying that, Qin Huairu wanted to kneel down again.

Good guy!

If this kind of acting skills were used decades later, she would probably have no problem winning the Best Actress award.

He is so good at pretending, and his emotions and appearance are so perfect that people feel pity for him at first sight.

Jia Dongxu, who was lying on the ground, felt nervous. He was worried that Qin Huairu would really report to the police. If he was put in jail in his current condition, wouldn't he be bullied to death?

"That's right. We have been neighbors for so many years. You have to help our family this time."

Having lost her savings, Jia Zhang almost went crazy, and she also wanted to seize the opportunity to make some money from the people in the courtyard.

this......

The second aunt and the third aunt looked at each other, feeling that further refusal would affect the image of their two families in everyone's mind.

"Qin Huairu, don't worry, we will definitely help you!" After thinking for a while, the third aunt said, "But how exactly to help, we two women can't decide."

"How about this, you go to the street office first to talk to Director Wang about the situation, and then wait for your second and third uncles to get off work, and then discuss the matter of assistance."

Although the second aunt hated the Jia family, she also agreed, "That's right, wait until your second and third uncles get off work and then discuss it. By then, everyone in the courtyard will be there, and they will definitely not let your family of four go hungry."
