It was indeed a blessing in disguise, a blessing in disguise. Tian Yu Qiao had just helped bury Master Hui Yuan, and when she returned home, she found that her small thatched cottage had turned into ashes, and it was the kind that didn't even have a single piece of dregs left.
After she had recovered, she returned to the old house to examine it.
In the direction of the kitchen, the broken pot had been burnt black, and the pot of meat oil had disappeared without a trace. If there really was a fire, then the oil can should have been burnt out as well. How could it have disappeared?
When he entered the hall, he saw that Mrs. Wang's wedding box had already been burnt black. However, that box was still considered intact, so he guessed that the things inside should also be fine.
However, when Tian Yuqiao led Tian Yutang to pry open the box, she was immediately shocked. The cloth in the box along with the pastries that Yutang had been reluctant to eat had all vanished.
If it was burned down, there should be ashes, right? Now, it was obvious that her family had been robbed. The person who had come to rob him was obviously someone from the old residence.
Tian Yuqiao's heart was filled with anger. She really wanted to rush into the upper room and argue with Lady Li. But then he thought, now that he had no proof, even if it really got out of hand, he wouldn't be in the right.
"Yutang, when you got home today, did you see anyone come to our house?" Tian Yuqiao asked solemnly.
Tian Yutang was stunned for a moment. His sister only called him by his name when she asked that serious question. Now, it seemed that she was really worried.
"Sis, when I came back, I saw that our house was still smoking. Milkman, Eldest Uncle, Aunt and the others seemed to have come to help with the fire." Tian Yuqiao sniffled.
"Oh? Are you sure they're here to help with the fire, not to pick up the stuff? " Tian Yuqiao raised her eyebrows.
"When I came back, I saw them carrying a basin. Just as I wanted to chase up to them, my aunt pushed me out. She said that they had worked hard to help put out the fire, and that the basin had been used to carry water to put out the fire. "She also told me to go find you and your mother as soon as possible. Grandma Ju Hua didn't tell me to look for them. After that, Aunt Li told me to wait for you at her house."
Tian Yutang felt a bit wronged as it was his fault. If he had come back earlier, his home might not have been set on fire. If he had returned home earlier, he might not have let them steal his family's food and things.
Tian Yuqiao already knew what was going on in his heart. He felt very ashamed of the way the people from his side of the house did things like this.
She circled the outside of her hut twice more, and found several pieces of bird's egg skin under the back wall.
Tian Yutang was also following behind her. When they saw the burnt egg skin, they immediately realized something and said, "Sis, I remember now. Today, when I was digging wild vegetables, I saw Erlang and Silang. The two of them just happened to descend from a big tree.
"Well, it must have been the two of them who were roasting the eggs in the back of our house, and then they'd set our hut on fire. This time, we definitely cannot let this matter go so easily. " Tian Yuqiao then turned around and left the yard.
At the entrance of the courtyard, he coincidentally bumped into the Jiang Clan. The Jiang family smiled and said to Tian Yuqiao, "Qiao'er, this day is very dry. Your house is made of inflammable grass. Go back and advise your mother not to get angry."
Tian Yuqiao snorted but did not say anything. She left in embarrassment.
"Oh? Look at this damn girl. You, as her aunt, kindly comforted her. She's quite the good person. She really doesn't know how to appreciate favors and she's the same as her damnable loser." Mrs. Gao scolded.
She regretted it this time. If she hadn't slept at noon, wouldn't she have been the first to rush into the second house? How could he let his mother-in-law get away with it?
Thinking of the large bundle of clothes that Madame Li had carried away, Lady Gao's heart was filled with regret. Although there were some places that had been roasted yellow by the high temperature, that was still cotton, right?
There was also the leftover half jar of meat oil. Ai, this time, it was going to be in Fourth Bro and his sister-in-law's stomachs. Lady Gao pursed her lips and angrily returned to her own house.
At this moment, in the west room of the Tian Residence, Lady Li had already cleaned up the clothes that she had rescued from the fire.
"Flower, look at this cloth, it's so good, I'll make you a new coat in the winter. "Sigh, what a pity. Those white cotton pieces were burned down and could not be used. Mother might as well throw them all into the fire, so that they wouldn't find out that we took their clothes." Madame Li said somewhat complacently.
"Mother, tell me, how did second sister manage to hide these good things?" If it wasn't for the fire in their family, we would all still be in the dark. I think she must have hidden her money, or left it for them before Second Brother left. " Tian Guihua frowned and looked at the flowery cloth on the brick bed.
"Enough, mother will keep this in your house. Don't let your two sister-in-law see it, or else they will think about it." Madame Li said with a smile.
"Mother, the lard you got from Second Sister-in-Law, let's use that lard to fry tonight, I'm hungry for it." Tian Guihua nestled into Madame Li's arms and began to act coquettishly.
"Good, good, good. Mother will give you and your fourth brother pancakes tonight, white pig pancakes." Lady Li lightly patted her daughter's hand and smiled kindly.
Tian Yuqiao led Yutang to the house of Village Chief Wang. After the two of them entered, they knelt down before the Village Chief.
"Village Head Grandpa, our family can't live on anymore." Tian Yuqiao cried.
Tian Yutang felt as if he was possessed by a playboy. When he received the look from his elder sister, he immediately started crying.
Wang Heng and his wife were confused by these two kids' actions and asked them to stand up and talk, but these two kids refused to get up.
"Village Head Grandpa, today, while my mother and I were in town, Yutang went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and wasn't home. My second brother and fourth brother were roasting bird eggs at the back of our house. Tian Yuqiao blurted out the matter while crying.
Tian Yutang also said, "Village Head Grandpa, you must uphold justice for us. When I came back, I saw my mother, my uncle, and my aunt carrying things from my house to their house. "
When the Village Chief heard this, he immediately became furious and shouted, "Good, the Tian Family is really going too far. How can they not have any kinship? "Children, don't worry, Grandpa Village Chief will definitely seek justice for all of you."
