“Quickly come over and help! Don’t just stand there like a fool, or else when will you be able to eat?” Yun Gang reprimanded Yun Lin.
Women were definitely not allowed to kill sheep and skin them. Yun Shan’s family had already provided a sheep, so it would be unreasonable to ask them to work.
Yun Gang could only call out to Yun Lin.
“Oh, I’m coming!” Yun Lin looked at Yun Zhu in the wheelchair and felt that something was wrong. Yun Zhu’s mental state today was different from before.
The wheelchair that Yun Zhu was using now belonged to a family on the east side of the village. The old man’s legs were not good before he passed away, and the family did not burn the wheelchair after he died. After all, wheelchairs were not cheap in this era. They heard that Yun Zhu’s wheelchair was broken, so they took the initiative to look for Yun Qiao and gave the wheelchair to Yun Zhu.
Yun Qiao had studied before, so he did not care that it was something used by a dead person. Ma Yan liked to take advantage of others, and Yun Gang did not have the money to compensate them, so he gave it to Yun Zhu instead. He just did not tell Yun Zhu.
However, after the Old Madam’s matter was discussed, Ma Yan would definitely demand compensation for a new wheelchair. Unless Yun Gang did not want to acknowledge Yun Lang, he would definitely have to pay compensation for this matter.
After Yun Lin went over, he helped Yun Gang set up both of the sheep’s hind legs. Now, he needed to peel off the sheep’s skin.
One person’s strength was enough, but it was also Yun Gang’s first time doing this kind of thing. He did not have much experience, so with the help of one person, he could do it faster.
“Second brother and sister, we will be done in a while. Go over and set up the stove. We can grill it directly later.”
Yun Gang could not bear to see Ma Yan being idle at the side, so he quickly ordered her to go over and start a fire.
Ma Yan smelled the fresh mutton, so she could not care less about being taken advantage of. She quickly went over to start a fire, hoping to send the mutton into her stomach as soon as possible.
When the stove was lit, a thick cloud of green smoke drifted out. Ma Yan choked until tears flowed down her cheeks.
“Yun Xi, hurry up and come out and help me. It isn’t easy to start a fire on this stove.”
Yun Xi did not want to bother Ma Yan. Seeing Ma Yan’s face covered in ash, she found it funny.
When Ma Yan saw Yun Xi mocking her, she felt a little angry. She quickly ran into the room, wanting to argue with her.
Everyone was busy with their own matters, so no one noticed Yun Zhu.
Yun Zhu slid his wheelchair closer to the fire. He used all his strength to bend down and pick up a piece of burning wood.
The flames of the fire made people’s faces start to twist. Yun Zhu’s smile looked strange.
“Go to hell!”
After Yun Zhu finished speaking, he used all his strength to throw the burning firewood into the house of Yun Shan’s family.
Almost all the members of the Yun family were in this house. If they set this house on fire, everyone would be buried with him.
Yun Zhu had been planning to set the fire for a long time. Long before he threw the torch into the house, he had already taken advantage of the fact that the others were busy spreading straw around the house.
Yun Shan and the others had other things on their minds, so they naturally did not pay attention to the straw.
As soon as the dry straw touched a spark, the fire began to spread.
“It’s on fire! It’s on fire! The house is on fire!”
It would still take some time for the fire to spread rapidly until thick smoke rose. Yun Yang was the first to realize that something was wrong. He quickly called everyone to run out of the house.
Yun Zhu was sitting in front of the house and laughing loudly. He looked a little crazy.
“How could you do such a despicable thing?”
Yun Qiao had also noticed the flames. When he ran out of the house, he saw Yun Zhu like this.
“Quickly come and help put out the fire! Quickly come and help put out the fire!”
Yun Qiao called for Yun Gang and the others, who had not noticed the situation yet. He told them to forget about the mutton and quickly come and help put out the fire.
Yun Gang was a little afraid when he saw such a large fire. If the fire continued to develop, it would be impossible to put it out using manpower. Their house and all the property in it would also turn into smoke and dust.
Basin after basin of cold water was poured on the fire, and the fire was finally stopped.
Yun Xi had long run out with the people in the house. Fortunately, the few of them did not suffer much other than choking on a few mouthfuls of smoke.
The fire was stopped, but the outermost windows of the house were all burnt. It was already autumn, and the wind at night was particularly strong. Before the windows were repaired, there would definitely be no way to live.
