Chapter 250 The House Was Burned Down
Qin Huairu cursed back without showing any weakness: "Auntie, watch your mouth! What's wrong with my son? He's just a child! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
The two of them were arguing more and more fiercely, and were about to fight. At this time, Sha Zhu stood up and blocked Qin Huairu.
"Auntie, please calm down. This must be a misunderstanding." Sha Zhu advised.
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? I saw Banggeng throwing firecrackers through the crack of my door with my own eyes!" The aunt pointed at Shazhu's nose and cursed, "You idiot, you also helped Qin Huairu bully me!"
Sha Zhu was stunned by the scolding of the old lady. He didn't expect Bang Geng to dare to do this. He turned to look at Qin Huairu, his eyes full of questions. Qin Huairu avoided his gaze, and a trace of barely perceptible panic flashed across her face.
At this moment, Bang Geng squeezed out of the crowd, holding a few unlit firecrackers in his hand. He looked at Yi Zhonghai and the aunt with a smug look on his face and said loudly: "I did it! How about it? It feels good now!"
Everyone was in an uproar...
Banggeng's words were like a bomb, exploding in the crowd. Shazhu's eyes widened in disbelief, as if he was meeting this kid for the first time. Qin Huairu's face turned pale, and she swayed and almost fell.
"Bang Geng! You...what nonsense are you talking about!" Qin Huairu forced herself to remain calm and said in a trembling voice.
Bang Geng, however, looked stubborn and met Qin Huairu's gaze without fear: "I'm not talking nonsense! It was me who did it! Yi Zhonghai always wanted to occupy our house, and I've disliked him for a long time!"
Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Bang Geng and cursed: "You little bastard, you...you...you actually dared to set fire to my house! I...I'm going to call the police to arrest you!"
The aunt cried and screamed, pointing at Qin Huairu and scolding her with tears and snot: "Qin Huairu, you are such a jinx! The good son you taught! You...you will not die a good death!"
The yard suddenly became a mess, with people talking, accusations and insults coming one after another.
"This is too outrageous. How dare someone set fire at such a young age!"
"That's right! Qin Huairu is the same, how do you teach your children!"
"Yi Zhonghai is so pitiful, his house was burned down!"
……
Sha Zhu looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, feeling mixed emotions. He didn't know who to trust, nor did he know what to do. He glanced at Qin Huairu and found that she was pale and her eyes flickered, as if she had something to hide.
"Huai Ru, what...what is going on?" Sha Zhu walked to Qin Huai Ru and asked in a low voice.
Qin Huairu bit her lip and said nothing. Her mind was blank and she had no idea how to explain.
Bang Geng spoke up first, "Uncle Silly, don't ask! I did it! I...I was mad at Yi Zhonghai for always bullying my mom!"
Sha Zhu was stunned. He didn't expect Bang Geng to say such a thing. He looked at Bang Geng's stubborn eyes and suddenly felt an inexplicable sympathy in his heart.
"Banggeng, why...why are you doing this?" Shazhu asked softly.
"Because... because Yi Zhonghai always wants to occupy our house! He also... he also wants my mother to remarry him!" As Banggeng spoke, his eyes turned red and tears welled up in his eyes.
When Sha Zhu heard this, he immediately understood. He had always known that Yi Zhonghai was interested in Qin Huairu, but he had never thought that it had come to this. He was furious, but he didn't know how to vent.
"Banggeng, you...you did the wrong thing! Arson is illegal!" Shazhu tried his best to stay calm. He knew that the most important thing now was to solve the problem, not to find someone to blame.
"I know! But...but I...I really can't bear it anymore!" Bang Geng cried, "Yi Zhonghai...he is too bullying!"
Sha Zhu sighed, he knew Bang Geng was telling the truth. Yi Zhonghai had indeed been bullying Qin Huairu, but he had not intervened due to personal feelings. Now that things had come to this, he didn't know what to do.
"Okay, Banggeng, stop crying! It's already happened, crying is useless!" Shazhu comforted him, "The most important thing now is to find a way to solve the problem."
"How can we solve this? My house has been burned down!" Yi Zhonghai said angrily, "Qin Huairu, you must compensate me for my losses!"
Qin Huairu turned even paler when she heard this. She was penniless now, so how could she afford to compensate Yi Zhonghai for his losses?
"Uncle, I...I have no money now..." Qin Huairu said in a low voice.
"No money? If you don't have money, just sell the house!" Yi Zhonghai said bluntly, "You will remarry me sooner or later anyway, and the house will be mine sooner or later!"
Qin Huairu was furious when she heard this. She couldn't bear it any longer and pointed at Yi Zhonghai's nose and cursed: "Yi Zhonghai, you...you...you old fool! You...you are dreaming! I...I will never marry you even if I die!"
Yi Zhonghai was stunned by Qin Huairu's scolding. He didn't expect Qin Huairu to say such a thing. He always thought that Qin Huairu was interested in him, but she didn't agree to him because of face. Now it seems that he was completely wrong.
“Qin Huairu, you…you…you actually dared to scold me!” Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he was shaking all over. “You…you…just wait! I…I won’t let you go!”
"I... I'm not afraid of you!" Qin Huairu cursed back without showing any weakness, "You... you old rascal! You... you... you think I don't know what you... you are thinking! You... you just want to take advantage of me!"
The two quarreled more and more fiercely, and were about to fight. Sha Zhu quickly stepped forward and pulled the two apart.
"Okay, stop arguing!" Sha Zhu said loudly, "The most important thing now is to solve the problem, not to quarrel!"
"How to solve it? My house is burned down!" Yi Zhonghai pointed at the burnt house and roared.
Sha Zhu took a look at the burnt house and felt a little troubled. The house was burned so badly that it would cost a lot of money to repair it. Qin Huairu was penniless now and could not afford so much money.
"Uncle, do you think this is okay?" Sha Zhu thought for a moment and said, "I'll lend you some money first, and you can repair the house first. When Huairu has money in the future, I'll pay you back slowly."
Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly: "You want to lend me money? Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to lend me money?"
Sha Zhu was choked by Yi Zhonghai's words. He didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to say that. He always thought that he had a good relationship with Yi Zhonghai, but he didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to be so disrespectful to him.
Just then, a voice came from the crowd: "I'll pay for the repairs!"
Everyone turned around and saw a middle-aged man in plain clothes walking out.
