Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

Chapter 379: Fire at the 4th Courtyard

It was already evening when Qin Huairu woke up. She had recovered some energy and was about to make dinner for the two children. But when she opened the rice jar, she was stunned. There was no rice at home. If a mouse came, it would have to leave in tears. I really don't know how the two children persisted.

It was too late to go out and buy food. Even if she did, Qin Huairu's health would not allow her to go so far to buy food. Qin Huairu had no choice but to take the money and food coupons to Yan Bugui's house in the front yard to exchange some food at a high price.

The other families in the yard were too lazy to pay attention to her, and the only way for her to get food was to let Yan Bugui take advantage of her.

After a lot of trouble, Qin Huairu finally got some food and cooked half a pot of cornmeal porridge. After the mother and her two daughters drank it, they felt much better in their stomachs.

But Qin Huairu had just rested for two days, and on the third day she was dragged out for criticism and parading. After that, she was dragged out for criticism and parading every few days. Previously, because Qin Huairu was pregnant, the soldiers were relatively lenient with her, but this time, since the child was gone, they had no scruples.

As time went by, Qin Huairu was exhausted physically and mentally. Her health had not recovered well to begin with, and now it was even worse. She gradually lost hope in life. The conditions of her two daughters also began to worsen. Like Jia Zhangshi, their bodies began to rot. It can be said that their lives were already in the countdown.

Does Qin Huairu hate it? That's natural!

If Xu Damao hadn't brought everyone in the compound together to exclude her family, how could she have lived such a difficult life? If Sha Zhu hadn't stopped supporting her family, her family would have never had to worry about food and clothing!

If it weren't for the strange disease that Jia Zhang had contracted from nowhere, how could the two daughters be dying? Jia Zhang, this evil woman, really won't let anyone rest in peace even after her death!

If her family wasn't in financial difficulty, she wouldn't have thought of selling her body, let alone being caught in the act. She was just a weak woman with no talent, so what was wrong with wanting to improve her family's living conditions? What had she done wrong?

They are both widows with children, but Jianliang Ladi has three boys. Why is she so lucky? Since she got married, her husband loves her, her father-in-law helps her, and her sister-in-law often comes to her house with big bags of good things! Now she has given birth to a son for Shazhu, and the whole family is almost spoiling her to the sky!

People in the courtyard always compare themselves with her, but they always praise Liang Ladi and look down on Qin Huairu. When my husband was still alive, didn't he always praise me for being a filial and good daughter-in-law? When Yi Zhonghai was a master, didn't people in the courtyard support my family? Why did everything change?

Qin Huairu was lying on the kang, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. This person is afraid of this, and this comparison makes her mentality unbalanced and distorted. She never thought that since you don't leave me a way to live, I will drag you to death together!

At this moment, a crazy idea came to Qin Huairu's mind, which was to burn down the courtyard. Since my Jia family was going to cease to exist, why should I keep this courtyard? Let them laugh at their own family and say a few words from time to time?

In the next few days, Qin Huairu started to sell the house. As for why she sold the house, one reason was that she had no money and wanted to raise some money to buy some flammable items such as kerosene and firewood for setting fire.

The second is to think about whether I can cheat the people of Siheyuan again. I will sell the house to you, and then use your money to burn down the Siheyuan. When that happens, our whole family will be gone. Who can you go to for justice? I just want to ask you if you are angry or not?

It must be said that Qin Huairu was a vicious woman. She didn't forget to cheat her neighbors before she died. She immediately revealed her idea of ​​moving, and felt that it was not safe, so she went to the street office to register the information that she wanted to sell the house, and then waited for someone to come to negotiate the price.

However, there are not many families in the entire courtyard who have a great demand for houses and are rich enough to afford them. In the past, the Liu family and the Yan family were definitely the best among them.

However, Liu Haizhong bought two houses in Nanyi. The second son of the Yan family lived in Xu Damao's house. The third and fourth sons went to the countryside, and the two families did not have such an urgent need for a house.

Several other families wanted to buy it, but they didn't have the money and Qin Huairu's asking price was not low, so they never reached a deal.

Sha Zhu also wanted to buy the house as a wedding house for his children in the future, so that the Central Courtyard would basically all belong to his family, but he was stopped by He Daqing.

What a joke! Yu Shui left behind several courtyards before he left. He Daqing had secretly visited them all. Which one was not better than this one? Why did he have to spend a high price to buy the Jia family's house?

In the end, a young man who had just been assigned to the steel mill became the victim. However, he didn't have enough money, so he just paid a deposit of 100 yuan and waited a month to come back for the transaction when he had enough money.

After Qin Huairu had the hundred yuan, she bought some kerosene for starting a fire and other things, and then spent a lot of money on a lot of delicious food. The three of them, mother and daughter, ate for more than a week before they spent all the money.

That night, the moonlight was dim and the northwest wind was blowing, so Qin Huairu sneaked out with the kerosene and matches she had prepared long ago.

She first piled some firewood next to her house and then poured some kerosene, and then began to pour kerosene into Wang Sufen and Sha Zhu's houses.

She had just poured kerosene on Sha Zhu's house, and then went home to get more, and then she started pouring it on Wang Sufen's house. In terms of hatred, she hated Yi Zhonghai more than Sha Zhu. His family had so much money but he refused to help her family, so what was wrong with him leaving her family with nothing? What was wrong?

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu poured more water, not even sparing the boatman. Then she took out the matches she had prepared long ago and lit them, grinning as she set fire to Wang Sufen's house.

However, when Qin Huairu poured kerosene on the window just now, Wang Sufen, who was sleeping with her two children in her arms, heard the sound. Because she often had to get up to cover the two children with quilts, she was not sleeping very deeply, and at this time she turned her head to check the movement outside.

Wang Sufen discovered the flame as soon as it started to rise.

"Someone come quickly, there's a fire! Someone is setting a fire!" Wang Sufen screamed loudly, she put on a piece of clothing and wrapped the two children with a quilt, then opened the door and ran out frantically.

"Help! There's a fire, help come!" Wang Sufen shouted desperately as soon as she ran into the yard.

When Qin Huairu saw that time was running out, she threw the torch in the direction of Sha Zhu's house and quickly ran back to her own home.

Sha Zhu was the closest to the place and was the first to react when he heard the noise. He put on a cotton coat and rushed out, just in time to see the big fire outside and the torches not far from his door.

Sha Zhu kicked the torch away, then chased after it and stomped it out a few times. Then he went into the house, took out the washbasin and started knocking on it.

The noise was much louder than the shouting, and soon all the lights in the houses in the courtyard were turned on, and the men came out with their weapons to put out the fire.
