Chapter 642: The House Was Destroyed

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Forget it! I just heard from the locals that there are a few small restaurants ahead and the seafood inside is also very authentic. Since today is our last day here anyway, why don’t we pack up and head out for a meal before we head home?”

Yun Xi looked at the situation before her and could only find joy within her misery.

“Alright!”

Zhou Lin did not mind these things. The sudden situation in front of him was just a small problem to him.

“You two, stop right there! You’ve lived in my own house, and you’ve even made my house look like this. Do you want to leave just like that? That’s absolutely impossible!”

Liu Xia rolled her eyes and walked out of her grief. What she should do now was to minimize the damage caused by the house being burned down. It would be best if she could get some money from these two people.

Yun Xi sneered. All the fishermen present could testify that this house was burned down by her son. What did it have to do with the two of them? If they were to really talk about it, the two of them would still be victims!

“During the period when you lived in my house, you’ve destroyed my house to such a state. You must compensate me according to the price.”

Due to her frequent accounting, Liu Xia always carried an abacus with her. Now that she took it out and fiddled with it, she finally came up with a number.

“If you want to leave, you need to compensate me with 500 yuan. Let me renovate this wall properly!”

The people around put out the fire and were about to leave. However, when they saw the owner and the customers quarreling, they all stopped in their tracks and prepared to watch the show.

“What you said is really funny! Everyone present saw that the fire was lit when the children were playing. Furthermore, your son is still standing here, holding a match in his hand and his body is covered in dust from the burning leaves. Aren’t you finding it ridiculous to shift the blame onto the two of us now?”

Justice was in the hearts of the people!

The people around also nodded. What Yun Xi said was indeed reasonable. There was a head for every grievance, and there was a debtor for every debt. Just because the customer stayed in this room, they couldn’t blame the customer for everything that happened in this room.

After all, the ‘mastermind’ was standing there with a box of matches in his hand. He looked very lost.

“What does a child know? He’s only five years old! When you adults saw him lighting a fire behind us, don’t you know to stop him in time? If this house was yours, you might have stopped him, right? So it’s because you didn’t stop him from lighting a fire here in time that led to the current situation.”

Liu Xia’s mouth did not allow others to say anything. She quickly thought of a response.

The surrounding fishermen began to change their attitudes. They felt that what Liu Xia said made some sense.

The mistakes of children and the adults’ failure to stop them in time also had a certain relationship.

Moreover, they were from the same village. These fishermen were biased toward Liu Xia from the bottom of their hearts.

Yun Xi sneered.

Liu Xia was really putting all the blame on others.

“You’ve lived in this house for the longest time, haven’t you? Don’t you know what kind of structure the room is?”

Yun Xi was not a pushover either. She started to argue with this wicked boss.

“The kitchen is placed on the easternmost side. You can’t see the situation behind the house at all. I was sleeping at that time, so I naturally couldn’t see the situation outside. It’s normal that I didn’t see these children setting fire to the back of the house!”

Even though part of the house had been burned to the ground, many of the houses here had similar structures, so the villagers all agreed with Yun Xi’s statement.

“Furthermore, there was no such situation where we didn’t stop them from setting fire to the house. At that time, one of us was cooking while the other was sleeping. If the fire really spread without being noticed, the two of us would be the ones who would be injured in the end. If we lose our money, we can still earn it back. However, if we lose our lives, we won’t have the chance to do it again.”

When the topic of life was brought up, everyone started to take it seriously. Indeed, in the face of life, all benefits had to be given up. Without life, everything would be gone.

Yun Xi and the others would definitely not let their lives go unchecked and let these children deliberately set the fire.

“I don’t care, I don’t care. If it weren’t for the two of you being so aggressive and insisting on living in our house, our children wouldn’t have deliberately played pranks. It’s all because of you that we’re in this situation. No matter what you say, today’s matter is inextricably linked to the two of you. You must compensate me.”
