Da Wa lit the fire stick and threw it upwards. The orange flames left a beautiful parabola in the night sky.

The roof of this house was piled with straw, and it was dry in season. It burned instantly, and the flames jumped very high.

After a while, the fire spread from the roof to the entire yard.

"Stop being stunned! Let's go!" Su Liu saw that Da Wa was still in a daze, so she quickly picked him up and ran towards home.

The big boy was pulled by her, looking a little dazed, and couldn't help but look back.

The dark and damp house in my memory was being engulfed by fire, and a lone line of smoke rose up and broke through the sky.

Is this what is called revenge?It seems it's not too late.

A feeling of joy arises spontaneously, which is a farewell to the past and an announcement of new life.

"The water is gone! The water is gone!"

After running out for a few steps, the two heard movement behind them, so they quickened their pace and managed to escape before the villagers saw them.

When I got home, the yard was still as quiet as if nothing had happened.

"What happened today is a secret between you and me. Don't tell others." Before entering the house, Su Liuzhuangdawa warned.

"Can't daddy say it too?" The eldest child didn't understand.

Su Liu nodded firmly. She felt that Shen Luochen had helped her clean up a lot of "mess", so it was better not to let him get involved in this matter.

The eldest child nodded in understanding and went back to his room obediently.

The next day, the news that the Shen family's ancestral home was burned spread throughout the village.

Although the fire was quickly discovered and extinguished by the villagers, the old house had already been burned beyond recognition.

It is said that the old lady almost fainted after seeing that scene and is now furious, searching the whole village for the arsonist.

When Shen Luochen heard what the villagers said, he was a little surprised inside, but his face remained calm.

"Be careful whoever your grandma catches and bites now." The villager who came to report to him reminded him in a low voice.

"Okay." Shen Luochen nodded slightly and expressed his gratitude.

It turned out that the old lady found the burnt fire certificate in the yard. Knowing that the incident was probably man-made, she was going door to door in the village to inquire.

Little did they know that this move also angered many innocent villagers who were implicated. After all, who wants to be suspected for no reason.

Soon, the old lady found Shen Luochen's house.

Of course she didn't have a good face when facing the "key suspect", and she started to feel weird as soon as she entered the door.

"You did such a treacherous thing, and now you're still pretending to be fine."

She was very confident because behind her were the villagers who helped put out the fire last night, as well as the village chief of Xinghua Village.

In this case, Shen Luochen would definitely not dare to do anything to himself.

Shen Luochen was carrying water. Hearing this, he put down his burden and looked confused:
"whats the matter?"

"You're still pretending to be stupid now. My house has been attacked. Wouldn't you know about such a big thing?"

The old lady pointed at his nose and scolded him.

Shen Luochen completely ignored her and continued to act stupid:

"This matter has nothing to do with me. I just woke up."

The old lady snorted coldly and said, "Whether it matters or not, I'll find out after I check it out. Let me ask you, can you still find the firewood that was used to light the fire in your house?"

Xinghua Village is relatively remote and backward, so Huozhezi is a rare thing. Most families don't have it. Even if they do, there is usually only one, which is used to make fire for cooking.

So she took it for granted that anyone who couldn't get it out was the arsonist.Before Shen Luochen could answer, a voice came from behind:
"Of course there is."

With a bright smile on her face, Su Liu raised the things in her hands. She had long expected that Lao Deng would come to check, and she had already exchanged the coupons from the military supply market.

Seeing Su Liu's open attitude, everyone became less suspicious of her and Shen Luochen.

Now, it was the old lady's turn to panic.

"Even if the fire has nothing to do with you, but the Shen family's ancestral home was burned down, as juniors, do you have to prepare a new house for me to retire in?"

She once again brought up the relationship, and the meaning of her words was directed at Shen Luochen's current real estate.

This unabashed greed made the surrounding villagers a little surprised and filled with contempt.

"Oh? Didn't I tell you last time that I have nothing to do with the Shen family?" Shen Luochen responded calmly.

But his response made the crowd of onlookers explode: What?Is the Shen family going to split up?How can you miss this excitement!
Hearing the whispers around her, the old lady looked very unhappy:
"I have never agreed to the division of the family. If you insist on dividing the family, please return the property of my Shen family."

"That's what my parents left for me. I won't hand it over." Shen Luochen refused decisively.

Su Liu saw the right moment, walked up to the head of Xinghua Village, and said with a smile:

"It just so happens that today the village chief and all the fellow villagers are witnessing it. Let's explain the separation of the family clearly. How about that?"

Shen Luochen nodded very cooperatively, and the village chief felt a little ashamed. In this village, only the Shen family had so many things going on all day long.

If they divide their homes, maybe they can be a little cleaner.

So, the village chief coughed lightly and followed Su Liu's words and said:

"Since Luochen's wife has spoken today, I will be the witness."

Soon some villagers found paper and pen, and the village chief drafted and wrote a family separation treaty.

Naturally, Su Liu was watching the whole process.

As long as she returns the property and real estate belonging to Shen Luochen, they don't care about the rest.

The old lady only glanced at him and turned away.

"Just this division, don't even think about it!"

The situation was at a stalemate for a while, and the old lady refused to sign the treaty no matter what.

The villagers had already criticized the old lady because of her house-to-house inspection in the morning. Now that she was making trouble unreasonably, some people who couldn't stand it came forward.

"Old lady Shen, you should have checked, and you have checked. Your grandson was not responsible for the fire. Why should I compensate you for the house?"

"That's right. I think this division is quite fair. You should sign it as soon as possible."

The crowd suddenly became noisy, and the old lady's expression became worse and worse, but she still refused to fight to death.

After all, she is an old woman, and there is nothing anyone can do to her except to accuse her.

In the end, it was Su Liu who spoke first:
"Luochen! Grandma can't hold the pen anymore? Go and help her."

After hearing her words, Shen Luochen instantly understood what she meant and stepped forward step by step.

"What, what are you going to do! I'm warning you, don't touch me!" The old lady was frightened by his appearance, and she even stuttered when she spoke.

Shen Luochen was approaching step by step, and the feeling of oppression could not be overshadowed.

In the end, Shen Luochen pressed the old lady's hand and signed the agreement.
