The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 121 Fire Speculation
When I first entered the village, I saw villagers gathering in twos and threes at the head of the village, talking about something.

Cheng Haiyi got off the bicycle. He didn't originally intend to let Cheng's mother get off, so he just pushed her back.But Cheng's mother insisted on coming down. She felt that sitting on the bicycle like this made her look like a useless person.

Bai Meixi quickly got off her bicycle, set it up, ran to Cheng Haiyi, and helped Cheng's mother down.

Cheng's mother was also curious about what the villagers were discussing when they gathered together.Bai Meixi saw her intention and helped her to the front of the villagers. Cheng's mother looked at one of the villagers and asked, "Old Wang, what's going on?"

Lao Wang looked at his mother, looked at her and asked, "Nothing, just guessing the cause of the fire together!"

"Have you found out the reason?" Cheng's mother asked.

"The cause was not found, but the fire point was found." Lao Wang responded.

"Where did the fire start?" Cheng's mother asked.

"Yao Family Ancestral Hall." Lao Wang responded: "How is your medical condition?"

"It's nothing serious, it's just a twist of the waist." Cheng's mother responded.Then he stood around and started listening.

"Mom, why did the Yao family's ancestral hall catch on fire?" Bai Meixi looked at Cheng's mother and asked.Most of the ancestral halls are used to worship ancestors. How could it cause such a big fire with only the flame of incense?

"The Yao Family Ancestral Hall was originally an ancestral hall, but after the Yao family took their families overseas, it became a granary. All the food in the commune was piled in the Yao Family Ancestral Hall." Cheng's mother explained to Bai Meixi, Then he motioned to her to listen to what the villagers had to say.

After hearing what Chengmu said, Bai Meixi also understood.No wonder it caused such a big fire, it turned out there was so much food!Once the food caught fire, it spread throughout the house.

"Let me tell you! It's just that some bad elements deliberately sabotaged it. They couldn't see that our Yao family compound had so much food stored in it, so they deliberately prevented fires and wanted to burn all our food."

Someone's voice rang out, otherwise how could a perfectly good granary catch fire?You know, the source of fire must be eliminated in the granary, just to avoid any accident.Fortunately, the granary caught fire like this. How could it not arouse people's speculation?

"I think so. Some people have bad intentions and cannot see the good things in others."

"This is a real attempt to bring down the people in our Yao Family Courtyard!"

"That's it! Such a large amount of food is wasted like this, which will be punished by God. What's more, it has now spread to our entire Yao family compound, making our entire village homeless. .”

"Isn't that right? Such bad elements should be cut into pieces if caught. They really hate people."

"I don't think so." A different voice sounded, stopping their conversation: "I think it's more like the ancestors of the Yao family don't like us, and they came here to punish us all!"

"You are talking about superstition. There is nothing about ancestors who are not ancestors. Even if we are ancestors, how can it be so mysterious? Are you punishing us? Why should they punish us?" "Have you forgotten? We live now. But the Yao Family Courtyard! After the Yao family members took their families overseas, we were assigned to live in this Yao Family Courtyard. We must have offended the ancestors of the Yao family."

This man spoke clearly and logically, as if this was really the case.

"I think so too. Otherwise, if our granary has always been fire-proofed, how could it have caught such a big fire? The ancestors of the Yao family, this is because they resent us for occupying the house in the Yao family's courtyard."

Some supporters began to believe this superstitious statement.After all, people of this generation basically come from the superstitious traditions of the older generation, and the deep-rooted superstitious beliefs are still deeply imprinted in their bones.

"That's right! In the past, every household of ours was a tenant farmer of the Yao family, but now we have become the owners of the Yao family's courtyard. Do you think the ancestors of the Yao family can hold back such a breath? It must be a deliberate punishment. Let’s, take revenge on us!”

"That's it, since liberation, we have become the masters. The Yao family has exploited us all our lives, and suddenly we have become the masters. The ancestors of the Yao family must be unwilling to do so. They are deliberately bringing disaster to us!"

Superstitious people naturally have superstitious opinions.They always believe that people have souls after death, and the souls of the ancestors of the Yao family are above, and it is impossible to let them go so easily.Although the peasants became masters after liberation, in their hearts, the ancestors of the Yao family must have felt that there was an imbalance, and it was reasonable to want to take revenge on them.

After discussing for so long, the other party who did not believe in superstition still insisted that there were bad elements and asked the village chief to investigate in the direction of the bad elements.After all, if it were believed to be a superstitious theory of revenge by the ancestors of the Yao family, they would have to bear all the losses in vain.

But even so, the villagers know it well. Even if it is not a superstitious statement, it is probably impossible to find the real bad elements.

"..."

There are different opinions, whatever you say.Bai Meixi shook her head helplessly. She didn't expect that there is such a superstitious statement now.And she also learned from these conversations that the people in the Yao family compound were originally tenant farmers of the Yao family?

There may be many reasons why a granary is on fire. A single spark can start a prairie fire.The entire granary is on fire, and it will definitely spread to the entire Yao family compound.

But no matter what the reason was, it was useless to say anything now. The fire had broken out and the damage had been done.I'm afraid it's not that simple to trace the cause of the fire now.Even if some bad elements have bad intentions and want to destroy the granary in the Yao family compound, they probably won't leave any traces.What's more, in this underdeveloped era, there is no surveillance and no witnesses, so it is extremely difficult to find evidence.

Cheng's mother's back pain was severe and she couldn't stand it after standing for a long time, so she got on Cheng Haiyi's bicycle with Bai Meixi's help.Anyway, they were almost home. Cheng Haiyi didn't get on the bike, so he just pushed her. Bai Meixi pushed the bike and followed him, and the three of them strolled home.

When they got home, Cheng's father was waiting for them at the door. Cheng's father was quite worried about not coming back for such a long time.When he saw them returning, he hurriedly walked forward and asked with concern: "How are you seeing?"

"It's nothing serious, just take some medicine and you'll be fine." Cheng Haiyi comforted his father in order not to worry him.

Only then did Cheng's father nod his head with relief, and the family entered their yard together.Cheng Haiyi and Bai Meixi parked their bicycles and helped Cheng's mother into the house.
