Chapter 69: She Saved the Money
In a daze, Hua Xiali was awakened by a puff of thick smoke. She opened her eyes while coughing violently. When she saw her room turned into a sea of ​​fire with flames shooting into the sky, she was so shocked that she woke up immediately.

Her kitchen was on the other side of the main room, separated by the spacious main room. Even if there was a fire in the kitchen, it would not have spread to this side. But now this side was surrounded by flames, which showed that the fire was extremely strange.

Hua Xiali did not hesitate at all and quickly moved the box containing the money out of the space. She couldn't let her family think that the money was burned in the fire. Such a big shock would not only make her parents unable to bear it, but even her eldest sister and brother-in-law, whom she had poured so much effort into, might become seriously ill. So she wanted to let them know that she had saved the money.

When Hua Xiali ran out of the room, Zhang Yongfeng just came out of the room carrying Hua's father on his back. Hua Chunli and Hua Qiuli were also there. At this moment, Hua Xiali felt a huge sense of grievance in her heart. They all woke up, but no one came to call her. She was awakened by the thick smoke.

If they had waited until Hua's father and mother were settled before going back to the room to call her or pick her up, she would probably have been poisoned by the smoke!
Hua Xiali ran out with the box in her arms and ran straight to the door. She was about to hand the box to Hua Qiuli for safekeeping. When she went to get water to put out the fire, she saw Huo Beixi running over breathlessly. He grabbed Hua Xiali's arm and asked nervously, "How is it? Are you okay?"

Hua Xiali knew that this was not the time to be hypocritical, but facing the concern of outsiders, her eyes still reddened. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

"You go and rest aside first." Huo Beixi settled Hua Xiali at the edge of the open space in front of the door, then took a bucket and went to the well to fetch water to put out the fire.

Zhang Yongfeng carried Hua's father to Hua Xiali's side and went to put out the fire together. Now that the house was on such a big fire, nothing could be taken out, and Hua's father could only sit on the muddy ground. It has not rained so far this year, so it was okay to sit on the ground, there would just be some dust!
Hua Chunli, Hua Qiuli and Hua's mother were all sitting on the ground in shock. Their legs were so weak from fear that they couldn't move forward and they decided not to hold back.

Looking at the blazing flames, Hua's mother couldn't help crying, "All our belongings are gone, our home is gone, all our hard work over the years..."

"Mom, we only lost our house, but we still have the money!" Hua Xiali patted the box in his hand and comforted her, "If the old doesn't go, the new won't come. When my house is built, we will build a new one directly. We want to build a bigger and better house."

Today's fire was obviously man-made. I don't know if it was intended to prevent their family from rising or to retaliate against them. When we build a new house in the future, we must pay attention to fire prevention. We can't let someone else burn down the house again.

I'm going to go to the new house tomorrow and have a good talk with the team leader, asking him to think of a better solution. Even if someone really wants to burn down their house, we can't let them succeed.

Fortunately, she has always known that someone is jealous of her family, so she put Hua Chunli's college things at Huo Beixi's place early on, and today she also put the things she bought wholesale at her third uncle and fourth uncle's homes respectively, so their family's loss is not that big, there are only some old furniture in the mud brick house!
This is a good opportunity to build a bigger and better house.

"The money is still there?" Hua's mother obviously did not expect that Hua Xiali would rescue the money.

Hua Xiali opened the box, let them take a look, and then quickly closed it again. There were many people coming to put out the fire, and they couldn't let others think that their family had not suffered any losses, lest they come up with other ways.

The person was fine and the money was still there. Hua's mother finally let go of her worries. Then, she sat down on the ground as if all the strength in her body had been drained away.

"Sister, Qiuli, don't worry. There is a saying that goes, 'With misfortune comes blessing, and with misfortune comes blessing.' This is not necessarily a bad thing for us, so we should think positively. After a while, we will be able to live in a brand new big house. And the fire is burning so fiercely, doesn't this mean that our future days will be as prosperous as this fire?" The house was on fire and no one called her. As a result, she has to pretend to be relaxed to persuade them. If she doesn't wake up, she may never wake up. Does anyone know?

Who else will comfort her?
Why is it that no matter in the past life or this life, she is not the one chosen firmly by anyone?

The house was engulfed in a huge sea of ​​fire. The roof beams were burned off and fell from above. Flames were everywhere and thick smoke was billowing. The inky black sky above their roof was obviously much darker than the rest of the sky.

My third and fourth uncles heard the noise and came over with buckets. With everyone's concerted efforts, they finally put out the fire. There was still thick smoke, and they were worried, so they poured a lot of water on it.

Yu Qingxin and Yan Yishen also came. This time, there were four public security comrades in total. They surrounded Hua Xiali's house and started an investigation.

After the fire was put out, the people who came to help put out the fire also went back. Huo Beixi walked up to Hua Xiali and the others and said, "Uncle Tiefeng, Aunt Ju, I live alone and my home is big. You can go to my house tonight to rest for a while and talk about these things tomorrow, okay?"

"Secretary Huo, thank you for your help." Hua's mother said a little stiffly.

"Aunt Ju, I'm the village party secretary. It's my job to handle issues and resolve problems for the villagers. How can there be any trouble?" Huo Beixi restrained his usual sharpness. "Let's go. Let's go and have a rest first. Just leave the investigation to those comrades. They will definitely give you justice."

Everything in the house was burned. There was no point in staying here and looking at it. It was a ruin. What was there to see?
After the new house is built, all the furniture will have to be bought again.

Everyone got up from the ground, Zhang Yongfeng also carried Hua's father on his back, and then everyone walked towards Huo Beixi's house together.

At that time, rural families had quite a large population, with at least four or five people in a family. If two elderly people were included, that would make a total of seven people. So Huo Beixi's house was indeed the most suitable place to stay overnight, because his house had such a big yard, and he was the only one living there. If there were so many people in his family, it would be too much of a disturbance if we went to any other house.

Huo Beixi lived alone and had only one bed, so he gave the bed to Hua's father and mother who needed it more. Zhang Yongfeng shared a room with him, and the remaining three sisters shared a room.

Everyone was very tired and had no energy to think about washing up. After making a bed on the floor with bamboo mats and door panels, they just lay down to rest.
