"Kang Xiaoqiao, you did it on purpose. Do you think you can shirk responsibility just because you don't know how to light a fire? No way, I will definitely report this matter. If one day, it happens again, no one will know how they died."
Liu Haiying's words were a little too harsh. In fact, the matter of the fire was not a big deal, but it depended on how they treated it.
Although the house was on fire, it did not actually cause any major damage. It was just that the walls of the house had been blackened by the smoke, and some of the sundries had caught fire. The worst thing was the cupboard, which was on the verge of falling apart from the fire. Everyone's main target for putting out the fire was only this cupboard.
To be honest, this family was so poor that they did not even have a few decent igniting equipment. Therefore, they dispersed after saying a few words. However, if this matter was to be exposed to the ministry, Kang Xiaoqiao would definitely be criticized and educated.
After all, fire prevention was a big matter. Even in the future of modern technology, fire prevention was still the top priority.
Thinking of this, Kang Xiaoqiao felt sullen. When she left, she had clearly moved the soft materials on the edge of the stove aside. Why was it still on fire?
Kang Xiaoqiao didn't understand, but she couldn't let Liu Haiying continue to cause trouble. At this moment, there were already many people surrounding her. Some of them knew her, and some were seeing her for the first time. Some were gloating, and some had bright eyes and were excited to watch the show. There were also some who were cowering.
Kang Xiaoqiao was puzzled. Why were they cowering when they were here to put out the fire and watch the show? However, she did not care. There were not many people in the room, but everyone was listening at the door with their ears perked up.
Therefore, Kang Xiaoqiao's eyes curved. After that, she looked down again. With a shy and embarrassed face, she said helplessly, "Um, Sister-in-law Liu, I, I really did not do it on purpose."
"Actually, when I was at home, I also helped sister-in-law. I was just not very familiar with it."
"The reason I thought of cooking this time is mainly because, mainly because..."
At this point, Kang Xiaoqiao's face turned red, while Liu Haiying said disdainfully, "Humph, you're making it up. Keep making it up. I want to see if you can make something up."
In the face of Liu Haiying's provocation, the corner of Kang Xiaoqiao's mouth curled up a little. Then, she disappeared immediately, as if nothing had happened.
Then... With a sincere face, she said to Liu Haiying, "Sister-in-law Liu, I've already apologized to you this morning. It's my fault for beating you yesterday, but you can't, can't frame people like this. This is a new socialist country. It's time for reform and opening up. It's not the time back then where you can be a bully as long as you don't go above the line."
After saying that, a pair of big black and white eyes looked straight over, stabbing Liu Haiying like a knife.
Liu Haiying immediately quibbled, "Don't talk nonsense. I know what you mean by reform and opening up, but when did I go above the line to humiliate people? Don't talk nonsense."
Hearing that, Kang Xiaoqiao looked at her indifferently. The aura on her body changed, and her small body became straight. She looked at Liu Haiying with disdain and continued, "We all know who is talking nonsense. I don't know how I have offended Sister-in-law Liu so ruthlessly. She won't let me off. If the old society was really killed by your sharp mouth, there would be no room for reasoning."
"But..."
At this point, Kang Xiaoqiao's expression turned cold and stern. Her large eyes narrowed slightly. She said coldly, "But it's a new society now. Your previous methods of dealing with people are no longer effective. I don't care how many people you have harmed in the past, but don't even think about harming others in the future. Hmph, the eyes of the masses are bright."
After saying this, she looked calmly at Liu Haiying's livid face. To be honest, Liu Haiying might be impulsive and not very smart, but her methods were indeed quite good. It could be seen from the previous confrontation.
She must have succeeded before. Otherwise, she wouldn't have used so many tricks. At this moment, seeing her livid face and restless expression, she was even more certain.
After a few breaths of time, Kang Xiaoqiao retracted her aura. With a sincere face, she continued, "Yes, it was my fault today. I didn't watch the fire well and almost made a big mistake, causing everyone to go through so much trouble to help put out the fire. I really want to thank the sisters-in-law for their warm help. This is indeed my fault for making everyone worried."
After saying this, she pursed her lips. With a somewhat pitiful and aggrieved expression, she said, "But, I really didn't do it on purpose. Sister-in-law Wang, Sister-in-law Zhao, and the other sisters-in-law, you all know that Yichen, Yichen has been gone for many days..."
Saying this... With a face full of aggrievement and a little stubbornness, she looked at everyone and continued, "We, we just got married. But, the days we spent together can be counted on one hand. Yes, he's a Wilderness man. He has to carry out missions and contribute to the country and the people. I can't stop him, can't ask about it, and can't say anything."
"But, since I'm married to him, I naturally want to live a good life with him. I don't know how to cook, but I can learn. I just want to cook a delicious meal for our Yichen."
"Besides, I've heard the old man say that to capture a man's heart, the first thing to do is to capture a man's stomach. I, I..."
At this point, Kang Xiaoqiao couldn't help but blush again. Her face was so shy that she couldn't continue.
When the people around heard this, they couldn't help but burst into laughter. No one had expected Kang Xiaoqiao to be so down-to-earth and say such words.
In addition, she was young, with big watery eyes, long eyelashes, furry hair, and a red face. She looked so shy that no one knew what to say, which made everyone laugh.
This person was good-looking, and it was easy to gain the favor of others. In addition to her silly and naive words, in front of these wild sisters-in-law, she would only feel more adorable. What else was there?
The solemn atmosphere from before also disappeared in an instant. Not only that, there were those with a straightforward personality who even teased Lu Yichen, saying that he had married a good wife and was blessed. No one paid attention to Liu Haiying at all.
Everyone was still very tolerant towards their new daughter-in-law, not to mention a pretty girl who spoke in a relaxed manner, neither servile nor overbearing, with a little naivety.
Although Kang Xiaoqiao's words were a little naive, it was indeed the truth. Although the days that could be counted with one hand were a little exaggerated, the men in the department left so easily, not even asking a single question... Everyone could understand. These words touched their hearts, and there was also a kind of sympathy in them.
PS:
Duoduo had already seen everyone's comments. Thank you for your encouragement and support. I was really happy to see so many comments. Before this, Duoduo was worried that everyone would leave me. Now, her heart was finally at ease. Mwah, thank you, but... Duoduo had thickened her skin to ask for recommendation tickets again!
During the new book's ranking, recommendation tickets were very important. Everyone had to vote for Duoduo. Mwah--
