Chapter 217 The new home was burned

Lin Jinhui couldn't stand listening anymore and said with a cold face: "My master, why don't you talk to me? Don't offend my guests by saying things that are good for you."

The fat woman didn't expect Lin Jinhui to be so disrespectful. She couldn't keep it on her face, but she endured it and said with an awkward smile: "The miracle doctor..."

Lin Jinhui pointed at Su Qin and said, "Kowtow to her and admit your mistake, and you will have a chance to recover your son."

The fat woman immediately screamed, "Why? A beggar wants me, a sixth-grade general judge, to apologize to her, because she is not afraid that she will be struck to death by lightning because she cannot bear it."

Su Qin originally wanted to chat, but now she had nothing to think about. She stood up and took a look at the sky, and said calmly: "We just bought a house and we have to clean it up now."

After saying that, he looked at Shui Ling and neither of them wanted to stay.

Shui Ling nodded and looked at Zhao Furong, who had a look of reluctance on her face, "We'll be packing up our new house these days. I'll come over to see you when I have time."

"Hmm." Zhao Furong's face turned red again, and she nodded fiercely, fearing that she would blow off her little head.

Su Qin passed by the fat woman. Lin Jinhui opened her mouth but couldn't think of a reason to stay. She was particularly angry with this Mrs. Tongpan.

But she still said: "I will send some women to help you."

"No, we can do it." Su Qin shook his head and refused her kindness.

Lin Jinhui frowned. Normally Su Qin would never refuse, and would even shamelessly ask for a few more people. Today he looked really angry.

That's all, I'll apologize another day, let's deal with this Mrs. Tongpan first, after all, the salt affairs of Fucheng are still in other people's hands.

Su Qin and Shui Ling went out, and Shui Ling waved to the concierge, "Help me take this bag of polished rice to the kitchen." After that, she stuffed a piece of silver into the concierge.

The concierge was flattered and declined, "No, no, I will send the rice intact."

Shui Ling smiled and said: "It can't be in vain, so don't be polite."

The concierge was a middle-aged man, with a naive smile on his dark face, "Thank you, Miss Shui." He recognized this family.

Shui Ling nodded and drove away with Su Qin without waiting for Shui Zheran. The bionic horse's mind was like a navigation system, so just tell it the place and it would go there by itself.

Shui Ling couldn't help but chuckle while sitting in the car, "Will you write about Shui Zhai in the future? It always feels weird."

Su Qin also nodded and said: "Yeah, it's quite strange, but what's the use of buying a house? We can't live in it permanently."

"If you buy it, it's considered real estate." Shui Ling said with a smile.

As soon as the carriage turned into the street where their new house was located, they saw thick smoke billowing in the middle of the street, and people inside were shouting and drinking.

Shui Ling felt nervous, "Could it be that our house is on fire?"

They speeded up and came to the door. Many people came in and out, all carrying buckets and their faces were stained.

Su Qin asked nervously: "What's going on inside?"

A man wiped his face with his sleeve and said: "All the houses in the inner courtyard are on fire. Now only the front hall is intact. Are you the master of this family?"

Su Qin nodded, "Yes, the house we bought today was still in good condition when we left."

The man was a little embarrassed, "I live next door to you. The children at home were naughty and lit the mice on fire. The mice scurried into your house, so..."

After a pause, he continued: "Don't worry, I will compensate you for your losses. I wonder if one hundred taels is enough?"

Su Qin instantly felt that this neighbor was a good neighbor, so he asked with a smile: "Has the fire inside been extinguished? Is anyone injured?"

The man shook his head, "It hasn't been completely extinguished yet, and no one was injured. Even the well in the yard was filled in by the previous owner, so he had to go to my house to fetch water, and that was the delay."

Su Qin was relieved when he saw that no one was injured. It was a rundown house anyway, so it would be gone if it wasn't there. They were still willing to compensate.

At this moment, a woman ran over with a seven or eight-year-old boy in her arms. Her hair was spread out because she was running so fast.

"My lord, my lord, something is wrong with Wen'er. Are you scared?"

The man took the child. The child's eyes were half-opened, dull and scary. His little fists were tightly clenched, and his whole body was as tense as a fully-drawn bow.

When Su Qin saw it, she immediately snatched the child into her hands and used first-aid methods to compress the abdomen. She lifted it up several times, but the people next to her were unhappy.

"What are you doing? Even if you burn down your shabby house, you can't take it out on your child."

"It's just that the child is young and immature. Besides, I don't want to default on my debt."

"What a poisonous woman..."

Both the man and the woman were dumbfounded and wanted to snatch the child, but Shuiling pushed them.

Shui Ling said: "Don't go there, there's something stuck in the child's throat and it needs to be removed."

When Su Qin lifted it up for the eighth time, the boy opened his mouth and spit out a piece of candied plum.

He gasped for breath, as if he wanted to suck all the air in the world into his stomach.

The couple shed tears instantly, and the child lived.

Although the boy was only eight or nine years old, he was very knowledgeable about etiquette. He turned around and bowed deeply to Su Qin, "Thank you aunt for saving me."

Su Qin liked well-behaved and beautiful children. He immediately helped him up and said with a smile: "You are not young anymore, why are you eating so carelessly?"

The boy's face turned red, "My younger brother was naughty and set the room next door on fire. I became anxious..."

Su Qin was glad that he came back in time, otherwise the child would have been gone.

Fortunately, the candied fruit did not completely block the trachea, so he could wait until next time.

The couple knelt down to Su Qin with a bang, and kowtowed together, "Thank you, eldest sister, for saving my life..."

Shui Ling did not step forward. This is a matter between adults, so children should not get involved.

However, she took a look at the faces of the people around her. Those who had made rude remarks just now looked embarrassed, and three of them sneaked away.

Two women in their forties walked up to Su Qin, and each of them bowed and apologized apologetically.

Su Qin waved his hand generously, and the people watching the excitement dispersed after a while.

The man said apologetically: "Your house was burned down, why not go to my house and stay there first."

Su Qin waved his hand, "No, we don't lack a place to live. We still need to tidy up here. You go back first. Your child will probably be frightened. Go back and get some tea to calm down the shock."

"Hey... we live on the right side. If you need anything, just call us." The man waved his hand, and the servant who was helping ran out.

Shui Ling thought this man was quite interesting. He wasn't well-dressed, but he could live in a big house and command servants.

Shui Ling and Su Qin came to the backyard. The house that was originally repairable and habitable now collapsed and was still smoking.

The location of the Buddhist hall was the most severely burned. Shui Ling felt something was wrong, so he walked over and used a stick to pull out the ashes.
