Chapter 137: A Fire On The Head, A Green Fire
Jiang Yuan: 【 This is Xiao Lan’s identification information. Can you find out where she is now? 】
Si Heng quickly replied: 【 Okay, I’ll arrange it. 】
Jiang Yuan sighed in relief: 【 Thank you! 】
She put down her phone, stretched, and got up to wash.
When eating lunch, Jiang Dashan bought some braised meat back. While eating, he talked about the wild game.
“I asked a colleague, and he gave me a phone number. He said if you want to eat wild game, contact this person.” Jiang Dashan took a slip of paper out of his pocket. “The number is on it.”
“Dad, you’re really reliable.” Jiang Yuan gave him a thumbs up.
After eating, she sent the number on the slip to Si Heng: 【 I heard that if you want to eat wild game, contact this number. Do you guys want to try it? 】
Si Heng: 【 I’ll arrange it. 】
Jiang Yuan didn’t reply again. She sat cross-legged on the sofa looking at private messages.
Lan Mei leaned close to her, rubbing her with its fluffy head, “Yuan Yuan, what are you doing?”
Jiang Yuan lowered her eyes to look at it, raising an eyebrow slightly, “Is there something you need me for?”
Lan Mei nodded frankly and meowed, “I want to watch TV.”
Jiang Yuan blinked her eyes, “What do you want to watch?”
Lan Mei: “I want to watch Ultraman fight monsters.”
Jiang Yuan: “…How could you want to watch this?”
Lan Mei: “Our mother watched it for us yesterday, and it was quite good!”
Jiang Yuan pouted. Although she was a bit helpless, she still put on Ultraman for them.
Several furballs sat in a row on the sofa, even the Red-eared Slider in the ecological tank watched with relish.
Jiang Yuan watched with them for a while, then got up and went to the balcony to see if the food prepared for the birds was finished, and if so, she’d add some more.
She added grains to the bird feeder and found a bird flying over.
“Yuan Yuan, you’re home!” The little sparrow folded its wings and landed on the balcony’s guardrail. “That old hag brought the white-haired man home. Do you want to go see?”
Jiang Yuan was stunned for a few seconds. After realizing what was happening, her gaze suddenly lit up, “See? Of course I want to see.”
She returned to the living room, grabbed her phone, and made a call to Jiang Dashan, “Dad, send me Wang Hui’s phone number.”
“Why are you asking for his phone number?” Jiang Dashan felt his daughter was really strange these past few days.
Jiang Yuan: “His house caught fire. I’m calling to tell him.”
“Ah!” Jiang Dashan was startled. “Is the fire serious?”
Jiang Yuan: “It’s quite serious. Quickly send me the number.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll send it right away.” Jiang Dashan hung up the phone and hurriedly sent Wang Hui’s number to Jiang Yuan.
A colleague next to him asked, “Old Jiang, what were you just saying about the fire being serious? Where did it catch fire?”
Although Jiang Dashan disliked Cao Laoting quite a bit, he had a decent impression of Wang Hui. He frowned and said, “I heard Wang Hui’s house caught fire.”
“Ah! His house caught fire?”
The other colleagues were also startled.
“Then should we go help out?”
“Let’s go take a look. Many hands make light work.”
Jiang Dashan thought it was feasible and nodded, “Then let’s go.”
Jiang Yuan received Wang Hui’s number and went outside the community to call him from a public phone, “Uncle Wang, it’s not good, your house caught fire!”
“Caught fire?” Wang Hui was drinking tea at the workplace. He suddenly stood up, anxious, “Did you call the firefighters? I’ll be right back!”
Hearing him say that, the other colleagues also hurried out to help.
Jiang Dashan and a few colleagues encountered Wang Hui and his colleagues at the community entrance. Everyone had an anxious and worried expression on their faces.
The two groups quickly walked towards Building Three.
Jiang Yuan sat at the stone table downstairs and watched them quickly enter Building Three.
Seeing this scene, the other neighbors showed curiosity on their faces.
“What’s going on? Why is Wang Hui bringing so many people home?”
“Should we go up and take a look?”
“Let’s go.”
Jiang Yuan tilted her head slightly and saw Deng Rui make a drifting stop on her electric scooter.
“Am I late?” Deng Rui asked while taking off her helmet.
“No, you’re here just in time. They just went upstairs.” Jiang Yuan said smilingly, “Let’s go.”
The mother and daughter followed the other neighbors upstairs.
Wang Hui was taking out his key to open the door.
He suddenly felt a bit strange.
Didn’t they say the house caught fire?
Why was there no movement at all?
Wang Hui pushed open the door and found an extra pair of men’s shoes inside.
His heart suddenly sank, and a feeling of unease arose.
The people following behind him saw Wang Hui move slowly and rushed out anxiously, “Is the fire source in the kitchen? I’ll go check the kitchen.”
He brushed past Wang Hui and rushed to the kitchen, finding no fire inside at all. “Huh, there’s no fire in the kitchen. Then where did it catch fire?”
“The bedroom?” someone pointed at the closed room door. “Did someone see from the window that the bedroom caught fire?”
“Let me see!” The person who had just checked the kitchen opened the room door again and saw the scene inside. His expression suddenly changed, and he turned to look at Wang Hui.
“Why do you have that expression?” Jiang Dashan was also a bit nervous. “Is the fire very serious?”
The person pursed his lips and said with difficulty, “Wang Hui’s head is on fire, a green fire.”
Jiang Yuan, hearing this sentence at the door, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
This person is quite humorous.
Wang Hui heard this and frowned, raising his head suspiciously to the room door.
Gossip is human nature, and the others also followed behind him.
Seeing the scene in the room, everyone was so shocked their jaws almost dropped.
“This, this…”
“Sister-in-law Wang is confused!”
“Oh my, this person’s hair has turned white. How is he any better than Wang Hui?”
Cao Laoting hadn’t expected anyone to come home at all and was now flusteredly putting on her clothes.
The white-haired old man stood beside her wearing only a pair of boxer shorts.
Wang Hui’s eyes widened, his face full of anger, and he roared, “Cao Xiaoting, are you crazy???”
“What are you shouting about?” Cao Laoting said, and only then did she notice that so many people had come to her house. Her face darkened, “Are you trying to get us killed, calling so many people back?”
The white-haired old man slowly put on his clothes and pants, took out two hundred yuan bills from his pants wallet, and threw them over. “I thought your husband knew you were out doing business.”
After saying that, he rubbed his nose with his fingers and walked out through the crowd of onlookers.
Wang Hui was so angry he clenched his fists, “Are you that short of two hundred yuan?”
Cao Laoting had only this one old flame, whom she saw twice a week, charging two hundred yuan each time. For fifteen days a month, she could earn three thousand yuan.
She decided to throw caution to the wind, “Is it about two hundred yuan? It’s three thousand! Old lady can earn three thousand yuan just by lying down for a while. Can you, you useless piece of trash, do that?”
“You…” Wang Hui never expected her to be so shameless. “Do you still think it’s glorious? Are you still proud of yourself?”
Cao Laoting sneered, “I earned this money with my own abilities, and I’m proud of it.”
“You’re simply incorrigible!” Wang Hui felt his face was completely disgraced by her.
He turned and bowed to his colleagues and neighbors, “I’m sorry for making everyone witness this joke.”
