A large fire that had already spread widely was quickly extinguished by the arriving firefighters, much to the villagers' relief, though it also sparked some gossip.
Since the fire was caused by Wu Dade's son, compensation would be unavoidable. But given Wu Dade's poor circumstances, how could he repay so much grain?
Moreover, the daughters-in-law of the Liu Family are quite tough and assertive; they would definitely demand a lot. For Wu Dade and his wife, peaceful days seemed out of reach.
Wu Mingming was really a troublesome boy, playing with fire in the wheat field. Now, his parents were horribly implicated! Anyone with such a child would certainly feel cursed!
As villagers uninvolved with the matter looked forward to a good show, they found both sides surprisingly silent. How could such a major issue of burned crops go so quiet so quickly?
