The oil mill was filled with flames and thick smoke.
Such a big fire cannot be extinguished.
Fortunately, it was surrounded by fields and no other homes were affected.
"This……"
Grandpa Chen Hao was heartbroken.
"What's going on?!"
Liu Guiwen grabbed his brother Liu Guicheng's collar and became emotional.
In the past, Chen Hao's grandfather and uncle took turns working at the oil mill at night.
Tonight, Liu Guicheng saw that his father and elder brother had drunk too much, so he asked them to sleep at home. He came to the oil shop to guard, but such a big mess happened. At this moment, he was both scared and blamed himself.
He was speechless.
"say something!"
Liu Guiwen yelled.
The disgraced Liu Guicheng said: "I don't know how the fire started. If the thick smoke hadn't choked me, I would have woken up in time and I would have been burned to death."
boom!
The burning oil mill collapsed.
The flames roared and sparks flew.
The Liu family stepped back a few meters, feeling extremely heavy.
Chen Hao also frowned, not because he felt sorry for the oil shop, but because he was wondering whether it was arson.
Tian Caiying, who was standing behind the Liu family, couldn't help but curl her lips, somewhat gloating about the misfortune.
There are many people with dark hearts in this world who are happy to see people who are stronger than themselves suffer misfortune, even if this person is a relative.
"The village chief is here!"
Someone shouted.
Everyone looked sideways.
Village chief Zhao Bao walked over with his three sons and son-in-law with their hands behind their backs and expressionless faces.
The villagers who watched onlookers made way for the Zhao family were obviously frightened.
"Did your Zhao family burn my oil mill?!"
Chen Hao's uncle Liu Guicheng rushed up and pointed angrily at Zhao Bao.
Two years ago, when the Liu family was building an oil mill, Zhao Bao led some people to smash it up. The two sides clashed, which alerted the county bureau. From then on, the two families became at odds with each other, so Liu Guicheng suspected that the Zhao family had set the fire.
"Your oil shop caught fire, what does it have to do with us?!"
"In the middle of the night, our whole family came to put out the fire with good intentions, but you turned out to be bloody!"
"Don't point at my dad!"
The eldest, second and third son of the Zhao family glared and yelled at Liu Guicheng, and Zhao Laosan even pushed Liu Guicheng.
Liu Guicheng shook his fist in anger.
The two men struggled.
Chen Hao reacted the fastest. He stepped forward and pulled the two of them away. He stood in front of his uncle Liu Guicheng. He stared at the Zhao family and said, "If it is your Zhao family who sets fire to the oil mill, I will not let you go."
"Little brat, who do you think you are? I'm going to beat you up now to see what you can do." Zhao Laosan was so arrogant that he picked up a stone from the ground and wanted to hit Chen Hao.
Zhao Bao did not stop his third son.
After enduring the old Liu family for two years, he didn't plan to endure it anymore tonight. He thought to himself: Only when he opens the ladle and sees some blood can the Liu family know how to respect him.
Chen Hao raised his foot and kicked Zhao Laosan down.
Zhao Lao Er, the eldest brother of Zhao, was furious and rushed towards Chen Hao.
There was no suspense in the result. Chen Hao defeated Zhao Laoer and Zhao Laoer cleanly and neatly, but did not show too scary methods. This was not because he was merciful, but because he was afraid of scaring his own family.
Especially his grandparents were present.
"You...you wait!"
Zhao Bao's face was livid, and he pointed at Chen Hao, and then at the rest of the old Liu family. They were humiliated in public, and he swore in his heart that he would kill this family.
Zhao Lao, Zhao Lao, Zhao Lao Er, Zhao Lao San, got up and stared at Chen Hao with gritted teeth.
"go!"
Zhao Bao gave a sharp shout, turned and left.
"Baby, wait!"
Zhao Laosan spit on the ground viciously.
The disgraced Zhao family left.
The onlookers looked at the Liu family silently.
Recently, they all heard that the county magistrate of the old Liu family was dismissed. The new county magistrate was Zhao Bao's distant nephew. Furthermore, Zhao Bao was able to run rampant in Liujiagou for more than ten years because his eldest brother was the county magistrate before he retired. The top leader of the bureau, his nephew is a ruthless person in the county.
Now that Zhao Bao has the support of his distant nephew and his own nephew, the old Liu family is about to be finished!
The Liu family suspected that the Zhao family had set the fire and were very angry.
"There is still a lot of flax oil in the oil mill. This fire and the oil in the oil mill will burn down our family's 200,000 yuan..." Liu Guiwen, Chen Hao's uncle, was heartbroken.
"Rebuilding the oil mill will require an investment of over 100,000 yuan."
Chen Hao's second aunt Liu Lizhen sighed.
Grandpa Chen Hao’s face became increasingly ugly.
"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, second aunt, and uncle, I will give you 500,000 yuan, and we will build a bigger and better oil mill. In the future, our oil mill will become a well-known enterprise in the town and even the county."
Everyone present heard Chen Hao's words clearly.
Half a million.
Most of the villagers gasped.
For them, this is a huge sum of money that they cannot earn in a lifetime.
"Who is this kid? He is so loud?"
"This is the son of the eldest daughter of the Liu family. He was the top scorer in the province's college entrance examination and was admitted to Qinghua University. It is said that he made a lot of money from stock trading and business. He funded the Liu family's oil mill."
"No wonder."
"The car I drive costs more than one million."
"A car worth more than one million yuan is so expensive. Is it gold-plated or silver-plated?"
"No matter how rich he is, he can't defeat the Zhao family now. The county magistrate is related to the Zhao family, and the county magistrate is a Bailihou. The ancients said that the county magistrate of the Po family was not just a random talk."
"That's right, having money is worse than having power."
The villagers whispered among themselves.
"Five million?"
Tian Caiying glared at Chen Hao, feeling more and more that Chen Hao was stingy and only lent her 100,000 yuan. She immediately worried about whether Chen Hao could give her another 100,000 yuan if he offered 500,000 yuan to rebuild the oil mill.
"Haohao, don't forget my aunt's one hundred thousand."
When Tian Caiying said this, the Liu family was speechless.
Liu's oil shop was burned down and the loss was so heavy. This relative was indifferent and only cared about whether he could borrow money.
Chen Hao glanced at his aunt coldly, not hiding his inner disgust.
"What should we do now?"
Liu Liping asked her son.
"Call the police..."
Chen Hao took out his mobile phone and found that there was no signal.
Liu Guiwen said: "Mobile phones can be used in the town. There are public telephones in the town, and there are also telephones in the village chief's office and the supply and marketing cooperative, but Zhao Bao will definitely not let us use them."
"Brother, isn't our house equipped with a telephone?"
Liu Liping frowned and looked at Liu Guiwen.
Liu Guiwen said with a grimace: "Our phone is installed in the oil workshop. Isn't it burned down?"
"I'll take Liu Yang to town tomorrow morning. It only takes an hour to drive back and forth. You all should go back and rest. I'll guard here." Chen Hao wanted to guard the burned-out oil mill to prevent anyone from damaging the scene.
Man-made arson, especially arson with gasoline and diesel, may leave traces.
Tomorrow, he will ask the Toyokawa City Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division to intervene in the investigation.
Grandpa Chen Hao said: "You finally came back to celebrate the festival, how can you stay here? Go home and let Liu Kai and Liu Yang stay here!"
Liu Kai, the eldest son of Chen Hao's uncle Liu Guiwen, is also the grandson of the old Liu.
"Grandpa..."
"If you insist on staying here, we are all here to accompany you."
Grandpa Chen Hao was determined.
Chen Hao had no choice but to obey.
