Chapter 1771 I Am a Virtuous Woman 57

Before they even got to the tavern, they saw that it had been engulfed by raging flames.

Wang Wanlian stood there blankly, not knowing what to do for a moment.

The fat woman was stunned for a moment, then she moved, crying and shouting.

"My things are still in there, you have to give them back to me!"

The fat woman pulled Wang Wanlian and refused to give up. Wang Wanlian looked at the engulfing flames in front of her and didn't know what to do.

Because the house was very old, once it was burned, it spread all of a sudden.

Although many people went to put out the fire, it still affected the surrounding houses. ,

Some people went in to see and found that Xu's mother had died, and her whole body had been burned into black charcoal.

Some people ran to the government office, and soon the people from the county government came over. After understanding the situation, they took Wang Wanlian away.

Wang Wanlian explained for a long time in the county government, and said all the good words, and finally gave thirty taels, so that he could get out.

Originally, it was because Xu's mother had deliberately set the fire, so it had no direct relationship with Wang Wanlian. So later, she gave money and asked Wang Wanlian to bury Xu's mother and compensate for all the losses. This matter was understood.

Wang Wanlian had just left the county government office, and many people surrounded Wang Wanlian in the middle and kept scolding her.

Wang Wanlian kept smiling, and didn't know what to say.

"You, woman, are too black-hearted. You made people don't want their own daughter anymore, and they are like strangers. On the other hand, you drove people out and made them have no place to live... That's why they committed suicide. You are so black-hearted, you are a deadly star!"

People around started to scold.

Some people even took a piece of mud and threw it on Wang Wanlian.

"Stop it, can't I pay the money?"

Wang Wanlian kept dodging. Anyway, the county magistrate asked her to pay the money, and it would be fine if she paid the money!

"Pah!"

Wang Wanlian dodged and returned to her home.

As soon as she returned, Li's mother started to scold her again.

When Li's mother was exhausted from scolding, Wang Wanlian returned to her room and searched through the boxes and cabinets. Finally, she found that after such a long time, she only had 60 taels of silver.

Looking at the two families around, the losses were not very serious. It would be enough to compensate 20 taels for each family. The fat woman's house had almost nothing. Basically, the things inside were all from her family.

Thinking that the silver on hand was enough for her to use, she felt relieved.

But Xu's mother, that person, she would not spend money on her.

Humph, I don't know what evil has happened to her. She even had the courage to commit suicide all of a sudden, and she wasted so much of her money on this.

It's really nonsense.

When Wang Wanlian thought of so much money, she felt a pain in her flesh.

But later, the price that Wang Wanlian had calculated was not completed at all.

The two families asked for thirty taels each, but Wang Wanlian refused to give them the money, so they started to make a scene and went to the government to sue her.

Wang Wanlian was frightened when she went to the government.

That was not a government, it was a den of thieves.
