She was robbed by the leader of the family and had three children.

Chapter 946 The children set fire?

Ye Shu also asked the three little ones: "What's going on?"

"Did you set the fire in this house?"

Her voice was gentle and although there was an anxious look on her face, she was not as anxious and angry as Mrs. Jin, and she did not look scary.

The key is that the questions she asked were easier for children to answer.

So not only did San Baoer ignore Jin Saozi's words, but even Niu Baoer and Hu Baoer subconsciously responded to Ye Shu's words: "It's not us."

At the same time, the three little ones shook their heads: "We didn't light the fire."

Even Han Cheng, who was not asked a question, said, "It's not us."

Ye Shu had an idea in mind.

Standing on the sidelines, the residents of Yard 7 who had just reprimanded these children and were waiting for their parents to arrive and continue to reprimand them were even more unhappy.

They all jumped out: "Hey! Why aren't you naughty kids here? You dare to lie in front of us! This is how you educate your children! Oh, I've really learned something new!"

"If it's not you, then who else could it be? Could it be that we set the fire and wrongly accused you?"

Sanbaoer yelled softly, "It's you!"

Mrs. Jin slapped him in the face and said, "Shut up!"

But she didn't use much strength, just a symbolic slap.

She was indeed very angry before. These kids were so lawless. Playing with fire was so dangerous!

If it doesn't work well, someone might die!

However, when she heard Ye Shu's question and listened to the children's answers, she suddenly calmed down.

Yes, she may not trust her own naughty Sanbaoer, but she has to believe that her two brothers Hubaoer and Niubaoer will not act recklessly.

You also have to believe that the three little ones won't lie.

Although the three children of Ye Shu's family are naughty, they are always brave enough to take responsibility for their mistakes and will not lie when they make mistakes.

They said they didn't set the fire, and there must be other reasons for the fire.

A middle-aged woman slapped her thigh and said, "Ouch, ouch! Oh my! How can you, a child so young, talk nonsense? It was clearly you who set the fire, why are you still blaming others?"

She clutched her chest and cried out in pain. The people around her were busy, some supporting her, some trying to persuade her, and some blaming Ye Shu and the others:

"The children are still young and don't understand things, but you are adults. You can't be ignorant of the limits, right?"

"Setting fire to a house is a heinous crime! Even if you're the sons of soldiers, you should be educated for such a serious and heinous act! It might even be recorded in your file!"

"That's right! Everyone saw that it was these kids who set the fire. Why are you still trying to put it down? I've heard that the people in Courtyard No. 2 are not easy to deal with, and now we've finally seen it!"

Amidst the accusations, a voice of defense suddenly broke in:

"Did you really see them setting the fire? How could I not see anything? I only saw the kids from Yard No. 2, and some kids from our yard, and even kids from a few other yards, all lighting a fire in our yard and roasting some bird skewers."

"I didn't see the children from Yard 2 enter your house. How did the fire start? We need to investigate thoroughly. How can you just accuse a few children right away?"

The person who spoke was Zhao Lijuan, who was assigned the house in Yard No. 7.

To talk about why the children wanted to grill bird skewers in Yard No. 7, we have to start with the layout of this yard.

Originally, Courtyard No. 7 should have been a cross-courtyard or a small garden of a wealthy family. In short, its layout was different from other courtyards and it was not square.

Although it is surrounded by a square wall on the outside, the houses inside are different from other courtyards. It does not have a layout of a few main rooms, a few east and west wing rooms, a few back rooms, and a few rooms in the backyard.

There is a large open space between the west wing of Courtyard No. 7 and the west wall, which can also be considered a courtyard.

This piece of land has been left idle for a long time, and is used by the families in the west wing to pile up miscellaneous items.

A few children dug a hole in the open space to roast bird skewers.

After Zhao Lijuan finished saying these words, Ye Shu and Mrs. Jin exchanged glances.

They all came from Island No. 3 and knew each other very well. They had already felt that this matter was strange, and after Zhao Lijuan said this, they became even more determined to believe in their own child.

When Zhao Lijuan said this, the middle-aged woman surnamed Ma became unhappy:

"Hey! How can you be so disloyal! Are you even from Courtyard No. 7? How dare you speak for an outsider?"

"You saw something and you're talking for them?!"

"Hey! I was wondering, I saw you getting close to the people from Courtyard 2. Turns out you were just trying to curry favor with them!"

"If you want to be friends with them so badly, why don't you just move to Courtyard No. 2? Why are you still staying in our courtyard? We won't stop you! We don't want people who betray us!"

Zhao Lijuan: "I'm just telling the truth. The kids were there, roasting birds over a fire. You were chatting at Aunt Gu's house at the time. You only came out after hearing someone say there was a fire. You didn't see how the fire started in your house, so how can you insist it was the kids in Yard No. 2 who did it?"

Mrs. Ma was furious: "Okay! You're teaming up with people from other courtyards to bully my family, right?"

Zhao Lijuan: "There's no bullying involved. We're just analyzing the events objectively. We want you to be more objective. Don't accuse the children before you've fully investigated the matter. They're still young, so we should give them a chance to prove themselves, right?"

Ma Dasao snorted coldly, "These little kids want to prove themselves? I'm dying of laughter! They haven't even finished speaking yet, and you want them to prove themselves?!"

Zhao Lijuan looked at her deeply, and then reminded her quietly: "If you are sure that these children are young and ignorant and can't speak clearly, then you are making a wrong calculation!"

Ma Dasao looked at him with disdain and snorted coldly: "What am I planning? Am I wrong?"

There was such a big commotion, and it was Saturday, so everyone was on vacation and resting at home, so there were quite a lot of onlookers.

However, not many people responded to Ma Dasao's words.

Those who agree with her and think that what she said is right are the new residents who moved to Chang Street this year.

They are family members from the garrison area or the administrative building who moved here in accordance with the housing exchange policy.

However, the old residents on this side of the long street did not say a word.

They all looked at the three little ones from Ye Shu's family in unison, and at the same time thought of what happened last year when they just moved to Yard No. 2.

I have to admit what Zhao Lijuan said. If anyone bullies these children because they are young and don't remember things and can't speak clearly, then I'm afraid...

My own abacus beads are about to shatter in my face!
