Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 139: An's House Burned

We have to go to Wanfulou to ask whether Manager Wang accepts Chinese toon. After all, Wanfulou is the largest restaurant in Shijing Town.

An Yue's mind is now filled with nothing but making money.

The two continued to walk forward, heading roughly in the direction where they had dug Ophiopogon japonicus before. They climbed over two hillsides and finally arrived at the Ophiopogon japonicus field.

An Yue walked to the Ophiopogon japonicus field, quickly put down her backpack and tools, rolled up her sleeves, squatted down and prepared to start digging Ophiopogon japonicus.

When Gu Mingchuan saw An Yue coming here, he squatted down and asked in confusion, "Did you come to the mountain just to dig this?"

"What else? Why don't you come over and help?" An Yue said.

At this moment, Gu Mingchuan's eyes revealed innocence and clarity, and he looked a little silly.

He walked up to An Yue, who carefully taught him how to pick the fat roots of Ophiopogon japonicus and where to place them after picking them. She explained everything to him one by one, and then An Yue began to dig Ophiopogon japonicus.

Time passed by breath by breath, and the two of them cooperated with each other. When An Yue was tired of digging, she sat down to drink some water and take a short rest.

Before I knew it, two hours had passed.

It was almost noon, and because they had only had porridge for breakfast, their stomachs were already growling with hunger.

An Yue and Gu Mingchuan quickly picked the Ophiopogon japonicus, then put their backpacks on and prepared to go home to make lunch.

The two of them came out to dig herbs while the others went out to do farm work. It was the day when Anqing's eldest brother and sister-in-law returned home.

There was no one at home, and they never imagined that a disaster was quietly approaching.

An Yue and Gu Mingchuan came down the mountain and saw smoke filling the air over the village.

Gu Mingchuan said leisurely: "Whose fire happened?"

An Yue looked in the direction Gu Mingchuan pointed. Black smoke and flames were everywhere. The two looked at each other.

An Yue ran towards home without thinking, she realized that the fire was in her home.

When she arrived at the door of her house, An Yue saw that the entire An family’s old house was surrounded by fire.

She put down the tools in her hands and ran home desperately.

Gu Mingchuan saw that An Yue had completely lost her mind. He held An Yue's arm tightly and said loudly, "Miss An Yue, calm down."

An Yue cried out, "It's gone, it's all gone."

She felt extremely helpless, her legs and feet went limp as she knelt on the ground. She couldn't believe what she saw, she couldn't believe that God was teasing her like this.

This was the only safe haven for her and her brother, and now she watched it burn to the ground before her own eyes.

Gentle breezes blew, fanning the flames, and a raging fire began to burn the beams. There were crackling sounds of the house collapsing, and all kinds of pungent burnt smoke filled the air.

Grandmother Zhou, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, cried out, "Oh my God! You are going to kill me!"

Grandfather An Chengde knelt at the gate, watching the An family's old house burn to the beams. He cried out with tears in his eyes, "Heaven wants to kill me! Heaven wants to kill my old An family!"

An Yue walked over weakly and found a cow at the gate.

There were constant shouts coming from the yard: "Yueyue... Nian Nian... are you in there?"

"Grandfather, uncle...?" An Yue looked at her uncle and grandfather who were trying their best to put out the fire in the yard.

Uncle Jiang Chenghai heard the voice, turned around suddenly and saw that it was An Yue.

He ran towards An Yue as fast as he could and asked excitedly, "Yue Yue... you... you're not in the house?"

An Yue looked at her uncle Jiang Chenghai's face full of worry and sweat, and she nodded with heartache.

Jiang Chenghai hurriedly shouted to Jiang Wuwen: "Dad, Yueyue is here, Yueyue is here!"

Jiang Wuwen turned around and saw that it was An Yue. He quickly rushed to An Yue and said happily: "Yueyue, it's a good thing you are not in the room!"

Uncle Jiang Chenghai was so excited as if he had found a treasure, he said: "That's great! Yueyue is fine."

At this time, grandfather Jiang Wuwen suddenly thought of An Nian and asked, "Yueyue, where is Niannian?"

When An Yue saw her grandfather and uncle here, she seemed to no longer be so afraid.

She replied slowly, "Grandfather, I went to school in town every year."

Grandfather Jiang Wuwen heaved a sigh of relief when he heard An Yue say this.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered softly: "That's good, that's good."

"Yueyue, don't be sad! As long as the people are fine, other things can be rebuilt." Uncle comforted An Yue.

An Yue raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes.

She looked at her uncle and grandfather, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

At this time of raging fire, having them by her side was like a timely rain, giving her endless sense of security.

"Uncle, Grandfather, how come you have time to come here today?" An Yue asked, with a hint of surprise and confusion in her voice.

My uncle raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face, which looked like he was about to perform an opera.

He smiled and patted An Yue's shoulder gently: "We have been busy collecting fish before, and the fields at home have not been plowed."

"I finally had some free time these days, so I hurried to plow the fields. Thinking of you two siblings, we were also worried about you, so we led the cows over here to help you plow the fields."

Grandfather nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't expect to encounter such a big fire just after arriving."

"After going to school every year, I went to the back mountain to dig herbs."

Grandfather comforted him: "As long as you are all fine, it's fine. If the others are gone, then they are gone!"

An Yue looked at her uncle and grandfather with emotion, her heart filled with gratitude and relief.

At this most difficult time, their arrival made her feel the warmth and care of her loved ones.

"Thank you, uncle and grandfather." An Yue said, tears flowing again.

Uncle patted An Yue's arm and comforted her: "Okay, Yueyue, don't cry. We will work together and we will definitely be able to rebuild our home."

Uncle and grandfather looked at An Yue with determination in their eyes. They knew that An Yue was a very resilient child.

"Now come back to the Jiang family with us. After the fire is out, we will come back and see what we can do!"

At this time, Grandmother Zhou walked up to An Yue without her noticing. She rolled her eyes at An Yue and said, "Why? You came here when you had a house, but now that the An family's old house is gone, you're going to run away?"

An Yue watched the entire An family being burned down, and she could understand the feelings of her grandparents.

Anyue shook her head at her uncle and grandfather and said, "I can't leave here. Niannian hasn't come back yet."

At this time, all the villagers in Baili Village rushed over. The fire had already burned to the beams and pillars of the house. There was no need to put out the fire, and forcibly putting out the fire would be very dangerous.

Everyone could only watch the old house burn down.

An Yue looked at the fire still burning, and at this moment, her mood gradually calmed down.

Things have come to this point, crying and making a fuss will not help.

She thought calmly, how should she rebuild her home and how should she start a new life?
