Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

"What the heck? A heartbreaker? What did Yuanyuan do this time?"

Inside the car, in the passenger seat, Liu Ruyan asked in confusion.

Just now, Lin Mo received a distress call from Lao Wan, who said that Miss Yuan had set fire to the place, and he was immediately shocked.

But listening carefully to Lao Wan's tone, it was clear that although the other party sounded a bit like she was about to cry, it was mostly a tone of helplessness. In addition, given that Miss Yuan mentioned a heartbreaker, the problem was probably not serious, and at least no one would be hurt.

Even so, he still had to go and check on him. After all, he was the one who had trained him, and Lao Wan was here to help him today. He couldn't let Lao Wan take the blame if something went wrong!
"Who knows? Maybe he saw some pretty girl flirting with someone and played with fire and burned her hair!" Lin Mo said uncertainly.

If that's the case, as long as no one is injured, they can go over, apologize, and offer some compensation. It shouldn't be a big deal. At worst, they can just find a good hairdresser to give the other person a nice haircut.

"You know what, you really don't believe it. If it were anyone else, I definitely wouldn't believe it, but with Yuanyuan, anything is possible," Liu Ruyan said helplessly.

She's known Yuan Meng for so many years. When they were kids, Yuan Meng lived in their villa area, and she was considered someone that everyone disliked.

Male dogs have to tuck their butts in when they pass by her house, otherwise a bratty kid with a bun on his head, like Nezha, will rush out and hold a Yellow River toy gun, aiming to shoot the dogs in the testicles.

For a time back then, in that villa area, who among those who owned dogs didn't fear Miss Yuan a bit?

The fact that she practically kept her dog chained up at home, never daring to let it out, shows just how domineering Yuan Meng was back then.

"So, let's go take a look. Hopefully nothing serious has happened. But it's a good thing we didn't let her come, otherwise I was afraid she would have set the wedding venue on fire," Lin Mo said as he drove the car out of the restaurant parking lot.

After his cousin's family left, Li Mingxu, the eldest brother, finally spoke up: "My uncle's family has really struck it rich!"

"I heard it's your younger brother who's made money. Didn't you see you already have two cars?" the aunt said from the side.

Upon hearing this, the eldest brother, Li Mingxu, shook his head and said, "It's not a matter of how many cars there are. My uncle and aunt's cars are fine, but my younger brother's car is much more expensive, worth millions!"

Hearing this, the old couple were both startled, but could only sigh and then quickly turned to greet other guests. Today was their son's wedding, and they didn't have time to sigh here.

In the car, Lin Mo opened the location sent by Lao Wan and used the navigation to quickly leave the city.

"Where did this guy take Sister Yuan and the others to have fun?" Lin Mo asked while driving.

Half an hour later, Lin Mo drove off the highway. He recognized the place; it was a village called Sanhezhuang, not far from the city. He had been there before, but he hadn't exited the highway; he had just driven past it.

This is a rural area. Less than three minutes after we got off the road, a village came into view, along with thick smoke billowing in the distance.

"Holy crap, they really set it on fire?" Lin Mo exclaimed in surprise. He hadn't expected that Lao Wan meant "set it on fire" literally.

From a distance, he could see Miss Yuan's car and several people standing by the roadside, and further away, he could see villagers who had gathered around.

“It’s normal. I can accept whatever Yuanyuan does,” Liu Ruyan said calmly.

The reason why Liu Ruyan could remain calm was simply because what was on fire was not a house, nor a mountain, nor a stack of firewood, but a tree, a tree standing under the national highway, next to the cement road in the village. As for what kind of tree it was, it was no longer clear. Now it was all charred black, with smoke and fire rising from the tree at the same time, quite a scene.

The only thing we know is that this tree is quite old; even though it's burned like this, you can still tell it's very thick, with a diameter of at least fifty or sixty centimeters.

Soon, Lin Mo drove over. As soon as the two got out of the car, they saw Miss Yuan leisurely squatting not far from the burning tree, wearing a padded jacket. There was a small fire in front of her.

She chose a really good spot; it gets hot further in, but cold a few steps back—it's definitely a VIP location.

"What's going on?" Lin Mo asked Lao Wan as soon as he got out of the car.

Upon hearing this, Lao Wan opened his mouth, but finally sighed helplessly and said, "This is a long story!"

"Then let's make this short," Lin Mo said.

Old Wan: "Sister Yuan lit a cigarette for the magpie, and the magpie took the cigarette butt to its nest, burned the nest, and the tree caught fire too!"

Lin Mo:
It turned out that after Lin Mo and his companion left, the rest of them were planning to go and have some fun.

As a local, Lao Wan naturally knows exactly where the fun things to do are.

Ms. Yuan rejected a whole series of activities, including eating barbecue, seafood, grilled fish, watching movies, playing billiards, and going to internet cafes.

There's no other reason than that, although Miss Yuan likes to eat, this small county town of Nancheng has nothing special about it, and the food is just so-so, with nothing new, so naturally Miss Yuan can't muster any interest.

Then Miss Yuan asked, "Is there anything more fun? For example, let's find a river and blast some fish, buy some super-sized firecrackers or double-bang firecrackers, and let them go blast fish." Old Wan thought that was easy, so he led everyone to his grandmother's house in the countryside. There was a river there, which was still frozen, and there were fish, just small river fish. He even boasted that magpies came to build their nests in the trees outside his grandmother's house every year, and that every time he came home, the magpies would come over and weren't afraid of people at all.

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan immediately became interested. Sure enough, the group drove over, and Lao Wan got out of the car and shouted a couple of times. Soon after, a magpie flew over.

He was standing on the car window when, just then, Director Wang took out a cigarette and was about to offer one to Lao Wan. When Xique saw this, she came over and snatched the cigarette pack.

Director Wang didn't want to give it up, but after being punched by Miss Yuan, he timidly offered up his White Pagoda Mountain.

The magpie happily pulled a cigarette out of the pack. Miss Yuan was so excited that she clapped her hands and laughed, "This magpie is awesome, it can even smoke!"

She snatched the lighter from Director Wang's hand and lit it for her magpie friend. Then the magpie flapped its wings and flew back to its nest.

For a moment, everyone was stunned, especially worried that the magpie's nest would catch fire. But they were not disappointed. In less than three minutes, the magpie's nest began to smoke, and in about ten minutes it caught fire, eventually burning the tree trunk.

Fortunately, there was only one tree nearby, and it was winter, so there was nothing to fuel the fire. There wasn't even any grass around. Then Lao Wan called him, and the group stayed there to watch the fire.

Soon, villagers from nearby came over and saw what was happening. Luckily, some villagers noticed that the magpie's nest was starting to smoke, otherwise they would have thought that the naughty kids had set the tree on fire.

After hearing this, Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan were dumbfounded.

Just then, Lin Mo suddenly smelled the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes. Looking towards Miss Yuan, he saw two dark, charred sweet potatoes under a small fire in front of her.

"No, Sister Yuan, where did you get these sweet potatoes?" Lin Mo asked in shock.

With a question in mind, Miss Yuan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Old Wan's grandma gave these to me, along with a few free-range eggs. She said they can be roasted and eaten. Do you want some?"

Lin Mo:
"Even in this state, you still have the appetite?"

"What else can we do? Since it's already burned, we might as well take this opportunity to bake something to eat. At worst, I'll find someone to build them a new nest after it's all burned!" Miss Yuan said, pulling a dark, black sweet potato out from under the fire. She carefully peeled off the skin, and sure enough, it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. As soon as she broke it open, a rich sweet potato aroma wafted out.

Seeing this, Lin Mo exchanged glances with the people behind him. Two minutes later, the group of seven lined up and squatted by the roadside, some eating sweet potatoes and others eating eggs.

"This tastes great! Who invented this roasted egg? You can even roast this?" Lin Mo was greatly shocked.

Hearing this, Lao Wan laughed and said, "What's so special about that? What country kid doesn't know how to do that? My grandma taught me. Wrap the egg in wet paper, light a fire, and when it's almost burned, bury it inside. It tastes amazing!"

"By the way, what about the magpie? Did it get burned to death?" Lin Mo asked suddenly, halfway through his meal.

Upon hearing this, the squad leader stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and gestured for him to look into the ditch not far away.

Sure enough, you could see one magpie beating another.

"That magpie that got beaten is the one that carried the cigarette back. The one that did the beating must be the magpie's wife. They've been beating it for a while now, it's really pitiful!" He Xiaoyue explained from the side.

Seeing this, Lin Mo was both amused and exasperated. He seemed to see the feeling of a human couple arguing in the two fighting magpies.

The male magpie, clutching his head, begged for forgiveness: "I was wrong, so wrong, my darling, my beloved. I just wanted to put on a show for you, the 'beacon fire prank'!"

The mother magpie was furious and kept punching, crying out: "My nest, ah~~~ my nest, my nest!!"

A large-scale domestic violence incident involving magpies (in profanity) is being broadcast live.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Sister Yuan, you've caused that young couple to become homeless and displaced. You have to take responsibility! If another male magpie comes along now, the female magpie might run off with someone else. Then you'll be the one to blame!" Lin Mo laughed.

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan was taken aback: "Now that you mention it, I feel like I've been too wicked. No, I'm going to check if there are any other magpie nests nearby!"

"No, Da Sha Chun, what are you going to do?" Upon hearing this, Lin Mo immediately had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the next second Miss Yuan stood up and said, "To prevent these two magpies from breaking up because they don't have a house, I've decided to light a few more cigarettes for that magpie and let it burn down all the houses of the magpies nearby. Then no one will have a house, and the magpie's wife won't run away!"

Everyone:
Just because you got rained on, you're going to tear everyone's umbrellas apart? Typical of you.

Old Wan was also dumbfounded, and after a long while he finally spoke, "This...this is simply devilish!"

Miss Yuan:
