Part 4
4. Mom, I'm hungry .
Liu Xin and Liu Lei were cremated on the same day as their grandfather, and all three urns were temporarily stored at the funeral home. Later, someone told Yani that the old man's seizure occurred at midnight, which was also when Yani was at the gate of the community, "calling back the souls" for her sons. She hated the security guard, but she really couldn't remember what he looked like, because ever since she saw the cruel scene with her two sons, she always wanted to sleep and wanted to lie down and rest after walking a few steps.
Late at night, Liu Wei was driving Yani and her mother home. When the car reached the gate of the residential complex, it suddenly stopped because Liu Wei saw a fire at the gate. This was no joke. Playing with fire in a residential area would result in legal consequences. He had been troubled by many things recently, and seeing something so dangerous in the middle of the night, Liu Wei angrily opened the car door and shouted, "What are you doing? Playing with fire in this weather, are you looking for death?"
When they got closer, they saw that someone had placed a basin at the gate of the residential complex. The fire in the basin was still burning, but they didn't see the person who set the fire. Liu Wei kicked the basin away, and the fire was extinguished. Some flying ashes flew through the open car door and into Yani's mother's eyes...
The next morning, the first words the family heard were Yani's cries. She said, "Mom, I'm hungry..."
