The act of getting his own ex-wife back, from the Front Page Sections, translated…
The Twenty-Seven-Year-Old, Yeh believed that his ex-wife was making it hard for him to visit his own son, early yesterday morning, he took advantage of the typhoon coming, went to his ex-wife’s residence in Luzhou with his own twenty-one year-old younger brother, set off firecrackers, it’d caused the fifth floor apartment to catch on fire, it’d shocked the elderly man who lived alone there; the Fire Department fined the two men for setting off firecrackers at prohibited times, and they’re looking into the cause of the fire, and the fire department plans to pursue both men for criminal charges.
Early yesterday morning, the Hsinbei Fire Department received a call, that there was a fire in the fifth floor of a certain apartment complex on Xinyi Road of Luzhou District, with the winds from the Typhoon Nesat, the fire grew out of control; the seventy-eight year old elderly homeowner who lived alone was awakened by the neighbors ringing his doorbell, telling him to escape from a fire, although he wasn’t injured, he did, get shell-shocked.
As the fire was controlled, the residents told the officers, that before the fire started, there were two men who rode a motorcycle together to the scenes, that they’d set off firecrackers in the alleyways, and, as the locals went outside to check, the balcony had caught on fire on the fifth floor, that they suspected, that the start of the fire has to do with the firecrackers. The police cased the scene, and found the remains of the fireworks, they’d reviewed over the surveillance, and found the brothers Yeh, who were responsible for lighting up the firecrackers.
Yeh said, that two nights ago at eleven, he’d called up his ex-wife, that he’d planned to pick up his seven-year-old son on Sunday morning to take him out, but, his ex-wife felt that he’d let her known too late, and there was a typhoon, and told him, “We’ll discuss it tomorrow!”
He thought she was making it hard for him to see his own son, that, was why he’d gone out, bought the firecrackers, went to his ex-wife’s residence, and set off the firecrackers with his own younger brother. Yeh kept on explaining, that his ex and son lived on the second floor, that he’d only wanted to scare them, he didn’t intend to commit arson.
The fire department stated, that yesterday, was the passing through of Typhoon Nesat, that it was dangerous, to set off the firecrackers, that the sparks from the firecrackers might touch something flammable, and cause a fire; and because the two men were setting off firecrackers at restricted time and place, they’d fined them $30,000N.T. to $150,000N.T. for starters.
The police stated, that once the fire department had confirmed if the fire was related to the firecrackers being set off, they will be arrested for public endangerment.
So, this man was displeased at how his ex-wife wouldn’t let him see his own son, so, he’d set the firecrackers, he didn’t take into considerations of the bad weather, he’d only wanted to retaliate against his ex, and it’s this sort of act now, think later over the consequences that’s gotten him screwed, and caused dangers for the neighbors as well too.
