Chapter 384 Su Xiaoxiao angrily confronts her mother-in-law

Nearly half of Su Xiaoxiao's workshop has burned down, the roof has collapsed, and almost all the equipment inside has been destroyed, resulting in considerable losses.

However, thanks to the villagers' timely discovery and assistance in extinguishing the fire, the workshop was not completely destroyed.

Or it could lead to an even bigger disaster. If the fire isn't extinguished in time, the other houses in the village could be engulfed in flames overnight, thanks to the wind.

The old lady Wang was held down by the crowd. She was holding a torch in her hand, the flame of which was still burning. The torch was the kind used to light the way when going out at night.

The torch tip has some pine nut oil and some combustible material on it, which keeps the fire burning and ensures that the road is visible.

Although such torches were not very safe, there were no flashlights or similar lighting methods available at that time.

But no one understood why the person who set fire to Su Xiaoxiao's workshop was Su Ping'an's mother, Su Xiaoxiao's mother-in-law. This was very incomprehensible.

At this point, everyone began to realize that something was amiss. Su Xiaoxiao angrily questioned Old Madam Wang, "Why did you set fire to our workshop?"

Everyone saw that Old Madam Wang's eyes were very cloudy, and she was staring at Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ping'an in front of her with a fierce look, as if she wanted to kill the people in front of her.

"I'm going to burn down your workshop! Who told you to be so inhumane, who told you to stand by and watch someone die!"

Su Ping'an was so angry that his face turned pale, and he asked tremblingly, "Mother, tell me, how did we do anything wrong? How can you say we stood by and watched someone die?"

Old Mrs. Wang glanced at Su Ping'an and said, "You people, now that you have money and are rich, you don't care about the lives of your families. I'm going to burn down your workshops and make you rich, haha... let's see how you make money then?"

At this moment, Old Mrs. Wang seemed to be somewhat delirious. It was hard to describe, but Su Xiaoxiao felt as if the old lady was possessed by something.

At this time, the Su family also learned of the news and rushed over. When the old man Su learned that the old lady Wang had set Tang Xiaoman's workshop on fire and burned it to its current state, he was so angry that he almost fainted again.

"You, you, my dear, how could you be so confused?"

He pointed at Old Mrs. Wang and started cursing, but it was too late. The fire had already spread so much that the damage was already severe.

This really worried Old Man Su. He thought that Old Madam Wang had suffered so many blows today that she couldn't bear it and had been standing by the window without saying a word to anyone. He thought she would be fine after a while.

No one expected that, despite being kept under surveillance that night, she would run out and set a fire. Su Xiaoxiao's eyes were extremely cold at this moment. Facing the fruits of her hard work in starting her business, this workshop, which represented so much of her hard work and effort, was now almost completely gone, if not entirely.

Su Pingan felt extremely distressed when he saw Su Xiaoxiao's appearance.

He knew that although Su Xiaoxiao hadn't said anything, she must be very angry. Since Su Ping'an and Su Xiaoxiao got together, he had never seen Su Xiaoxiao so angry.

"Mother, how could you be so confused? What do you mean we're all inhuman? Why are you saying that about us?"

Suddenly, Old Mrs. Wang pointed at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "What did I say? My son Su Bingcheng is dead. He left us so young. But what did Su Xiaoxiao say at the time? She wouldn't let you continue down the cliff to look for my son. She did everything she could to stop you. That's all the good she did."

Just as Su Ping'an was about to speak, Su Xiaoxiao stopped him, indicating that she wanted Old Madam Wang to continue. She was very interested in hearing what Old Madam Wang was really thinking at this moment.

Upon seeing this, Old Mrs. Wang continued pointing at Su Xiaoxiao and saying, "Today, when I learned that my daughter, Su Xiuer, had been arrested and thrown into jail, I didn't say anything. Your father wanted to ask her to help him think of a solution, and look at her attitude! She just grabbed you and tried to leave, showing no intention of getting involved. This is your sister's matter, and she doesn't want to care at all. What kind of person is she? Who does she think she is? Su Ping'an, ever since you married her, she's been whispering sweet nothings in your ear, bewitching you every day, making you completely forget that you still have the surname Su, forget that you have a family, isn't that right? Am I right?"

At this moment, Old Mrs. Wang was full of energy, a stark contrast to the disheveled appearance Su Xiaoxiao had seen that afternoon.

It turns out she wasn't overly saddened and became dazed at all; she was fully aware of everything. Just as Su Xiaoxiao had predicted, this afternoon, she was able to leave the Su family home with Su Ping'an without any problems.

Old Mrs. Wang didn't bother them, but told them they had to come up with a plan to go to the capital to rescue Su Xiuer immediately.

So that's where they were waiting for her. Old Mrs. Wang came over in the middle of the night to set fire to their workshop.

This was truly unexpected; Su Xiaoxiao was also quite impressed with Old Lady Wang's acting skills.

"Mother, have you finished speaking? Now it's my turn to speak."

Su Xiaoxiao wasn't angry or anything. She said to Old Madam Wang, "I've made myself perfectly clear about saving my brother-in-law. Su Ping'an did his best to save him, but the cliff is so deep that there's no way he could go down. If he did, it's questionable whether Su Ping'an could even come back. Mother, in your heart, is the living more important or the dead? Are you willing to give up the life of another son for the sake of one?"

Seeing that Old Madam Wang didn't speak, Su Xiaoxiao continued, "Regarding the second matter you mentioned, which is that I didn't mention going to rescue my sister Su Xiuer, I've already discussed it with Su Ping'an. We plan to go to the capital first thing tomorrow morning to find out the specific situation. If you don't believe me, you can ask Su Ping'an!"

Su Ping'an nodded and said, "Mother, Xiaoxiao and I have already discussed it. Tomorrow at dawn, we will go to the capital together to find out the situation and see if we can think of a way to help my little sister. But what are you doing now?"

The neighbors had probably figured it out by now. They pointed and whispered to Old Mrs. Wang, "You're being too domineering, aren't you? How could you do this? You've hurt your family. And your daughter-in-law has already been very considerate of you. What more do you want?"
