Chapter 386 Layout
Besides, what family doesn't have its share of arguments? What family doesn't have its share of bumps and bruises? That's perfectly normal. But ever since Su Xiaoxiao married into the Su family, it seems like their lives are a constant battle of wits.

A captivating family drama unfolds daily, and the villagers of Baihua Village seem to hear big news about the Su family every few days.

Could it really be as Old Mrs. Wang said, that she saw through it all, that this daughter-in-law was some kind of vixen, a jinx reincarnated, who came to bring misfortune to their Su family?
However, they couldn't help it, and the villagers started talking about it.

Commander Shi inspected the fire situation on site, recorded the details of the fire, and then asked Old Mrs. Wang, "Old Mrs. Wang, did you start this fire?"

Old Mrs. Wang puffed out her chest and said, "Yes, I put it there!"

"Okay, what did you use to set the fire? How did you start the fire? And why did you start the fire? Tell me the whole truth."

Commander Shi, we need to figure this out before we can arrest them. Old Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes and said, "I used that torch to find some dry branches, lit them, and threw them into the yard to set it on fire. The wind was strong tonight, so the fire caught fire very quickly."

"Oh, so what was your reason for setting the fire? According to our investigation, this workshop is run by your daughter-in-law. You set fire to your own family?"

Commander Shi also needs to find out why Old Lady Wang set the fire before he can arrest her.

Old Mrs. Wang retorted, "Why did I set fire to her workshop, sir? Do you want to know? You be the judge! Ever since my daughter-in-law came to our family, there's been no peace. Either my son was killed by wolves, or my daughter was thrown in jail. My husband and I couldn't even survive. When we asked her to help, she only thought of herself, making excuses and refusing to help. So I set fire to her workshop to get revenge on her."

"Alright, I know everything!"

After hearing this, Officer Shi understood. Everyone knew why the prisoner had set the fire, so there was nothing more to say.

As for whether Su Xiaoxiao is like what Old Mrs. Wang said, someone who doesn't care about family matters and even brings misfortune to their family, and who doesn't concern himself with those fantastical things in heaven or on earth, he only catches bad people, those who commit murder, arson, robbery and other evil deeds.

"Understood. Tell our magistrate in jail! Guards, take him away!"

Officer Shi was quite decisive and took the old woman, Wang, away without hesitation.

The Su family followed the procession that was taking away Old Lady Wang for a long time, but it was no use. The soldiers didn't care about that and just arrested people and left.

The matter was resolved, and it was already broad daylight. Those who had gathered to watch the commotion or come to help put out the fire all went home.

Su Ping'an only then felt tired, and his wounds started to hurt. He sat down on the ground with a thud.

"Heartbroken" is not enough to describe Su Ping'an's feelings at this moment; he no longer knew how to describe his feelings.

Su Xiaoxiao helped him up from the ground and said to him, "Get up quickly, let me take a look at your wound!"

Su Xiaoxiao practically had to push Su Ping'an to get him home step by step.

She applied some more medicine to Su Ping'an's arm wound. Because of the firefighting efforts, he was relatively far away and wasn't burned. He only had some black ash around his mouth and nose, and his face was covered in soot. He looked like a coal miner who had just crawled up from underground. Su Ping'an, who was originally very handsome, was now unrecognizable because of the soot.

Su Xiaoxiao felt both sorry for him and a little amused. At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao walked up to Su Ping'an, who hugged her tightly and asked, "Are you really okay?"

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "It's come to this, what else can I say? It's okay, as long as the person is still here, we can start over! But this workshop is run by Qian Musheng and me, so if there's anything, we'll have to wait for him to come back and discuss it together."

Su Ping'an had no choice but to nod. The two of them had originally planned to go to the capital together to see what could be done to help Su Xiu'er, but this had delayed them.

Su Xiaoxiao still needs to stay behind to calculate how much has been lost. They can't make jam for the next few days, and some goods that were supposed to be delivered can't be delivered on time either.

They need to compensate for all of this. In fact, the loss is not small. Repurchasing equipment and rebuilding the factory will all require recalculation.

However, when it comes to calculating all these things, Su Xiaoxiao doesn't yet have a clear idea of ​​the exact amount of loss. She doesn't have the energy to do so right now; she just feels exhausted. All her hard work has turned into ruins overnight, and she's too tired to think of anything else.

When Liu Qiaomei learned that Su Xiaoxiao's workshop had run into trouble, she rushed over to see if there was anything she could do to help. Su Xiaoxiao didn't seem to be in much spirits either. Liu Qiaomei asked anxiously, "Sister Xiaoxiao, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled wryly and said, "Anything is fine. Why don't you make some more qingtuan for us to eat?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qiaomei immediately agreed, "Okay, Sister Xiaoxiao, I'll go out and make you some qingtuan right now."

The green rice dumplings made by Liu Qiaomei were delivered quickly, but Su Ping'an still had no appetite.

Su Xiaoxiao urged him, "Hurry up and eat a few. These green rice dumplings were made by Liu Qiaomei, and they're a token of her affection. Do you want to starve yourself to the point of illness? I won't allow you to do that!"

Su Ping'an's vision suddenly blurred again. "Xiaoxiao, when Mother left, she was taken away in shackles by those soldiers. I'm a little worried about her..."

Su Xiaoxiao knew this would happen; Su Ping'an was always like this. Her face darkened. "So you mean I did something wrong? That I shouldn't have reported your mother's matter to the authorities?"

Seeing this, Su Ping'an realized that Su Xiaoxiao was truly angry this time. He quickly explained, "No, it's my fault. I shouldn't have said those things. Mother's actions this time are her own fault!"

Su Pingan quickly came over and persuaded, "Alright, I'll eat it, okay?"

Su Xiaoxiao was no longer angry, and her expression immediately brightened. She urged Su Ping'an to eat more so that he would have the energy to study and do other things.

Su Ping'an finally listened and ate something, which put Su Xiaoxiao at ease. She felt that she must regroup and start over. She would never be defeated by this setback.

Having made up her mind, Su Xiaoxiao began to plan a new business strategy.
