Zhang Laidi muttered, "That's not right, there's no fire in the kitchen, so where did the fire come from!" "Stop looking, go and call someone to put out the fire."

Zhang Laidi brought Su Xiulan to her home and called Li Quan and her two sons to help put out the fire.

"Xiulan, don't worry. Your uncle and I are going to put out the fire. You just stay at home and don't go anywhere. Just take good care of the children."

Su Xiulan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but she still held back and said, "I understand, Auntie. I'll wait for you to come back here."

She knew in her heart that going there now would only cause trouble, and holding the child, her eyes reddened.

If Aunt Zhang hadn't suggested we go for a walk, maybe...

She didn't dare to think about the consequences; her two children were still so young...

While feeling lingering fear, she was also secretly relieved that no one was home at the time.

Meng Shuyun, on the other hand, was unaware that her home had been gone after only half a day of her absence.

She felt a sudden panic and asked Gu Xue whether she should wait for Su Xiangnan at the police station or go with her to Su Xiumei's house.

She had already arrived in Teng County. Sending Gu Xue back and then turning back would be too time-consuming and impractical.

To Meng Shuyun's surprise, Gu Xue was willing to go with her to find Su Xiumei, rather than just waiting idly at the police station.

The two boarded the bus to Lishan Commune.

After getting off the bus, I asked around and finally found Su Xiumei's house.

Before they even entered the courtyard, they could hear foul curses coming from inside.

"You made me wash so few clothes, and it took you so long! You wasted your breakfast this morning! You're so slow, are you even going to do any work this afternoon? You're all useless, you can't even sweep the floor properly. What good are you? All you do is freeload and can't do any work at all."

"Mom, I was dizzy just now and haven't recovered yet, but I'm almost better now. I'll get right back to work. Xiaoli and Xiaojuan are still young and don't understand, so I can do it."

Upon hearing that humble and ingratiating voice, Meng Shuyun knew without even looking that it was her Xiumei.

"Clap clap clap..."

"Open the door, Xiumei, your mother has come to see you, open the door quickly."
