The arson incident was temporarily not pursued by the village due to Old Man Mo's "coma," but it needed to be resolved. After a couple of days, Yang Bao, accompanied by Mo Qingze and the villagers whose houses had nearly burned down, arrived at Old Man Mo's House to demand an explanation from Old Man Mo.
When everyone learned that Mo Yongxi had set fire to the fruit seedlings simply because Mo Yan was beautiful, well-fed, wore pretty clothes, and was about to move into a big house - and that her jealousy had compelled her to teach the Mo Family a lesson - they were all dumbfounded.
Mo Yongxi's behavior was not just a matter of pettiness or intense jealousy; it was sheer foolishness and maliciousness.
