 A woman in Jiangsu province was sentenced to four years in prison after she burned down her husband's factory in jealousy.

Li Xia waited for Huang Chao when he was sentenced to five years in prison in 2000. After Huang was released in 2005, they opened a soda factory together.

Huang was suspicious that his wife had an affair while he was in prison and recently decided to remove her name as a co-owner of the factory. He replaced it with his sister's name.

Worried her husband was planning to divorce her, she set fire to the factory, to make him penniless.
