He was still clutching the uncovered mat in his hand, as if grasping at the last straw.

She rushed into the courtyard, her eyes bloodshot, her gaze fixed on the west room.

Su Chenwei lives there.

She rushed to the west room, kicked the door open, pointed at the shocked Su Chenwei, and cursed her while trembling all over.

"It's you! Su Chenwei! It must be your wicked wife! She sneaked into my house and stole money while I was working in the fields!"

Her voice was so sharp it almost cracked, and her finger poked right in front of Su Chenwei's nose.

"Have you no conscience?! That's my life savings for my funeral! And you even took that!"

She yelled and pounded her chest, her face covered in tears and snot.

"I feed you and clothe you every day, and you still dare to steal my life-saving money? Are you waiting for me to die before you feel at ease?"

"What sins did I, Zhu Xiuqin, commit in my past life to bring such a jinx into our family! Pay back the money! Not a penny less!"

She screamed, her voice echoing throughout the room.

The old calendar on the wall shook, and the enamel mug on the table overturned with a clang, spilling water all over the floor.

Looking at Zhu Xiuqin, who seemed to have gone mad, Su Chenwei found it all laughable.

She stood quietly, without a trace of panic on her face, and even the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

She had anticipated this whole thing.

The moment the money is thrown away, she'll be the first one to jump out and bite.

What's meant to come will come.

She had long known that this family could not tolerate innocent people.

Whenever something goes wrong, the blame will always be shifted onto her.

The mother-in-law favored her eldest daughter-in-law and always found fault with her.

Even if she puts an extra grain of salt in her rice, she can be scolded for three days.

Sure enough, when the money was lost, she immediately suspected herself.

Su Chenwei sneered, but a pang of bitterness rose in her heart.

She has been married into the family for three years and has never touched a single needle in her mother-in-law's room.

But now, they're being treated like thieves and cursed?

She looked down at her hands.
