Shen Qiqi spread out the account book on the table. The densely packed numbers were dizzying. She picked up the abacus and started fiddling with it.

The sunlight shone through the window onto the account book, and the ink seemed to be mocking all the chaos.

The more she looked at it, the more she frowned. The accounts were a complete mess, so disorganized that it made her want to overturn the table.

"What the hell is this?" Shen Qiqi couldn't help but grumble in a low voice, her fingers running across the account book. The various unreasonable expenses made her exclaim that it was outrageous.

This is not just bookkeeping, it is simply "artistic creation".

She found that many entries were vague, and some were simply glossed over with the word "other".

I’m afraid that this “other” money will go directly into someone’s pocket, right?

The eldest uncle and the second uncle stood aside, pretending to help tidy up, but their eyes kept glancing towards Shen Qiqi, like two stealing cats, afraid of being discovered.

Their guilty consciences simply overflowed the screen.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air, as if a big drama was about to break out in the next second.

Second uncle suddenly jumped out, pointing at Shen Qiqi and yelling: "Third sister-in-law, isn't your audit a bit biased? Why are you only staring at our room? Are you looking for trouble? " His voice was like that of a drake, and it hurt people's eardrums.

"Second uncle, you can't say that." Shen Qiqi raised his head, his eyes as calm as water, as if Second Uncle had farted in front of him without any ripples.

"When I check the accounts, I naturally want to check every single entry. If you haven't done anything wrong, what are you afraid of?"

"You! You are quibbling!" The second uncle was speechless for a moment and his face turned purple.

Shen Qiqi sneered and slammed a ledger onto the table. The papers vibrated with a "bang" sound, instantly attracting everyone's attention. "Second Uncle, why don't you take a look at this? It says here that your family 'purchased' rice last month, which was half more than the amount you paid for it! Did you feed the pigs with the extra rice?"

She pointed to another place and said, "And this, 'repair', isn't your roof fine? Where did the money come from to repair it? Could it be that you repaired it for rats?" Shen Qiqi's tone was flat, but every word was piercing, like a knife, accurately stabbing the second uncle's pain.

She glanced at her second uncle, whose face was ashen, and said, "There are many more. Do you want me to list them one by one, second uncle?"

The second uncle opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but found that he could not find any reason.

He pointed at Shen Qiqi, his fingers trembling, wanting to say something, but in the end he could only utter, "You...you..."

Shen Qiqi ignored him, turned to look at the uncle who had been silent, and said slowly: "Uncle, is it your turn next?"

The uncle looked at Shen Qiqi's eyes, was shocked, and swallowed subconsciously, but said nothing.

When the old lady heard the second uncle's exaggerated complaint, she immediately got furious. Her excitement was comparable to a rocket launch, and she was almost taking off on the spot.

"Well, you Shen Qiqi! It hasn't been a few days since you married into the Lu family, and you're already stirring up trouble, right? You're a troublemaker!" The old lady's voice was as loud as a tweeter, shaking the beams of the house three times.

Shen Qiqi felt her head buzzing. The old lady's fighting power was simply that of a human-shaped fire-breathing dragon.

She took a deep breath and tried to remain calm: "Mom, I'm checking the accounts for the good of our Lu family. I can't be so confused that someone else cheated me out of money without knowing it, right?"

"Scammed? Who scammed me? Stop slandering me!" The old lady slammed the table, nearly breaking it apart. "I think you have bad intentions and are deliberately trying to sow discord among our Lu family!"

The air in the room seemed to freeze, making it hard to breathe.

Shen Qiqi felt like she had fallen into a swamp, and the more she struggled, the deeper she sank.

She sighed helplessly. Trying to reason with the old lady was like talking to a cow.

At this moment, Lu Qing stood up and stood in front of Shen Qiqi like a wall.

"Mom, Qiqi is doing this for the good of the family, please don't say that to her." His tone was firm and left no room for doubt.

Shen Qiqi's heart warmed, and she looked at Lu Qing gratefully. It's great to have him around.

"For the good of the family? I think she just wants to make our Lu family live in chaos!" The old lady continued to insist, "You married a wife and forgot your mother, you unfilial son!"

"Mom, please don't be like this..." Lu Qing wanted to persuade her again, but was interrupted by the old lady, "Shut up! I'm not dead yet, it's not her turn as an outsider to point fingers!"

The old lady pointed at Shen Qiqi's nose and cursed, "Get out! We in the Lu family don't welcome you!"

Shen Qiqi bit her lip and was about to speak when Lu Qing grabbed her hand and said, "Let's go."

He pulled Shen Qiqi and turned away, leaving the old lady jumping and cursing on the spot.

When he reached the door, Lu Qing suddenly stopped and looked back at the old lady, "Mom, the clan leader will be here tomorrow."

The next day, the head of the Lu family walked into the Lu family gate with heavy steps under the scorching sun.

He stroked his beard and looked around. The atmosphere in the room was tense, like a lit firecracker, ready to explode at any moment.

The eldest uncle and the second uncle immediately came forward and started their performance.

One cried and raged, telling how "vicious" Shen Qiqi was; the other exaggerated, accusing Shen Qiqi of "ruining the family reputation."

With that acting skill, it would be a shame if he didn't go into acting.

The old lady opened fire at full force, turning on the "machine gun" mode, scolding Shen Qiqi from head to toe.

The patriarch was overwhelmed after hearing this. What the hell was going on?

He looked this and that, like a puppet, completely unsure of what to do.
