"You wretched girl, our Chen family feeds you and clothes you, and you still dare to lay a knife on my property? Do you want to get out of this house?" Grandma Chen pointed at Li Ke and cursed.

Li Ke watched as Grandma Chen's harsh words fell upon her again, but she felt no emotion. She would repay some things slowly, and besides, she had just received 500,000 yuan from the Chen family and 50,000 yuan from Li Zhenzhen, so she was in a good mood.

So, Li Ke explained politely, "I didn't. I was chopping vegetables. Aunt Chen came over and wouldn't let me, so I asked her to go back to watching TV. I just made myself a bowl of noodles, and she said I ate too much. I was just holding a cleaver at the time, and now she's saying I was going to chop her? I didn't even know I would chop someone! Aunt Chen, I just noticed you often put the leftover money from grocery shopping in your pocket, and you've been looking down on me ever since. I've already said I won't tell anyone, so why are you making things difficult for me?"

Seeing that Aunt Chen had dug a pit for her, Li Ke naturally wanted to dig a little pit back. Aunt Chen was so angry that her face turned red, and she came up to push Li Ke: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I do such a thing?"

Li Ke dodged her and said, "You didn't do it, so why are you blushing? Besides, you know best whether you did it or not."

"Auntie, don't listen to this wretched girl's nonsense. In the past, when we bought groceries, we only had a few cents or dollars left. I would put them in my pocket so that it would be easier to get change next time. Who would have thought that this brat from another family would now try to smear me? I'm so wronged!" Aunt Chen ran to Grandma Chen's side and hugged her shoulders, crying.

Grandma Chen was the most stingy of them all. She scrutinized Aunt Chen with a suspicious look, but in the end, Aunt Chen held a more important place in her heart.

"Aunt Chen is your elder, after all. You're just a freeloader, don't you know better? What are you standing there for? Pick up the fruit on the ground and wash it." Grandma Chen, still holding a grudge about Aunt Chen's embezzlement, ordered Li Ke with annoyance.

Li Ke held her waist and didn't move, looking at Li Zhenzhen: "I hurt my waist yesterday and can't bend down, Aunt Li knows that."

Li Zhenzhen met Li Ke's gaze, looked away with disgust, and said, "That's true. You should go upstairs and rest. You're just getting in the way here."

Upon receiving these words, Li Ke went upstairs without looking back.

When Grandma Chen saw her like this, she wanted to scold her again, but Chen Ziyue stopped her: "Mom, she's just a child. Let's go back and sit down. There's no need to get angry."

When Li Ke heard Chen Ziyue's words, she glanced at her as she turned the corner upstairs. Chen Ziyue was also looking over at her. Their eyes met, and Chen Ziyue gave her a friendly smile. Li Ke didn't respond and went inside.
