Upon hearing Su Manao's baseless accusations, Su Zhenzhu immediately raised her eyebrows and rushed out, hands on her hips, scolding, "Mom, don't listen to this little rascal's nonsense! She was craving something in the middle of the night and went to the kitchen to steal some food!"
Because she was missing a front tooth, her pronunciation was a little slurred, but everyone could still understand her.
Guan Yumei's face darkened: "So you locked your little sister in the kitchen? She's so small, and the kitchen is so cold. Come here, touch her hands—they're ice cold!"
Su Manao leaned against Guan Yumei's chest and smiled provocatively at Su Zhenzhu.
Su Zhenzhu rolled her eyes: "She's faking it!"
Upon hearing this, Guan Yumei flew into a rage, grabbed Su Zhenzhu, shoved her into the kitchen, and then bolted the door: "You install one for me!"
At this moment, a deep male voice came from behind them: "What's all the commotion so early in the morning? What time is it? Why haven't you made breakfast yet? Su Ruyi, are you dead?"
It was Su Dazhi, who was carrying his shoes and questioning him with a stern face.
Su Ruyi, who was watching the drama unfold, was suddenly called upon and was a little confused: "Huh?"
Su Tong stood at the door and said, "Dad, Mom locked my eldest sister in the kitchen, and my sixth sister can't get in! Besides, Mom hasn't even opened the cupboard to get the food yet!"
Su Dazhi looked at Guan Yumei: "You good-for-nothing! You stole all the money in the house! Instead of reflecting on your actions, you're causing trouble?"
He released Su Zhenzhu, snatched the key from Guan Yumei's waist, and handed it to Su Ruyi: "Sixth Sister, you're always like a gourd with its mouth sawed off. Such an honest person, yet you guard against her like a thief all the time. In the end, you spoiled that unruly brat so much that she stole everything from the house! Here, Sixth Sister, you keep this key from now on!"
Su Ruyi was overjoyed. She took the keys and went into the kitchen, immediately noticing the cupboard doors were wide open. She turned around and called out, "Dad..."
Su Dazhi followed and glared at Su Zhenzhu.
Su Zhenzhu immediately pointed to Su Manao.
Su Dazhi understood, grabbed Su Manao, and slapped her twice across the face: "I'll teach you to waste food!"
Su Manao, who had been beaten, was completely stunned.
This was the first time Su Dazhi had ever hit her since she was a child.
She was stunned for several seconds before bursting into tears and throwing herself at Guan Yumei: "Mom! Dad hit me! Dad actually hit me!"
