Yueyue noticed a pen sticking out of her pocket, and the longevity lock she had placed on the table that morning was also missing.
She immediately stepped up two steps and blocked Ding Rumei's path.
"Auntie, why did you steal my brother's pen? You stole our things! Mom said if you need anything, you can tell her, but you absolutely cannot steal other people's things!"
Yueyue's words made Ding Rumei feel ashamed. Being labeled a thief was like a label others had attached to her, and she struggled to shake it off.
"How can you talk like that? What kind of parents raised you? I just saw your room was messy and wanted to help you tidy it up. I probably just put this in my pocket and forgot to take it out. You're so rude. Be careful you won't be able to get married when you grow up. With that sharp tongue, no man will want you."
Yueyue's small chest heaved, her round face brimming with anger: "You're a thief! You came to steal our things! I'm going to tell Mom and Aunt Song! I don't want a thief as my aunt!"
Yangyang tried to snatch the pen back from her, but Ding Rumei pushed him to the ground.
No matter how strong a child is, how can they compare to the strength of an adult like her?
"You two heartless little brats, how many delicious meals have I made for you? You have Xie family blood in your veins, how can you side with your mother, that outsider? She has never taught you to be good since you were little. Even if I really took it, it was something from my own family. What are you making such a fuss about?"
Yangyang bumped his arm on the bed leg, and his elbow went numb for a while. But worried that Ding Rumei would hurt Yueyue, he turned around and immediately stood up, spreading his arms to block her way.
“I’m going to tell Uncle Li to kick you out. Thieves go to jail if they’re caught, and it’s wrong for Auntie to steal our things.”
Seeing that the two children were really about to run out to call for help, Ding Rumei quickly dropped what she was holding and pulled them back with one arm.
Yangyang struggled incessantly and bit hard on the hand that was holding Yueyue: "Sister, run!"
Without a second thought, Yueyue took off running, shouting as she went, "Aunt Song, Auntie stole my brother's things!"
Ding Rumei wanted to step forward again, so she warned the two of them fiercely: "If you dare to make a sound again, I'll kill you both, and then you'll never see your parents again!"
"You are all children of capitalists. Even if I really kill you, I won't punish you. This is called eliminating evil for the people. Anyway, you are no good. If I expose you, won't you still be demoted?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Yueyue's eyes; she was clearly frightened by Ding Rumei's words.
It's already hard enough for Mom to raise her and her brother alone. What if this crazy aunt drags Mom down with her too?
Yangyang pushed her away with all his might, then turned around, grabbed Yueyue's hand, and ran downstairs.
"Aunt Song, Uncle Li, my aunt has gone mad! She's going to kill me and my sister! She wants to kill us!"
Stealing and wanting to kill are two completely different concepts, and Yangyang could tell which was more important in just one second.
Ding Rumei grabbed Yangyang with one hand in a fit of anger, but before she could cover his mouth, Song Zhaodi rushed up in a hurry.
The commotion was so loud that it was hard for her not to notice.
Song Zhaodi looked panicked: "Ding Rumei, what do you want to do?"
Having come this far, Ding Rumei gripped Yangyang's arm tightly, deciding to go all the way.
