Chapter 194 Ding Rumei's slip of the tongue exposes her true colors, the evidence is conclusive.

With such a huge accusation leveled against her, Ding Rumei's face turned ashen. She shook her head weakly and said, "No, I didn't."

Aunt Wang grabbed her hair and wouldn't listen to her explanation at all.

"If it weren't for people like you who disrupt public order, our society wouldn't be progressing so slowly. With such evil intentions, how could we dare to leave you in a place like this?"

Life in the compound was more like a utopia. The children here were basically free from danger, and the parents had little to worry about but human traffickers.

But if someone who is capable of harming even children suddenly appears in the neighborhood, how can they rest easy?

Who doesn't have a child at home?

If the child is gone, the sky will fall.

"You're making baseless accusations! I didn't steal anything. These two kids are just making things up. God, please open your eyes! Honest people are being wronged to death. I'm more wronged than Dou E!"

Li Qingqing and Song Zhaodi exchanged a glance and went upstairs while the crowd was bustling around.

The two stood at the door of the child's room and saw that it was in complete disarray, a mess. Even the child's desk was messy, with the books that were once neatly arranged now scattered on the floor.

All the decent-looking clothes in the closet were piled on the bed, and some were in bags. It seemed that Ding Rumei originally wanted to take them, but the two children found them in time.

Standing in front of the children's window, Song Zhaodi reported truthfully to the people downstairs: "The children are not lying at all. You have turned the children's room upside down. What else could it be but a burglary? If you don't believe me, come up and see for yourselves. You are so short-sighted that you don't even spare the children's things. Have you never seen anything good in your life?"

Looking at the child's messy bed, Li Qingqing could imagine what had happened. She was furious. "You even planned to steal the child's blanket. What else wouldn't you dare to do? Even if you want to lie, at least come up with a smarter excuse."

Everyone has eyes; they can tell who's lying just by looking around the room.

Ding Rumei was afraid that the two women would say something shocking, so she waved her arms, trying to shut them up, but the two women were upstairs, and no matter how much she shouted, it was to no avail.

"You're all in cahoots, you've been plotting this all along. You just don't like me in this house. If you dislike me that much, I can pack my things and leave without a second thought. Shu Ying, don't blame me for not warning you, everyone around you has their own agenda. Only I am Xie Zhiyan's cousin. You'll regret framing me like this sooner or later."

Ding Rumei stubbornly refused to admit that she had stolen anything, which made Shu Ying laugh in anger. She took Yangyang's pen out of Ding Rumei's pocket with one hand.

"This pen was a birthday gift my parents bought for Yangyang when he was still in Shanghai. He couldn't write yet, so he always used it to draw. You wouldn't tell everyone that this pen is yours, would you? Do you know what the foreign words on it mean?"

Seeing this, Li Qingqing wished she could immediately go downstairs and slap her a few times.

Because they were left by their maternal grandparents, Yangyang and Yueyue each had one. The little ones treasured them very much, and they even brought them with them when they came from Shanghai.

Looking at the mess in the desk drawer and then at the tampered envelopes, she had a sudden inspiration.

"Yingying, you said before that the envelopes in the desk drawer were all Xie Zhiyan's salary, but now there's not a single penny left. Ding Rumei, just how much money did you steal!"

Ding Rumei was really worried now; Li Qingqing was just talking nonsense.

She searched for a long time but couldn't find a single penny in the child's room. Li Qingqing immediately started talking about Xie Zhiyan's salary, what nonsense!

"You're making baseless accusations! That envelope contained only some family letters, not a single penny or anything of value! I didn't do it, so don't try to pin this on me."

She was completely oblivious to the flaws in her words, her eyes fixed intently on Yangyang and Yueyue.

"There were just some notebooks and pens in that desk, nothing else. Capitalists are so extravagant. They hoarded a whole desk full of children's things. Their clothes are all made of silk, which ordinary people like us can't afford in our entire lives. And their beds are very soft. They live such a luxurious life, they should be investigated. Don't you have any rules? Report her!"

Since things have already come to this point, Shu Ying shouldn't let her reputation be ruined either.

A group of onlookers were all amazed by Ding Rumei's shamelessness.

Zhang Hongxia's eyes were filled with undisguised disgust. "How can someone say such disgusting things so matter-of-factly? My family may not have that kind of means, but if my family were rich, we would give our children the best of everything. Hey, didn't she say she didn't steal anything? How come she knows so much about what's in the child's room?"

Sister-in-law Wang pulled her hair even tighter. "Your words are so incoherent. Even if you're making up a lie, at least make it believable! How can we believe you when your story is so full of holes? You know everything the child uses. If you didn't steal anything, how do you know where other people put their things?"

Li Chunyan felt jealous. She usually only saw Shu Ying dressed up in a glamorous way, and her two children were fair-skinned and clean-cut. She never expected that they would use such good things.

Compared to my own child, who is as messy as a little landmine, I feel a pang of resentment.

We're all human, so why is there such a huge difference between us?

Song Zhaodi and Li Qingqing rushed downstairs, pointing at Ding Rumei and cursing her.

"I've never seen anyone as heartless as you, slandering people like this. The pen caps these two kids are using were made by us after we came to the capital, and the fabric is from a service company. Tell me, what is it about these kids that exceeds the specifications?"

The first thing Shuying did upon arriving here was to buy all the necessary household items at the service store.

She had guessed that some people might say she had questionable conduct, but she didn't expect that day to come so soon.

Yueyue and Yangyang nodded in agreement. "Mom said that although our family is better off, we can't be extravagant. Auntie doesn't do anything at home and only lets Aunt Song do the work. She also wants Mom to give her extra money and wages."

Yueyue's childish voice mercilessly exposed Ding Rumei's usual behavior.

“She always made Aunt Song do a lot of things and didn’t allow her to rest for a moment. My mother said that Aunt Song was our family. My aunt also said that since she took the money, she had to work. She also said that we don’t support people who eat for free in our family.”
