Chapter 233: Chapter 233 This Time You’re Dead for Sure Chapter 233: Chapter 233 This Time You’re Dead for Sure If she could catch the mouse for them, they might be more grateful and become friendlier to her as a result.

So she tiptoed to the door, and just as she pushed it open a crack, she saw Sun Lixia rummaging through the room.

At first glance, it was clear she was stealing!

Zhaodi didn’t make a sound to stop her, instead quietly retreating to a dark corner.

Sun Lixia didn’t realize someone had come back and continued to frantically search the room.

But after looking around, she didn’t find anything particularly valuable, only discovering two pieces of chocolate and a few White Rabbit candies under Jiang Mianmian’s pillow.

“The big room’s family is guarding against thieves, with so many nice things all locked up in the cabinet!” Sun Lixia cursed resentfully.

She was really unsatisfied but couldn’t find much else, so she finally set her heart on visiting the main room.

After all, she was the only one in the house now; if she was careful, no one would discover her.

The old lady liked to keep her valuable things in the cabinet above the kang bed.

As soon as Sun Lixia opened the cabinet, she indeed saw it brimming with various high-end snacks.

She didn’t dare to dig further but took two pieces of the biscuits Director Zhou had gifted from the top, along with a piece of date cake and a few Milk Candies.

Fearing discovery, she didn’t dare to take more and cautiously put everything back in place.

When she walked out with the items, she passed straight by the doorway of the second room without so much as glancing inside.

The second room was so poor; what good things could they possibly have?

From her hiding spot, Zhaodi watched her leave the main room with the items in her arms and got an idea, thinking of a cunning plan to deal with her.

After watching Sun Lixia leave for work, she sneaked into the old couple’s room and took some more biscuits, date cake, and Milk Candies, hiding them in the woodpile.

Then she clapped her hands and smiled maliciously, “Sun Lixia, this time you’re doomed!”

So, when the afternoon’s work was done and Zhang Guihua opened the cabinet, her face darkened instantly.

Many items in the cabinet were not in their proper place, and several pieces of Milk Candy and date cake were missing, with the biscuit box lid not properly closed.

Her face turned ugly as she quickly stepped out and asked the others sternly, “Some of my things in the cabinet are missing. Who stole them? Come out now.”

The family was taken aback, never expecting that someone would dare to steal from the old lady–it was like slapping a fly on a tiger’s head, audaciously bold.

Sun Lixia’s heart tightened upon hearing this, thinking she hadn’t taken much, so how could her mother-in-law have noticed?

Seeing no one confess, Zhang Guihua became even angrier, glaring at everyone in the room fiercely with her cloudy old eyes, “Whoever stole my things, if you admit it now and return them, I won’t hit you! But if I have to find out myself, I’ll break your damn legs.”

Sun Lixia felt a moment of panic but then spoke self-righteously, “Mom, I’ve been working outside all afternoon, it was Zhaodi and her sisters who came home first.”

That statement was almost tantamount to directly accusing the girls from the second room of stealing.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guihua’s murky, ferocious old eyes stared down the girls from the second room.

Da Ya hurriedly waved her hands, “Grandma, we didn’t steal anything, we wouldn’t dare to steal your things.”

Zhaodi also deliberately showed a confused and scared expression, “Grandma, we didn’t enter this room after coming back from work.”

“Hmph, I’ll know when I search,” replied Zhang Guihua persistently.

Zhang Guihua had always looked down on the several girls from the second room, and now that Sun Lixia had pointed the finger, she subconsciously assumed they were the thieves.
