No, not possible!

Su Zhen's heart pounded. She bit her lip, her eyes filled with gloom.

Su Li snorted coldly, and without turning her head, pulled her sister-in-law and younger brother out of the room and strode towards the front yard.

Watching Su Li's resolute back, Su Zhen's hands trembled slightly involuntarily. However, in the blink of an eye, her mind raced, and she quickly regained her composure.

Deep down, he even found his own blunder just now quite amusing.

Ha, let her do whatever she wants. I want to see what kind of joke she can make. In the Su family, it's not up to the fourth branch to talk nonsense!

Su Zhen chuckled and shook her head, then followed closely behind.

"Mother, elder brother, has Father woken up?" As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Su Xiangsheng couldn't help but rush towards his father.

With a pale face, Hu leaned weakly against her eldest son, Su Xiangyang, both of them seemingly filled with despair.

Meanwhile, her husband, Su Qingfeng, was still lying weakly on the ground.

His face was flushed, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans, clearly indicating that he had developed a high fever.

What's even more alarming is that the right knee joint is twisted unnaturally and is constantly bleeding. Not to mention that he will become a cripple in the future, if this continues, he may even lose his life!

"Grandma, my father is in such a state, why don't you take him to the clinic quickly?"

Su Li suddenly turned her head, her eyes fixed on Old Madam Su, and almost shouted.

"Isn't my father your own son? Even now, are you still going to cling to your money bag and refuse to let go?"

No sooner had Su Li arrived than Su Zhen hurriedly followed, panting but calm and composed, showing no sign of panic.

"Su Li, how dare you speak to your grandmother like that? She's an elder!"

Su Zhen frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes. She walked lightly to Old Madam Su's side, affectionately and naturally taking the old lady's arm, and said with a cold smile:

"Grandma, I told you Su Li was faking it. She's perfectly fine. They just can't stand seeing my dad doing well, so they're deliberately trying to pick a fight to swindle money from you."

Grandma Su frowned, her gaze falling on Su Li, her face darkening again. "Hurry up and apologize to Zhen'er! Who are you trying to impress with that long face? Nobody in this family owes you anything!"

She almost died during childbirth when she gave birth to her fourth child, and ever since then she has never been able to like that child.

The villagers all say that such a child is a debt collector who will eat the flesh and blood of his parents and brothers.

Looking back now, that statement was absolutely true. Not to mention the fourth brother, his entire family was clearly a bunch of debt collectors!

Especially the girl from the fourth son's family, she's so alluring and doesn't look like anyone from the Su family at all. Who knows, she might be some kind of evil spirit reincarnated as a scourge.

"You little brat, have you thrown away all your manners?"

"Your father was just unlucky; he went up the mountain to chop firewood and still managed to fall off. And your whole family is trying to blame it on someone else?"

Grandma Su's eyes widened in anger. She kicked the wooden basin away from the ground and began to curse at Su Li.

"Let me tell you, even if your father is dead, it's because the mountain god wanted to take him away; it's all fate! If you dare to cause any more trouble, I'll definitely teach you a lesson!"

Su Li stared blankly at the mean-looking old woman in front of her, a mocking smile slowly spreading across her lips.

In my previous life, my father passed away in the same mysterious way.

But the torn sleeve and the two deep fingernail scratches beneath it clearly indicated that something was amiss.

Everyone in the village saw that only my father and my second uncle's family went into the mountains that day, and then the accident happened. With such obvious flaws, how could it be that I was just making things up?

Su Li stared coldly at the two people in front of her with piercing eyes, showing no intention of backing down.

"Su Zhen, we can settle our scores later, but your father has harmed my father so badly, I will never let him off easily!"

She straightened her back and looked directly at Grandma Su. "Grandma, if I can produce evidence, will you still protect Second Uncle's family?"

Grandma Su was so angry that she trembled all over.

That brat, she keeps talking back, she really needs to be taught a lesson!

She opened her mouth to speak, but then she heard footsteps behind her.

"Li'er, look at you, you've made your mother so angry!"

Uncle Su and his wife rushed over. Madam Ma, with a smile on her face, went to Old Madam Su's side to pat her back and comfort her, her tone carrying a hint of reproach.

"I know you're worried about your father, but you can't talk back to your elders like that! And you even want to settle scores with our Zhen'er. It's just a little squabble between sisters, why are you holding a grudge?"

Uncle Su scratched his head, looking impatient:

"Mother, the sun has already set, why are you still arguing with Fourth Brother's family? Fourth Brother was careless, how can you blame me? I'm exhausted from chopping wood today, go cook dinner, what's the point of talking to a little girl..."

Looking at the Su family members who seemed indifferent to the matter, Su Li's brows furrowed tightly. She suppressed her discomfort and quickly walked to her father's side and squatted down.

She took a deep breath and tremblingly lifted her father's torn left sleeve, seeing the two familiar scars beneath the clothes, and a chill instantly enveloped her.

really!

"Second Uncle, you worked really hard chopping firewood on the mountain today, you should take good care of yourself!"

Su Li helped her mother, who was slumped on the ground, to her feet, and gave a forced smile:

"There's still some white flour hidden in the milk room, isn't there? White flour steamed buns are the most nourishing. Grandma will steam them all into buns in a little while, and I guarantee you'll have a good time."

Everyone's expressions froze; Su Li's words left them completely bewildered.

"Li girl, what nonsense are you talking about?" Madam Ma asked.

"Second Aunt, don't rush, I haven't finished yet. I've heard that human blood is the most nourishing medicine. Soaking these white steamed buns in human blood will surely make them even more nourishing!"

Su Li remained unfazed and continued, "Second Uncle, please don't wipe your hands when you take the steamed buns. The flesh and blood of your own brothers must taste even sweeter, don't you think?"

"Su Li, I think you've lost your mind!" Old Mrs. Su said with a dark face, raising her hand to strike Su Li's face.

Su Li neither dodged nor avoided, but instead ripped open her father's sleeve and shouted defiantly:

"Grandma, look at yourself. Don't you always say that those who eat the flesh and blood of their brothers are debt collectors? Second Uncle harmed my father like this, what else could he be but a debt collector?"

"Second Uncle, do you dare to show us your right hand? Let's see if there's still my father's flesh and blood under your fingernails. Are you still trying to deny it?"

On that pale skin, two shocking wounds were clearly visible, with crimson blood slowly seeping out, gathering and dripping along the edges.

Everyone was stunned.

"There were only my father and you on that cliff edge. Did my father catch it himself?"

Su Li's eyes were slightly red, but she forced herself not to let the tears fall. Her voice was sorrowful and tinged with disbelief.

"Second Uncle, my father is your own brother! What did he do to offend you that made you so heartless as to kill your own brother?"

Su Zhen had been observing everything coldly from the sidelines. Sensing that things were going badly, she narrowed her eyes slightly and spoke calmly:

"Su Li, do you have to turn our family upside down before you're satisfied? You've already cursed and made a scene, do you want to play the judge and list all of Grandma's crimes as well?"

Grandma Su's body trembled, and her anger surged up instantly. She forcefully broke free from Su Zhen's hand, gritted her teeth, and rushed towards Su Li, raising her hand high.

"I think you deserve to be punished!"

Su Li stubbornly raised her head, neither dodging nor avoiding, but at this critical moment, the main door of the house suddenly burst open.

Old Master Su coughed heavily:

"Stop it all!"
