She won't clear her name; she'll throw away all the scum.

"I... I should probably go now, my wife and kids are waiting for me at home."

In the end, Chen Weijun wanted to leave, and he noticed the meat his older brother had placed on the cabinet by the door—meat from their family.

So he grabbed the meat and prepared to run.

Then, his older brother grabbed him by the collar and dragged him back.

"Are you in such a hurry to leave? Don't go, we brothers haven't seen each other in a long time. Let's talk a little longer." Old Chen said with a forced smile, and with his other hand, he picked up the meat wrapped in oil paper and handed it to Chen Xianghong, telling her to put it in the kitchen cabinet.

"Brother..."

Grandma Xia slammed her hand on the table. "Sit down."

Chen Weijun was startled, and by the time he realized what was happening, he was already sitting upright at the table like a primary school student.

"And you, sit down too."

Old Chen also sat down with his head down.

Seeing that his elder brother listened to his wife, Chen Weijun swallowed his anger and rebuked Old Lady Xia. It seemed that his elder brother's family had undergone tremendous changes without his knowledge.

After all, Xia Yue'e is capable of even killing people, so who would dare disobey her?

Thinking about it this way, Chen Weijun understood why his older brother hadn't helped him earlier. It seemed he had been suffering for a long time. For a moment, his gaze towards Old Chen became one of sympathy and a hint of disappointment.

How can a grown man be controlled by a woman?

Just like their father, beat them when they don't listen, and they'll be obedient after that.

If Fang Rong treated him like that, he would have beaten her to death long ago. What kind of wife would constantly threaten to kill someone? She should be given a taste of her own medicine.

Chen Weijun was amused by the image he had conjured of beating Old Lady Xia to the ground and making her beg for mercy. A smile suddenly appeared on his lips. This was what it meant to be a man.

Suddenly, he felt a burning pain on his face. When he came to his senses, he realized that his damned sister-in-law had slapped him again.

"What are you doing?" Chen Weijun stood up, kicked the stool, and tried to rush over and hit back.

"Chen Weiguo, are you dead? You only intervened after I got beaten up!" Old Mrs. Xia turned around and angrily cursed Old Chen.

Old Chen realized what was happening and immediately restrained Chen Weijun, saying, "Are you looking for death?"

Chen Weijun cursed, "Brother, you're a coward, letting a woman ride roughshod over you. I'm not. There's no knife here, but I refuse to believe I can't kill her!"

Grandma Xia glanced at her two sons, and Chen Xiangnan immediately stood up. "Second Uncle, you don't think that my third son and I are dead, do you? That you can bully my mother like that?"

Grandma Xia nodded at him. Although the second son was not a good person, he was sometimes very useful. He was quick-witted and knew how to read the room, just like her!

Chen Weijun was stunned and shouted, "Did I bully her? She's the one bullying me! She hit me! Are you all blind?"

Grandma Xia: "An elder sister-in-law is like a mother. If your mother hits you, is that considered bullying?"

Chen Weijun: "You know she's my sister-in-law, right? What kind of sister-in-law chases her brother-in-law with a knife? You have no shame!"

Old Mrs. Xia pointed at Old Chen and scolded, "If you had even a fraction of your sense back then, you would have grabbed him and let me beat him a few times to vent my anger. Would I have needed to take out a knife? What were you doing back then? You ran faster than a dog, hiding as if you were afraid I would kill you."

Chen Xiangnan nodded in agreement, "Dad, you've gone too far."

Chen Weijun was already annoyed at being caught by his elder brother, and upon hearing Xia Laotai's words, he immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, elder brother, you're really too wicked. You actually ran away on your own. If you had caught me and let my sister-in-law hit me a few times, she certainly wouldn't have had to take out a knife. Look at you, we're in this mess because of your inaction."

Once Chen Weijun started talking, he went on and on, “You’re supposed to be a leader in the unit, but you don’t understand priorities. As soon as something goes wrong, all you do is run away. You have no sense of responsibility at all. After all these years, all you’ve achieved is a small leadership position. People who were in the same batch as you have already become directors or deputy factory directors. You’re really something.”
