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

Chen Xiangnan immediately picked up Chen Lingling again and pulled her into the kitchen, saying, "I'll go help too."

Old Mrs. Xia asked sarcastically, "You want to see him?"

Old Chen: "What are you saying? That's my son. Can't I even ask him?"

Grandma Xia: "Sure, you can even have dinner with him."

Old Chen: "They went out to eat? That can't be right. He's such a shrewd guy; if he can afford to eat our food, he won't spend his own money. So, where did they eat?"

Grandma Xia pointed outside, "He went to his mother-in-law's house for a meal, saying he wanted to become a live-in son-in-law and would never come back."

Old Chen was furious. "Nonsense! He's getting more and more outrageous as he gets older, even talking about being a live-in son-in-law. In the past, only the most worthless men would do that. What's wrong with him?"

Grandma Xia: "They're forcing me now that I'm not working as their nanny anymore, tsk~"

Old Chen looked up, as if he wanted to say something, but then held back.

Grandma Xia: "Why are you being so coy? Just say what you have to say. At worst, I'll beat you up. What's there to be afraid of?"

Old Chen thought to himself: ...That's why I don't dare to speak up if I'm going to get beaten up. I'm just afraid. Who isn't afraid of getting beaten up? This old woman is just like the eldest son. The older she gets, the more outrageous she becomes!

However, he still said it: "How can family members be considered nannies? Isn't it just about helping each other? If you help him, he will take good care of you in your old age. If you keep arguing over housework every day, our family will never have peace in the future."

Grandma Xia: "Then you should do your best, and they will be the most filial to you in the future. If I don't do my best, I'll just have money. I can't count on them."

Old Chen: ...Why is he so stubborn!

That evening, Old Chen whispered in Xia's ear, saying that as the main breadwinner of the family, he shouldn't do housework anymore. He also felt that Xia shouldn't do it either, and that the children, especially those who had nothing better to do, should do it.

For example, the third brother, and the second brother who lost his job and became a street hustler, Xiang Hong can do housework even though she hasn't been to work these past few days. When she goes back to work, she can stop doing housework or do less of it.

Grandma Xia agreed and announced the news early the next morning.

Chen Xiangnan was unhappy. He had important things to do when he went out every day. It was ridiculous for him to be locked up at home doing laundry and cooking all day.

But his objection based on this reason was ineffective.

He continued, "Mom, my older brother and his wife only pay five yuan each for household expenses, and they keep the rest of the money themselves. Why don't they have to do any housework? I've already paid, and Xianghong will pay too. Why should we have to do housework? It's all five yuan, and we're all your children, Mom and Dad. I'm not having it!"

When Grandma Xia heard this, she thought it made sense. Why should all the children pay the same amount of money? Those who have jobs don't do housework, while Kuku, who doesn't have a job, does it. And their wages aren't shared with the other children. So, Grandma Xia stared at the eldest couple's room and made a decision.

"Mom thinks you make a lot of sense, but they have to go to work and don't have much time to do housework. What should we do? Mom just thought of a great idea."

Chen Xiangnan asked, "What method?"

Grandma Xia smiled and said, "Isn't the eldest son planning to become a live-in son-in-law? Let's make this a done deal. Later, you guys can pack up their things and send them to their father-in-law's house. Tell them they don't need to come back unless necessary, and they don't need to pay any money. Just consider it as me marrying off a son. Isn't that enough?"

The other people in the living room: ...Huh?

Chen Xiangnan felt uneasy. It wasn't right to just casually separate his elder brother's family from the family business like that.

Old Chen shouted in protest, "No, no! How can you kick them out? You're showing your dissatisfaction with them! How will they face the world after this? How will we face the world?"
