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

Old Mrs. Xia sneered, "Yes, be more understanding."

Jiang Fangru was satisfied. "You said about contributing to household expenses. We're family, so this is a bit too hurtful. Maybe we shouldn't contribute anymore. Also, Baoyuan is still a child, so there are bound to be a lot of things to wash. Sometimes you, my dear in-law, will have to lend a hand."

Grandma Xia: "If it were your child, would you not only not pay household expenses but also have to lend a hand?"

Jiang Fangru immediately said seriously, "Of course, I also feel sorry for the children being tired, so of course I will help them as much as I can. They are young, and the money they earn has to support themselves and their children, so it's not enough for them. I definitely won't let them pay any money, and I will even subsidize them."

Grandma Xia: "What if I say no? I'll not only make them contribute to household expenses, but I'll also make them hand over all their wages?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiangdong rushed out, pointed at Old Lady Xia's nose, and cursed, "How can you be like this? Even the Ma family isn't as ruthless as you. Are you still my mother? You weren't like this before. I even suspect you've been possessed by a ghost. You're terrifying to me now."

“You’re still Bao Yuan’s own grandmother, but you’re not as considerate as his maternal grandmother.”

Jiang Fangru was overjoyed. She knew she was better than that old hag Xia in every way, even when it came to taking care of children.

Old Mrs. Xia used to be someone who just kept to herself and worked hard. But then, I don't know what got into her, she started hitting people. It was terrifying!

She's different; she's not the vulgar type. She does everything meticulously.

Grandma Xia rolled her eyes. "Alright, alright, I'm not your biological mother, I'm a vengeful ghost here to take your life, okay?"

She didn't even want to talk to him; she knew it would be pointless. Of her three sons, the eldest was the dumbest. He had always had poor grades in school, and if it weren't for the extra years of tuition, he might not have even graduated high school.

After graduation, he was fortunate to be hired when the factory expanded its recruitment. He was accepted despite having the worst grades.

Even so, he was still smug and self-important, thinking himself to be the most powerful person in the world.

Grandma Xia thought that even the third son, who was a fool, might be smarter than him; at least he never repeated a grade in high school.

Chen Xiangdong's words were cut off again. He felt that his mother was really stubborn and didn't know what was wrong with her.

Jiang Fangru said proudly with a lecturing tone, "Mother-in-law, not to be rude, but you should change your ways. If you continue like this, I won't let Wenying and her husband go back with you. I might as well keep them here and let them be my Zhu family's children. It wouldn't be bad to let Xiangdong be a son-in-law. Old Zhu and I can afford to support them!"

Grandma Xia was just waiting to hear those words. She felt extremely relieved and hoped that Jiang Fangru would not regret it later.

Grandma Xia pursed her lips, trying her best not to laugh out loud. "Jiang Fangru, are you serious about what you're saying?"

Chen Xiangdong also felt that he had to get his mother under control this time so that they could have a good life in the future, so he immediately replied, "I'm not as comfortable at home as I am at my wife's family home. I also want to be a live-in son-in-law. It just depends on whether Mom agrees. If Mom agrees, I will change Baoyuan's surname immediately tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiangdong felt confident that his mother would be shocked and beg them to go back, and that she would never refuse to help them again.

He looked into the house, and Zhu Wenying gave him a thumbs up. She also felt that her man was really brave and amazing.

They were all waiting for Old Lady Xia to back down.

"Alright, let's do it that way." Old Mrs. Xia smiled. "From now on, eldest son, you'll be the Zhu family's son-in-law. I'll use your room as a storage room."

Chen Xiangdong didn't hear what he wanted to hear. After a moment of stunned silence, he began to doubt his own ears. "Mom, what are you saying? If I become a live-in son-in-law, your eldest grandson will become the eldest grandson of the Zhu family and change his surname to Zhu."
