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

The third brother got off reluctantly, since he was the only young person sitting in the back. He couldn't very well let his father go, since his second brother was riding in front.

He had just pushed the eldest brother away when the tricycle sped off, and he couldn't keep up, so he could only run behind.

"Wait for me! Wait for me!" Chen Xiangbei thought bitterly; he hadn't even gotten on the bus yet.

Chen Xiangdong ran behind, crying, "Mom, don't leave me behind! Mom, I won't separate from you!"

Grandma Xia: "Second son, ride faster, don't let the eldest son get on your heels."

Chen Xiangnan's legs were practically sparking from riding so fast. He was also worried that if he couldn't ride fast enough, his mother would send him away to live with another family.

The eldest brother may be pitiful, but he also has to take care of himself.

I'm sorry, big brother, but it was your decision to force Mom. As her younger brother, I had no choice.

They only stopped when Chen Xiangdong couldn't catch up and stopped in an inconspicuous place, waiting for the third brother to run over.

Tonight, everyone's heart is in turmoil.

Oh, except for Old Lady Xia!

Chen Xiangnan stared at the flickering lights in the distance, his heart filled with unease.

Zhao Hui's situation was unexpected, as was the situation at home, which made him feel very insecure.

I used to think these people were easy to understand, and I could tell what they were thinking just by looking at them. His mother wanted harmony in the family, his father wanted to be the head of the family, his older brother and sister-in-law wanted to get more benefits from their parents, his wife wanted to help her family, his younger brother only knew how to run away and play, and his sister was even less of a concern, just like her mother.

Later, Mom changed, Dad was forced to change too, his wife died, and now even his eldest brother and sister-in-law have been separated from the family.

His judgment was wrong once again.

Previously, he believed that no matter what, no matter what his mother became, she would still love them and would be bound to them by the identity of a mother. Therefore, no matter how outrageous she was, he would not be afraid of her and could take advantage of her without restraint.

But tonight, she separated her eldest brother's family from her; she would no longer tolerate everything about them.

If the child wasn't doing well, she simply gave up on him.

Another judgment he made was that his father's words were always more effective than his mother's. His father was the one who made the decisions in their family, so he only needed to give his father enough respect. As long as he respected his father, he could live well in this family.

Things have changed now. His parents' positions have undergone a dramatic shift, and he sensed it but didn't know why. It seemed that in just over half a month, his mother had gained control over his father, and when his father tried to regain control, she suppressed him.

The person in charge has changed, the atmosphere at home has changed, and he needs to be more careful from now on.

Chen Xiangnan secretly watched Xia Laotai for a while. If his mother were to take charge of the household in the future, his attitude had to change from now on, instead of helping his mother just for the benefit of the whole family.

His attitude towards Old Lady Xia finally underwent a substantial change tonight. He had to wholeheartedly consider his mother's well-being in order to gain greater benefits from her.

As for his father, since his status has changed, let him be.

After Chen Xiangnan pondered silently for a while, he drove the car full of people home after Chen Xiangbei jumped back into the car.

Chen Xianghong boiled water for them so they could take a nice bath.

Chen Xiangbei insisted on being the first to shower, saying he felt sticky and uncomfortable all over. He was about to go into the kitchen to get water when Chen Xiangnan pushed him away.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Chen Xiangnan almost lost his balance and shouted angrily.

"Don't make a fuss. You can go to school later or skip it altogether. Let your parents take a shower first; they have to go to work tomorrow." Chen Xiangnan said, then started fetching hot water.

"Mom, I'll get you some hot water. Go take a shower first. Moving my brother and the others' things today was really hard work."

Grandma Xia was stunned. Who had cast a spell on her second son? He was being so considerate to her. It was a little scary.
