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

Old Chen pushed his apprentice aside and ran away. He didn't want to listen to his boss's pitiful words. He didn't come to see his injured apprentice, but now that he was healed, the boss came knocking on his door without stopping.

His wife is right; their sons are all here to collect debts.

"Dad, why are you running? Stop running! There are people waiting at home!" Chen Xiangdong shouted.

Old Chen finally stopped. This eldest brother was really focusing all his efforts on his own family. He was blocking them from one side, while his family was arranging for others to wait. They were attacking from both sides, and no one could escape. Maybe his wife had someone waiting at the factory too.

He guessed correctly. As soon as Grandma Xia stepped out the door, Jiang Fangru called her back and took her arm, as if afraid she would run away.

Old Mrs. Xia cursed inwardly. She wasn't going to run away. She would never let her eldest son's family come back. They were a bunch of bloodsuckers.

The elderly couple were followed back home separately, and when they arrived, their eldest daughter-in-law was waiting outside the door.

"Dad, Mom, you're off work."

Chen Xiangbei hid inside the house. When the door was knocked on, he didn't know what to do and didn't dare to open it. He was afraid that if he let them in, his mother would be angry when she came back, so he could only pretend that no one was home.

Hearing the sound, he hurriedly ran out to open the door, only to be glared at by Zhu Wenying as soon as he opened it.

Zhu Wenying: Damn it, someone inside wouldn't let her in. She's pregnant! My brother is so clueless. I'll have to give him a good talking to when she gets back.

Chen Xiangbei glared back. His whole family had been kicked out by his mother, and she still dared to be mean to him? Who did she think she was?

"I wonder what brings you here, Mother-in-law?" Old Mrs. Xia poured water for the woman and sat down.

Jiang Fangru seemed to have difficulty speaking, but finally had to say it, "Xiangdong's mother, as parents, we always hope that our children will have a better life. The Xiangdong family doesn't behave properly in our home. We've thought about it and still think it's better for them to move back to their own home."

Grandma Xia nodded. "Yes, your home is their home. You said before that you were willing to accept them as sons-in-law, so they will be from now on."

Jiang Fangru felt awkward for a moment, inwardly cursing Old Lady Xia for being unreasonable. She truly didn't believe that the other party would give away the son she had raised with such care to another family. "Sister Xia, I know you're angry, but saying such hurtful things makes Xiangdong feel bad too. I was wrong before, so I apologize to you."

After saying that, she stood up and bowed, saying, "Please don't be angry with me anymore, and don't be angry with the two children either."

Grandma Xia: "I'm really not angry, and I guess Old Chen isn't angry either, right, Old Chen?"

Old Chen nodded. "Wenying's mom, we're really not angry. What we said at your house that day wasn't meant to offend anyone. Since this child wants to be your family's son-in-law, we have no choice but to agree. Our family unanimously approved, no one objects. Right, third brother?"

Chen Xiangbei looked bewildered. "Yes, no one objected."

After he finished speaking, he glanced triumphantly at Zhu Wenying. She had offended him, and sometimes he could decide their fate. How dare she glare at him?

And just like that, the opportunity for revenge came immediately.

Zhu Wenying's face turned pale. "Dad, Mom, Xiangdong said those words in anger. I was the one who encouraged him. If you want to blame someone, blame me, not him. He is your son. Don't you know what kind of person he is? He cares about you."

Jiang Fangru chimed in, "Yes, Xiangdong is such a filial son. He's been staying with us these past few days, and he's lost weight because he hasn't been eating or drinking."

Chen Xiangdong pleaded pitifully, "Dad, Mom, I really know I was wrong. I shouldn't have said those hurtful things to you. You can scold me or hit me if you want, but I'll never say it again. Just let me come back."

All three of them were saying nice things when Old Zhu arrived, looking travel-worn. "I'm so sorry, in-laws, I worked overtime and only just got here."
