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

Grandma Xia remained indifferent, not caring whether he came or not, because the outcome wouldn't change anyway.

The three people praising him turned into four, and Chen Xiangbei was getting sleepy listening to them, so he yawned.

Grandma Xia said, "In-laws, if there's nothing else, you can go back now. I won't keep you for dinner. I've already explained Xiang Dong's matter very clearly before, and you've all heard it clearly. You can't just take my words for granted."

“I never take back what I say. From now on, except for holidays and important events, please come less often. It annoys me.” Old Mrs. Xia frowned and made her point more clearly. “Of course, if you don’t even want to come during holidays, then so be it. My eldest son is now a member of the Zhu family. Do whatever you want with him.”

Chen Xiangdong couldn't sit still any longer. He had never heard Grandma Xia say such heartless things to him before, and he couldn't hold back any longer. "Mom, do you really have to treat me like this?"

Grandma Xia: "Yes, that's how I'm going to treat you. I get annoyed just looking at your family now."

Old Zhu frowned as well. "Xiang Dong's mother, what you're saying is too heartless. The child only made a small mistake. Are you going to abandon your son? Don't you want to have anything to do with him in the future?"

Grandma Xia: "This child has a special connection with your family, so I don't need to keep him here any longer."

Jiang Fangru hurriedly retorted, "Xiang Dong's mother, I already said that I said and did the wrong thing back then, and I have apologized to you. At worst, you can hold a grudge against me, but don't hold a grudge against the two children."

Grandma Xia pointed at them and said, "I've already hit them and scolded them, but they still act like they don't understand. I, Xia Yue'e, don't need a son and daughter-in-law who treat their parents like money bags and maids. Our family can't stand their behavior either, so it's better to send them to your family as soon as possible. You like it, don't you?"

"I've beaten you several times already, but you still won't learn your lesson. The second and third kids know what to do, so why are you so stupid? You think your own mother is easy to bully, so you only bully me. Do you want to bully me for the rest of your life?"

Chen Xiangdong: "Mom, I didn't. I've already said I'll know I was wrong from now on."

Grandma Xia wouldn't listen at all. "Afterwards, she even tried to threaten me by saying she wouldn't go back to her parents' home. If you really consider me your mother, why don't you think about whether I'll be angry and sad? If you were truly a filial child, you would never do such a thing."

That being said, Old Mrs. Xia had already suffered enough heartbreak in her past life, and she didn't care about these matters concerning her eldest son's family. She would use the children when they were useful, and kick them out when they weren't.

She also understood her sons. As long as she kept the money in her hands, wouldn't it be easy to get them to do things?

Old Chen and Chen Xiangbei also fell silent. They had previously thought that Old Lady Xia was too ruthless, but they never thought that she was also a mother who could feel sadness and grief. She must have been heartbroken to do such a thing.

Chen Xiangbei: "Brother, you've really gone too far."

Old Chen felt saddened. "You're a filial son, but you're not filial to your own parents. You're quite filial to your in-laws, though. Your mother is right, you should be their child."

Old Zhu and Jiang Fangru argued vehemently, but Old Chen was determined not to accept him. In the end, they talked themselves hoarse, but they couldn't change Old Chen's mind, let alone Old Lady Xia.

Seeing that they were unmoved by her words, Jiang Fangru also started to argue, "Since you say that Xiangdong will be my family's son-in-law, then fine. Tomorrow I will change Baoyuan's surname, and when Wenying's baby is born, it will also take our surname."

She observed Old Chen and Old Lady Xia, but they didn't react at all.
