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

As dawn broke, Grandma Xia waited for her second son and his wife to return.

Last night, after Dong Chunmiao discovered that Chen Xiangnan was missing, she immediately realized that he had gone to her parents' house, so she immediately went after him.

When she arrived, her own brother was being brutally beaten by Chen Xiangnan. Her brother, already obese, was no match for the enraged Chen Xiangnan and was beaten even more severely.

Her family members were crying and screaming. Her mother protected her two nephews and wouldn't let them get close, while her brother and father dared not approach, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

"Stop hitting him, Xiang Nan!" Dong Chunmiao rushed over and stood in front of her brother. Chen Xiang Nan grabbed her and stopped abruptly.

The Dong family members were still trying to deny it, blaming Dong Chunmiao for the trouble and demanding compensation from her.

However, when Chen Xiangnan raised his fist again, they all fell silent, except for the two children who cried loudly, saying that their uncle was a big bad guy.

Seeing Chen Xiangnan look at the child, Dong Chunmiao's two sisters-in-law covered the child's mouth, like frightened birds.

The man who had just been beaten spoke incoherently, clearly terrified of the beating. But upon seeing Dong Chunmiao, he suddenly found the strength to curse her as a jinx.

Dong Chunmiao felt genuinely embarrassed after being scolded, so she bent down to apologize and even took out some money from her pocket to give to her mother.

Chen Xiangnan was watching closely; no one would dare take the money.

Dong Chunmiao was even more heartbroken when she saw that they didn't even want the money anymore.

Chen Xiangnan was at a loss for words when he saw his mentally unstable wife. But if he didn't cut off her ties with her family this time, who knew what kind of trouble she might cause Lingling when he wasn't home?

“You swear that you will never give your family a single penny of benefit again, and you will never ask anyone to help your family with anything, or your Dong family will be wiped out.”

Dong Chunmiao's eyes widened. Why should she swear an oath? This was her family home; how could she not help them?

She didn't say anything, so Chen Xiangnan raised his fist and started hitting her second brother.

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me!"

"Dong Chunmiao, you wicked woman, get out of here with your man!"

"Daddy~ Waaah."

Dong Chunmiao tried to stop him, but Chen Xiangnan kicked her away.

Her own mother cried out, "Swear it! If you don't swear, your son-in-law will beat your second brother to death! My dear second brother!"

Dong Chunmiao cried pitifully, but she still stubbornly refused to say anything. If she did, she would sever ties with her family. How could she do that?

It wasn't until one of her second brother's bloody teeth flew out and landed in front of her that she finally cried and swore an oath.

Chen Xiangnan stopped, a few drops of blood on his face, his hands swollen and bleeding.

Dong Chunmiao didn't even glance at him, and threw herself into her second brother's arms, repeatedly apologizing.

Her second brother, who had never suffered much hardship since childhood, was beaten like this. Chen Xiangnan is inhuman.

Seeing Chen Xiangnan leave, her mother breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately got up and pushed Dong Chunmiao away, saying, "Get out! Don't come to our house again. Do you want our family line to end?"

Dong Chunmiao was heartbroken. She had made the vow for her second brother, but the vow was too cruel. What would she do in the future? She was a woman without a family to rely on, and she had nowhere to seek justice when she was bullied.

She was driven out of her home by her closest relatives, and she dared not go back, fearing that her oath would leave her two brothers and nephews without a son to see them off in their old age.

On that summer night, her heart felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar, and she rushed to the hospital in a daze.

"You're back?" Grandma Xia was getting medicine for her granddaughter. "The doctor said she can be discharged soon. Go home and rest well."

"Mom, you've worked so hard."

Chen Xiangnan entered the ward and picked up the child, asking, "Are you still in pain?"

Chen Lingling shook her head: "It doesn't hurt anymore."

The group walked out of the hospital.

Dong Chunmiao had been silent at first, but as soon as she stepped out of the hospital, she suddenly rushed over, snatched Chen Lingling, put her on the ground, and pointed at her while cursing loudly.

It's all her fault. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be unable to go back to my parents' home, and my two brothers wouldn't have been injured. Chen Lingling just bumped her head on a rock; she's not dead.

Even if she dies, she deserves it.

The way Dong Chunmiao looked at her daughter was not like she was looking at her own child, but rather like she was looking at her father's killer.

Poor brothers, they have to pay for hospital visits. This good-for-nothing got to lie in the hospital all night peacefully—why?!

Ever since Grandma Xia beat up her eldest son and his wife and that old man at home, she felt like she had discovered a new continent. Not only did she no longer feel aggrieved, she even felt extremely satisfied.

She used to be afraid of conflicts at home, so she always compromised and endured it her whole life. But now she realizes that even if she confronts her family directly, nothing really happens; at most, they just give her a hard time.

It's not a big deal if they don't give her a friendly look. Even if she puts up with it, none of the family members will give her a friendly look. On the contrary, they often criticize her for not doing well.

Why didn't she beat him up sooner in her past life? It's all because of that old man who kept telling her that harmony in the family brings prosperity, ruining her life.

If you ask her, the worst person in this family is this old man.

Therefore, Grandma Xia's feelings over the past day and night were very complicated and novel; she felt as if she were a little different.

This time, she witnessed her second son's daughter-in-law brazenly hitting her granddaughter in front of her and even calling her a good-for-nothing. Last night, Old Mrs. Xia felt a bit itchy to hit her.

I just beat up three people yesterday, and I'm exhausted both mentally and physically. I'm also worried about my eldest granddaughter's health, so I haven't been able to take care of her for a while.

Now that she's still acting aggressively, Old Mrs. Xia is losing her composure. It seems that even her usually honest second daughter-in-law doesn't take her seriously.

Chen Xiangnan watched as his mother charged forward like a cannonball, and in the blink of an eye, she beat his wife until she was screaming.

He immediately shut his mouth, which was about to scold his wife, and opened his eyes wide.

He suddenly realized who he inherited his untrained fighting skills from last night. He had been wondering why he was so good at beating those two fat brothers-in-law. He had never hit anyone growing up, his father was a gentle old man, and his mother rarely fought, except when she was a bit harsh with her words.

This is a family secret technique!

"Oh dear, why are they fighting? Hey? Isn't this that patriarchal young wife from last night? She got beaten by her mother-in-law." It's that talkative old lady from last night again; she's getting juicy gossip again.

The onlookers were initially pointing and whispering about Old Lady Xia, wondering how such a fierce mother-in-law could actually start hitting people in public.

Upon hearing that there was more to the story, they immediately surrounded the old woman and began asking her questions.

The old woman thoroughly enjoyed the eager look in her eyes, and without holding anything back, she vividly recounted what had happened the previous night.

"I never knew it was like that. I thought this young wife was scolding her child because he was naughty and got hurt. Good heavens, there are mothers like this."

"She keeps calling her a money-loser; I think her mother-in-law deserved the beating."

"This poor girl, even her own mother doesn't love her, what good days will she have in the future?"

"So thin and small, does it not seem to eat much at home?"

"He's inhuman! No nephew is as good as a daughter."

"Serves her right. She loves going back to her parents' home so much. Why bother getting married and having children? She might as well stay at her parents' home and be an old maid for the rest of her life."

"Maybe she just wants to be an old maid for the rest of her life, working like a slave for her family. It's her family who don't want that and want to sell her for a high dowry. They might not even give her a penny of dowry when she gets married."

Chen Xiangnan looked at the speaker. Was it really that obvious? His wife really didn't bring any dowry and even left the wedding dress his mother bought at her parents' home. She married him wearing a tattered dress and was ridiculed by his sister-in-law for many years. Every year during festivals, she would bring it up.

His old and new grudges surged up, and he roared, "You deserve to be hit!"

Grandma Xia turned around and slapped him hard across the face. "What kind of good person do you think you are? Don't think I don't know about all the mess you've been up to outside?"

Chen Xiangnan covered his face in bewilderment. Why was he being hit?

Aren't we talking about Dong Chunmiao now?

What happened to him? Was he caught cheating on his wife? Or is he about to be found out about having a child with another woman?

Chen Xiangnan lost his temper and started thinking about Zhao Hui, the woman who was pregnant with his son.

What exactly did his mother find out?
