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

Old Chen's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, they came to ask. "I invited them for a day. I saw that the child had a hard time. After all, he is our own son. I'll lend a hand if I can. Just like he said, consider it as his family going to support him."

Grandma Xia raised her hand to point at him and scold him, but Old Chen misunderstood and thought she was going to slap him again. He reflexively stuffed the money he had just taken from the eldest brother into her hand.

"This is compensation from the boss, it's not like I took the day off for nothing, you can't hit me."

Grandma Xia casually stuffed the money into her pocket, thinking that her eldest son had finally learned his lesson this time.

Thinking he had escaped a close call, Old Chen gave Chen Xiangdong a look that said, "See? I told you your mother was going to hit someone."

Chen Xiangdong actually believed it. If that were the case, his mother probably wouldn't have helped him for nothing, since he hadn't bought anything and had no money left.

However, the matter was urgent. After thinking for a moment, he made up his mind, "Mom, please help us. I'll give you two hundred yuan." He was afraid that if he said less, his mother would not agree, as she was now very demanding.

Grandma Xia immediately felt less resistant. She had almost softened her heart just now. Just like Old Chen said, he was her son after all, even though he had never been good to her and had indirectly caused her death in her past life.

Just as she thought of her death in her previous life, her heart hardened. Just as she was about to refuse, the boss said he would give her the money.

She didn't like the eldest brother's family, but who would turn down money? She was good at arguing, especially since the eldest brother and his family were in the right this time.

"Okay, but I'm not doing this for the money, I just..." Old Mrs. Xia wanted to use the sweet words of Widow Huang, but faced with her eldest son's gloomy face, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

"Fine, when are you going to pay me?"

Chen Xiangdong: ...Is this what they mean by "money makes the world go round"?

"Mom, I don't have any money right now." Chen Xiangdong was a little embarrassed. All his money was with his wife, and he didn't know if he could come up with two hundred yuan. But once his mother defeated that bunch of monsters from the Zhu family, they would have money.

"What are you talking about if you don't have money?" Old Mrs. Xia said, pulling Old Mr. Chen away.

Chen Xiangdong tugged at her clothes, "Mom!"

Grandma Xia turned around and slapped him hard across the face, finally feeling a little better.

Chen Xiangdong was furious but dared not speak out. "Mom, as long as you help me, I'll give you the money when they lose money."

Grandma Xia refused, saying, "I won't go. I don't trust you."

Chen Xiangdong immediately changed his tune, "Come to the hospital with me, and I'll have Wenying give you a deposit, okay?"

"We really don't have that much money on us. Who goes out with two hundred yuan on them?" he said pitifully.

Grandma Xia hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

"Wait for me a moment, I'll go ask for leave."

Chen Xiangdong finally felt a little relieved. With his mother's help, he was sure she could wipe out those bastards without leaving a single one alive.

The group rushed to the hospital. As soon as they entered the ward, Jiang Fangru stood up as if facing a formidable enemy.

"What are you doing here? Didn't we all say we wouldn't interfere with Xiang Dong? He's now a son-in-law of the Zhu family, what are you meddling in for?"

Zhu Wenying felt like she had found her pillar of support; she hadn't thought Old Lady Xia would come today. It just goes to show how deep the bond is between mother and son; it seems they still value Xiang Dong's family.

"Mom." She immediately felt wronged and wished that Old Lady Xia would stand up for them right away.

Grandma Xia ignored her completely and went straight to Jiang Fangru, saying, "I did make him your son-in-law, you don't need to keep reminding me, I have no intention of letting them go back."

Jiang Fangru: "So what's the meaning of your current look, like you're looking for someone to settle scores with?"

Grandma Xia: "I did send my eldest son to your house, but I didn't sell him to you. Even the farmhands of a heartless landlord are allowed to have their families visit them. How come your family is even more ruthless than a heartless landlord? You won't even let your family members come to visit? It seems you really did something wrong."

Jiang Fangru said angrily, "Don't label people randomly. I didn't say that."
