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

Grandma Xia came out carrying the fish and gave an awkward smile.

This was the most embarrassing moment for her since her rebirth. What could be more embarrassing than secretly watching her son being cuckolded?

So, the son he loved so dearly in his past life wasn't his!

Hahaha, Grandma Xia wanted to laugh, but it seemed a bit impolite in front of the person involved, even though it was her son.

"Second son...we're having fish tonight." Grandma Xia picked up the fish and showed it to him. "This fish is fresh and big, perfect for us to nourish our bodies and brains."

Chen Xiangnan turned and left. He was already very upset, and being discovered by his own mother made him feel even more embarrassed.

That was bad enough, but now his mother is mocking him for being brainless, and he's really angry.

"Second brother, don't go, wait for me."

"Mom, if you keep saying that, I'll really get angry."

Grandma Xia: "You've already been cuckolded, so don't even think about getting angry, even if you ascend to heaven, it won't help."

Chen Xiangnan was even angrier. "Why didn't you come out to help me just now? I've helped you every time you've been in trouble before."

Grandma Xia felt that he seemed to have gone mad with anger. Only Chen Lingling from their family could say such a thing, but he was no longer a child.

However, seeing that he was really upset, Grandma Xia had no choice but to coax him, "Alright, alright, I'll come out and help you next time, okay?"

Chen Xiangnan: "Forget it, you should just stay out of the way and watch the show."

Grandma Xia: "What, are you afraid she'll say that the son is my child with her?"

Chen Xiangnan stopped in his tracks. "Mom, can you please stop talking about her?"

Grandma Xia laughed all the way and swore she would never tell anyone, which made Chen Xiangnan reluctantly let her into the courtyard.

"You absolutely must not tell anyone," Chen Xiangnan said to Grandma Xia again after entering the house.

Grandma Xia: "Alright, I know. Your mother isn't stupid. Here, you go cook the fish today. I'm going to pick up Lingling."

Chen Xiangnan: "I'll go pick it up, you cook the fish."

Grandma Xia chuckled to herself in the kitchen for a while. When she saw Chen Xiangbei slowly and unsteadily walking in from outside, she immediately called out, "Third brother, come in and clean the fish!"

As soon as Chen Xiangbei stepped into the house, he wanted to complain but didn't dare, afraid that his mother would beat him to death. So he could only grab the fish, knock it unconscious with a knife, and quickly clean it up.

In just a few days, he went from a young man who couldn't do anything to a skilled housekeeper.

They even kill fish exceptionally well.

"If you go to slaughter pigs and fish in the future, you'll definitely get promoted very quickly," Grandma Xia praised.

Chen Xiangbei hesitated for a moment, "Really? Can I really get a promotion?"

"Mom, why are you in such a good mood today?"

Grandma Xia grinned widely: "How could you be in a bad mood if you could eat fish?"

Chen Xiangbei grinned and said, "Yeah, what a day it is today! We can actually eat fish, and such a big one at that."

Chen Xiangnan brought Lingling back, first made her a bowl of malted milk powder to drink, and then sat on the stool in silence.

"What's wrong with Second Brother?" Chen Xiangbei asked curiously while hanging the scales on his clothes.

Grandma Xia: "Hahaha, I didn't know."

Old Chen came in at that moment, carrying an aluminum lunchbox. "Old woman, quickly heat up this turtle soup. The factory director's wife came over at noon today to make it for the director. I happened to be over there and got a bowl."

"What great luck today! This soup is so nourishing!"

Grandma Xia wiped her hands, opened the lunchbox and handed it to Chen Xiangbei, then sat down laughing.

Old Chen looked at Old Lady Xia with suspicion. Would she really go crazy over a bowl of turtle soup?

Chen Xiangbei noticed that his second brother's face had darkened even more, and he hadn't touched the turtle soup at all that evening.

"Second son, don't you like this?" Old Chen was quite satisfied with his drink, though there was only a little, just one chopstick of meat per person. But the soup was really delicious. Why didn't his second son touch it at all? He was quite a strange person.

Chen Xiangnan: "I won't eat it, I don't like it, I hate turtles the most!"

He slammed down his chopsticks and tried to leave the table, but Grandma Xia patted him hard on the back and made him sit back down, putting the chopsticks and bowl into the kitchen.

No one knew what had happened, except for Old Mrs. Xia, who was so frustrated she was almost suffering internal injuries.

However, if she calmed down and thought about it, she had also been a slave to that child in her past life, and she wasn't much better off than the second child.

Thinking about it this way, she suddenly got angry too.

Old Chen and Chen Xiangbei, who remained behind, were completely baffled. The second son and his wife were indeed mother and son, both acting so inexplicably.

The girl Lao Ma brought back was named Guan Tao; she seemed like a pretty easy-going girl.

At night, after everyone has finished showering, they sit in the breeze to cool off, while children run around and play.

For the first time ever, Old Ma's wife came out too. She moved a small stool and sat down in front of her house. When she saw people from the compound looking over, she had no choice but to close the gate and carry the stool over.

"Old Ma's wife, you'll be able to relax now that your son is married."

"When are you going to have the banquet? So we can all benefit from it."

"No wonder you had time to come out and chat with us today. At least Xiao Ma has someone to take care of him now."

"Where's Lao Ma? Why doesn't he come out? It's so stuffy inside."

Old Ma's wife chimed in with the others, her expression shifting between good and bad. "Old Ma's tired, he's too lazy to come out. Let's wait until we've come up with a plan for the banquet."

"That's true. Little Ma is already like that. What if... he goes crazy? The whole banquet will be wasted."

"Don't be too sad. As long as they are living a good life together, that's all that matters. I think Xiao Guan is a good kid."

"Can she control Xiao Ma by herself? It would be bad if she got hurt."

Old Ma's wife: "I've been watching him these past few days, and he's been quite obedient to her. If things don't work out, she'll call for help, and then Old Ma and I will go and help."

"Will Old Ma still hit you?"

Old Ma's wife shook her head. "No more fighting. After what happened, how could I dare to lay a hand on him again? Besides, if I lay a hand on him, my son's mental state will suffer."

"What a tragedy! If I had been nicer to my wife before, this wouldn't have happened."

"I think it's because your family's values ​​are wrong. If Old Ma didn't beat his wife, Little Ma wouldn't have followed suit."

"Little Ma was corrupted by his father."

"If... that thing hadn't happened, your family probably would have had a child by now, right?"

"I remember Xiao Ma's wife was pregnant before, but Xiao Ma beat her too badly when he was drunk and she lost the baby."

"A human life! If it hadn't been aborted, she'd probably be calling you grandma by now."

"Alright, alright, stop talking. Everyone makes mistakes."

Old Ma's wife could no longer laugh. Everyone was making fun of their family; she'd rather not have come at all.

“It wasn’t my son who had the abortion; it was her own health that prevented her from conceiving.”

His son's ex-wife couldn't keep the child herself, and she even told others that it was her son who aborted it. I should have just killed her.

The group exchanged glances. What do you mean she couldn't conceive? She was clearly beaten to death. Even if she couldn't conceive, it was still his fault that Xiao Ma's wife was injured.

It's all retribution.
