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

Chen Weijun was watching the commotion from the sidelines when he saw his wife running out and shouting, seemingly oblivious to her own safety, and he had a bad feeling.

He still vividly remembered the scene of Xia Yue'e chasing him with a machete at his older brother's house. After returning home that day, out of consideration for his male pride, he did not tell Fang Rong about it, so Fang Rong had no idea of ​​Xia Yue'e's lethality.

Chen Weijun was torn about whether to get involved. If he didn't, it wouldn't be a man's job to just stand by and watch his wife get beaten. But if he got involved, he would inevitably get hurt if they started fighting, and he didn't want to get hurt.

Yes, Chen Weijun was quite certain that they would fight a second time. Judging from Xia Yue'e's fearless expression, she had no intention of letting them off the hook.

He even took a moment to pray for his niece, Chen Xin, hoping that her wedding could proceed as planned.

Chen Weijun finally rushed out. He was afraid of being beaten, but he was also afraid of a bad reputation. The incident at his older brother's house was fortunate that none of the people there knew him; otherwise, he would have been losing sleep over it, feeling like everyone was laughing at him behind his back.

However, if it's just embarrassing in front of strangers, then it's okay. In a few days, who will remember who he is or what happened?

But this situation is different from before. This is in front of his own love and warmth, and he absolutely cannot be a coward.

"Fang Rong, what are you doing?" Chen Weijun asked with dissatisfaction. If she had stayed in her room and not come out, he wouldn't have had to make such a difficult choice.

He didn't know whether to help his older brother or his younger brother, so he could only vent his anger on Fang Rong for now.

Fang Rong even thought she had finally been smart for once. What a great opportunity this was to curry favor with the third brother's family. Since her eldest brother wouldn't help her two sons find jobs, she wouldn't blame her for siding with the third brother and Chen Mei's family.

Just as she was feeling smug, she heard her husband shout, seemingly extremely dissatisfied with her. She felt wronged. Who was she doing this for? Wasn't it for Chen Weijun's two little brats?

"I didn't do anything. What could I have done? I just couldn't stand seeing my eldest sister and third sister-in-law being bullied. No offense, but sister-in-law, you've gone too far. We're all relatives, and this is Xinhe's wedding. Is it really necessary to make such a big deal out of this?"

Grandma Xia smiled and asked, "What's wrong with me?"

Fang Rong perked up at this retort, "You still dare to say what's wrong with you? Seeing my eldest sister and third sister-in-law like this, I know it was you who did it. As the eldest sister-in-law, how can you not show any love to your younger siblings?"

Chen Weijun's vision went black. This was going to completely transfer his sister-in-law's anger to their side. Fang Rong, that idiot.

"What do you know? You were inside the house and had no idea what was happening outside, yet you dared to spout nonsense. What does this have to do with you?" Chen Weijun pulled her away, trying to keep her away from the conflict.

Fang Rong wouldn't have it. "Chen Weijun, don't drag me into this. You say you don't know what happened? Then tell me! You were outside the whole time, you must know. Did your sister-in-law bully your third sister-in-law? If she really did, even if she's your sister-in-law, I'll give her a piece of my mind."

“It’s one thing for her to bully me before, but I’m a magnanimous person and I won’t hold a grudge. It’s all in the past, and we can still be good relatives. But my third sister-in-law has never suffered any grievances since she was a child. She can’t have been married into the family for twenty years and suddenly start to be bullied by her eldest sister-in-law, can she?”

Old Chen and Chen Xianghong wanted to retort, but Old Lady Xia stepped out from behind, looking calm, as if Fang Rong wasn't talking about her.

“Fang Rong, we all know what you’re thinking. If you and Chen Weijun want to fawn over Xu Meiyu, then you can fawn over her yourselves, even if you have to kneel down and fawn over her, but don’t drag me into this whole thing of putting one down and praising the other.”

Fang Rong was furious: "Who are you calling a bootlicker?"

Grandma Xia pointed at her and Chen Mei, "Of course it's you and her, who else could it be? Now you two and Chen Mei are her dogs, and in the future your sons will be her sons' dogs, it's a hereditary system!"

"Xia Yue'e, do you think you're so high and mighty? Have you forgotten how your eldest brother sent you to your third sister-in-law's house to work as her nanny? At least my eldest sister and I were willing to do something for her, but you just put your face under their feet and let them trample on you."

"In my opinion, you and your older brother are the most despicable people!"

Old Chen's face turned pale. In the past, to strengthen his bond with his younger siblings, he would ask Grandma Xia to help out at their homes. When he first asked Grandma Xia to go to his third brother's wife's house, he felt a little uneasy, but Grandma Xia didn't object. Instead, she quickly convinced herself, took leave from work, packed her bags, and set off early the next morning.

When she returned two months later, she didn't complain or mention what happened there. Gradually, Old Chen forgot about it.

He felt that family members should help each other, and since his wife was such a hardworking person, it wouldn't be difficult for her to lend a hand to his third brother's wife. Asking for help from outside would cost money and he wasn't comfortable with it; he felt more at ease sending family members.

In his eyes, this was the demeanor of an elder sister-in-law.

He didn't expect that in other people's eyes, Old Lady Xia's behavior was seen as self-degradation.

Now, because of this incident, Old Chen is being verbally abused by his second sister-in-law, and he can't utter a single word, even though he's the most foolish person around. He was the one who asked Old Lady Xia to come over, and he's the one who caused her to be insulted.

But he felt that Old Lady Xia was also at fault. She was a capable person, so why didn't she refuse at the time? It was because of this incident that it was so natural for him to ask her to go to her eldest daughter-in-law's family to help out, because in his eyes, it was no big deal at all.

So, it's not entirely his fault; his wife shouldn't be angry with him over this.

In a few moments, many thoughts raced through Old Chen's mind, but even after convincing himself, he still felt uneasy.

At this moment, Xu Meiyu's complexion improved. Hearing Fang Rong say this, she remembered how Old Lady Xia had been treated like a servant in her home, and how she had come to the point where she was completely subservient to Fang Rong.

So when she came over today and saw her kind sister-in-law, she couldn't help but want to ask her to do something for her.

Habits are the root of all evil, Xu Meiyu said with a mocking look as she looked at Old Lady Xia.
