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

"Third sister-in-law, is your head alright? I can't get away from here, otherwise I should have come with you." Chen Mei went over and asked with concern, while glancing at the people sitting around the table.

Grandma Xia didn't react, but Fang Rong gritted her teeth.

Xu Meiyu had composed herself, though the gauze on her head was still a bit irritating. She looked around and saw that the two broken windows were covered with plastic sheeting, the shards on the ground had been cleaned up, and everyone's wounds had been treated.

Aside from the awkward atmosphere, at first glance it looked like a gathering of very close relatives.

"Sister, you're so busy here, how could I possibly ask you to come with me? We relatives only get together a few times a year, you must be exhausted today." Xu Meiyu patted her hand as if nothing had happened.

She walked over and sat down, greeting everyone in turn.

When Chen Xiangnan saw her, his expression worsened. He was afraid she would reveal what had happened at the hospital, and that Old Madam Xia's anger would be directed at him.

Xu Meiyu simply raised an eyebrow at Chen Xiangnan, then sat down. Chen Weimin immediately put some food on her plate. "I heard a lot of noise inside just now. I wonder what they were saying?"

Chen Mei immediately launched into a long explanation, and when she got to the part about Chen Xiangdong splitting up the family property, Xu Meiyu's eyes widened in surprise.

No wonder they were all surprised that such a big thing had happened so quietly in Chen Wei's home.

Chen Weimin also disagreed with the division of the family property. His elder brother and his wife were still alive when the family property was divided up, and what a mess it was! Moreover, it was the eldest member of their next generation who was separated. If his parents were still alive, they would definitely be furious.

That's what he thought, and that's what he said.

Old Chen: "Third brother, our parents have been dead for so many years, there's no need to bring them up again. I also agreed to the division of the family property by my eldest son. If our parents really think I'm wrong, let them come to me, appear in my dreams, and beat me up."

"We've been separated for so long, what's the point of bringing this up again?"

Chen Weimin couldn't understand, "Brother, Baoyuan is our grandchild's first child, and you don't even care?"

Old Chen: "Of course I care. I care no matter which grandchild he is. But whether he calls me grandpa or maternal grandpa, aren't they all my children? Why are you being so feudal? It's just a surname and a form of address, what does it matter?"

“If a child is filial, he will remember me no matter what his status is. If he is not filial, he will not shed a tear even if I die in front of him. This has nothing to do with what title he is.”

Chen Weimin: "It's different, it's different. You weren't like this before. When I married Meiyu, you didn't even want me to move into their house, let alone become a live-in son-in-law. How did you become like this now? This is our Chen family's grandson. He will inherit our surname and carry on our family line."

Old Chen: "Alright, alright, I'm your brother, not your son. Don't talk to me like that. What's with all this talk about carrying on the family line? Baoyuan is doing just fine, isn't he? You're always talking about carrying on the family line. You're supposed to be a son of the Chen family, but think about how many years it's been since you visited your parents' graves. And now you're all over our parents."

He concluded, "You're a hypocrite."

Chen Weimin: "Dad, was it because I didn't offer sacrifices? There's a crackdown going on now, how could I dare to go? You didn't go either, did you?"

Old Chen: "That's right, because I don't care about that. Just treat people well while they're alive, who cares about them after they die? If you have that kind of heart, be good to your wife and pay more attention to your children, that's better than anything else."

Chen Weimin: "How can they be the same?"

Old Chen put down his chopsticks and slammed his fist on the table. "Are you still not done yet? Your nephew Xiang Dong agrees, your sister-in-law and I agree, and Bao Yuan has no objections. Why are you the one with the most objections? What exactly do you want?"

Chen Weimin retorted, "I just think it's wrong of you to split the family property!"

Old Chen: "So what if I'm wrong? Am I wrong? If you don't like it, then come and kill me, hit me on the head! Come on, hit me!"

Chen Weimin was amused by his older brother's shameless behavior, "Big brother!"

Old Chen: "Shut up!"

Chen Weimin sat down angrily. He had more to say anyway, and if he didn't listen now, he would definitely regret it later.

They'll all have to rely on their eldest son to support them in their old age. But his older brother has gone and separated the family property from his eldest son. Who will support them in their old age then? The second son?

He felt that their second child was already so old that he definitely wouldn't agree, and their third child would be even less likely to agree, as he was still an immature child.

They've raised Chen Xiangdong to this age, and now they're just sending him away like that? Don't they think about their future?

Chen Weimin still cares about his elder brother because his brother had suffered too much because of his younger brothers, and he didn't want his brother to be destitute in his old age.

As for the eldest sister-in-law, she's with the eldest brother anyway. As long as the eldest brother, the head of the family, agrees, how could the eldest sister-in-law possibly object?

Don't be fooled by how fierce his sister-in-law was when she was fighting. In his memory, she always listened to his brother the most. So his brother must be unhappy with them lately, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed her to beat his younger brother and sister-in-law like that.

Tonight or tomorrow, he must find an opportunity to ask his older brother what exactly he resented about them.

Seeing that they had stopped talking, Chen Mei continued talking about her older brother's family. When she mentioned that Chen Xianghong had found a job as a sales clerk at the supply and marketing cooperative in Haishi, she gave Chen Xianghong a thumbs up and praised her highly.

Xu Meiyu also praised, "I never expected that Xiang Hong, who doesn't stand out from the crowd, would become the most successful child in the family. I was thinking that if you were still in the countryside, you wouldn't be able to take such good care of yourself. It turns out you found a good job, which is really great."

"The clothes you're wearing today, are they from Haishi? I haven't seen this pattern here."

Chen Xianghong nodded, "Yes, the new models just came out in Haishi too."

Fang Rong was a little jealous. "You girl, you spend money recklessly as soon as you have it. New clothes are bound to be expensive. If you save this money for your mother, she could probably save up a portion of your brother's future dowry."

Grandma Xia pursed her lips. "My third son won't need my second sister-in-law to worry about getting married. My Xiang Hong is a very promising person. She should dress up nicely every day, use good face cream, and take good care of herself. She can earn her own money, so she must spend it on herself."

“My family isn’t like yours, where only Weijun earns money. My salary and Lao Chen’s salary are enough for our whole family. Besides, Lao San will also earn money to save for his wife in the future. If he can’t save enough, how can he face marrying a girl? He can’t just marry her and let her eat chaff and wild vegetables.”

"He knows his own capabilities and will marry a wife as good as he can."

Chen Xiangbei chewed on a piece of meat: ...What does Mom mean? Does she not care about my future marriage?

He panicked a little. Yes, yes, his mother didn't care about his second brother's marriage at all now, and she probably wouldn't care about him in the future either. He was at a disadvantage again.

Why is it that the family takes care of his older brothers' first marriages, but not his? He wants to protest, he's not satisfied!

He'll make a huge scene when he gets home; that's a huge deal for him, and he'll absolutely not let it go.
