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

Just as Fang Rong made her move, Old Mrs. Xia had already lifted her bottom off the stool. Although she was annoyed by these people, the second son's family was a ticking time bomb; who knew who might explode today? She always had to be prepared.

Then, she watched helplessly as Fang Rong got into a fight with Xu Meiyu. Old Mrs. Xia sat back down on her stool and pulled Chen Xianghong back to help.

She felt that this was not something they could solve, so she decided to wait and see.

When Chen Mei heard Fang Rong's obviously provocative words, although she knew that Fang Rong was trying to provoke them, she still felt uncomfortable because she thought Fang Rong's words made sense.

Xu Meiyu is indeed capable, and her family is powerful. I have to please her in every way for the sake of my children. Isn't she just occasionally giving me a little something when she's in a good mood? It's really no different from teasing a dog.

These past two days, everyone's gathered together because of Xinhe's wedding, but look what these people have been doing on this joyous occasion! Yesterday they were fighting, today they're kneeling down – they're practically making her house unbearably no place to rest.

Chen Mei thought it over carefully. Yesterday, Xu Meiyu had started the trouble first. If it weren't for Xu Meiyu wanting some kind of sweet soup, she wouldn't have told her sister-in-law, and her sister-in-law wouldn't have fought with her, a new mother. If Xu Meiyu hadn't pretended to be a good person, her sister-in-law wouldn't have fought with her. If her second sister-in-law hadn't helped Xu Meiyu, her sister-in-law wouldn't have fought with her.

Ultimately, Xu Meiyu is nothing but a troublemaker, making a complete mess of things. She just clearly stated that Xinhe isn't her daughter, and she wouldn't care if she died.

Poor Xinhe, marriage is a woman's most important event, but trouble has arisen for two consecutive days, making the beginning unsuccessful. How unlucky!

She didn't know if Xinhe knew what was happening inside, but she didn't have time to comfort her. The man was coming soon, and she needed to appease these two bitches first.

Chen Weimin was pulling Old Chen, who was watching the show, along, hoping that his elder brother could persuade his sister-in-law to stop acting like that. He thought that his sister-in-law was really outrageous and that no relative could behave like that.

Like Old Lady Xia, Old Chen didn't want to get involved in this mess. "Third brother, what's the use of you dragging me along? You might as well let Second Brother go and talk to his wife. How can I, as the eldest brother, persuade her? What can I say? Second Brother's wife has already pointed her finger at your wife and started cursing. What if I go and get beaten up?"

“If she hits me, should I fight back or not? If I don’t fight back, I’ll feel really frustrated, but if I do fight back, people will say I’m not magnanimous. I won’t go over there, I’ll go and call the second brother for you. The second brother is really sleeping like a log, his wife is practically tearing the roof off and he’s still lying there comfortably.”

Old Chen broke free from Chen Weimin's hand, turned around, and went out the door.

"Second brother, get out here! Second brother! Your wife is about to smash up Chen Mei's house. Are you planning to run away and not pay compensation? Second brother, your wife is destroying someone else's place, and you're not going to do anything about it?"

Old Chen can be really cunning sometimes. He knows Chen Weijun must have gotten up a long time ago. He's the kind of person who loves to take advantage of others and would rather stay up all night at Chen Mei's house eating snacks, as if he would be at a disadvantage if he didn't get a bite.

Fang Rong was almost in a fight today, but he and his two sons didn't show up. They probably all knew what Fang Rong did this morning, but because of their pride or other reasons, they deliberately didn't show up, leaving Fang Rong to bear the bad reputation alone.

He's familiar with this kind of thing too, back in the day...

Forget about that for now, let's get him out of there first. Old Chen deliberately raised his voice to recount Fang Rong's misdeeds, and also to criticize Chen Weijun for being stingy and unwilling to repay the money. He wanted to play the good guy behind the scenes, but Old Chen wouldn't let him have his way.

"Second brother, your wife said you were the one who instigated this. Are you not coming out because you're too ashamed to face anyone, or are you trying to shift the blame to your wife? Poor sister-in-law, her back is already bent at her age. It seems she's taken the blame for a lot of things for you."

"Stop being a coward. Everyone in our family knows what kind of person you are. Come out and drag your wife away. It's one thing for you to be a coward, but why are you dragging your two sons along with you? You're the big turtle, and your sons are the little turtles. Heh heh, they're cut from the same cloth."

Old Chen suddenly covered his mouth. Wasn't "inheriting the same bloodline" an insult to himself? Damn it, he almost forgot that Chen Weijun was his own brother.

Old Chen rallied his spirits and changed his insults until Chen Weijun could no longer bear it, opened the door, and walked out with a dark face.

With a loud bang, he slammed the bedroom door shut, much to the dismay of the homeowners. Repairing the broken door would cost a lot of money. "Second Brother Chen Mei, be gentle! Even if you're angry, don't take it out on our door!"

Chen Weijun: "Why are you so annoying? The door isn't broken."

"What if it breaks? Are you going to compensate me? You even cheat your own relatives, how can you possibly compensate an outsider like me?"

Chen Weijun glared at him: "What do you mean?"

"Can't you hear what I mean? I'm asking you, are you going to compensate us?"

Chen Weijun: "You want me to pay for the door even though it's not broken? Be careful, I'll report you to the police and say you're trying to extort me."

"Oh, you're going to call the police? Don't get yourself into trouble. Someone like you who owes money and doesn't pay it back will probably spend several years in jail."

“We kept quiet yesterday to give Chen Mei and the others face. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let you in. Who knows if someone like you would steal my things in the middle of the night?”

Enraged, Chen Weijun raised his fist and demanded, "Say one more word?"

The homeowner, not wanting to be beaten on such a day, muttered to himself and went into his house, closing the door behind him.

Seeing that he had scared the person away, Chen Weijun felt a rare sense of accomplishment. He had been almost driven to despair by his own brother's scolding these past two days.

"Brother, can you please stop talking nonsense?"

Old Chen: "Sigh, these days you can't even speak the truth. Forget it, I'll talk about my business later. You should settle things with your wife first; she's gone mad."

Chen Weijun: "How could she be crazy? Even if you hate our family, you can't just make things up out of thin air."

Old Chen: "The noise is so loud right next door, are you getting old and hard of hearing? Can't you hear that? Ligang, Liqiang, did you hear that?"

Chen Ligang shook his head. "Uncle, I can't hear you. Is it because you're old and your hearing is failing?"

Chen Weijun gave his son a reassuring look. Yes, that's what we'll say. They can't go over there now, or the whole family will get scolded.

First, let Fang Rong play the villain. When it's time for her to get a job, he can then help his two sons play the good guy and repair their relationship. At that time, the same method can be used to get the second son a job.

Chen Weimin thought everyone was a fool like them, and even believed that the relationship could be repaired.
