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

Chen Weijun lowered his head. He didn't want to remember those days, nor did he want to acknowledge his elder brother's sacrifices. Otherwise, who could he hate for the life he had endured during that time, when he was treated worse than a pig or a dog?

If it weren't for this hatred, he probably wouldn't have made it through that time. Just like his older brother said, it would have been better to let Mom take him away too.

Besides, what does the eldest brother mean by saying these things now? Isn't he just blaming his younger brothers for dragging him down?

But he was also raised by his parents. They raised him, so why shouldn't he take care of his younger siblings? That's his responsibility.

Since they've taken on this responsibility, what's wrong with their whole family relying on the eldest brother for a living? Isn't it said that the eldest brother is like a father? A father raises his son for a lifetime, so the eldest brother should also worry about his younger brother for a lifetime.

Why should everyone side with him just because he says he doesn't want to help them anymore? It's only because he's more capable and doing better than them. These people are all opportunistic.

Chen Weijun quickly convinced himself, and then started cursing the person who had just cursed him.

His logic is self-consistent within his own world, but when he says it aloud, it makes him seem close to madness. No normal person would say something like that with such confidence.

After hearing his elder brother's words, Chen Weimin immediately thought of the dilapidated house where he and his siblings used to hide. The windows were made of scrap paper and couldn't keep out the wind at all in the dead of winter.

Sometimes, my older brother wouldn't get any work for days, and they would just survive on water. Sometimes, when he was sick and couldn't afford medicine, my older brother would apologize to him with red eyes.

He still remembers the way his older brother fed him water; his hands, holding the bowl, were covered in chilblains and swollen like carrots. The chilblains would itch when his hands got warm, and when his older brother slept next to him at night, the blankets were warm, so he would scratch his hands incessantly.

Thinking back to that time, Chen Weimin, whose son was already quite grown up, wanted to cry. However, it would be too embarrassing for him to cry; he was already so old, and his older brother would laugh at him.

He was suppressing his emotions when his second brother's words left him feeling conflicted and upset. He felt sorry for his eldest brother.

"Second brother, you are so heartless! If you hate your older brother so much, why did you use his money, eat his food, and accept the job he found for you through his connections?"

"You think life was tough back then? Then why didn't you just die? Big brother is right. Why didn't Mom take you with her? What are you doing alive? Are you just here to disgust others?"

Seeing that even the third brother dared to curse him, Chen Weijun pointed at the other man's nose and said, "Third brother, what right do you have to curse me? You're just a spineless coward who lives off a woman. If it weren't for your good luck in getting your wife to fall for you, you'd be worse off than me. And you're lecturing me? I think the one who should be expelled from our family is you. What's the difference between you and someone who's a live-in son-in-law of the Xu family?"

"If you end up like me, you'd probably hate your older brother even more than I do. Who do you think you are? All these years of eating fish and eggs have made you forget how hard it was to swallow wild vegetables back then! I think you're the one who deserves to die the most. Let's see if Mom and Dad will even recognize you after you're gone, you spineless coward who's obsessed with women."

Chen Xiangnan was still feeling guilty when he saw his third aunt today and kept avoiding her. Fortunately, she started fighting with his second aunt as soon as she entered the house, and in the end, they were all locked in the back room, so he didn't see his third aunt much.

Now, spurred on by Wang Dahai, all he wants to do is make a living off women. But what kind of filthy nonsense is his second uncle spouting? That men who make a living off women should die?

This made him unhappy. His second uncle had never figured it out in his whole life: as long as a person is comfortable, it doesn't matter whose food they eat, they are all capable people.

Just like how Uncle San lived a good life through his own abilities, while Uncle Er had no abilities and yet looked down on everyone and complained about everyone else, he would never live a decent life.

For the first time in this irrational state of mind, Chen Xiangnan spoke a fair word: "Second Uncle, what you said is really harsh. I don't know if Third Uncle eats Third Aunt's food, but someone like you probably wouldn't even be able to eat it if he wanted to. Not only can't you eat women's food, but you haven't even become a decent person eating at your workplace after all these years."

"Besides, the way you're saying this makes it sound like you're jealous that my third uncle can get a woman's meal." Chen Xiangnan looked Chen Weijun up and down. "Second Uncle, let alone someone with your looks who can't get a woman's meal, someone with your personality definitely can't get a woman's meal either. If someone like you goes to marry into a family, you'll get beaten up."

Chen Weijun slapped him across the face. "Brother and sister-in-law, is this how you raise your son? Is this how he talks to his elders?"

Old Mrs. Xia slapped Chen Ligang across the face. "Chen Weijun, is this how you raise your son? Your elders are arguing, and your son is just laughing on the sidelines. Isn't he just as much of a beast as you?"

Chen Weijun was heartbroken. He was the kind of person who loved his sons the most. He and Fang Rong could be verbally abused, but his sons absolutely could not be harmed in any way. In the past, when his sons were in school, if a classmate insulted them, he would take the children to their home to demand an explanation.

If he doesn't apologize to his son in person, he'll throw a tantrum at their doorstep. He doesn't care about saving face or being in the right; all he cares about is that his son has been bullied.

The end result was that, apart from their own relatives, no one wanted to play with the Chen brothers, Chen Ligang and Chen Liqiang. Even now that they're older, while other kids their age have many friends, they don't have a single one.

Like Chen Xiangbei, that silly kid, although he's not good at studying, he's still very popular. Even though he's broken off ties with those friends who wanted to take advantage of him, he still has other friends he can play with.

Unlike the two of them, even if they bring food to people to play, no one will pay attention to them. They are harmed by Chen Weijun's excessive protection.

"Sister-in-law, who are you calling an animal?"

Grandma Xia: "Whoever calls me an animal, I'll call them an animal. Even a dog wags its tail when you give it a bite to eat. You take advantage of me and get all cocky, huh?"

"What, you want to fight me again?"

Chen Weijun's eyes turned red. "You're the beasts! You're all beasts! You look down on me, you look down on my son, huh? Fine!"

He looked around, then suddenly picked up a stick from inside the house. "Let's die together today."

Chen Mei shoved Chen Liqiang toward him and shouted, "Second brother, if you kill or injure someone, your two sons will be the sons of a murderer and a convict! Put him down right now!"

Chen Weijun didn't stop and smashed his hand hard on his youngest son's head.

The person immediately collapsed to the ground.
