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

Grandma Xia hadn't received Chen Xianghong's letter yet, so she naturally didn't know Chen Xianghong's conflicted thoughts. If she knew, she would definitely wholeheartedly support her breaking up with that person.

Now, what's troubling Grandma Xia is that her way out has been blocked.

The other party came on strong, and although there was only one person, he was radiating... anger.

Grandma Xia didn't recognize this person at all; he didn't look familiar at all.

"Excuse me, who are you...?"

Mr. Tang was really angry. He had found a perfect man for his daughter, Jiaojiao, who was good in every way except for being honest and a little clumsy with words. He had observed the young man for over two years and finally decided that he was indeed a good person before introducing him to his daughter.

His daughter, Tang Jiao, didn't want to go at first, but she was blinded by that married man outside and bewitched by his sweet words, and she resisted him at home for a long time. But some time ago, she had clearly given up, and he even told that young man that he would introduce his Jiao Jiao to him when he returned from training.

A few days ago, when he brought up the matter, Tang Jiao reacted strongly, vehemently refusing and stating that she did not want them to interfere in her dating life.

This infuriated Tang's father. After pressing her for an explanation without getting any response, he secretly followed Tang Jiao and discovered that she had gotten involved with this man again.

What's so great about this man? In Tang's father's eyes, he has no stable job, has lost one wife, and has a child. Although his family is not poor, they don't covet other people's money.

His daughter is a pure and innocent girl, how could she spend every day with a widower and unemployed man?

Tang's father secretly went to see Chen Xiangnan behind Tang Jiao's back, but that brat actually said that love knows no social class, their love is free, and no one can stop them from liking each other.

Screw love, screw freedom! Tang's father nearly fainted from anger. But he was also bad with words, and by the time he figured out how to curse, the other person was already far away, still holding a bottle of trendy soda that the other person had forced on him.

Screw that soda! It's practically inedible.

Tang's father, having failed to achieve his goal, returned home in a fit of rage and berated Tang Jiao, causing her to cry. She then ignored him for several days, which made him feel distressed again.

His daughter was determined to be in love with this divorced unemployed man, who was as cunning as an eel. Ever since she last looked for him, she had been unable to catch him again.

It's really strange. He clearly lives near this compound, but every time I stake out the place, I can't catch him. It's absolutely infuriating.

Seeing his daughter sinking deeper and deeper into this situation, Mr. Tang had no choice but to seek help from Old Mrs. Xia. He first went to Old Chen, but although the old man agreed verbally, several days had passed and Chen Xiangnan showed no sign of changing his ways. He was still going on to seduce his daughter as before. That old man was despicable!

"I am Tang Jiao's father." Suppressing his anger, Tang's father introduced himself in a relatively calm manner.

Grandma Xia genuinely didn't know who Tang Jiao was; this person had never even appeared in her life in her previous life. Therefore, her first reaction upon hearing this introduction was...

"You've mistaken me for someone else. I don't know any Tang Jiao."

Grandma Xia walked around him and was about to leave. She was in a hurry because it was time to get off work. Today, the supply and marketing cooperative had some rabbit meat, which was not commonly available. She wanted to buy some to try. Eating braised rabbit meat in winter would definitely be delicious.

Mr. Tang was stunned. How could this person be like this? He left without even asking any questions. He was just as bad as that unemployed vagrant. The whole family was bad.

He chased after her and then blocked her way again. "It's okay if you don't know Tang Jiao, but Chen Xiangnan is your son, isn't he?"

The second son got into trouble. That was Xia Laotai's first instinct. She definitely couldn't admit it. Otherwise, she would feel wronged to be beaten by the victim's family in such a place. If she fought back, it would really be the second son's fault. In fact, she would have injured the family member, which would be a double blow.

Since it's the younger child's problem, let him handle it himself; she doesn't want to get involved. He's a grown man now, not a baby anymore. Should his parents be responsible for his mistakes?

Arrest him if he should be arrested, beat him if he should be beaten. As the mother of the second child, she will absolutely not plead for him. Just don't put the blame on her.

"No, I don't know any Chen Xiangnan or Chen Xiangbei."

The answer surprised Tang's father. Had he really contacted the wrong person?

That's impossible. His investigation is absolutely correct. He's been watching their house for days and has only seen this old lady going in and out of their house.

Trying to fool him? No wonder the son he raised is no good either.

Tang's father became even angrier.

"Aren't you Xia Yue'e?"

Grandma Xia: "No, I don't know any of these people you're talking about. Can you move aside? You're blocking my way. I'm very busy."

She pushed people aside and walked forward quickly, but bumped into a colleague when she turned a corner.

"Sister Yue'e, what are you still doing here?"

Grandma Xia looked up abruptly and saw the man who had been blocking her way walking over quickly; he had spotted her.

Damn it, Old Lady Xia was annoyed. She didn't want to buy or eat the rabbit meat anymore. She said goodbye to that person and started running away.

Tang's father didn't know why she ran away. He knew she was Xia Yue'e and Chen Xiangnan's mother. Even if she ran away, wouldn't he still find her?

Running is pointless.

"Stop running. You can run away today, but can you run away every day?"

Grandma Xia gasped for breath, "Then why did you chase after me? What did Chen Xiangnan do to offend you? Go and settle the score with him yourself. I'm just an ordinary old lady. My family doesn't listen to me. Go and ask around. I'm just a little old lady with no opinions of my own."

Mr. Tang: "Stop for a moment, let's talk calmly for a few minutes, then I'll leave."

Grandma Xia ran even faster.

Tang's father failed to catch up, and he was puzzled as to how an old woman's legs could make a trail.

Despite being covered in sweat on such a cold day, the cold wind made him feel chilly.

"Let's come back tomorrow, otherwise it will be bad if I get a fever," Tang's father thought to himself, and decided not to go to their house. He turned around and headed towards his own home.

Jiaojiao, Dad has gone to great lengths for you. I hope you will be more obedient in the future and not hold a grudge against Dad.

Tang's father has been unable to sleep well for several nights because of this matter. In his dreams, Tang Jiao is sometimes bullied by that unemployed vagrant, and sometimes she is deceived. He has not had a single peaceful night's sleep.
