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

Yu's mother was momentarily stunned. She said one sentence to her son, but the old woman started rambling on like a machine gun.

She's just a technician's wife, a worker in a small factory. What gives her the right to talk to her like that? What gives her the confidence to talk like that?

With the Yu family's excellent conditions, shouldn't someone like her be fawning over her? At the very least, they should be saying a few flattering words. Even if two ordinary families are formally meeting to discuss their children's marriage, they should be polite and respectful. This old lady is truly from a humble background, just like Chen Xianghong, with no manners whatsoever.

As the old saying goes, dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and rats beget rats that know how to dig holes.

In Yu's mother's eyes, Chen Xianghong and her family were not worthy of her son at all.

She glanced sideways at Old Mrs. Xia and said, "Who's putting on airs here? Old Yu and I traveled all the way from Shanghai to your remote little place, and we came to visit you first thing this morning without delaying for a moment. But you two are taking your time eating. I say one thing, and you can retort with ten."

"I can see that you don't really want to get married. You probably know that someone like your daughter isn't good enough to enter our family, so you've just given up, right?"

Grandma Xia took a sip of porridge and glanced disdainfully at Yu's mother. "I won't judge whether he's good enough or not. But if your son can take a liking to my daughter, then he's the same kind of person as my daughter. If you can argue with me here, then you're not much more noble than me. Stop pretending to be generous and proper. You're just a common woman at heart."

Yu's mother glared at her fiercely. Who would want to be like her? Who was the petty woman from the streets? "What are you saying about me? You're the petty woman from the streets. You're the one pretending. Your whole family is probably trying to leech off my son and our family. Now you're acting all nonchalant. You must be laughing in your sleep."

Yu Hongzhen chimed in with dissatisfaction, "Mom, Uncle Chen and Aunt Xia aren't like that, and neither is their whole family."

Yu's mother: "What do you mean they aren't like that? I think they are exactly like that. I haven't even said much yet, and she's already got a whole bunch of things to say, and she's even looking down on our family. What right do they have to look down on us? What right do they have to look down on us?"

After finishing her meal, Grandma Xia stood up.

The moment she stood up, Chen Xiangnan immediately stood up as well. He was afraid his mother would start a fight, but he wasn't afraid of her starting a fight; he was afraid his mother would hurt this woman who didn't seem like she could fight.

Although... although her future brother-in-law's father is also present, the other party is a man from the military, so he definitely won't fight with his mother; he'll fight with the men present.

Although there are many men in their family, none of them have been trained. In the end, he might fight three against one, and I'll be the one who suffers.

We have to stop them, we absolutely must stop them.

Chen Xiangbei stood up along with his second brother. He immediately began to admire his second brother. This uncle from the Yu family had a dark face from the moment he entered the door and looked like he was not to be trifled with, but his second brother stood up without hesitation to support their mother. He truly was a man among men.

At the same time, he felt that his biological father was a useless man, and his mother was still drinking porridge even after being scolded. He was not even as good as his second brother and could not be considered a man.

So, as the second man in the family, he must stand with his mother against the common enemy and never yield to the forces of darkness. He has guts.

He glared at Yu's father, looking as if he were ready to die a heroic death.

Grandma Xia was very calm. After all, she had just experienced a thrilling event yesterday, so these small difficulties today were nothing to her. "First of all, let me explain. It's only eight o'clock now. You told us that you would come later in the morning. It's normal for us to have breakfast at this time on our day off."

"Secondly, I didn't look down on you. On the contrary, as soon as you came in, I asked you if you wanted to eat something together. Then you made a sarcastic remark that your family doesn't eat this kind of breakfast. You said that yourself. Weren't you thinking that this kind of breakfast wasn't good enough for your foul mouth?"

"Finally, the bastard things you and the person next to you have done are really despicable. Even tigers don't eat their cubs. You treat your two children as commodities to be traded. You let your daughter fend for herself since she's useless, but you force your son, who is useful, to date your daughter who is powerful and influential. How is this any different from pimping?"

Mr. Yu flew into a rage: "How did you know about these things in our family? Did your daughter tell you? I've always felt that even disregarding her background, your daughter is incapable of handling important responsibilities. How could she be a good girl, gossiping about her elders behind their backs?"

Seeing that his father and second brother moved their mouths but didn't say anything, Chen Xiangbei was furious. He was an old man with one foot in the grave, yet he still had such a sharp tongue. He dared to say that his sister, who was both elegant and capable in the kitchen, was nothing.

“Old man, you’re no better than us. You’re a military leader, and I bet you’d be good at solving wrongful convictions. Why don’t you ask if your son told us this?”

Yu's father pointed at the little boy with beady eyes who hadn't even grown any hair yet and yelled, "Just because I'm not good doesn't mean you are! Do you have any manners? Is this how your parents raised you? Don't I know my own son? He's not the kind of person who would talk nonsense to others."

Yu Hongzhen chimed in, "Dad, actually, it was me who said it. If you and Mom talked about Xiang Hong like that at home, then Uncle and Aunt would definitely find out, so I just told them everything. Anyway, it's all your fault."

Yu's father, his hand trembling, slapped him across the face. He and his wife were still trying to glorify themselves, while their son had already told everyone about their family's messy affairs. It would have been better to have killed him when he was a child.

Yu Hongzhen covered his face and chuckled. Yu Qingqing, who was standing next to him, seemed more like a normal person than him.

Anyway, as long as it embarrasses his father, he's happy even if he gets beaten up.

Chen Xiangbei chimed in sarcastically, craning his neck, "Don't you have any manners? Don't I know my own son? He's not one to talk nonsense, he wouldn't say anything like that."

Mr. Yu's face turned bright red. He hadn't heard such sarcastic remarks to their faces in a long time, and it had been a long time since anyone had spoken so rudely to him and his wife.

Even if... even if they know about his family's affairs, his status is what it is. What right do they have to look down on him? They are just a group of ordinary citizens. Why shouldn't they be afraid of him?
