Old Chen's mouth is always the most venomous in the family. Sometimes he says things even harsher than Old Lady Xia. No one knows what he's thinking. He can make someone so angry that they want to fight just by opening his mouth.

Chen Xiangnan and the other younger generation looked at Old Chen with more admiration than shock. Chen Xiangnan felt that the family's sharp tongue must be hereditary. He initially thought it was inherited from Old Lady Xia, but then he remembered how his father could drive people to the point of losing their temper whenever he opened his mouth to curse. Perhaps he inherited more from his father.

At this moment, Yu Hongzhen actually felt a sense of agreement. He thought his parents were indeed feudal and materialistic, yet they tried to pretend to be innocent and noble. He had originally thought that Old Mrs. Xia was the one who mostly supported the family, handling both external and internal affairs, but now, looking at Uncle Chen, he realized that he was also extremely capable.

Tang Jiao's eyes were now filled with admiration. She had just admired Grandma Xia, and now she admired the two of them. If... if their family had someone as eloquent as them, they wouldn't have suffered so much before. Her parents and brothers were all tongue-tied. Her father had been verbally abused by patients at the hospital and didn't know how to respond, ultimately paying out of pocket and suffering in silence.

And her mother, she was scolded at the supply and marketing cooperative and didn't know how to talk back, she only cried when she got home.

She had previously been lent money by other colleagues at the hospital who didn't repay it. When she pressed them for repayment, they gave her a cold shoulder, so she stopped pressing them for it and they still haven't paid it back. Later, when they asked her for more money, she felt embarrassed to refuse because she didn't know how to say it.

If... if she could learn even a tenth of their skills here, Tang Jiao would be invincible in the hospital.

The people at the hospital were completely speechless and dumbfounded when they encountered the two of them; she wouldn't be afraid of them anymore.

Tang Jiao's eyes were brighter than anyone else's; she wished she could stand up and applaud them.

Chen Xiangnan was worried that his newlywed wife would be frightened by this scene, and was about to comfort her, but seeing her like this, he suddenly felt that Tang Jiao should be in their family and should marry him. She could remain calm and even show a hint of happiness in such scenes yesterday and today. She should be a member of their family. She was in a better state than Chen Xianghong, her sister.

Chen Xianghong's expression wasn't too good. Although she knew her father was helping her, she was more afraid that her mother wouldn't approve of her being with Brother Yu. Since Brother Yu's parents weren't exactly good people, to avoid trouble, her mother might strongly object, making it even harder to persuade her mother to agree.

She had feelings for Yu Hongzhen, and she knew that Yu Hongzhen had a bad relationship with his family. His parents were not normal people. Compared to Yu Qingqing, Chen Xianghong felt that his parents were the ones with mental illness.

Yu Hongzhen and Yu Qingqing are completely different from their parents. They are both kind, know how to distinguish right from wrong, and don't care about saving face like their parents do. She knows that Yu Hongzhen's greatest wish is to have a warm family. He has told her more than once that he feels his own home is very cozy.

Although Chen Xianghong didn't quite understand, because every time Yu Hongzhen met with his parents, their house was always noisy, he felt that if the atmosphere was good, then it meant their family was completely rotten.

Chen Xiangbei promptly expressed his surprise: "What kind of folk remedy? There's such a folk remedy?"

Old Chen looked him up and down and said, "Some uneducated country folk believe that if a woman can't have a son, she can be forced to drink a boy's urine. People like you are chasing after you asking for your urine."

Chen Xiangbei gagged, then hugged himself tightly, heartbroken at the thought of that scene, and shouted at Yu's mother, "I won't let you have your way, you pervert!"

Tang Jiao finally found a moment to interject. She stood up and explained to everyone, "Actually, it's possible that the woman can't have children because the man can't, and the reason why a woman only has daughters and not sons is also due to the man's problem."

Chen Xiangbei immediately shouted, "Did you hear that? Even if you have to drink urine, give it to your son. Don't you dare insult my sister!"

Yu Hongzhen, expressionless: So why did you bring up this drinking urine?

Yu's mother was really going to lose it. How could a dignified mother-in-law with knowledge and culture do such a thing? This was definitely their family trying to smear her. It was vicious, so vicious.

“Who are you calling a jerk? You’re the uneducated country bumpkin! Our Haishi is a perfectly good place; there’s no way there would be such a person. Old Yu and I are respectable people; we would never do such a thing!” Yu’s mother shouted even louder than Chen Xiangbei.

Chen Xiangbei picked at his ear: "Keep your voice down. At that volume, who would believe you're not just angry and embarrassed?"

Just as Yu's mother was about to scold Chen Xiangbei, she asked, "If my Xianghong doesn't have children for many years after marriage, won't you urge her to have any?"

Yu's mother wanted to say that she wouldn't urge them to turn the tables, but then she thought that if Chen Xianghong had some kind of illness, and that the old woman had set a trap for her, if she said that today, and then urged them again, their family would come and make trouble, and then it would be even more uncontrollable. She didn't believe that the old woman wouldn't urge them herself. In this day and age, which mother-in-law doesn't want a grandson?

So she replied confidently, "You should at least have one child. You can't get married and not have any children. That's not right. I don't believe you won't urge your daughter-in-law if you don't have any grandchildren."

Grandma Xia immediately grabbed Tang Jiao's hand and said, "Good daughter-in-law, Mom promises you, no matter if you and the second son have children or not, how many children you have, or whether they are boys or girls, Mom won't care. I'll write you a guarantee later to ensure that no one in our family will pressure you, okay?"

Tang Jiao was deeply moved. How could she have met such a good mother-in-law? Although she didn't know if she was sincere or just saying it because the Yu family was there, she, as a member of the Chen family, absolutely couldn't let her down at this time. "Mom, no need to write it down. What mother-in-law here would urge someone to have children? That would make her a wicked mother-in-law."

Grandma Xia gave Tang Jiao a thumbs up in her heart; this child was indeed clever.

After hearing this, Yu's mother felt that her worldview was about to be shattered. What kind of place was this? How could they not even care about whether or not they had a child?

"Impossible, you're kidding me, right?"

Grandma Xia said slowly, "You can go and ask around about our family. My eldest daughter-in-law is the only one who gave me a grandson, and my second son's first wife gave birth to a daughter."

Just as Yu's mother was about to retort, she heard Old Lady Xia continue, "The eldest son's family separated and moved out. He went to live with his wife's family and became a live-in son-in-law. My grandson also took their surname, so I don't have a grandson now, only a granddaughter. Of course, if my granddaughter doesn't want to stay in this family in the future and doesn't want to acknowledge me anymore, I don't care."

Yu's mother looked at Yu Hongzhen and asked, she really couldn't believe that someone would give up their only grandson.

Yu Hongzhen nodded. "It's true."
