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

Mrs. Yu was stunned, her mouth agape, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say. At that moment, she felt that even someone as intelligent as herself couldn't understand this family's thoughts.

They don't want a grandson, they don't want such good in-laws, and they don't value their son like ordinary families do. They're different from other families. She and Lao Yu care about the value of a child, but these two old people don't care about anything.

It's as if it doesn't matter whether their children are successful or not, whether they are filial or not, whether they are family or not. They lack the respect and humility that a normal, harmonious family should have, and they also lack the scheming and calculating that a disharmonious family should have.

The whole family had a kind of calm madness about them. Although it was calm, it was not to be underestimated, otherwise they might go crazy. This made Yu's mother dare not make any rash moves.

She and Lao Yu have always been very sensitive to other people's desires, so they can take advantage of other people's weaknesses. However, apart from Chen Xianghong wanting to marry their son, no one else in the family is interested in what she, Lao Yu, and their son have behind them.

Yu's mother couldn't understand it, and Yu's father couldn't understand it even more.

Everyone has desires. Even the least ambitious person should know to reach out and grab a pie when it falls from the sky, or at least make the effort to reach out. Yet, with such vast resources laid out before the entire Chen family, they remained unmoved.

As far as he knew, the Chen family's second son was unemployed, so could they ask them to give him a job? Their youngest son was about to graduate, so could they also ask them to give him a future? The father was getting on in years; didn't he want a promotion? Didn't these men have even the slightest bit of ambition?

Fools, a whole family of idiots.

They could easily marry into any ordinary family, and they would be treated like walking golden goose, with everyone doting on them.

But Chen Xianghong's father said his wife was an ignorant woman who would give his daughter-in-law folk remedies. Chen Xianghong's mother said his wife had the airs of a capitalist's daughter and should be reformed. His second son didn't say anything, but the way he stood there expressionless showed he was not to be trifled with. And his third son, that stupid thing who was obviously clueless, was shouting some vulgar nonsense.

Mr. Yu was so angry that his head was spinning. "Does your Xiang Hong even want to come into my family?"

As Chen Xianghong nodded, Old Lady Xia refused, saying, "She doesn't want to."

Chen Xianghong shouted, "Mom!"

Old Mrs. Xia gritted her teeth and said, "Shut up first, or I'll beat you to death if you say another word."

Chen Xianghong shut her mouth, feeling wronged.

"My Xiang Hong will not enter your house. If they are truly in love and insist on getting married, then you can let your son enter my house," Old Mrs. Xia said firmly.

"Are you crazy? Are you insane or do you want to die? You actually want my son to marry into the family? What kind of dream are you having in broad daylight?" Mother Yu rushed over, wanting to slap Old Lady Xia across the face, to stop this old woman from a small town from spouting nonsense again.

Grandma Xia grabbed the hand of the person who was about to hit her with one hand, then flung him behind her and said to Yu Hongzhen, "Xiao Yu, do you agree or not? If you don't agree, then just take your things and leave. My Xiang Hong will not go to Haishi again."

Yu Hongzhen hesitated. Although he had planned to be transferred here, the transfer order had not been issued yet, and he did not intend to become a live-in son-in-law; he was just going to live here.

He was conflicted. It was a shameful thing for a man to become a live-in son-in-law. Although he had told his parents this before, it was just to spite them. If he were to actually do it, he wouldn't think it through.
