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

When Chen Xiangnan arrived home, everyone except his third uncle and aunt's family was there, including his second uncle's family, who had originally intended to sever ties with him.

His father was still smoking, and he was smoking even more heavily, his face dark and menacing.

Aunt Chen Mei scolded his mother while feeling sorry for the family's poor state during the New Year.

As for my second uncle's family, let's not talk about them. They came with the intention of watching the show, and he didn't seem anxious at all. Occasionally, he would even make a few sarcastic remarks.

Chen Mei: "How could my sister-in-law be so heartless? She just left you with a mess and ran away? She even wants a divorce. Xiang Bei isn't married yet, and neither is Xiang Hong. Is she really planning to just let go and not care about anything?"

Chen Weijun: "I told you long ago that she was no good. She came from the countryside. If she hadn't climbed up to the big brother, she wouldn't be living such a good life now. She's been living a good life for too long, and she had to cause trouble. It's just a pity for our Xiangbei."

Fang Rong also said to Chen Xiangbei, "Xiangbei, your mother doesn't want you anymore. What will you do in the future? You need to be sensible."

Chen Xiangbei hated listening to his second uncle and aunt talk. Their words sounded like they were sympathizing with him, but his second aunt's lips were turned up, and her tone was strange, like she was mocking him. Chen Xiangbei couldn't help but retort, "Second uncle and aunt, I don't need you to worry about me. My dad can raise my second uncle so well, so how could I, his own son, be any better? You should pity yourselves instead."

Chen Weijun cursed, "How can you talk like that? We came here to help you out of kindness, and the first thing you say is this. No wonder your mother beat you so badly that you ended up in the hospital on the first day of the Lunar New Year. It's all because of your foul mouth."

Fang Rong chimed in, "Didn't they say Xiang Bei drove my sister-in-law crazy? If you ask me, the divorce between my brother and sister-in-law is all Xiang Bei's fault. If he had just said a few nice words and let my sister-in-law have a peaceful New Year, this wouldn't have happened."

Chen Xiangbei opened his mouth. In the end, he was the one who started this whole thing, and he couldn't refute it. But these words were really harsh and vicious. He was unhappy about being blamed for everything.

But after he fainted, he had no idea what had happened. He only heard his mother say that when she was arguing with his father today, she said that it wasn't just because of him, but also because of many other reasons.

If his mother doesn't want any of her children, then we can deduce that she's not just disappointed in him, but in all of them. So everyone shares the blame.

He thought for a while before he figured it out. Just as he was about to retort, he heard them start talking about other things. Now was not a good time to interrupt. Chen Xiangbei cursed himself for being stupid. It took him so long to figure things out. He almost choked on his words.

Chen Mei spoke up in Chen Xiangbei's defense, "Second brother and sister-in-law, stop making trouble. Instead of wasting your time, why not help eldest brother's family clean up? They're already feeling bad enough; don't add fuel to the fire. We're brothers, after all; there's no need to kick them when they're down."

Fang Rong was not willing to clean up for them. It was so dirty, cleaning it up would exhaust her. "The most important thing now is not cleaning, but how to win back my sister-in-law's heart."

Chen Mei: "Big brother, you should try to coax your sister-in-law more, and Xiang Nan, Xiang Bei, and Xiang Hong, you should also say some nice things to her. Your mother looks fierce, but she is actually the softest-hearted one. She must have been very angry this morning and her heart is a little cold. If you show her some goodwill, she will definitely not want to part with you."

Old Chen tapped the table with his pipe, "What are you trying to coax? What are you going to do? If she wants a divorce, then let her. I want to see what kind of good life she can live after divorcing me. I really don't believe that I can't find someone else after the divorce."

Chen Weijun immediately agreed, "That's right, brother. With your excellent qualities, plenty of women would be willing to marry you. Your wife has such a bad temper; she hits people without warning. Look at how badly she hurt you. Wouldn't it be better to divorce her and marry someone with a gentler temper?"

Tang Jiao felt very upset when she heard this. "Second Uncle, why are you still hoping for my in-laws to get divorced? What good will that do you?"

Chen Xiangnan: "Yeah, Second Uncle, is it because my mom almost killed you back then that you're holding a grudge?"

Chen Weijun suddenly remembered the chase he had taken, and realized that his older brother and his entire family of scoundrels were right there. He immediately shut his mouth, knowing that if he were framed again, no one would listen to him no matter what he said.

Chen Xiangnan continued, "Dad, what did Mom say this morning?"

Chen Xianghong immediately repeated what Grandma Xia had said that morning, and Chen Xiangnan seemed to be thinking about it.

Chen Xiangbei eagerly hoped that his second brother could come up with a solution quickly. "Second brother, do you have any ideas? I will definitely cooperate."

Chen Xiangnan: "I'm just wondering who told Mom that I went to the hospital to see my third aunt. My third aunt said she wouldn't tell anyone, so who could it be?"

Chen Xiangbei: "Second brother, is this kind of thing really that important at a time like this?"

Chen Xiangnan: "It's alright, I'll go find my mom first and see what her attitude is."

Old Chen watched as his second son turned and left, staring at him for a while without saying a word, wondering what he was thinking.

Tang Jiao followed them out and arrived at Grandma Yin's house. Their door was open, and Grandma Yin and Grandma Xia were chatting and laughing as they prepared their New Year's meal. It looked much warmer than their own house.

Upon seeing the newcomers, Old Mrs. Xia's face immediately fell. "What are you doing here?"

After wishing Grandma Yin and Yin Sheng a Happy New Year, Chen Xiangnan and Tang Jiao came in.

"Mom, we've come to take you home." Chen Xiangnan walked over and tried to stop Grandma Xia.

But Old Mrs. Xia was agile and, fearing that her son would grab her and pull her home, she immediately jumped away, saying, "I made it very clear to your father this morning that we will get a divorce after the New Year."

Chen Xiangnan said helplessly, "Mom, we're family. Can't we sit down and talk things out? Tell me what you're unhappy with about us, and we'll definitely change. Even criminals can reform eventually. Why won't you even give us a chance to change?"

Tang Jiao also pleaded, "Mom, you've been so good to me since I married into this family, and I've always treated you like my own mother. It's only been a few months, and you're already abandoning us? If you don't want to talk to them, talk to us first. Tell me what you don't like about me, and I'll definitely change."

Grandma Xia said with a blank face, "I don't like that you're blind enough to fall for my second son, you're so stupid."

Tang Jiao: ...She's really hard to change.
