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

After the children left, Grandma Xia sat in the living room, feeling powerless and helpless. "Sister, why do I still feel unhappy even though I'm divorced from Chen Weiguo? I still feel lost when it comes to their family. I really don't know what to do in the future, or how to get along with them."

Grandma Xia cooked two dishes and brought out two bowls of rice. She handed the chopsticks to her and felt a pang of pain in her heart when she saw how tired she looked.

"Yue'e, actually, you don't have to think too much. Just do what you want to do, and you don't have to worry about how to get along with the children. You can just be the same as before."

Even though you left that place, you are still their mother no matter what. The children you raised from a young age will inevitably think of them no matter how much they are hurt. Besides, apart from being a little selfish, they have never done anything that disregards human life.

"Kids, you can teach them well for a long time, or you can beat them if you don't. Beating them until they're afraid of you whenever they want to do something bad is a good method. You're not me; your kids wouldn't dare lay a hand on you now."

Xia Yu'e's reckless and arrogant words made Old Lady Xia feel a surge of respect for her sister.

It has to be her sister. She's been persecuted by men for so many years and still maintains this kind of thinking. How can that not be considered amazing?

"Sister, do you want to hit your son?" Old Mrs. Xia was genuinely curious and wanted to hear her sister's thoughts on her son.

When Tian Chengping is mentioned, Xia Yu'e grits her teeth and says, "How could I not want to? I dream about it all the time. If I could beat him up in this life, I would feel that I have no regrets."

Hearing this, Grandma Xia suddenly perked up, "Sister, after I rest, I'll go and get your leg checked. If it can be cured, we'll try; if not, we can at least alleviate the symptoms. I'll think of a way. We'll find a chance to beat your son up in our later years."

Her sister rarely has a dream, and as a younger sister who has received such great kindness from her sister, how could she not help her realize it? Even if it meant going bankrupt, she would make this wish come true for her.

As Xia Yu'e looked at her sister, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she radiated a vitality that had long since disappeared at her age, making her full of life.

Xia Yu'e originally wanted to say not to bother with the trouble and money, since this was her life, but if this matter could give her sister some hope, then she would do it.

It didn't matter whether her leg was okay or not. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Xia became even more agitated, indicating that her sister really wanted to give her son a beating.

If her older sister has this ambition, then she, being younger, should have even more ambition. In the future, if Old Lady Xia doesn't like someone, she can scold them, beat them if she can, and run away if she can't beat them. So what if her reputation is bad? She hasn't done anything bad yet, but she's just divorced and a bunch of people are still gossiping about her. So why not let her solidify her reputation?

From now on, let's see who dares to mess with her.

For no apparent reason, Grandma Xia became confident. She ate her meal with great pride and went out to buy some good things for her sister and herself at the supply and marketing cooperative. She needed to eat well before the battle.

But she forgot that the supply and marketing cooperative had already closed by then.

Old Mrs. Xia, wrapped in a cotton-padded coat, walked to the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative in a fit of rage, only to be turned away. She then turned back, cursing and swearing.

As luck would have it, Old Lady Xia was passing by a river when she saw an elderly couple arguing. With her love of gossip, how could she possibly ignore it?

She stood by the rock not far away, watching without attracting attention, yet still able to hear their argument. However, it was too dark; it was a cloudy day, so it got dark very quickly, and Old Lady Xia couldn't see their faces clearly.

It was early spring evening, and there weren't many people by the river, because few would be foolish enough to brave the cold wind to come to the river, except for Old Lady Xia and the old couple arguing by the river.

Woman: "You have such a stupid brain. You wanted your son-in-law to treat your daughter better, so you introduced him to a job. Now look what you've done, it's even more convenient for your son-in-law and our daughter to be cheated on."

The woman said, "At least other rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows, but he's the opposite; he's the one who eats the grass near his burrow."

Woman: "How could I have married such a good-for-nothing? Are you getting more and more senile as you get older? How could you come up with such a stupid idea?"

Man: "He doesn't have a proper job and just hangs around outside all day. Who knows if he'll cheat even more? It's better to keep him under my watchful eye."

Woman: "Right under your nose, you're practically blind. They're practically in a relationship, and you're just standing there clapping and cheering."

Man: "I'm not that stupid. I've just been busy lately and haven't had time for him."

The woman said, "Even if you're not busy, if you actually run into them, you won't be able to utter a sound even if you hit them three times."

Man: "Then you should think of a way. You're really something, you can get a fart out of me with three blows."

Grandma Xia covered her mouth, wanting to laugh. These two were really funny.

The woman continued, "You have no idea how badly our Jiaojiao cried today. If I wasn't afraid she'd hear us arguing and start crying again, do you think I would have let you bring me all this way just to have a fight with you?"

The man paused for a moment, then said, "What should we do about this?"

When Grandma Xia heard the name "Jiaojiao," she felt something was wrong. Considering the content of their argument, she suddenly moved a few steps furtively toward the two of them, wanting to confirm whether they were really the two she had guessed.

As soon as he took a few steps, Tang's mother saw him clearly and exclaimed, "Ah—a ghost! There's a ghost!"

With his back to Old Lady Xia, Tang's father didn't see the ghost, but was startled by Tang's mother's scream.

Tang's mother was so frightened that she screamed and tried to run away in a panic, but she tripped Tang's father and they both fell to the ground. Tang's mother's palms were bleeding.

Grandma Xia had already recognized them; they were her damned second son's father-in-law and mother-in-law.

She rushed over to help the person up, and as she ran, Tang's mother shouted even louder.

"Stop shouting, stop shouting, mother-in-law, it's me, it's me, Xia Yue'e." Old Mrs. Xia quickly shouted that she was a human, not a ghost, and it took several times before Tang's mother listened.

This is truly a case of the son making Tang Jiao cry, and the mother making her in-laws cry.

After calming herself down, Tang's mother, ignoring her injuries, saw that Grandma Xia was there. She then remembered that Chen Xiangnan had occasionally mentioned where his mother lived, and she couldn't help but feel even more resentful towards Tang's father.

They're more trouble than they're worth. Of all the directions and places available, they had to choose one near where Old Lady Xia rented a place, and coincidentally, someone saw it.

Tang's mother didn't know what to say about the two of them, mother and son; she felt utterly helpless.

"Xiang Nan's mother, sigh!" Tang's mother sighed.
