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

Old Chen hesitated. His own children's words made sense, but he also trusted Yang Su. Su Su wouldn't lie to him.

Faced with Chen Xiangnan and the others' gazes, Old Chen looked away guiltily, not daring to meet their eyes. But this matter still needed to be resolved, so he said, "How about we go and ask your former in-laws tomorrow? If they say they gave it to you, then things will be clear. I'll beat them to death then."

Yang Su lowered her head, feeling flustered. How could those old geezers possibly help her? But if it was their own grandson, they should be able to help, right? She would have her second son go back and give them a message tonight, and everything would be settled by tomorrow.

Having made up her mind, Yang Su looked up and said, "That's right. We'll ask my in-laws tomorrow and they'll know. Let's not argue today. Brother Chen, please don't always hit the child. Just patiently teach him when he makes a mistake."

Old Chen's heart softened. Seeing Yang Su like this, the scales in his heart tipped in her favor. He had finally met a gentle person, completely different from Old Lady Xia. She would never shout for violence. "Children won't amount to anything if they aren't disciplined. My children are far inferior to your two sons."

Yang Su: "Brother Chen, please don't say that."

Chen Xiangbei made a vomiting gesture, which was noticed by Old Chen. He angrily said, "Third brother, look at the state you've become! Don't always learn bad things instead of good ones."

Chen Xiangbei: "Okay~ Brother Chen~~"

Yang Su's face stiffened. This brat actually copied her?

Old Chen picked up his stick again, ready to hit someone, but Chen Xiangbei darted behind Yu Hongzhen again. "Dad, don't learn bad things instead of good ones. My brother-in-law isn't even married yet. You can't hit him, can you?"

Yu Hongzhen inexplicably puffed out his chest, which made Old Chen even angrier. However, Chen Xiangbei was right; he couldn't very well beat his son-in-law now, and even if they got married in the future, he still couldn't. He wasn't Xia Yue'e, who could beat anyone he wanted.

"Give me the money. You're holding onto it so tightly even though it's not yours." Old Chen didn't want to argue with Chen Xiangbei any longer, but he was very uneasy about having the money in Chen Xiangbei's hands.

Old Chen thought this kid was the biggest thief in their family. Didn't he steal his clothes before?

This kind of person actually has the nerve to call Yang Su a thief. He has no shame at all. I'll wait and see how he teaches these kids a lesson tomorrow.

Old Chen had already accepted that his children were lying, and began to plan how to teach them a lesson in a more effective way.

Chen Xiangbei took a step back. "I'm not giving it to you. This is my and my sister's money. Why should I give it to you?"

Old Chen: "You still won't admit it? Do you have to wait until tomorrow when you're exposed before you apologize?"

Chen Xiangnan: "Dad, what are you saying? You're starting to believe her now?"

Chen Xianghong was also heartbroken. "Dad, don't you know who we are?"

Old Chen shouted, "I know all too well what kind of person Lao San is! You've been corrupted by your brother too, you two..."

Chen Xianghong was on the verge of tears: "No matter how much of a scoundrel Xiangbei is, he wouldn't steal other people's money, and I would never frame someone."

Chen Xiangnan: ...To be honest, if he hadn't started this, he would have believed Chen Xianghong's words. She looked so honest, and she used to be very honest too. Now she was crying and sobbing. Who wouldn't think she was being wronged?

As a matter of course, Chen Xiangnan's voice also rose: "Dad, you've really gone too far. It's one thing for you to scold the third son, but Xianghong has never done anything out of line. How can you wrong her like this?"

Seeing Chen Xianghong like this, Old Chen felt a little sad. She really looked like someone he had kicked her out of the house, leaving her homeless, but that wasn't what he meant.

"Xiang Hong, Dad wasn't talking about you."

Chen Xianghong pointed to her original room: "Dad isn't talking about me, but he's planning to kick me out without saying a word, right? I'm not even married yet and you've already taken Xiangbei's room and made Xiangbei live in mine. Don't you want me to come back in the future? I won't have a family home anymore, will I?"

Old Chen waved his hands repeatedly: "No, I..."

Chen Xianghong: "Then I won't have a room to stay when I come back. Where will I stay? Will I sleep with Xiangbei, or will someone give up their room for me?"

Old Chen was heartbroken. There was only so much space in the house, and there was nothing he could do. So he started to persuade Chen Xianghong, "Xianghong, there's only so much space in the house. Your Aunt Su has three sons, and the eldest is getting old. He can't live with his brothers in the future. Anyway, you're married to Xiao Yu now, so you can live a good life in the army. Let them have the room in the house, okay? Dad has no other choice."

Seeing that Chen Xianghong was somewhat soft-hearted, Chen Xiangnan immediately said, "Dad, it's true that it's hard for us children to manage your second marriage, but didn't you think about how to settle them before you got married? Before you married Aunt Su, were they sleeping on the streets?"

They clearly have their own homes, so why did they have to bring them all back? Their own houses are empty, but we, your own children, have nowhere to live. Do you think that sounds good to others?

Chen Xianghong: "Second Brother."

Chen Xiangnan: "Xiang Hong, there probably won't be a place for you at home today. You should ask Battalion Commander Yu to take you home first, as it will be very late and the roads will be difficult to navigate later."

Chen Xianghong is truly a useless piece of trash. Her father can soften her heart with just one sentence. If she stays any longer, things will probably go wrong. It's better to get rid of her first.

Chen Xianghong had no choice but to leave, looking back every few steps.

Chen Xiangnan remained inside. "Dad, what are you going to do if Aunt Su's in-laws say they never gave this money tomorrow?"

Old Chen was stunned for a moment, "What should we do? Then you can take the money."

Chen Xiangnan: "We were framed by you. It's fine as long as we return the money. It was our money to begin with."

Old Chen: "So what are you going to do?"

Chen Xiangnan: "Call the police, classify it as a major theft, and arrest and imprison Wang Ming."

Wang Ming's face immediately turned pale. "No, this money, I..."

Yang Su interrupted him, "Okay, let's do it this way. Anyway, we're not guilty. You're the ones who should be."

Chen Xiangnan shrugged. "Alright, Xiangbei, you take the first half of the night and I'll take the second half. Neither of us will be allowed to go out in the middle of the night."

Yang Su was startled. How could this brat have guessed her thoughts so quickly? Was he some kind of monster? "Xiang Nan, what do you mean by this? Do you think we're going to run away?"

Chen Xiangnan: "It's better to be cautious."
