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

In the Chen family, Old Chen is experiencing a home-demolition experience like never before. Yang Su simply won't listen to him. Even though he said he would find them jobs, Yang Su still won't listen. All she talks about is her money and her son's job.

After seeing that his bedroom belongings had been mostly thrown away, Old Chen noticed that Yang Su was about to smash the window with a stool, which was absolutely unacceptable.

You can make a scene at home, but wouldn't it be a laughing stock if outsiders saw it?

Although they had just been arguing loudly, and people outside probably heard it, Old Chen still didn't want everyone to see that he and Yang Su had argued just a few days after getting their marriage certificate.

He had said in front of everyone that his new wife was a very gentle and virtuous woman.

A gentle and virtuous woman would never smash things. Old Chen was afraid of losing face, and also afraid that Yang Su, this madwoman, would go outside and smash things, which would cause great losses. So he coaxed her repeatedly: "Yang Su, Su Su, don't smash things. I promise I can definitely find a job for Wang Ming. I will definitely not let him go to the countryside."

Yang Su: "Why should I believe you? You're full of cunning and lying. Why should I believe you? Anyway, if my second son goes to the countryside, I'll take you all down with me."

Old Chen: "You want to die together with your sons, so that each of them has a murderer as their mother?"

Yang Su roared, "I don't care about that anymore!"

Old Chen noticed she was a little out of breath. "Why don't you sit down and rest? Listen to what I have to say?"

Yang Su: "Why should I listen to you?"

Old Chen: "It's just a little money. As long as you don't cause trouble, I'll give you the money first, okay? You're my wife, so you can use my money."

Yang Su calmed down, rolled her eyes, and said, "How much money do you have?"

Old Chen squatted down, pulled out a brick from the corner of the wall, and took out a small box from it. Inside were all his money and tickets. "Look," he said, "all my belongings are here."

Yang Su took the box, her heart burning with excitement: "So much money! What kind of money is tied up with this stack of red strings?"

Old Chen smiled and said, "This money can't be touched. It's for Xiang Bei's wedding and Xiang Hong's wedding banquet. I've set aside some for them. You can spend the rest of your money. Buy whatever you want."

Yang Su's voice softened, "Brother Chen, isn't it a bit much for you to give me all the money like this? If Xiang Nan and Xiang Bei find out, they'll make a scene again."

Seeing that Yang Su had regained her senses and returned to her original state, Old Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "When have I ever asked them to decide my money? Besides, I can just not tell them. As for Wang Ming's job, I will keep it in mind."

Yang Su racked her brains. She wanted Old Chen to spend all the money on herself and her son, including the stack of money and tickets tied with red string, but she would have to take it slowly.

"Brother Chen, it's almost time for work. I'll go make you some food first. I'll tidy up the bedroom later. I'll wash all the clothes. I was just... so upset. I was really afraid you were lying to me." Yang Su tried to make amends for her behavior.

Old Chen took the box. "I didn't take it to heart. A husband and wife should be tolerant of each other."

Yang Su: "Brother Chen, you're so kind."

After Yang Su left, Old Chen squatted down and hid the box in a different place.

On the other side, Chen Xiangbei intercepted his second brother, who was on his way to work. Since it was still early, Chen Xiangnan had no choice but to invite him to have breakfast at the hospital cafeteria. "What brings you here?"

Chen Xiangbei hesitated and said, "Second Brother, I think we've targeted the wrong person."

Chen Xiangnan took a bite of the vegetarian bun. "Hmm? What does that mean?"

Chen Xiangbei: "The worst person in our room situation is Dad. Actually, that old woman Yang Su is just like that. What mother doesn't side with her own child? So it's normal for her to covet our room. The most important thing is that Dad didn't stop her at all. He's just a useless old woman."

Chen Xiangnan remained expressionless: "So?"

Chen Xiangbei: "Second brother, why are you so calm? Aren't you angry when you hear this?"

Chen Xiangnan: "Isn't this obvious? You figured this out after thinking about it all night?"

Chen Xiangbei's eyes widened: "You already knew why you still swindled that old woman's money. Although she wasn't good to us, we weren't good to her either. That four hundred yuan isn't a small amount. It's not right to swindle her like this, is it? Why don't we return it to you? The money is still with you, right?"

Chen Xiangnan: "Why should I return it? The money is in our pockets, there's no reason to return it. I know that old woman better than you do. You think it's wrong for us to cheat her out of money, but wasn't it wrong for her to cheat our dad out of money when she got married? Wasn't it wrong for her to trick Dad into leaving Xianghong with nowhere to live at home? Wasn't it wrong for her to trick Dad into abandoning us children?"

Chen Xiangbei: "But... let's put this aside, aren't you also planning to sabotage his son's job?"

Chen Xiangnan was speechless. "Get this straight, who was I scamming people out of their jobs and money for? Now you want to be a good person? Why did you get on my pirate ship in the first place? You pity her now, but why don't you pity me? I went through so much trouble to get information out of Wang De."

"If it weren't for me, you, Xiang Hong, and I would have all been bullied to death by that mother and her children that day. This money can be considered compensation, or it can be not. Do you think that old woman didn't take Dad's money and resources? Maybe in a few days, the money Mom left us, the money you saved for your wedding, will all be gone."

Chen Xiangbei: "Impossible, Dad can't be that confused. Besides, she hasn't even started to do anything bad to us yet. Wouldn't it be bad if we tricked her first?"

Chen Xiangnan: "When you stole things from others before, did they cheat you first? Have you lost your mind? How can you tell me this?"

Chen Xiangbei: "Anyway, I don't think Dad would do that. Besides, I've reformed now. I don't steal. I make more money by helping people find out things."

Chen Xiangnan rolled his eyes: "Don't talk to me about your messy business. If Dad wasn't senile, do you think that old man would have gotten into our house? I advise you to put away your foolish kindness. If you don't get a single thing from the house, let's see if you still think it's unreasonable for us to ask for this money."

Chen Xiangbei stared blankly into thought for a while, then suddenly started stuffing himself with steamed buns as if he were in a hurry to be reincarnated, and stopped talking to Chen Xiangnan.

As a result, he choked.

Chen Xiangnan handed over his water bottle with a look of disdain. "Can't you eat a little slower? Do you think I'm going to steal your buns? I even bought these buns for you. Who are you trying to protect yourself from?"

Chen Xiangbei took several sips before finally swallowing the steamed bun. "Second brother, I'm going to steal Dad's money."
