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

In the bedroom, Yang Su didn't care what Old Chen might do; all she knew was that if she didn't vent her anger soon, she would be driven to her death.

She'd been pretending for months, and all that old man had done was get a job—a bad one at that. In the end, his money was stolen, and her son lost his job too.

She was just doubting Chen Xiangbei, that little bastard, but then she realized her son was absolutely certain he hadn't stolen the money, so she tried to shift the blame onto her. Those two little bastards already stole over four hundred yuan from her, and now they want to suspect her too.

She had been itching to beat up the whole family the last time, but she held back for her son's sake. Now that Old Chen was determined to drag her into this, she decided to stop pretending.

Stop pretending!

The two fought fiercely, while on the other side, only Wang De did not participate in the beating. Although his mother and two younger brothers were being beaten, he was the only one who stood by and watched.

He didn't even try to stop the fight, just watched his two younger brothers get beaten. He didn't even bother to look at their mother inside the house to see what was wrong.

Judging from the past, his mother would probably win big. His mother fights like a madwoman; she doesn't care about her own life, nor does she care about the lives of others.

So when the sound of shattering glass came from Old Chen's bedroom, Chen Xiangnan and the two children from the Wang family rushed over without even thinking about fighting.

In the bedroom, Old Chen's head was bleeding profusely. The window was shattered, and bloodstains ran from the broken part down to Old Chen's head.

"Dad!" Chen Xiangnan rushed in and checked Old Chen's breathing. It was very weak; he wasn't dead.

"Third brother, go borrow a tricycle."

Chen Xiangbei ran out quickly, and with the help of several neighbors, took the unconscious and blood-covered Old Chen to the hospital.

Yang Su didn't think she had done anything wrong. Isn't fighting all about being ruthless? If she hadn't been ruthless, she would have been the one who got hurt.

She had no idea that the Chen family would report such incidents to the police, rather than resolving them within the family.

So, at the second brother's behest, Chen Xiangdong ran straight to the police station. Chen Xiangbei and Zhu Wenying followed him, while Chen Xiangnan stayed at home, fearing that Yang Su and the others would escape.

Yang Su felt extremely relieved; she had finally beaten that old man, and she felt a great sense of satisfaction.

Upon seeing Chen Xiangnan, she simply moved a stool and sat down at the gate, with many neighbors from the compound standing behind her. Yang Su's hands were still stained with blood, and she glared maliciously at Chen Xiangnan.

"You all already knew who I am, so why are you still so surprised?" Yang Su calmly got up and wiped the blood from her hands onto her clothes.

Chen Xiangnan squinted at her, "I'm not surprised, I just wanted to see you more. I don't know if I'll have the chance to see you again in the future."

Yang Su: "Maybe I'll outlive you."

Chen Xiangnan: That's good. I'll work hard and try to get out as soon as possible to start anew. I don't know if you'll still have that chance.

While Yang Su was still pondering what he meant, she saw a police officer's uniform flash past the window. Then, the neighbor behind Chen Xiangnan made way for him, and Chen Xiangnan stood up, moved his stool aside, and pointed at Yang Su, saying, "Police officer, she almost beat my dad to death. There's blood on her hands and clothes."

Yang Su was handcuffed and taken away. She shouted that she didn't want to cooperate, but she was quickly subdued. She cursed and looked flustered. How could anyone really dare to report it to the police?

“They stole the money, arrest them too. I didn’t steal any money. My husband and I were just having a fight. You can’t arrest me.”

"Let me go, I did nothing wrong, I'm fine."

“It’s all those little bastards’ fault. They conspired to cheat me out of my money and then framed me. Their whole family framed me.”

"They are the ones who should be arrested, not me."

Yang Su's voice grew softer and softer. Chen Xiangdong watched as Chen Xiangnan left with the police, leaving him, Zhu Wenying, a mess of belongings, and the blood left by his father's injury at home.

After a moment of confusion, he closed the door ajar. He didn't have the key and couldn't lock it, so he could only ask his former neighbor to watch the house for him before rushing to the hospital.

The neighbors in the compound were still marveling at what Old Chen and Yang Su were up to. This was truly the best lesson in how losing a fight can lead to hospitalization and winning can lead to jail time.

In the hospital, Old Chen was still unconscious, and Zhu Wenying took care of him. She really had no choice; Chen Xiangbei was completely incapable of taking care of people. He had just wiped Old Chen's face and wet the bandages. The nurses scolded them and changed the bandages, carefully instructing them not to get the area wet.

There were only her and Chen Xiangbei in the entire ward. No one had notified her that her second son's wife was pregnant, so she had to go. After all, he was her father-in-law.

So, when Chen Xiangbei tried to continue wiping Old Chen's face, Zhu Wenying snatched the towel away, saying, "Get out of the way."

Chen Xiangbei had no choice but to step aside and watch carefully as Zhu Wenying gently wiped the blood from his father's face. "Sister-in-law, thank you."

Zhu Wenying seemed to have heard some nonsense, "You actually thanked me?"

Chen Xiangbei: "I'm not mute, but luckily you're here, otherwise I would have messed up again."

Zhu Wenying sighed, "I wonder how things are at home. That Yang Su is a real scoundrel. I don't know how you'll manage in the future."

Chen Xiangbei: "We'll just have to live one day at a time and see what Dad says when he wakes up. If he says he still wants to live with that old woman, I'll never help him again."

When Chen Xiangdong arrived, he saw his wife sitting beside him, glancing at the IV drip every now and then, looking exhausted. Chen Xiangbei stared blankly at his father, lost in thought.

After Chen Xiangdong told him about his family situation, Chen Xiangbei couldn't sit still when he heard that his second brother had left with the police and that Yang Su had been taken away in handcuffs. He immediately wanted to go to the police station, just in case... he wasn't as malicious as he thought. He was very afraid that his second brother would implicate him, saying that he stole money because he hadn't shared the money with everyone.

Chen Xiangdong watched as his third son ran away like a gust of wind, and looked at his confused father lying unconscious on the bed. In the end, it was their family who had to shoulder everything.

Zhu Wenying was bored sitting there. "Xiangdong, I'm going back to check on Baoyuan. I'm not entirely comfortable leaving him with someone else. You look after Dad for now. I'll bring you food later. This whole mess... I just wanted to ask Xianghong about her marriage and Dad's new wife. We hadn't even exchanged a few words before one of us had his head smashed open, the other is about to go to jail, and the money is still missing."

"Is that Yang Su a jinx to our family? Since she came into the house, she's caused so much trouble!"

Chen Xiangdong nodded, telling her to hurry back, as Baoyuan was still young and would definitely cry if she didn't see either of her parents.

Well, it's mainly because his dad is muddle-headed, otherwise the family wouldn't be in such turmoil. I don't know what he's thinking by getting married at his age.
