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

Chen Xiangnan raised an eyebrow. "Oh, your mouth is faster than your brain, and your hands are even faster than your mouth. Aunt Su was really agile when she was robbing the money, even more so than when she fought with my dad. That's where Aunt Su's concern is shown. You didn't use your full strength back then, did you? If you had, my dad would probably be sleeping in his grave right now instead of standing in the living room. Sure enough, you still care about my dad."

Old Chen was embarrassed when this matter was brought up. He, a grown man, couldn't even beat Yang Su, a woman, and was even mocked by his own son. Although the second son was mocking Yang Su, it inadvertently hurt his fragile self-esteem.

"Second brother, the money has been divided, no more talking, from now on the whole family should live a good life together."

Chen Xiangnan: "Okay, Tang Jiao and I will stay here tonight. Aunt Su, please cook something nice. By the way, is your closet still locked? If my Jiao Jiao wants to eat something in the middle of the night, should I have to make a racket to wake you up?"

Chen Xiangbei felt annoyed when he thought about it. "I've been telling them to lock the door for so long, but they still haven't changed it. How are we supposed to live a normal life like this? They treat us like thieves."

Old Chen was very unhappy to see the two about to start another argument. He felt that Yang Su had already moved past the topic of dividing the money, so why were the second and third brothers still not satisfied and had to start a fight? When he got angry, Old Chen's head became like a decoration. "Third brother, think before you speak. Aren't you a thief?"

Chen Xiangbei stared at his father in disbelief. He never expected that his father would go so far as to reveal his theft for Yang Su's sake. When he confessed to Old Chen, his father had said that once the money was divided, the matter would be over and no one should mention it again.

He had argued with Old Chen at that time, and when he heard this, he felt a little guilty, thinking that his father hadn't treated him too badly.

To his utter surprise, at a time like this, his father would use this incident to slander him and tell him to shut up.

As expected, Yang Su shouted in a shrill voice upon hearing this: "Chen Xiangbei, it really is you! Your dad told me before that you like to steal things, and I thought you were just a petty thief who stole things that weren't worth much. I never expected that you were the most ruthless one, actually stealing all of your dad's money."

"Did you force your dad to share the money today? Did you threaten him by saying you'd pocket the money if he didn't? I thought you kids were all good, but it turns out you've all been corrupted by your mother—not a single one of you is any good! It's a shame your dad still nags about you at home all the time; I really feel sorry for him."

Chen Xiangbei's mouth was open, but he couldn't say a word.

Every word Yang Su said was true, even his guesses were true. He really did threaten his father that he would keep all the money for himself before his father would agree to let them share it. But... but... he only stole the money because he felt uneasy about keeping it with his father; he didn't really intend to keep it all for himself.

If he wanted to keep it all for himself, he would have kept quiet and hidden the money away from everyone. Why would he expose himself?

If he really harbored ill intentions towards his father, he could have bypassed his father and distributed the money among his brothers, and none of this would have happened.

He felt that the money belonged to his father before his father divided it among them, and that it was only right and proper for his father to divide it. He was just temporarily holding onto it for them.

Chen Xiangbei always felt that if he hadn't stolen the money, it would most likely have been used to buy Wang Ming a job by now.

His father would definitely think that since they were all family, it wouldn't hurt to borrow money for a while. But as time went on, Yang Su stopped paying it back, and his father's money would be lured away by Yang Su, leaving them with nothing in the end.

He just wanted to secure some benefits for his own brothers that were rightfully theirs.

Before Chen Xiangdong could figure it out, Zhu Wenying had already rushed out and rammed into Yang Su, like an enraged bull, straddling Yang Su fiercely. Before Yang Su could react, she brutally slapped him several times.

"Serves you right for being so foul-mouthed. Whether we're good or bad isn't for you to judge. Your own son is such a good-for-nothing, and you, as his mother, have to sell yourself to pave their future. And you still have the nerve to talk about us? What kind of person are you?"

Yang Su quickly got into a fight with Zhu Wenying. Unlike the old lady Xia who would be easily beaten, Yang Su had been a fighter since childhood and was much better at fighting than Zhu Wenying, who was only a half-baked fighter. She quickly pinned Zhu Wenying to the ground and beat her mercilessly.

"I'm a smart aleck, do you dare say Chen Xiangbei didn't steal the money, that he's not a thief? Now you're playing the good sister-in-law, but where were you all when you were fighting over the money?"

Although Chen Xiangdong was slow-witted, he was protective of his wife and immediately went to help.

Old Chen and the Wang family's children started helping Yang Su, and Chen Xiangnan and Chen Xiangbei naturally helped their own people as well.

And so another chaotic battle began.

Old Chen continued hitting and cursing: "What did your Aunt Su say wrong? None of you are good people. The third brother is dishonest. You brothers and sisters-in-law are all disgraceful. You all inherited Xia Yue'e's ways."

Chen Xiangdong: "Yang Su and her few burdens are the best in your eyes, so why did we have to take you there after she smashed your head? Have they even come to see you? You treat them like treasures, but they treat you like a sucker."

Zhu Wenying: "Yang Su, you old hag, why didn't you die sooner after living to such an old age? Your sons have not only made no contribution to society, but they have also made a mess of other people's homes. You should not be alive."

Chen Xiangnan: "Dad, do you even act like a father? The third son didn't commit murder or arson. Why do you hate him so much and say such things about him in front of Yang Su? If you really don't want this son anymore, you might as well cut ties with him sooner. Do you think he really wants you, an old man, as his father?"

Chen Xiangbei's eye was bruised from a punch by Yang Su, and then he was kicked out of the melee by Chen Xiangnan. He stood next to Tang Jiao with a pout, looking like he was about to cry.

Tang Jiao has become quite familiar with Chen Xiangbei recently, since this younger brother-in-law often visits her parents' home to freeload, and he never comes empty-handed. Although sometimes what he brings is questionable, he is still very concerned about her and the baby in her belly.

Seeing him like this, Tang Jiao was also angry with her father-in-law. "Dad, no matter what, you shouldn't talk about your own child like that in front of outsiders. Xiang Bei has almost corrected his previous shortcomings and is now working hard to improve. His motives for stealing money this time weren't bad. Why are you spreading rumors about him everywhere?"

Old Chen felt humiliated after being criticized by his daughter-in-law, and he cursed her, saying, "I should say you're a jinx! Ever since you married into our family, we haven't had a single day of peace!"

Tang Jiao was so angry that her stomach hurt. She clutched her stomach, but she still had the mind to care about Chen Xiangbei, telling him to come back to her parents' house with her later to apply medicine.

Chen Xiangnan punched the old man in the mouth. That old man's mouth really should be sewn up!
