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

Old Chen has been talked about behind his back by many people today. They say that after his ex-wife left him, his business has flourished and he's now about to become a leader in the factory.

Upon hearing this, he glared at the person, causing them to secretly say that he was petty, no wonder he was abandoned by the excellent Comrade Xia.

There was a time when they said the same thing: that Old Lady Xia was incredibly foolish to reject such an outstanding man as Chen Weiguo.

The voting results came out on the spot, and Grandma Xia undoubtedly won by an overwhelming number of votes.

When the results came out, Grandma Xia sat on the ground, stunned. Although she felt that she had a good chance of winning, when the job actually fell into her lap, she still felt a bit surreal, as if she were in a dream.

Director Yuan pulled her along to give a thank-you speech, and she was dragged out of the auditorium in a daze. Along the way, many people congratulated her, including many men.

She appeared at the door, looking completely distracted.

"It's all over, it's all over. Mom definitely won't be selected looking like this." Chen Xiangbei said, pulling Chen Xianghong along and pointing at Old Lady Xia in the factory.

Chen Xianghong was alarmed. Why did her mother look so lifeless? Was not being selected such a big blow to her?

Grandma Xia was brought back to her senses by Chen Xiangbei's call. Seeing that their faces were red from the sun, she walked over and asked in confusion, "What are you two doing here? How long have you been waiting?"

Chen Xianghong held Xia's hand firmly, "Mom, it's okay. Even if you don't get elected, you'll still be the best women's director and the most outstanding comrade in our hearts."

Director Yuan appeared behind Old Lady Xia with a smile, "Old Lady Xia is not only the best women's director in your hearts, but also the rightful women's director in our textile factory."

Chen Xianghong was confused for a moment. "What do you mean? Didn't you not get selected?"

Director Yuan: "You got elected. With a mother as capable as yours, how could you not get elected?"

Chen Xiangbei screamed from the side and jumped up, "Ah, it's true! Hahaha, my mom really became the director! Hahaha!"

It was lunch break time, and Director Yuan immediately suggested that we go out for a meal to celebrate, saying, "Old Xia, it's your treat."

Grandma Xia nodded.

The four of them arrived at the state-run restaurant with great joy. Chen Xiangbei ordered the dishes and began to praise Grandma Xia in a flurry of chatter.

Halfway through the meal, Grandma Xia suddenly looked up and exclaimed, "I really became one!"

Director Yuan and the other two looked up in bewilderment. "Yes, you've been appointed."

Grandma Xia suddenly burst into laughter, serving the three of them food as she laughed. "Eat, eat quickly! Tonight, let's invite your aunt over, your Aunt Yin over, and Comrade Zheng and her daughter from next door, and all the others from our compound over. Let's have another meal here, hahaha, eat, eat quickly!"

With Grandma Xia's enthusiastic serving of food, the three of them ate until they were stuffed. It's hard to imagine if they ate another meal there that night and they would die from overeating.

Grandma Xia was full of energy. While everyone was rubbing their stomachs, she announced, "This afternoon, I'm going to get all the information on the women in our factory. Then I'll see who dares to bully them right under my nose!"

Director Yuan led the applause.

Soon, with a radiant smile, Grandma Xia finished her first day off as the women's director. She wanted to continue working at her desk, but remembering that her older sister was waiting for her to report the good news, she quickly packed up and left work.

She wanted to tell her sister that she had made something of herself, that she had made something of herself at this age when she was almost retired!

Grandma Xia rushed home, taking three steps at a time. Jiang Wenhua saw her and wanted to say hello, but she was gone in a flash like a gust of wind.

"Sister, sister!" Old Mrs. Xia shouted as soon as she stepped into the courtyard.

Xia Yu'e rushed out and replied, "I'm here, I'm here."

Grandma Xia immediately hugged her sister, "Sister, I did it! I was chosen! I was really chosen!"

Xia Yu'e patted her back: "I knew you could do it. You've worked so hard, and people who work this hard will never be let down."

Grandma Xia's voice choked with emotion: "They all approve of me, they all approve of what I've done during this time, they all chose me, they all saw my efforts, even at my age, they still chose me, they all congratulated me, they all..."

She was somewhat incoherent, but the emotion and joy of being recognized were fully conveyed in her words. She could tell her sister things she was too embarrassed to say to others without reservation. Her sister was the person who had supported her the most since she was a child.

Grandma Xia could express the excitement she couldn't show in front of others, but she could do so with her sister. She could also share or bear the emotions that she couldn't express herself because her sister was by her side.

Xia Yu'e pulled the person in, closed the door, and listened while empathizing with her sister.

By the time the others arrived at their house, Old Mrs. Xia had already composed herself.

Grandma Yin arrived the fastest. She was overjoyed after receiving Chen Xiangbei's message and kept asking him many questions. Chen Xiangbei told her the same thing three times, but she still couldn't get enough.

The Chen Xiangnan family and the Chen Xiangdong family also arrived with their children, and Yu Hongzhen, the future son-in-law, was not left out either.

The other people in the compound heard about it on the way and came to congratulate them after they entered the compound.

Jiang Wenhua returned with Fang Yingdi and Qiao Yi. Qiao Shan was the last to arrive, and he was notified last. He ran over with Chen Xiangbei.

One table wasn't enough, so they split it into two. But Grandma Xia didn't mind; it was a rare happy occasion, so what if there were two tables?

However, after Director Yuan's reminder and other people's persuasion, they ultimately decided not to eat out, as that would be too high-profile and might lead to bad rumors. Instead, everyone brought their own food and had a lively meal in the courtyard, with everyone helping out with chores.

Everyone enjoyed the meal. Grandma Xia even drank some wine that someone had brought, and she fell asleep in a daze, her dreams filled with smiles.

The next day was a day off. Grandma Xia was woken up by her sister. While she was still half asleep, she was informed that Chen Xianghong's future in-laws had arrived early the night before and said they would have dinner together that evening.

Old Mrs. Xia felt extremely annoyed when she thought about the way Yu's parents had acted before.

After the happy event came the trouble. She sighed, "Did they say they were going to eat with Chen Weiguo?"

Xia Yu'e: "They should be with them at noon and with us in the evening. Xiang Hong said that Xiao Yu has made all the arrangements."

When Grandma Xia thought about what happened a while ago when the Chen family divided the money, even the third son didn't want to go home anymore. Lately, he was either staying here or going to his second sister-in-law's house.

The two in-laws of the Tang family even arranged a small room for that kid to stay in. The third brother kept showering him with flattery, sending him a share of any good things he got from outside, and taking the rest to the Tang family.

Those two from the Tang family are truly honest people.
