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

"Third brother, if your wife really doesn't like our family, she doesn't have to come. Why say such things on such a joyous occasion? Isn't this making everyone unhappy?" Old Chen didn't want to directly scold Xu Meiyu. Now that Old Madam Xia was no longer around, he, as the eldest brother, couldn't directly criticize his third sister-in-law.

As for Yang Su, who was standing next to him, she had even less of a say. She was an old woman who had just secretly registered her marriage with Old Chen, and she got involved when Old Chen was arguing with his relatives. Wasn't she just asking for trouble?

Therefore, no matter how much Old Chen tried to signal to Yang Su, Yang Su pretended to be blind and couldn't see it.

They were a couple who married later in life, and it was one thing for her to say a few words in his defense when she had the upper hand, but now it was clearly not her time to speak up, and Yang Su had no interest in fighting for this old man.

Chen Weimin tugged at Xu Meiyu's sleeve, but she shook him off. "Chen Weimin, don't pull me. I know what I'm doing, but your good brother's head is still muddled. You can't pretend to be a brother to everyone without considering the circumstances."

Old Chen: "Xu Meiyu, I'm already being lenient by not directly scolding you. Is it because I've been too good to your family before that you think I'm a person without a temper, and you've been bullying our family all along?"

Let me tell you, don't push your luck. Who do you think you are? Did you think you were easy to hit during that fight at Xinhe's wedding?

Xu Meiyu gritted her teeth and said, "You still have the nerve to talk to me like that? If you hadn't tacitly approved of it, who would have bothered to bully your family? What did you say when you sent Sister Xia to my house? You said she was good at housework and that I could treat her like family. You even said she liked to work and felt restless if she didn't, right?"

Taking advantage of others' kindness while you hide behind and reap all the benefits—don't you feel guilty doing that? You've done it more than once, haven't you? Before, Sister Xia shielded you from all the criticism, and you enjoyed people praising your good temper. Now, another one has arrived—not so stupid, but definitely not smart either.

Yang Su pointed at herself in confusion, "You mean me?"

Xu Meiyu: "Otherwise what? You think that by marrying him, you can get some money from him and use his connections to find a job for your son? You're making a killing, aren't you?"

Yang Su remained silent. That was exactly what she thought. At this time, work was the most important and sought-after thing. As long as Old Chen could arrange jobs for all her sons, and contribute money and effort to their marriages in the future, then she wouldn't be at a loss.

Seeing her expression, Xu Meiyu guessed what she was thinking and said disdainfully, "If you had become the Chen family's stepmother when the children were still young, they would have been at your mercy. But now that they're grown up, whatever you take from the eldest brother, they will take back from you in other ways later."

It's perfectly reasonable for them to want their things back, and everyone can see what your older brother has done for your children. The problem is that in the end, you might get nothing and even bear the brunt of the criticism. Meanwhile, the person next to you gains a good reputation, and his resources have never left the family.

Of course, there are advantages too, namely that he's become estranged from the children, and will also become estranged from you. Thinking about it this way, it seems like everyone is a loser. I really don't know what you're all thinking.

Yang Su didn't take it seriously. How could something given to their family be taken away again? As for reputation, it was useless to her. Her reputation had been ruined since childhood. Only people like Xu Meiyu cared about reputation.

Old Chen was either struck by Xu Meiyu's words or upset by her talk of estrangement from the child, and was about to start another tirade when Chen Weijun burst in, shouting and yelling.

"Big brother, what do you mean? What did your sister-in-law just say? You got this woman's little bastard a job?" Chen Weijun couldn't believe his ears and stared at his brother, demanding an explanation.

Old Chen said in a deep voice, "As an elder, can't you watch your words? I shouldn't have let you come."

Chen Weijun pointed at Yang Su and said, "I just called him a little bastard and you're talking to me like that. I didn't say anything wrong. Brother, do you know that my Ligang was blocked at the door every day by the rural affairs office? I begged and pleaded with everyone to get him a job. In the end, I emptied my savings to get him a temporary job."

But you, with this stepson you've barely even met, and you've already bought him a job—using your own salary and connections to do so! Your Chen Xiangnan never even received this kind of treatment before, and you're giving it to some shameless little bastard?

Tell me now, is this little bastard your child from when you cheated on my ex-sister-in-law with this woman? Are these little bastards your offspring? If you say they are, I can understand a little bit more. Tell me.”

Chen Weijun hadn't even exchanged a single pleasantry with anyone when he entered the room; he looked like he was about to go crazy.

Was the job his older brother gave that little bastard? It was his life.

Old Chen slapped Chen Weijun on the back of the head. "You're questioning me now? You're using such vicious words to question me. Do you know how much trouble it will cause me if someone with ulterior motives hears this? I'll be arrested and interrogated. Do you want to get me killed?"

Chen Weijun wouldn't listen to Old Chen's nonsense at all. "Do you know how much trouble you've caused me? I wish I could kill those little bastards right now."

"You think I'm more wicked than you? You'd rather my Liqiang be sent to the countryside than give us a job to tide us over, but you can easily get this little bastard a job. My Liqiang is someone you've watched grow up; he calls you 'Uncle.' And this little bastard, you've only known him for a few days!"

Fang Rong also felt as if her heart was being ripped out of her chest. "Brother, even if you hate Wei Jun and me because of what happened last time, the child is innocent. He is your own nephew. How can you just stand by and watch him die?"

Xu Meiyu immediately shut her mouth. She was extremely angry with Old Chen, feeling that the old man had no shame and that anyone who heard about what he did would spit on her.

However, after seeing Chen Weijun and his wife, she didn't know what to say for a moment. The two of them were even more shameless than Old Chen.

Xu Meiyu was also a little traumatized, afraid that the previous scene would repeat itself, afraid that after the two of them found out that Old Chen didn't care about them at all, they would cling to her leg again, just like last time, insisting that she find a job for their son.

She decided to lower her profile for now; she really didn't want to argue with these two incredibly stupid people. It would be beneath her dignity, and besides, they wouldn't listen to her, making communication impossible.
