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

Grandma Xia, along with Qiao Yi's family who came to help, and several neighbors including Jiang Wenhua, stared wide-eyed.

They had long heard that some widely circulated and talked-about things often happened in the courtyard where Grandma Xia lived, especially when important events were being held. This time, they finally heard about it.

"And then, and then?" Xu Meiyu said halfway through, just as she got to the part about Wang De selling his job, everyone looked at Chen Xiangbei, and Qiao Yi's eyes widened, urging her to continue.

Chen Xiangbei scratched his head and hurriedly explained, "This really has nothing to do with me. Wang De said he doesn't know anyone, and since I'm in this business of selling information, he asked me to help him find out who the buyers are. I don't know anything else."

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly remembered something and turned to stare directly at Chen Xiangnan, who had just arrived from behind.

He didn't say anything, but Chen Xiangnan's lips curled up when he saw it.

Jiang Wenhua whispered behind Old Lady Xia, "Old Xia, none of your sons are stupid."

Seeing that everyone had suddenly fallen silent, Chen Xiangdong asked in confusion, "Wang De is a strange person. We've had such a falling out with Yang Su and the others, yet he still asks Lao San for help? He could ask anyone else, so why did he choose Lao San?"

Chen Xiangbei said sarcastically, "Perhaps you listened to someone's slander, and after listening for a while, you felt that person was untrustworthy, and that I was more trustworthy than you?"

Chen Xiangdong: "Third brother, what nonsense are you spouting? Say something that everyone can understand."

Jiang Wenhua added from behind Old Lady Xia, "Uh...it's not like there aren't any stupid ones."

Chen Xiangbei didn't want to pay attention to him. He felt it was a bit boring to stay here and listen to his third aunt talk about what was going on over there, so he said, "I'll go find my brother-in-law first and tell him to come pick up my sister tomorrow. It's better to go sooner rather than later, so I can go and come back sooner."

He dashed away in a flash.

The remaining people then began to stare at Xu Meiyu, urging her to continue speaking.

Qiao Yi's parents also came to lend a hand. They were sitting in chairs with the tall Qiao Shan standing next to them. "I've never seen anything so lively in my life..."

Under everyone's eager gaze, Xu Meiyu continued, "And then Yang Su went mad..."

By the time the story was finished, it was completely dark.

The group was still enjoying themselves, and when they realized it was getting late, they spontaneously began to help Grandma Xia make arrangements for her relatives.

Zheng Qianlan and her daughter warmly invited Xu Meiyu and the women of the Qiao family to stay at their home. Xu Meiyu's two sons, Qiao Shan, and Qiao's father were arranged to stay at Jiang Wenhua's home.

As for Fang Yingdi, her factory is just across the river, so it will be very convenient for her to come over early tomorrow morning.

Chen Xiangnan and his wife rode their bicycles to Tang Jiaoniang's house, and Chen Xiangdong also returned home under the cover of night. Their home was not far from Grandma Xia's place, but it was farther from the Chen family's home.

Old Chen's attempt to mediate escalated into a fight, resulting in everyone getting injured.

"Yang Su, I really misjudged you." After sending Chen Weijun and Chen Weimin away, Old Chen stormed off to the machinery factory.

Yang Su is now completely deaf to everyone's words. Not only that, she also has mental problems. She smashed everything in the house, even the beds in each room were smashed to pieces.

Not to mention Xiang Hong is getting married at home, even old Chen has nowhere to sleep.

When Old Chen saw that his children were all gone, he knew that they must have run away when things got bad.

Although the children had their own little schemes, they weren't careless when it came to important matters. Tomorrow was Xiang Hong's big day, and they couldn't possibly ignore her and instead help him get entangled with Yang Su and the others.

They must have all gone to their mother's place.

Old Chen walked along the road, unsure of his own feelings. One moment he felt the children were heartless, not one of them helping him; the next he felt relieved that Xiang Hong had other options for marriage, otherwise the child would probably hold a grudge against him for life.

Thinking of Yang Su, Old Chen felt like he had swallowed shit. He had been so good to them, mother and son, but Yang Su had treated him like this, not only smashing up their house but also making him lose face in front of their relatives.

To be frank, this whole thing was her eldest son Wang De's own idea. It wasn't Chen Weiguo who forced him to sell his job. Even if Yang Su wanted to vent her anger, she couldn't take it out on him.

Even if Yang Su resented his sons for their underhanded tactics, why didn't she go after them instead of causing trouble for him? He always hoped for harmony and prosperity in the family; how could he possibly wish for her misfortune, much less for her and her sons to suffer?

He couldn't control Yang Su's madness anymore; let her do whatever she wanted from now on. He would never open his heart to her again.

Old Chen thought bitterly.

Chen Mei had originally planned to come earlier today. Chen Xianghong had found such a good man, and her former sister-in-law was so capable now. No matter what conflicts they had in the past, Chen Mei didn't want them to continue now.

However, she was held back by her mother-in-law, who suddenly fell ill today. She spent half the day taking care of her at the hospital, and in the end, she could only bring her two children over. Her husband, Song Tiancheng, was still at the hospital taking care of her.

When she arrived at the Chen family's house, it was already past dinnertime. The house was pitch black. Chen Mei was a little puzzled. Although it was late, they shouldn't be asleep so early, right?

She hesitated, checking several times to make sure she'd been here many times before; she couldn't possibly have gone to the wrong place. Looking at the familiar courtyard before her, she hesitantly knocked on the door.

The room was quiet for a while, then suddenly burst into loud crying again. Chen Mei unconsciously took a step back and began to wonder if she had encountered a ghost wall.

On this joyous day, someone was crying as if someone had died in her elder brother's room.

A moment later, the door opened, and a person with disheveled hair, a face covered in scratches, and swollen cheeks answered it.

Chen Mei was shocked. She squinted and tried to make out the person by the dim moonlight. She realized that the person was actually Yang Su's eldest son, Wang De. She couldn't help but feel anxious.

If Wang De is like this, then her older brother's family must have been robbed. "Wang De, why are you like this?"

Wang De gave a bitter smile. He knew that Chen Mei had come to attend Chen Xianghong's wedding, but with the family in such a state, her mother would beat him as soon as she heard the name of the Chen family. He didn't know what to say, so he could only kindly say to Chen Mei, "Something has happened at home. If you want to know what happened, why don't you... go and see Xiangbei's mother?"

He spoke his last sentence very softly; if Chen Mei hadn't had such good hearing, she almost wouldn't have heard it.

Before she could ask anything, the door in front of her was closed again.

Seeing the man's demeanor just now, Chen Mei immediately guessed that it was because Old Lady Xia had gone mad at the Chen family's house, otherwise why would Wang De speak in that tone?

Thinking of her former sister-in-law, Chen Mei's eyes darkened. If it really was her former sister-in-law who did it, then she had gone too far.
