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

After finishing her daughter's wedding, Grandma Xia threw herself back into her beloved career. Today, she was going to visit the home of Pan Yinghao, who had just been nominated by the factory.

Seeing this reported incident filled Grandma Xia with anger. Pan Yinghao has four brothers; he's the eldest, and his job was transferred to him by his father. But now, his mother has suffered a stroke and is paralyzed in bed, and his father's health isn't good either. When they need care the most, none of his children are there.

Before, when their elderly mother was in relatively good health, she would take odd jobs from the neighborhood office to work at home, and the couple could barely make ends meet. But now she has suffered a stroke. Their father takes medication year-round, and their mother, who is paralyzed, also needs medication. The father's odd jobs alone are barely enough to cover their food and drink, and they simply cannot afford the medication.

All the sons have jobs, but none of them come to help. Even if they can't come to take care of the children, it would be good if they could at least give them some money. But they keep passing the buck. The second son says that the eldest son won't give him any money, and the third, fourth, and fifth sons say that they found their own jobs. Only the eldest and second eldest sons have jobs given to them by their parents, so they have no responsibility to take care of the children.

As the matter was passed around, it was eventually reported to Director Shao of the food factory. Director Shao had previously stated at the exchange meeting that she would improve herself and the factory's atmosphere, so as soon as the meeting ended, she began to take action.

Grandma Xia was also invited to participate in the women's directors' exchange conference that she had reported to the organization, and she benefited greatly from it.

The one at the food factory is the third son of the Pan family, and the one at Old Lady Xia's textile factory is the eldest son of the Pan family. I heard that Director Shao has notified all five sons of the Pan family's factories, and today he's going to clarify this pension issue in front of the women's directors and their leaders at each factory.

Grandma Xia couldn't help but admire Director Shao's execution ability; in other words, she was able to get everyone in line. Grandma Xia knew very well that her own influence within the leadership was weak, and if she relied on herself, the other factories might not necessarily listen to her.

"Xiao Fang, come with me to Comrade Pan Yinghao's house this morning. We'll go see what's going on. Last week I asked you to tell Comrade Pan Fu and their director. Did you inform them?" Old Lady Xia called out.

Fang Yingdi said with some difficulty, "I've notified Director Xia. However, their workshop director is unwilling to leave the factory, saying that the production schedule is tight and there isn't enough time."

Grandma Xia: "You told me about this before, and I already know. Let's go first and see how it goes. Anyway, Director Song said that character is also a consideration for promotion, so we'll write a report for him later."

Last month, Fang Yingdi submitted a job transfer application, which was approved, and she started working at the factory's labor union under Old Lady Xia's supervision. After more than half a month, it seems that Comrade Fang's influence is quite considerable.

Ever since Grandma Xia and Jiang Wenhua helped Xiao Fang resolve her family's issues, she often followed Grandma Xia around. Even though Grandma Xia was just a factory worker at the time, she still followed her everywhere... to persuade her.

Qiao Yi had been transferred to the factory's publicity department earlier. She had beautiful handwriting and a good personality, so she must have done quite well.

After picking up Pan Fu's file, Grandma Xia left the office with Xiao Fang.

When Grandma Xia arrived, she was the last one there. Everyone else had already arrived and was sitting inside, and the atmosphere was a bit tense.

Upon seeing Grandma Xia arrive, the elderly Pan father shakily brought stools for them, then sat down beside his mother's bed, his eyes slightly red.

Seeing his sons fighting so fiercely over his care for him was heartbreaking. He wouldn't have wanted things to turn out this way if he weren't truly facing certain death.

Grandma Xia greeted everyone in turn, but when she saw Pan Li from the cannery, she suddenly froze, shocked. Under the questioning look in his eyes, Grandma Xia forced herself to suppress her emotions and greeted the next person.

Pan... Pan Mei was the wife of the third son in her family in her previous life, and her father was this Pan Li.

When they got married, apart from Pan Li and his wife, no other relatives came, and the bride's side didn't even have a wedding banquet. The explanation given was that they had fallen out with their brothers years ago, and their parents had passed away, so no relatives could come. Therefore, when Grandma Xia was looking at Pan Fu's information this time, she didn't even consider that possibility.

It seems that this incident is what caused them to break off their ties.

Thinking of Pan Mei, Old Lady Xia felt another surge of anger. She was an even more unreasonable daughter-in-law than Zhu Wenying. In her past life, Pan Mei had helped them take care of their children, and whenever the children cried, she would blame herself, which would make the third son unhappy, and in the end, she was kicked out.

Pan Li and his wife were no pushovers either. She took care of the children at Xiang Bei's house and sometimes had to serve the two of them. They didn't go to their son's house, but always came to their daughter's house to freeload. They always came when Old Lady Xia was being supported by Xiang Bei's family.

Grandma Xia had reason to suspect that Pan Mei had deliberately sent these two people to cause her trouble. Because, normally, Pan Mei didn't seem to care much about her parents.

While Grandma Xia was reminiscing about her past life, the five sons of the Pan family were already arguing.

"Eldest brother, don't put the blame on me. Dad gave you the job, and I, as the third brother, didn't get any benefits."

"Third brother, how dare you say you didn't get any benefits? Mom gave you a lot of money, didn't she? The money you used to get married was the portion of my income that I gave you after I started working."

"Second son, Mom gave you the job, don't even think about escaping this responsibility."

"Fourth brother, Dad broke his leg while delivering vegetables to your house. He recovered, but his health has deteriorated. You have to accept that."

"Mom's health problems started when she gave birth to our fifth child. Maybe he's the culprit behind her current condition."

Grandma Xia's ears were filled with the names of her eldest son, second son, and third son... Her head was spinning, and when she looked at the others, their complexions weren't much better than hers.

With their leaders present, these brothers showed no mercy and started arguing, their gazes toward their parents were anything but kind, let alone when the leaders weren't around.

The parents who raised them from childhood, Xia thought of the records of the old man Pan’s performance in the factory before he changed jobs. Everyone said he was an honest man who was good to his children and should not be the kind of person who neglects his children. So why are these children like this?

As the argument escalated, the children suddenly began attacking their parents. Some said they were a burden, others said they were biased, and some even went so far as to say why they didn't just die and why they had to be a burden to their parents.

Watching this farce unfold, the old man of the Pan family shed tears, his eyes clouded with tears.

The mother of the Pan family, lying on the bed, raised her trembling hand and mumbled something incoherently, tears sliding from the corners of her eyes onto the pillow.

"Shut up, all of you!" Director Shao, who initiated this incident, truly never expected that someone could be so wicked towards their parents.
