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

The textile factory was bustling with activity, but Director Song accepted the incident well, so the factory's atmosphere didn't deteriorate or lead to any ridicule or isolation.

Although Director Song seemed to have some mental issues, he was still generally very positive and optimistic, so Grandma Xia was relieved.

Meanwhile, Old Chen, who works at the machinery factory, is having a tough time. He has been living at the factory for many days now. His original temporary dormitory was just for resting during overtime work, but now he has turned it into his own dormitory.

When he heard the news, Old Chen was teaching his young apprentice. He had sharp ears and heard someone behind him talking about his son, so he went over to ask.

When he heard the rumors, he was completely stunned. For other families, having a successful descendant is considered auspicious, but for his family to have someone like Chen Xiangbei is truly a curse.

How could a normal person do such a thing, competing with another young man for an old man who is about the same age as him?

Is that brat lacking in fatherly love or just plain stupid? Even if he liked an old lady, it would be better than liking an old man. Why is he trying to steal an old man from someone else? Are old men some kind of hot commodity? Is that old man exceptionally beautiful and talented? How can you steal an old man?

Old Chen's vision went black, and he heard the laughter of others all around him. He wanted nothing more than to beat that little beast, Lao San, to death.

Before he could compose himself, he heard the security guards calling him to the main gate; Yang Su had arrived.

Old Chen felt a wave of disgust. Just thinking about Yang Su annoyed him. In such a short time, his initial fondness for her, which was so strong that he was willing to offend his whole family to marry her, had turned into something he found repulsive and annoying just by looking at her.

Old Chen had gone back in the middle of the trip, wanting to get his clothes and see if Yang Su's attitude had softened. But Yang Su argued and made a scene with him, and Wang De only left him ten yuan, giving the rest to Yang Su. He went to the countryside with just a few pieces of clothing and some receipts, looking extremely shabby.

Since Wang De stopped contributing to household expenses, Yang Su only had the four hundred yuan Wang De gave her and the money left over after deducting the money Old Chen made from buying the job, which wasn't much anyway.

After arguing with Old Chen, Old Chen refused to deduct money from Wang Ming's salary for the job. After discussion, Wang Ming decided to use the money to buy the job. Working hard for a month, only to receive a few dollars in the end, is unbearable for anyone.

Not to mention, Old Chen had made it sound so good, saying how great the job was, but once he actually did it, he realized it was a dead-end job with lots of wrangling with different departments and being bossed around by older colleagues. Wang Ming was miserable.

Under his persuasion, Yang Su used all her money to buy him a job, so that he would receive more money each month.

But Yang Su didn't know that Old Chen had already decided not to spend a single penny on the family, and even if she argued with him, he wouldn't get the money back.

So after Yang Su smashed up the house, there was no money or ration coupons to replace the damaged items.

When Old Chen returned home, Yang Su pressured him for money, which led to a huge argument between them. Old Chen threatened that even if they starved to death, he would never bring anything home.

Two people who seemed to be a loving couple after getting married fell apart.

But Yang Su is going to starve. After deducting the money for buying a job, how much does Wang Ming actually get each month? Even though Yang Su made him pay over 400 yuan upfront, he's still short several hundred yuan. So even if he hands over all his remaining wages, the three of them will only be able to barely survive.

Yang Su hated Wang De even more. That was his job, and by doing this, not only did he put them in debt, but he also ruined Old Chen's relationship with them. Even if Wang Ming didn't pay off the debt, his salary was still much lower than Wang De's.

And to make matters worse, that old man actually wanted to sever all ties with her and wouldn't even come home anymore, leaving the mother and her two children truly destitute.

So she came today. If she can't persuade Chen Weiguo to change his ways, she'll at least show the workers at the machinery factory what kind of person he really is.

When Old Chen went out, Yang Su waited miserably at the door. The sun was blazing outside, and the security guards invited her in to sit down, but she refused.

When she saw Old Chen come out, Yang Su's eyes were filled with tears. "Brother Chen, you've finally agreed to see me."

Old Chen stopped in front of her and asked curtly, "What do you want from me?"

“Brother Chen, we’re family. Even if you’re still angry with me, you can’t stay away from home. That’s your home. It’s not right for you to always stay at the factory.” Yang Su tried to take Old Chen’s hand, but he dodged her.

"Home? You've taken the bed apart, where am I supposed to sleep?" Old Chen got angry just thinking about it. A bed is so expensive these days. This spendthrift doesn't care about anything when she's angry. Sure enough, she has no conscience when it comes to smashing things that she didn't pay for.

Yang Su's face stiffened. For the past few days, they had been sleeping on the bed board, and she had broken all four legs of the bed, so she simply dismantled it.

"Brother Chen, I admit I was wrong. I swear I'll never do it again." Yang Su continued to play the victim, making promises and apologizing. She didn't want to live in that kind of house either.

Old Chen: "Okay."

Yang Su thought Old Chen had agreed, and said with a smile, "Then I'll pick you up after get off work today. I'll cook you something nice to eat. You must be exhausted from staying at the factory."

Old Chen: "No need. You're moving out today. You're right, that house was allocated to me by the machinery factory, not for you. Get out of here today."

Yang Su's eyes widened. "What did you say? You want me to get out?"

Old Chen: "Yes, I must have been blind to fall for someone like you. You enjoy smashing things, right? Now that you're broke, you think of me. I'll fix up your things, and you can smash things again? I can't afford a woman like you."

Yang Su shouted, "I've already admitted my mistake, what more do you want from me?"

Old Chen: "I'm telling you to get out, understand? You and your sons, all of you, get out of here. You're no good, and your sons aren't good either. Get out of my house. If I see you haven't left when I get home from get off work today, I'll throw all your things out."

"You've really fooled me. You're not a virtuous and capable woman at all. Just keep pretending and go fool the next man. My Chen family can't tolerate you anymore. You've wrecked the house today, are you going to come and kill me tomorrow? What else wouldn't you dare to do?"

Yang Su was furious at what he said. Under the pointing fingers of others, Yang Su realized that Old Chen was unyielding and seemed to want to break up with her. She was not Old Chen's useless ex-wife.

Yang Su threw a punch and cursed, "I don't need to wait until tomorrow, I can kill you today."
