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

Old Chen and Yang Su got into a fight at the gate of the machinery factory. The two of them were holding nothing back and were more like enemies than husband and wife.

Yang Su muttered curses under her breath, "Chen Weiguo, you dog! When you wanted to marry me, you said you would take care of me for the rest of your life, but now, after only a few months, you're telling me to get lost. Your mouth is just like a fart."

"You just smashed a few things and you say you've lost all affection for me? I think you don't want to get married, you want to get married to an old maid who doesn't need to eat or spend money, to serve you, you old thing."

"You're the kind of person who only likes to hear nice things. Once I stop saying nice things, you say I'm not virtuous. You don't even know what kind of person you are. I've already reached my limit by being able to coax you for a few months. What do you have that's worth praising?"

"Your money is either swindled away by your son or by outsiders. Do you think your brain is just for decoration? You don't even think before giving money away."

"You said I wasn't virtuous, and that I lied to you, but you're the most hypocritical one. You put on a show of being respectable, but your hearts are black. There's not a single good person in your Chen family."

“One minute, the father found my son a lousy job and came to take credit, and the next minute he had his son swindle my eldest son out of his job and sell it. You got the favor, but we were all ruined by you.”

"You old bastard, you deserve to die. You're useless in life except for hurting people."

"..."

Yang Su had a sharp tongue, but Old Chen wasn't going to back down either.

"You think you're some kind of good person? You're just after my money, aren't you?"

"Call me 'Big Brother' when you need me, and 'Old Man' when you don't."

"Besides swindling the money out of me, what else do you have to say?"

"If you weren't so good at pretending, I wouldn't even give you a second glance. You're so ugly I can't even eat."

"With your good-for-nothing sons, even if you found a hundred men to give them jobs, they might not be able to stay."

"You know your own son's abilities. With their brains, even if he were cured, they'd still be drooling."

"..."

The elderly couple became bitter enemies, and if the security department hadn't intervened, they would both have been injured.

What a misfortune for the family! After being pulled away, Old Chen was stunned and couldn't understand why everyone had lied to him.

Yang Su was throwing a tantrum, demanding an explanation from the machinery factory. She said that a scoundrel like Chen Weiguo shouldn't be allowed to work properly. A man who doesn't support his wife or care for his family should be dealt with by the factory.

Let alone someone like Old Chen, even if someone beats their wife, they might not necessarily care.

Yang Su cursed for a while before a leader came out and called the two of them inside.

Old Chen refused to cooperate. He was already this old, and he wasn't expecting a promotion. He would retire in a few years, so what was he afraid of? On the contrary, the leaders needed him to train the people below them.

So he turned his head and went back to the workshop; he didn't care whether Yang Su was going crazy or not.

Yang Su went mad at the machine factory. The people at the machine factory even tried to persuade Old Chen to go back, but after listening to them, Old Chen took some time to go home, grabbed his belongings, and prepared to live at the factory permanently.

As for whether Yang Su and his two sons starve to death, that's none of his business. He can't even care about his own sons, let alone other people's sons.

When he liked their mother, he could treat Yang Su's sons like his own sons and would think of everything for them. But when he didn't like them, he wished those two brats would disappear from his sight along with their mother.

When he divorced Xia Yue'e, he started to dislike his own children. Whether they were sons or daughters, he felt resentment towards them. Therefore, he didn't treat them as well as Yang Su's son did.

He didn't know if all men were like that, but he was.

Old Chen, who was still angry, suddenly felt that his son was quite good. Even though the rumors about his third son liking an old man were all over the place, he... well, he was still angry.

Meanwhile, Jiang Wenhua was both excited and worried inside the house.

He took off his worn-out work clothes, and with his upper body bare, took out a brand-new work uniform from the small cabinet and carefully put it on.

The wardrobe contained Jiang Wenhua's factory uniforms from every year since he joined the factory, all brand new and unworn. The one he was wearing had been worn for many, many years. For him, as long as it wasn't worn out, he could keep wearing it. He might even be able to wear the two sets until he retired.

He never buys outerwear.

But starting tomorrow, his status will change. He will be a secretary from now on, so he has to dress presentably and be seen as the face of the factory.

He touched the worn-out work clothes with reluctance, saying, "I'll wear you again when I need to do hard work, my old partner."

Chen Xiangbei was also worried. Ever since Old Lady Xia told him about Director Song's intentions, he had been overjoyed. His outrageous behavior had cost him many job opportunities. No matter how capable he was, he was also very good at causing trouble, and many leaders probably preferred someone who was more obedient and honest.

Therefore, Director Song's discerning eye immediately won Chen Xiangbei's favor. On the day he went for the special recruitment interview, he was determined to impress them.

Chen Xiangbei stood in front of Tang Jia's second brother's wardrobe, hesitating and unsure which piece of clothing to grab.

Chen Xiangnan was furious. "Where are your own clothes? You always steal mine, you never do it!"

Chen Xiangbei said guiltily, "I don't have a wife to make clothes for me. How can I wear those old clothes to an interview? People will laugh at me."

Chen Xiangnan: "Now you know how to be embarrassed? Can you use your brain before you do things? Listen to your reputation now. When I go out, people ask me if I really like the old man."

Chen Xiangbei: "Whether they say it or not, if they want to, they can like old men themselves."

Tang Jiao laughed so hard she covered her stomach, but the interview was a big deal. "Xiang Bei, if you can't find anything, go pick one from my dad's place. He has a few pieces made of fabric that are more youthful and you might be able to wear them."

Chen Xiangbei was moved: "Second sister-in-law, you are so good to me. If you ever don't want my second brother anymore, I'll introduce you to some good young men."

Chen Xiangnan: "Get lost, or I'll beat you up if you say another word."

Chen Xiangbei muttered to himself, "Second brother, don't take your good fortune for granted. Let me tell you, I'm doing you a favor by wearing your clothes. You don't know how many people have their eyes on me recently, wanting me to work in their factories. I might become someone important in the future, and you'll have to rely on me."

Chen Xiangnan: "Look at your clothes before you speak. Where did you go and get another hole in them?"

Chen Xiangbei scoffed, "It's really no fun talking to you. Tell me, what kind of job will they give me after I go in? I wish it was a job that sounds really good."

Chen Xiangnan: "Your boss must be praying to you every day not to cause trouble."

Chen Xiangbei angrily picked out his second brother's most expensive item.
