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

Wang Ming's heart skipped a beat. Although he had bought his job with his own money, the favor he owed was indeed done to this old man.

If he really goes to the factory to cause trouble, even if the factory can't fire him, they will most likely use some disgusting means to transfer him to an even worse position.

These veteran workers who have worked in the factory for many, many years sometimes have extensive connections, so Wang Ming had to be wary of them.

But what could Wang Ming do when the old man threatened him like that? "Uncle Chen, you...you just think my mother is having an affair with another man, why do you only listen to what others say? Can't you listen to what she has to say?"

Look at the food on the table, and the clothes my mom is wearing. If she really hooked up with someone, would she really do it for a dish of pickled vegetables or a piece of clothing with so many patches? And these cardboard boxes—if she's already hooking up with someone, why would she bother pasting these cheap boxes that cost only a few cents each? What's in it for her?"

Old Chen was furious: "Who knows what she's after? Maybe she's after some other old man's body."

Yang Su, Wang Ming, Wang Xian: ......?

Yang Su felt she had been deeply insulted. Being told she was after the old man's body made her even angrier than being told she was having an affair. "Chen Weiguo, if you really can't think of a reason, you might as well say I went to have an affair to get revenge on you."

Who would want an old man's health? Would I want him because he's old and smelly, or because of the wrinkles on his body and face? Are you out of options, falsely accusing me for no reason?

Old Chen: "If you didn't steal anyone, why would they frame you for no reason?"

Yang Su kicked the stool away, shook off Old Chen's hand, and grabbed his collar with both hands. "Tell me, who said I cheated on you? If he's really trying to be helpful, then take me to confront him. I'm upright and honest, and I'm not afraid of a backstabbing person like him."

Even if Old Chen were to lose his mind, he would never actually betray the person. He felt that the other person was kindly reminding him, and if he sold the person and something happened, it would be troublesome.

So he said impatiently, "They're giving me face and you face too, they don't want to say it in public, otherwise you'll lose face. Just tell me directly, who are you dating?"

Yang Su: "What, if I get together with someone, you're going to let me go and live with him? You, Chen Weiguo, are that magnanimous?"

Old Chen's eyes widened. "So, you really have fallen for someone else, haven't you? You shameless slut."

Yang Su knew that no matter how she explained or said anything, this old man wouldn't believe her. The moment he came to her, he had already decided that she had cheated on him, and he wouldn't listen to anything else.

To deal with this petty old man who wouldn't listen and was even planning to starve his wife, Yang Su simply punched him.

After months of cold war, the elderly couple finally couldn't escape their fate of fighting.

In the end, Old Chen was subdued by the three of them, his face bruised and swollen, and he threw down a sentence: "Yang Su, give up on that idea. As long as I'm alive, you can forget about divorcing me."

Yang Su knew Chen Weiguo's thoughts. Although he had been beaten to a pulp, his pride as a man made him absolutely unable to get divorced a second time, otherwise everyone who saw him in the future would think that there was something wrong with him.

Yang Su's eyes lit up, and the next morning she went to the gate of the machinery factory to cry and complain. She still had several bruises on her face from fighting with Old Chen last night, and now she was crying outside the factory; she looked incredibly pitiful.

The factory manager had just arrived at work today when this happened, and he quickly called for help.

Now all factories are different from before. In the past, when a male colleague bullied his wife, the leaders could just ask him a few questions. If the male colleague listened, he listened; if not, they would just let it go.

But ever since Old Song from the textile factory went crazy and got an old lady into the position of women's director, all the women's directors in the factories suddenly started doing real work.

At first, these leaders were unwilling to cooperate, feeling that such things were not beneficial to production. However, this group of women directors united and reported these leaders to the higher-level women's federation.

That group of people went to the factory leaders every day to try to persuade them to change their minds. As long as they didn't give in, they would come to their door every day.

Who can handle this?

Not to mention, Director Song, the leader of the textile factory, would laugh at them and speak sarcastically to them whenever he saw them; anyone with a temper would find it unbearable.

In the end, this is how it turned out; now no factory dares to neglect female employees.

The factory director asked Director Qin, the women's director of the factory office, to come over and listen to the family member's difficulties, so that they wouldn't be accused of bullying people.

Director Qin had a very serious appearance, and his unsmiling demeanor made people want to back away. Yang Su was also surprised for a moment, but then she thought of Old Chen's dog-like nature, and realized that if she could really get some benefits by pressuring the factory, that would be fine.

Yang Su had wanted to come before, but she hadn't adjusted her mindset and caused trouble at the factory. Everyone thought the problem was with her, not Chen Weiguo, and she ended up suffering a crushing defeat that time.

This time, she knew how to pretend.

Anyone can pretend. The fact that she was able to make Old Chen marry her despite everything shows that she was quite skilled at it.

She composed herself and began to sob softly, "Factory director, leaders, I really have no other choice. I'm just a woman, unemployed, and I have to support my young son who's still in school. Life is already hard enough. Besides taking on some handicrafts from the neighborhood to make ends meet, I have absolutely no other source of income."

I thought that marrying Chen Weiguo would give me some relief, but he…” Yang Su paused for a moment, and everyone present knew about the incident they had caused earlier.

Seeing their knowing looks, Yang Su continued, "I thought that life would just continue like this, poor and simple, and that would be fine. I came to the factory before to ask Old Chen to go home, but you saw his attitude."

I was so angry back then that I fought with him; life was really tough. But since I couldn't get him to come back that time, I gave up and just decided to live a quiet life and not starve.

But who knew that yesterday, someone stirred things up, and he actually stormed home and accused me of cheating. He not only kicked and broke the cardboard boxes we had just made, but also said he would beat me to death. I... if my son hadn't been there, I probably wouldn't have been able to leave the house today.

Yang Su started to sob, clearly feeling incredibly wronged. Most of what she said was true, and combined with her demeanor, it did evoke sympathy.

Director Qin frowned. "You mean that Comrade Chen Weiguo doesn't give a single penny of his salary to his family now, and you, as his wife, can only make a living by pasting cardboard boxes, and yet he still wants to cause you trouble?"

Yang Su nodded pitifully.
