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

Dong Chunmiao is truly wicked to have the heart to torment such a lovely child.

Chen Xiangnan patted her fluffy little head and said, "Don't worry, Daddy will take care of it."

"Mmm." The little guy nodded, feeling sleepy as soon as he relaxed.

"Let me carry her back to her room to sleep, Second Brother." Chen Xianghong also lowered her voice and picked up the child.

"This is troublesome." Chen Xiangnan tapped his hand on the table a few times, then went out the door, turned left and right, and entered a half-closed door.

Grandma Xia didn't return with her people until late at night. Dong Chunmiao was unwell and needed to stay in the hospital for another day. She was worried about Chen Lingling. Although her second son had sent the neighbor's son to deliver the news, she still wanted to see Chen Lingling herself to put her mind at ease.

She opened the door, glanced inside, and then slipped into Chen Xianghong's storage room.

"Did your sister-in-law say anything to you afterward?"

Chen Xianghong hadn't slept either. So much had happened since she got back today, and she was feeling quite upset. She didn't want her arrival to cause any unrest at home, nor did she want to put her mother in a difficult position.

"No, my sister-in-law is fine."

Grandma Xia: "Don't worry too much. I'm the one who calls the shots in this family. Your sister-in-law is the kind of person who never gets enough of taking advantage of others. She'll argue with you whether you're home or not."

"Mom is tired. Your arrival is a good opportunity to help her. They are all unfilial and treat me like a donkey."

Chen Xianghong also felt that her mother was tired, having to manage the affairs of such a large family, and none of them were easy to deal with. However, she also knew that this was what Grandma Xia said to make her feel at ease and settle down, and she understood everything.

Grandma Xia also took a refreshing bath. Her dear daughter discovered that after the hot water ran out, she boiled a lot more, intending to give it to them while they were still in the hospital.

The mother and daughter slept together, and Chen Xianghong hugged her mother, feeling warm inside.

The next morning, Grandma Xia got up early and started cooking, packing lunchboxes as she went. Chen Xianghong helped her out, and the two of them were both efficient workers, so the lunchboxes were ready in no time.

"Go call your dad, I'll go call your older brother and sister-in-law." Old Mrs. Xia pounded on the door loudly.

"I'm going to die, do I have to call you guys to eat? Hurry up and get up to eat."

After calling out to the eldest son's family, she went to the second son's room and heard from Xiang Hong that the child had been terrified yesterday. "Lingling, get up! Grandma made you some delicious steamed egg custard, it smells so good, get up quickly."

Chen Lingling rubbed her eyes, dressing herself while having Grandma Xia braid her hair. "Is there really steamed egg custard, Grandma?"

Grandma Xia moved gently, "Of course, when has Grandma ever lied to you?"

Chen Lingling cheered, "That's great!"

At the table, several people were eating their meal with great enthusiasm.

"Xiang Hong, your dad, your older brother, your sister-in-law, and I are going to work later. Take the two kids and deliver lunch to your second sister-in-law. I've already packed it. Go out and buy something to eat at noon, and buy some for the two kids and your second sister-in-law as well. I'll give you the money later."

Chen Xianghong nodded, "Mom, I have money."

“Your older brothers are both married, so how could they take advantage of you, an unmarried daughter? Once you start working, you'll contribute to my household expenses just like they do.”

Chen Xianghong then agreed.

After finishing her meal, Grandma Xia wiped her mouth with satisfaction. "Eldest son, this week was supposed to be your turn to do the housework, but Xiang Hong and I finished yesterday. This is the last day of the week, so we did it today. Next week it will be your turn, don't forget."

"Mom, we've already paid." Zhu Wenying couldn't take it anymore. She hadn't done any work since she married into the family, and now she had to pay money and do chores again. Why should she?

"Do you think that little bit of money is enough to hire a nanny?"

Zhu Wenying remained silent, which was certainly not enough, but weren't we all family?

"I'll put my words here: you two families will take turns doing the work, I'll just take care of your meals, and Xiang Hong will take care of your children. Let's have a clear division of labor to avoid future disputes."
