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

Old Chen lay on his hospital bed, babbling on and on, but none of the children listened to him. And just like that, his affairs were arranged.

"Let's ask Grandpa Li from the next courtyard to come and look after Dad today. He's a kind man, and if possible, we can ask him to take care of him from now on." Chen Xiangbei thought about who to ask and realized that Grandpa Li was the best option. He lived nearby and was a good person.

Chen Xianghong smiled and said, "Finding people is your forte. None of us know as much as you do, so you can make the arrangements."

"You...you unfilial children, I'm going to sue...you! I still need Yang Su...to take care of me, call her...to me here!" Old Chen could barely speak, but his mind was still full of thoughts of harming others.

Chen Xiangbei said impatiently, "Dad, just stay put. You keep looking for Yang Su. She's already had a stroke because of you, and you still want to see her. Even if you want to cause trouble for others, think about yourself first."

You couldn't beat her when you were full of energy, but now you're half-paralyzed in bed. When she beats you until you scream and cry for help, you'll feel good.

Still thinking of suing us? Still want to curse us? Save your energy. Who can you sue now? We didn't abandon you, this half-paralyzed old man, under a bridge. Aren't we being kind? You're counting on us now, so you'd better behave yourself.

Old Chen fell silent, but just as they were about to leave, he spoke again, "We can't... let her go."

Amidst Old Chen's shouts, the group left.

Zhu Wenying thought about Yang Su's situation, "Third brother, do you think Yang Su has enjoyed so many benefits from Dad, and now that Dad is in trouble, she's run away, leaving us to clean up the mess? Isn't that letting her off too easily?"

Chen Xiangbei smiled. "Brother-in-law, what do you think?"

Yu Hongzhen coughed tactically. This kid had actually entrusted him with such a difficult topic, but seeing that everyone was looking at him, he could only say tactfully, "Given Dad's temper, when the leaders from the machinery factory come to see him, he'll probably bring up Wang Ming's job..."

Having said all he could say, Yu Hongzhen felt it wouldn't be good to say more, as it would seem as if he were talking badly about his elders behind their backs.

Zhu Wenying covered her mouth, "Wang Ming will be fired? Good heavens, that would be the first person in our area to be fired."

Chen Xiangbei was speechless: "Sister-in-law, don't be so optimistic in broad daylight. He didn't do anything wrong, the factory won't fire him. At most, he'll be transferred to a more difficult position, and it might be a little difficult for him to get promoted in the future."

Zhu Wenying pursed her lips. What was the use? She still wouldn't get any benefits.

Chen Xiangbei went back to Grandma Xia's place and sat there playing with Chen Lingling.

"Mom, do you know what's wrong with Dad?"

Grandma Xia shook her head, "How would I know? I don't care."

Chen Xiangbei: "I'm just telling you casually. He had a stroke because of Yang Su, and Yang Su ran away. No one's taking care of him, so a few of us discussed it..."

After recounting what the hospital had said, he sighed and said, "That old man is really something. He doesn't want to live a good life; he just has to make things difficult for himself."

Grandma Xia stopped what she was doing. "You lot... what's the big deal?"

Chen Xiangbei: "We can't just ignore him, we all need to make a living in this industry. Director Song said that as long as we have a conscience, we can't lose our integrity, and we have to cherish our reputation."

Although my dad wasn't a good father and didn't teach us much, he still loved us to some extent growing up. Even though what he did later was heartbreaking, it shouldn't have gone so far as to leave us to die.

Grandma Xia opened her mouth, but then realized there was nothing to ask. The child's thoughts and actions were completely different in this life compared to the last.

If you judge his current behavior based on your impressions from his past life, it won't apply at all.

Chen Xiangbei continued, "Sometimes I feel that Director Song is more like my father. He teaches me a lot, cares about my love life, and even takes me home for dinner. Although he complains about me, he will secretly tell his wife that he will cook my favorite dishes for me."

However, Mom, you're amazing. If you hadn't started to improve, I probably would still be just drifting along like before. Mom, I want to be like you, learning until I'm old.

Grandma Xia: "Are you saying that I didn't set a good example for you before, and I didn't choose a good father for you, so that's why you've ended up like this?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiangbei changed the subject and said, "Mom, to be honest, lately I've been introducing people to blind dates, and I've found that when choosing a partner, you have to use the same standards you use when choosing parents. You have to see if he or she is suitable to be a parent."

Generally speaking, people who are suited to be parents will have good families in the future. Even for the sake of their children, they wouldn't allow themselves to do anything outrageous.

Grandma Xia opened her eyes wide and asked, "Is this why you want to date Qiao Yi?"

Both mother and son were quick-witted, and the topic veered off to completely different places.

Thinking of this painful memory, Chen Xiangbei felt even more depressed. "No, it's not that I don't really like her. But everyone in her family would be perfect to be a parent. Her parents are great parents, and Brother Qiaoshan would definitely be a good father too. He made toys for me before, so he'd be really good at comforting kids."

"Not to mention Qiao Yi, I can't find anyone better than her. How could I possibly date her?"

When Qiao Yi was mentioned, Chen Xiangbei got excited. Since there were no outsiders in the room, he could say whatever he wanted.

Grandma Xia regretted it; she shouldn't have brought it up. Once this boy started talking, he just wouldn't stop.

A few days later, Chen Xiangnan sent over four hundred yuan, specifically asking Chen Xiangbei to take it to his father.

Chen Xiangbei held the money, eating his aunt's nutritious meal while muttering to himself, "My second brother has been divorced twice, and he's actually developed a conscience?"

After Old Chen was discharged from the hospital, Wang Ming was indeed transferred to another post. He cried and complained to Yang Su for a long time, which made Yang Su so angry that she rushed to Old Chen and went crazy.

Grandpa Li stood in front of the crazed Yang Su, afraid she would hurt someone. He had finally found a job that paid well, and he was determined to do it well.

But Old Chen was restless. Even though Yang Su was already so angry, he wanted to add fuel to the fire, saying, "Yang Su, your son... doesn't even give you money, what's there to be angry about?"

Your son and my son... are not the same. My son would give me money for treatment when I was sick, while your son would only run off to the countryside and... fly into a rage.

Grandpa Li almost couldn't stop Yang Su. The woman's eyes were red with anger as she cursed at Old Chen, spitting all over his face.

"Chen Weiguo, you will not have a good end."

"You think your sons are so filial to you? If they were really filial, they would have taken care of you themselves long ago."

"You've been discharged from the hospital for several days now. Have they come to see you since the first day?"

"You laugh at my son for being unfilial, but take a look at yourself first."

"That's true. If the father doesn't act like a father, then the son naturally won't act like a son."

Yang Su casually threw the bowl of porridge that was placed aside at Old Chen, who was scalded and cried out.

Grandpa Li looked worried; as expected, making money is hard and getting by is even harder.
