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

Chen Xiangnan felt that he smelled bad, and because he was unhappy, his tone became even worse, "Dad, you're already like this, what are you still doing?"

You were lucky today that I came to see you. Even the doctor said you might not have made it to tomorrow morning when Grandpa Li brings you food.

Chen Xiangdong and his wife had dark faces. Anyone would be unhappy to be called over late at night to deal with the affairs of a stubborn old man.

However, upon seeing that his second son had returned, Chen Xiangdong chatted with him for a while.

Old Chen's mouth was open, but no sound came out.

Chen Xiangnan leaned closer and said, "If I report this to the police this time, will you still stop me?"

Old Chen shook his head weakly, and with all his might, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Let Yang Su rot in jail."

Chen Xiangnan was relieved.

Therefore, the police arrived just as Chen Xiangbei arrived.

Of the four children, only Chen Xianghong is still missing. The military base is quite far away, so she's probably still on her way.

Chen Xiangnan forced out two crocodile tears. "Officer, I really can't take it anymore. My stepmother has ruined my father like this. If I had come a day later, the doctor said he might have died."

Chen Xiangdong and his wife stared wide-eyed, seeing their second son act so realistically for the first time. The last time he acted was when he and their third son went to Widow Huang's place to ask for money.

When Chen Xiangbei saw his second brother's deadly performance, he felt eager to try it out. It had been a long time since they had played together, and for some reason, he even felt a little nostalgic.

He immediately followed, tears welling up in his eyes, "Dad, Dad, are you alright? It's all my fault. I was too busy today and didn't see you. You were fine yesterday, how could you be like this after just one day? What happened, Dad?"

This put pressure on Chen Xiangdong. He was nervous, but as the eldest brother, he couldn't let his father down. He couldn't squeeze out any tears, so he buried his face in his father's arm and asked, "Dad, if you leave, how will we live?"

The constant crying in the ward was giving the police officers a headache. "Officers, I know you are very sad, but please cooperate with our investigation first, okay?"

Chen Xiangnan nodded, his face red from crying. "Yes, we'll all listen to the police officers and not make a sound. It's painful for Dad to hear. Let the police officers ask Dad first; he needs to rest later. He lost so much blood... Waaah..."

As soon as Chen Xiangbei received his second brother's look, he understood what he meant. He rushed over to help up his eldest brother, who was the most vulnerable, and led him to the shadows. He whispered, "Big brother, I know you're sad, but you just stepped on Dad's IV line."

Old Chen gasped for breath after each word, "The police officer... it was my second wife... Yang Su. She knocked me unconscious... and ran away, probably back to her old house on XX Road... Her two sons... beat me too... Waaah..."

Old Chen had been bedridden for months, his body no longer as strong as before. He was a emaciated old man, looking weakly at the police officers, with two lines of tears streaming down his face. It was a pitiful sight that would make anyone who heard it feel sad and weep.

Chen Xiangnan and the others realized that his father was the real drama queen; the few words he said, both in tone and emphasis, were extremely pitiful.

But then I thought about it again and realized that wasn't right. His dad must really be this weak today; he wasn't faking it.

Seeing that Old Chen was really speechless, but still had many important points to say, Chen Xiangnan took over the conversation himself, "Officer, my father retired from the factory after his stroke, and now he lives on a small pension every month."

We children also hoped that he could have more money to rely on, so every month the people from the machine factory would deliver the money directly to my dad. He was an eighth-grade worker, and with the money he had saved up before, it was more than enough to hire someone to take care of him.

But my stepmother stole the last of my dad's money, which made it impossible for him to pay for Uncle Li's care, so he had to rely on Yang Su to take care of him. My good stepmother not only didn't take good care of him, but she also beat and kicked him and didn't feed him.

I live in another city and can't take care of my family. My older brother and sister-in-law have to work and raise their children, who are at a very mischievous age. My younger brother has only been working at the factory for a short time, which is his busiest period. It's already good enough if I can visit him every day.

At this point, Chen Xiangnan choked up.

Chen Xiangbei immediately chimed in, "Officer, I really have no choice. I'm a new employee at the factory, and I can't very well take time off every day to take care of my dad. I also can't get rid of my stepmother."

Out of sheer desperation, my salary couldn't afford to hire someone to take care of my father every day. So I used my meager wages to hire someone to bring him three meals a day, and I checked on him myself every day.

Chen Xiangbei nudged Chen Xiangdong, who clenched his fists nervously. "Officer, I'm their eldest brother. I can't eat or sleep because of what happened to my dad. Just the day before yesterday, I was discussing with my third brother and my sister about pooling our money to take care of him, but... I didn't even visit him for a day, and this happened."

Chen Xiangbei silently gave him a thumbs up. His older brother's mind was surprisingly quick; he could make even baseless accusations sound plausible.

Chen Xiangdong felt a sense of belonging; he hadn't been able to participate last time, but this time he was finally able to act.

The police officer, filled with righteous indignation, patted Old Chen's hand, expressing that he would never let a good person go unpunished, nor would he let a bad person go unpunished.

After routinely questioning them, they left to find Yang Su.

At this moment, Yang Su was still unaware of what had happened. Although she had knocked Old Chen unconscious, she didn't think it was a big deal; the old man was tough, and it wasn't so easy for him to get into trouble.

So, without checking on Old Chen's condition, Yang Su returned to her original place and went to cause trouble for her former in-laws.

After all, Old Chen's house was so smelly that it was impossible for anyone to live there.

Even before Old Chen became paralyzed, her relationship with him was already so bad that everyone knew it. For her to serve Chen Weiguo was like dreaming.

Bah, the person Yang Su will have to serve in this lifetime hasn't even been born yet.

Yang Su snatched the big chicken leg from her former brother-in-law and ate it while cursing.

But before he could swallow it, there was a knock on his door.

Grandma Wang opened the door and saw a police officer in uniform standing there, looking very handsome, asking where Yang Su was.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the alley, Yang Su was handcuffed and taken away without even wiping the chicken leg oil off her hands.

This is the second time Yang Su has been arrested, less than a year after the last time.
