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

“Jiaojiao, Ping’an had a fever yesterday, and you didn’t sleep all night. Dad will go to the hospital to ask for a day off for you. You should rest well today. I’ll come back later and take care of Ping’an for you.” Tang’s father looked at the dark circles under Tang Jiao’s eyes and felt very distressed.

Tang's mother also developed a fever last night and had her eldest son and daughter-in-law accompany her to the hospital. They didn't return home until the early hours of the morning.

The second son's father-in-law had some business to attend to, so the couple and their child went to help.

Tang's father performed several surgeries yesterday and was taken to rest by Tang Jiao.

The whole family was exhausted, but they didn't complain to each other; they just felt sorry for one another.

Since Tang Jiao divorced Chen Xiangnan, she has been heartbroken for a long time. Her family members also know about her unresolved issues and basically don't mention Chen Xiangnan, treating him as if Tang Ping'an's father had died.

When Tang Jiao gave birth, they even took their anger out on Chen Xiangnan's family, but later Tang Ping'an was saved and grew up safely to his 100th birthday celebration, which eased the relationship between the two families a lot.

After all, Old Mrs. Xia had already scolded and hit Chen Xiangnan. The old lady herself was heartbroken, but Chen Xiangnan was still like this. What could she do?

Grandma Xia even offered to pay for someone to take care of Tang Jiao's child, as it was too difficult for her to care for the child alone, but the Tang family refused. Tang Jiao herself also had problems in this failed marriage.

When she first caught Chen Xiangnan after their marriage, Old Mrs. Xia tried to persuade her, but she wouldn't listen, thinking that Chen Xiangnan would change.

Later, Chen Xiangnan caused Tang Jiao to suffer so much because of his past philandering, something that could have been avoided by that brat.

Consider it a lesson learned; that's what everyone in the Tang family advised themselves and Tang Jiao.

What's most heartbreaking is little Tang Ping'an. Although it's tough for Tang Jiao to raise her alone, watching her grow up brings many happy moments.

However, some shameless adults, perhaps because they are unhappy in their own lives, can be very malicious towards a child.

When Chen Lingling was raised in their family, people would tell her that Tang Jiao was not her biological mother, and some even said that her biological mother was a bad person and died because she had an affair with another man.

The adults in the Tang family have argued with those people many times over these words. Chen Lingling is a well-behaved child, and hearing these words will definitely make her sad. Sometimes she even has nightmares at night.

Back then, Chen Xiangnan was still with her, and the two of them would coax her together.

Now it's Tang Ping'an's turn. The five-year-old sometimes asks Tang Jiao if she's a bad child. Even though Tang Jiao keeps telling her she's the best child, Tang Ping'an's personality has become less lively, and she's even become too sensible for her age.

Tang's parents put in countless efforts behind the scenes for this matter. They hated themselves for being bad at arguing, unable to win against those with malicious intentions, and even being ridiculed by them.

Holding her anger in her heart, Tang's mother finally couldn't help but ask Grandma Xia for help. Sometimes, professional matters should be left to professionals.

When Grandma Xia heard about this, she was so angry that she dragged Xiao Fang and Xiao Jiang to the homes of those foul-mouthed people and took turns cursing them for three days and three nights. She was almost ready to go to the workplaces of those people's children to curse them.

The matter was not over until those people came to apologize with gifts.

When Tang Ping'an was eight years old and started elementary school, Tang Jiao met Teacher Wang at the school.

That year was the peak of the educated youth returning to the city. Teacher Wang had only recently returned. When he was in the countryside, he always thought about returning to the city and didn't want to delay the girl he met there, so he never got married. After returning to the city, he got older and stopped thinking about it, focusing all his attention on educating his children.
