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

Old Chen had just calmed himself down and was about to say something to ease the tension when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Old Lady Xia at the alley entrance. Her large head was peeking out into the light, and the coldness in her eyes seemed to want to kill him.

He was so frightened he almost screamed.

What's wrong with them all? Why are they all blocking this alley and scaring him? He's just a timid old man. Old Chen felt his heart beating extremely fast.

"I'm doomed," was his first thought.

Old Mrs. Xia was already very unhappy with his financial support for Widow Huang. Now that she had discovered him alone with Widow Huang in this alley, even if their relationship was completely innocent, Old Mrs. Xia would definitely... beat him to death.

However, he was an old man, in his prime, but not young either. He was also a junior leader in the machinery factory. How could he possibly ruin his future by getting involved with a widow?

He's an honest old man, his wife will definitely believe him, right?

He couldn't bring himself to say the words of comfort he had just wanted to. Old Chen picked up his bicycle and sped off toward Old Lady Xia, as if a ghost were chasing him.

That widow Huang is a real killer.

"Old woman, what brings you here?" Old Chen asked cautiously.

Old Mrs. Xia sneered, "Am I bothering you by coming here?"

Old Chen shook his head so hard it almost fell off. "No, no, you're here just in time."

Old Mrs. Xia asked in a sinister tone, "Just right for what? Just right for catching someone in the act?"

Old Chen was terribly wronged. "I didn't do it. I just wanted to go home early, that's why I came here. Going out that way, you just have to go through a big courtyard to get to our house. Who knew I'd run into her?"

"I was scared by her too. Look at my pants, she looked like a ghost, so scary. She made me fall, and I don't know if the paint on my bicycle is scratched." Old Chen even complained.

Today, Old Lady Xia was informed that her old man and a widow were doing something in a dark alley. The man was in a hurry to go home to cook for his family, so he didn't come over. Otherwise, this place would have been quite lively.

"Huang Li, what are you doing here? You didn't come here just to gamble on Old Chen, did you?"

Huang Li smiled awkwardly, "No way, sister-in-law, I just wanted to come and see the job. Didn't you say there was a cleaning job available?"

Grandma Xia chuckled, "You're even younger than me, how come your brain is so rusty? The job I mentioned yesterday wasn't in the machine factory. Besides, what use is it to you to ask Old Chen for this job? It's more useful to ask me."

Huang Li bit her lip. "Haha, yes, my brain is rusty. I made a mistake. I'll be leaving now."

She turned to run away again, but Old Lady Xia grabbed her hair.

"Oh dear, I'm sorry, I saw you were in such a hurry that I got anxious too. You like this job, right? I'll take you to find someone. The temporary job we talked about yesterday has already been taken, but there's another one, and I think you're the most suitable candidate."

Huang Li: ...Huh? This old woman is actually such a kind person?

But she didn't want to work. Even if Huang Li were to die, even if she jumped into the river and died outside immediately, she still wouldn't want to work.

Old Chen, standing to the side, grew anxious. Why was he really going to introduce her to someone? It was obvious that this widow Huang was someone who couldn't do anything right and was always hungry. How could someone like that work diligently? What if she was disliked and his wife was dragged down with her?

"Let's go, her affairs have nothing to do with us, don't be so meddlesome." Old Chen tried to pull Old Lady Xia away, afraid that she would offer unsolicited help.

Widow Huang struggled to remove the hair from Old Lady Xia's hand. Her scalp was really sore. This old woman must be taking revenge on her.

Huang Li nodded in agreement. "That's right, that's right. My business has nothing to do with you. You all need to leave now."
