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

He did it on purpose.

Grandma Xia dragged Chen Xianghong out of the kitchen. "What did I tell you before? Who let you in?"

Chen Xianghong gave an awkward smile, "I was thinking that you all must be tired from work, so I wanted to clean up the kitchen first, at least so that the two little ones could have something hot to eat. But, this place is a mess, even the flour is wet."

"You come out first, just leave it like this." Old Mrs. Xia said, while grinning menacingly, "I'll go find your father."

These words were truly sinister. Only after Old Lady Xia's figure disappeared did the children dare to breathe heavily.

"Will my dad be alright?"

"It should still be warm when it comes back... right?"

"Our mother is so old, she wouldn't do anything to end up in a labor camp, would she?"

"What if...the incident involving Xiao Ma's wife is still fresh in my mind?"

Everyone huddled together in fear. Chen Xianghong wiped her hands with her apron and wanted to go in again, but her second brother stopped her. "Don't go. Just leave it here. If you clean up later, Mom might go crazy again."

“Yes, it’s obvious that Mom wants to teach Dad a lesson for his bad habit. We shouldn’t make her even angrier, or she might hit us while she’s at it. That would be such a loss.” Hearing what the second sister said, Zhu Wenying could also see that her mother-in-law wouldn’t let her father-in-law off the hook this time.

Thinking about how she had just argued with her mother-in-law, she wanted to slap herself. That stinking mouth of hers—she deserved to get hit later; it was just a little hunger, after all.

Her mother-in-law is an honest person; if she says the meals are included, she definitely won't stand them up.

Besides, her husband bought her some snacks; after all, she's pregnant and can't really starve herself.

What else is she dissatisfied with?

I sincerely pray that her mother-in-law won't hit her later, and that she will minimize her presence as much as possible.

"Forget it, let's go back inside and come out again when things calm down." Zhu Wenying turned around and took the child back inside. Let her husband bear the storm alone in their little family. There will be trouble when her father-in-law comes back later. It wouldn't be right for the whole family to stay out.

Chen Xianghong also fell silent. Given her mother's state, it was hard to believe that she was still rational.

Everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

"Xiang Hong, I heard you had some trouble today?" Chen Xiangdong started the conversation.

"Hmm? How did you know, brother?" Chen Xianghong sometimes admired his keen senses; nothing escaped his ears.

Chen Xiangdong: "I ran into a friend who works as a temporary worker at the Public Security Bureau when I was leaving get off work."

Chen Xianghong had no choice but to tell the truth, which angered everyone.

When there are no vested interests involved, everyone is relatively united, just like Chen Xiangbei would stand up for his sister.

Chen Xianghong reminded them not to tell their mother, as her mother's temperament was currently unstable, so it was best to say as little as possible.

The siblings were also a little uneasy at home. On the one hand, they were worried about whether Old Chen could escape today, and on the other hand, they were thinking about the officer who would come to their house tomorrow. Finally, they were also thinking about their rumbling stomachs.

Meanwhile, Old Lady Xia stormed into the factory in a rage.

At the entrance, she calmed herself down, greeted the security guards on duty, and went inside. Everyone here was a worker in the area; Old Mrs. Xia and Old Mr. Chen had worked here for many years, and everyone knew them, so no one stopped her.

"Oh, Auntie, what brings you to our machine factory today? Are you here to see Uncle Chen?"

“Our uncle truly deserves to be called an outstanding worker. It’s so late and he’s still not home. No wonder you’re worried about him, Auntie.”

"He's in workshop one. Auntie, you should go find him quickly. Work is important, but you can't skip meals. You're not taking care of your health."

As Grandma Xia walked along, people greeted her, which shows that Old Chen was well-liked in the factory.

Old Chen was feeling very uneasy today, as if something was about to happen. Even his young apprentice said that his forehead looked a bit dark today.
