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

Chapter 144

“If my son hadn’t married you, you wretched thing, my grandson would be running around everywhere by now. You even dare to bring a wild man back. I wonder which man you had a child with and are trying to pin it on my son. A woman like you should be beaten to death. You might as well just die.”

"This bastard dares to demand compensation from us! You'd be better off going to jail together than staying at our house eating our food. I'm also going to your mother's house to give her a piece of my mind about how she could have given birth to such a shameless wretch!"

The two women started hurling insults at each other, revealing all sorts of old secrets. The amount of information was overwhelming; the villagers were thoroughly entertained. Since the village head wasn't there to intervene, no one dared to break up the fight, fearing they might get caught in the crossfire.

Zhao Hui was weak after giving birth when her mother-in-law slapped her twice across the face, knocking her to the ground.

The man next to Zhao Hui had almost finished fighting with the wild man. Both of them had bruises on their faces. The man Zhao Hui even lost a front tooth. He spat it out, and the tooth fell to the ground.

However, the wild man wasn't in much better shape; not only was his forehead bleeding, but he also had a bite wound on his neck, which was bleeding.

"Brother, should we still go over there?" Chen Xiangnan's brother stood awkwardly to the side. His brother had been cheated on like this, it was really tragic! But his brother was also in a problematic situation, he was guilty of hooliganism. If they went over there, what if he ended up getting arrested instead of getting away with it? How would he explain that to his family then?

He could only advise, "Brother, what you're doing with this woman is actually illegal..."

"I know, but aren't the profitable businesses we're doing also illegal?"

The brother lowered his head. What could he do? The bold get rich, the timid starve. But with his brother's situation, whether he sought justice or not, he wouldn't get away with it.

Chen Xiangnan's expression was also not good. If he rushed over, the melee might become even more intense, but if he didn't go, he would feel like he had lost out after all his efforts.

After considering for a moment, Chen Xiangnan said, "Forget it, let's go back. We won't get anything out of it."

He swallowed this bitter pill and went home with a dark expression.

Chen Xiangnan suffered another setback with a woman. The last time he was cheated on was by his wife. His neck felt heavy.

He felt incredibly unlucky, and his brothers even laughed at him.

Meanwhile, Grandma Xia called a few young men from the compound to help her take Old Chen home. He didn't need to be hospitalized. If Grandma Xia hadn't had to go to work, and if none of her three sons were of any use, Old Chen could have been discharged last night after his checkup. He didn't need to stay in the hospital for even a day.

They went home, and that brat Chen Xiangbei finally came home at mealtime, still complaining about being hungry. They'd already eaten at the hospital, so who cared about him?

While Grandma Xia wasn't looking, Chen Xianghong tossed him a sweet potato that he hadn't finished eating at noon, which moved Chen Xiangbei deeply. He almost thought he was going to be abandoned too, but his sister was still the best.

"Sister!" he said, eating a cold sweet potato. "What am I going to do now that you're gone? Mom has changed. You've gone to Shanghai. Who will care about my life from now on?"

Chen Xianghong: "Mom is just stubborn but soft-hearted. How could she not care about you?"

Chen Xiangbei shook his head. "Can't you see? Mom doesn't show any affection to us three sons anymore. She still remembers what happened to my eldest brother. Who dares to mess with her?"

Chen Xianghong: "Mom is just angry with my older brother. She'll be fine after a while."

Chen Xiangbei: "Sis, how can you be so stupid? We've been home for so many days, haven't you noticed? Mom is stubborn on the outside but even more stubborn on the inside. She's so vicious."

Chen Xianghong didn't believe it. Her mother had thought a lot about her in the hospital; she was not the kind of vicious mother she was.

"Don't be prejudiced against Mom, she's really a wonderful person."

Chen Xiangbei felt that he couldn't get along with his sister, so he decided to finish his meal early and go back to his room. His sister was just a blockhead; otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to the countryside back then.

When Chen Xiangnan took the last bus back, it was already very late. When he arrived at his family compound, the door was already locked. He tried to open the door with his key but found that he couldn't. Then he remembered that his mother had changed the lock but hadn't given him the new key yet.
