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

Chapter 168

Chen Xiangdong: "You can't say anything nice. I asked Mom for help! Damn it, I forgot to go back and ask for leave."

Chen Xiangdong suddenly realized that he still had to go to work today. He wondered if his colleague who was with him yesterday had asked for leave for him, and someone also needed to ask for leave for Wenying.

Since my parents are at the factory, I'll take some time off to visit them.

Chen Xiangdong asked someone to pass on a message, but unfortunately, Grandma Xia refused to see him. He knew his mother was still angry and bothered by him, so he went to find his father instead.

Old Chen did come out, but his first words were, "I have no money!"

Chen Xiangdong: "Dad, I didn't come here to ask you for money."

Old Chen: "Really? Every time you came to the factory before, it wasn't because you needed money. One minute it was because Baoyuan was feeling unwell, the next it was because your wife was sick. You just loved to swindle money from me."

“Let me tell you, I only get a few dollars of pocket money each month, and the rest is all with your mom. With that little bit of money, I have to save it to treat the staff to food and drinks, and sometimes to buy cigarettes. I don’t have a single penny more.”

Chen Xiangdong said with a bitter face, "Dad, I really didn't come here to ask you for money, I came here to ask you for help."

Although Old Chen hadn't heard what it was about, his intuition told him it couldn't be anything good. "I can't help you."

Chen Xiangdong: "I don't want your money or your things. I'm in trouble and I need my mother to step in."

"Then go find your mother, why are you looking for me?"

Chen Xiangdong: "My mother won't see me."

Old Chen immediately regretted it; he wished he hadn't come out.

"You know, your mother doesn't listen to me."

Chen Xiangdong pleaded pitifully, "Dad, even if we've separated the family, does that mean you're no longer my parents? Wenying and I were bullied by the Zhu family. Wenying lost her baby and is still in the hospital."

Old Chen was anxious. He had watched his son grow up, get married, and have children, so naturally he still had some feelings for him. "How could the baby be gone? It's been several months, the pregnancy should be stable by now, how could it have been lost?"

Chen Xiangdong: "The Zhu family is utterly inhuman..."

Old Chen's eyes widened as he listened. Was the Zhu family some kind of den of dragons and tigers, even more terrifying than the Ma family? That beast Zhu Wenfei, he actually beat his own sister to the point of miscarriage, is he even human?

"I'll go talk to your mom for you. Wait for me a moment, I'll ask for leave to come out."

Old Chen quickly came out again and took him to find his wife. His heart was pounding. In the past, he wouldn't have worried at all; his wife would have already gone to kill him. But now, things were uncertain.

What if she finds out that he wasted a day's wages by taking leave? I wonder if she'll beat him up too?

Walking on the way to the textile factory, Old Chen thought worriedly that he had acted rashly.

He slowed his pace, realizing he hadn't considered things carefully enough.

But, since we're already here and have already taken leave,

Old Chen was thinking about what to say to Old Lady Xia when he saw her, when suddenly he stopped.

"Dad, what's wrong? Did you forget something? I'll come back with you to get it later. Wenying is still in the hospital, it's urgent." Chen Xiangdong was really worried. His son Baoyuan was also in the hospital, he had cried all night yesterday, and his wife was also in the hospital, she was not feeling well. His vicious mother-in-law was watching him closely, he was really worried.

Old Chen suddenly stretched out his hand, "Boss, give me the money."

Chen Xiangdong stared blankly at his father's rough hands. "What?"

Old Chen: "Give me the money. I took a day off today because of you and my pay was deducted. You need to make up for it, or I'm afraid your mother will slap me."

Chen Xiangdong: "Dad, are you going to hold this against me?"

Old Chen looked dejected. "If you don't give it to me, then I'm going back to work. I don't want to argue with you, but what if your mother argues with me? I'll be the one who gets beaten up."

He said with a hint of resentment, "You won't know the pain until you're slapped in the face."
