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

Chapter 211

Behind Grandma Xia followed Old Chen, whose face was scratched, and his two sons carrying sweet potatoes.

Aunt Wang has been looking radiant lately, and she was strolling around the courtyard in the evening when she happened to run into this family.

With a gossipy look on her face, a story immediately came to mind.

Old Chen, with scratches on his face, got into trouble outside and was caught by Old Lady Xia. After the couple had a fight, Old Lady Xia demanded compensation from someone else... sweet potatoes?

That's a bit far-fetched; it shouldn't be like that.

"Sister Xia, it's so late... what are you doing?"

Grandma Xia had a headache. She glanced at Chen Xiangnan, who immediately understood and went up to chat with Aunt Wang. "Auntie, my third son was bullied. We're going to seek justice."

"Oh, I see. That's good. It's best when the whole family works together."

"Auntie, your family is very united too." Chen Xiangnan smiled as he looked at the father and son whispering to each other in front of Grandma Wang's house.

"If we had a daughter-in-law, we would work together even more closely."

Uncle Wang was whispering to his son from behind.

When are you planning to tell your mother the truth?

Wang Dahai asked in horror, "What confession?"

Uncle Wang: "Tsk, you can hide it from your mother but you can't hide it from me. You were born of a mother and raised by a father, so I know what kind of fart you're going to let out the moment you lift your butt."

"You've been with that girl for several years, haven't you? I've also inquired about her."

Wang Dahai was terrified. "I don't know anything."

"You don't know anything yet. When the girl comes to propose marriage with a matchmaker, you can go down and keep your grandfather company in advance."

Wang Dahai felt so pathetic. "Dad!"

“If I hadn’t cleaned up your mess these past few years, do you think you could have kept it from your mother? You’d better tell me the truth so I can help you think of a solution.”

Uncle Wang felt that as the linchpin of easing tensions in the family, he had to get all the information in advance. As the man behind Wang Meihua, he had to work hard to maintain family harmony.

Wang Dahai had no choice but to tell Mu Chudan his and his father's plans one by one. After he finished speaking, he saw his father suddenly become serious. It seemed that this matter would not be easy to handle.

"You know, your mother would never agree to you becoming live-in sons-in-law like me."

Wang Dahai: "I know, so what should I do, Dad!"

Uncle Wang: "But what's wrong with being a live-in son-in-law? Your mother earns money outside, and I take care of the housework at home. Aren't we a happy family? I don't know what your mother is upset about. Does she look down on me?"

Wang Dahai: "Dad, stop talking nonsense and help me think of something first."

Uncle Wang: "You're such a hasty child. I need to analyze why your mother is so resistant to a son-in-law who lives with her family before I can offer her the right advice."

Wang Dahai: "It's probably because of you. You've become so unreliable since you became a live-in son-in-law."

Uncle Wang pondered.

On the other side, Grandma Xia and her family returned home. The atmosphere was extremely quiet. Chen Xiangbei didn't even dare to put the sweet potatoes he was still carrying on his shoulder down. He just kept his head down.

Grandma Xia sat on the stool and asked, "Third son, when did you start stealing?"

Chen Xiangbei suddenly looked up. "Second brother, you said you wouldn't tell Mom. You lied to me?"

Chen Xiangnan: "In that situation, if I didn't tell the truth..."

Chen Xiangbei: "You said you would find a way, and the way you came up with is to lie to me?"

Chen Xiangnan: "I can only get my mother to reconcile if I tell the truth. Otherwise, as you said, they might drag you down with them."

Chen Xiangbei: "You...you untrustworthy person, I will never trust you again, I'm breaking off all ties with you!"

Grandma Xia: "What, do you think I'm an unreasonable person? You all make it sound like I'm difficult to deal with. What do you mean by telling the truth before I'm willing to reconcile?"

Chen Xiangnan immediately ignored his third son and gave an awkward laugh, "Mom, that's not what I meant. I misspoke."

Chen Xiangbei threw the sweet potato on the ground. "You're the family, and I'm the outsider, okay? Yes, I stole something, so what? You won't give me pocket money, but you won't let me figure out how to make a living on my own?"
