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

Chapter 228

Chen Xiangnan returned to Chen Mei's house with a pale face. By then, the battle over there had ended. It was unclear how fierce the fight had been, but everyone had some kind of injury on their face, and even the bride, Chen Xinhe, had been caught in the crossfire.

Chen Xinhe couldn't understand how her wedding, which was supposed to be a joyous occasion, had turned into this mess. Fortunately, the groom's family didn't know about it yet.

It's late now, and her mother is cooking dinner for so many people all by herself in the kitchen. Her father just rode his bicycle to the hospital to try and persuade his aunt to come back.

Even though things have already gotten this bad, in order for her to look presentable on her wedding day tomorrow, all the relatives in the family still need to be present, even if they are injured, to send her off on her wedding day in an orderly fashion.

They were all sitting in the living room, some outside, but the atmosphere was eerily quiet. Only Chen Xiangdong's family ate the snacks they were serving their guests without a care in the world.

Chen Baoyuan was a little hungry; he had just eaten the eggs that Chen Mei had cooked.

They fought several times, and in the end, no one mentioned who should compensate whom. In any case, no one was innocent.

Even Chen Weijun and his wife, licking their missing teeth, could only swallow their anger. Xia Yue'e had just said that if they really wanted compensation, they should make a big scene and get the police involved.

Chen Weijun and Fang Rong were also feeling guilty. They had just beaten Chen Xiangbei so badly that both of his eyes were black and blue, Chen Xianghong's neck was swollen from being choked, and Old Chen's ankle was swollen. Fortunately, no bones were broken.

Grandma Xia's clothes were all torn, but she held her head high and loudly declared that she planned to go out in her tattered clothes the next day, and that she would tell the truth if anyone asked.

Startled, Chen Mei quickly grabbed a needle and thread and squatted down to mend her clothes.

In any case, no one is a winner in this fight.

"Mom, are you alright?" Chen Xiangnan forced a smile, his first words were concern for Old Lady Xia, which made his two mentally challenged sons seem even more foolish.

Fang Rong felt a little bitter. She had gone to great lengths to please Xu Meiyu for her two sons, but when a fight broke out, her two sons just hid in the back, even worse than the relatives who were just watching the show. At least those relatives were trying to break up the fight.

Xia Yue'e, who had always felt unlucky, not only had her eldest brother's help, but her youngest son also joined in the fight, and although her second son disappeared later, he still came to break up the fight. Apart from Chen Xiangdong and his wife, who were not good enough, her other two sons and daughter all helped her.

How did she suddenly become so lucky?

Grandma Xia nodded. "Not bad. Where did you go?"

Chen Xiangnan felt a pang of panic, then smiled and lied, "I originally wanted to call the police, but I realized it wouldn't be a good idea halfway there, since we're all relatives. So, I thought I'd stop by the hospital to get some medicine and also check on my aunt, in case she gets hurt too badly and causes us trouble. Knowing in advance would be better than nothing."

Grandma Xia didn't know whether she believed it or not, but Old Chen believed it anyway. His second son always had his own ideas, and he had handled the Chen Weijun matter very well before, so he said, "Alright, it's cold outside, let's sit down and eat first."

Chen Xiangnan thought to himself, "Luckily, I got away with it."

"Mom, eat some vegetables. You didn't eat much at noon, you must be hungry." Chen Xiangdong acted like a good son at this moment, speaking up when Chen Mei politely urged them to eat.

He even offered to serve food to Grandma Xia.

Fang Rong seemed to have found an opportunity to finally mock her elder brother's family, "Oh dear, where were you when we were outside just now, Xiang Dong?"

Chen Xiangdong didn't seem embarrassed at all. "Second Aunt, what are you saying? I brought my child with me, so of course I have to take good care of the child first. Otherwise, if he gets hurt accidentally, wouldn't my parents be even more worried? But Second Aunt, why didn't I see your Ligang and Liqiang go up to help you?"

Fang Rong gritted her teeth. This damn brat, with such a foul mouth, he's bound to get into trouble sooner or later. "You don't need to worry about my family's affairs. But why did I just hear Bao Yuan calling you Mom, Dad, Grandpa, and Grandma?"

Chen Xiangdong: "That's none of your business, Auntie. You should sort out your own family's affairs before you meddle in mine. Oh, I see. Ligang and Liqiang are just like my Baoyuan, weren't they scared and crying just now?"

The two brothers, Chen Ligang and Chen Liqiang, were indeed afraid of hurting themselves, but they couldn't bear to lose face after the matter was brought up so openly. Their faces immediately turned red, and Chen Ligang retorted, "I heard that my eldest cousin separated from my aunt? It seems he married into the Zhu family?"

Chen Weijun immediately shouted, "How did we split up? Such a big thing, and our eldest brother didn't even tell us? Does he not consider us brothers anymore?"

"Xiangdong is the eldest child of our generation. How can we just separate the family like this?"

Chen Mei, standing to the side, was also somewhat agitated. "Wouldn't Bao Yuan be a child of the Zhu family from now on? How will we face people if word gets out?"

Chen Weijun: "Sister-in-law, was this your idea? I don't believe that my brother doesn't even want his eldest grandson."

Grandma Xia had just ladled herself a bowl of soup and was about to drink it when she was stumped by Chen Weijun's question.

It was indeed her idea, so what?

"Second brother, it wasn't my idea, so what? Even if it was, what are you going to do to me?"

Chen Weijun said righteously, "If it wasn't your idea, I would naturally ask my elder brother what he thought. But if it was your idea, sister-in-law, then I would ask you, along with my brothers and sisters, why you wanted to kick our Chen family's children out."

“If my sister-in-law can’t give a good reason, we will have to advise my brother to divorce you. Our family absolutely cannot have a troublemaker like you.”

Grandma Xia took a sip of her soup and turned to ask Old Chen, "Are you going to listen to them and divorce me?"

Old Chen was about to say "no" when Chen Xiangdong spoke up, "Second Uncle, this is my family's business, what does it have to do with you? If you're really bored, go get your teeth fixed. If people call you a cleft lip, I, as your nephew, will lose face."

This guy is really meddling in other people's business. He and Zhu Wenying are now living their own little life behind closed doors, and they couldn't be happier.

Without the supervision of their parents, and with a room in the house allocated to them, and with only Baoyuan as their child, and both of them being workers, they lived a comfortable life, eating whatever they wanted, and sometimes even teasing Old Zhu and his family, arguing with them.

Although they no longer receive subsidies from their elders, they not only have enough money but also savings, and the family of three lives comfortably. Their desire to go back home has also diminished considerably.

Chen Weimin licked the hole in his tooth again. He was clearly helping them, so why didn't this brat know how to be grateful? He really was Xia Yue'e's son, born to be against them.
