Her words made everyone in the room look rather unpleasant. Old Mrs. Chen shrieked, "Who do you need to support? Have I, this old woman, eaten a single grain of rice or drunk a single drop of water from you? You dare to talk like that before anything has even happened. What will you do when we two old folks can't move anymore?!"

Chen Lao Er's wife, having gone all out, glared at Chen's mother with her tear-reddened eyes and said, "Mom, you can't be so biased! Did I say you were with Dad? I was talking about my eldest brother's family! I've been married into this family for so long, have those two ever cooked a single meal, cleaned the house even once? Have they ever given the family a single penny? Their good son spends thousands of yuan a month on snacks and toys! Is that money earned by my father-in-law alone? Doesn't it involve the hard work of Chen Le?"

The more she talked, the more upset she became, so Chen Lao Er's wife simply vented all her grievances: "They're all your sons, but you can't be this biased! What time does Chen Le get up to work every day? He stands for more than ten hours at a time, and what about my eldest brother? Doesn't he sleep until noon every day, and the kitchen even saves him separate meals? Isn't this just sucking our blood? I'm going to make it clear today, I, Xu Fangfang, am not some unwanted, destitute person!"

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Chen Lao Er: "Chen Le, you should also make your stance clear today. Either we separate and live separately, or we get a divorce! I've had enough! Serving my in-laws is one thing, but I've never seen a family have to support their elder brother!"

Chen Yong's face was extremely ugly. No one could remain indifferent when their sister-in-law pointed her finger at them and scolded them like that. However, he was bad with words, and the more agitated he became, the less he could speak. For a moment, he was panting heavily with his nostrils bulging.

He genuinely hadn't considered his sister-in-law's accusations. In his view, what was wrong with living and eating at his own parents' house?

He doesn't have to go to work, so sleeping until he naturally wakes up is a sin.

Besides, he's not idle all day; he's investing, isn't he? When the returns come, he'll naturally share with his parents too.

How did this younger brother and sister-in-law come to believe that the three of them were freeloaders?

His wife remained silent throughout. This woman was quite shrewd. Ever since her mother-in-law came out and slapped her sister-in-law, she had kept quiet. Anyway, she had her son, and for the sake of her only precious grandson, her mother-in-law would always side with her. She wouldn't suffer any loss.

Chen Le, the second son of the Chen family, also looked rather unwell. He was four years younger than Chen Yong. The two brothers had always had a good relationship when they were young, but as they grew up, they became more calculating. Especially after getting married, his wife kept whispering in his ear, and he began to harbor some resentment towards his elder brother's family for not engaging in any productive work in recent years.

Looking at his wife, who was crying her eyes out with snot and a red handprint on her face, he felt a pang of sympathy. After all, they had only been married for two years, and the young couple was still in the honeymoon phase, their relationship still going strong. While feeling sorry for her, he also felt a surge of resentment towards Old Mrs. Chen and his brother's family for hitting her. He reached out to help Xu Fangfang up from the ground and looked at his parents: "Mom and Dad, what do you say?"

Mr. Chen remained silent. It was difficult for him, as the father-in-law, to speak up when his daughters-in-law were having a fight. However, Mrs. Chen shouted in a shrill voice, "What do you mean, 'what do you mean'? Second son's wife, how come your eldest brother is just eating and drinking for free? He has investments outside, how can he have time to manage the household? I, as his grandmother, am willing to buy things for my grandson, and I'm happy no matter how much it costs! This old woman isn't dead yet, it's not your place to be so arrogant, you little slut!"
