She wouldn't be stupid enough to do something so obviously harmful.

Most likely, he just wanted to set up a plot and put on a show to curry favor with the two children, but he didn't expect that things would get out of hand by accident.

Chen Jianye didn't expect that Lu Yang's new daughter-in-law could be so eloquent.

With just a few words, such a heart-wrenching thing was whitewashed.

As a person who is used to using his hands instead of his mouth, Chen Jianye was so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to punch Ye Wei's hypocritical crying face.

"Hey, Jianye, you can't hit someone! There are so many people watching. If you hit a woman, it won't make any sense even if you're right."

Being stopped, Chen Jianye put down his fist angrily and pointed at Ye Wei: "Stop pretending to be pitiful here. Have you forgotten how tough you were when you faced me before?"

"Did your family say that Dabao and the others should be sent to an orphanage?"

"You were right there listening, and I didn't see you say a word to stop me. Now you want to ease the situation and take the children back. I wouldn't dare hand them over to you if you dared to think about it."

"Who knows, if I hand these two children over to you today, you might be able to send them to an orphanage tomorrow!"

As soon as he finished speaking, discussions broke out around him.

Ye Wei's expression remained unchanged, she continued to cry miserably: "No, my mother was just saying that out of anger."

"It's because the two children knew I was pregnant, and they couldn't tolerate me anymore. Not only were they constantly scolding me, but they were also constantly swinging their little fists to hit me."

"There were even some who went to my neighbor across the street and clamored for someone else's wife to be their stepmother and squeeze me out."

Ye Wei put on a sad face and said, "My parents happened to be visiting me at my in-laws' house at the time."

"As parents, we feel sorry for our daughters because it's not easy for them to get pregnant. We hope that they can live a good life in their husband's family, or at least not be wronged."

"But I didn't expect to run into Dabao and his friends being disrespectful to me. My mom got so angry that she said a few unpleasant words."

"I'm not quibbling. I'm telling the truth. Dabao and the others have such a capable uncle like you to look after them. How could anyone else send them to an orphanage?"

"That was just a joke, something I said out of anger. My parents were just saying it. They were so angry they almost fainted and didn't even touch the kids."

"On the contrary, you beat my dad up..."

After she explained it this way, things took a turn that made people laugh and cry.

Some people have been completely brainwashed by Ye Wei and feel that Ye Wei, as a stepmother, is a real sucker.

Every time he did something foolish or said something angry, he would run into the hot-tempered Chen family and get taught a lesson by accident.

Looking at it this way, what else could this be but a great injustice?

As a stepmother, she wanted to discipline her disobedient stepchildren, but she was always unlucky enough to run into the Chen family's gunpoint.

After hearing this, the bystanders felt a little sympathetic towards Ye Wei, as she felt it was difficult to be a stepmother.

"Oh, so this is all a misunderstanding, Jianye. Why don't we stop being so stubborn and listen to what others are saying. Don't just assume that a 'stepmother' is a bad person."

"You've always been prejudiced against your brother-in-law's new wife. It's not that you think everything she does is a trick to harm Dabao and the others."

"Yes, look how clearly they've explained it. It's not what you think it is. There's a misunderstanding that's led to this. Let them in and sit down to clear up the misunderstanding."

"Dabao and the others will have a mother to love them in the future, and they won't have to leave their biological father. You won't have to raise two more children. It's a win-win situation. Why are you being so stubborn?" So he's wrong?

He protected his nephew and niece, but in the end, he, the uncle, was the bad guy. He was the one who prevented the children from having a complete family?

This was the first time Chen Jianye felt so powerless.

"No, what do you know? You're just trying to persuade me. You're trying to meddle in my family affairs. Just go away."

"Is it interesting or not? Have you figured out your own family affairs yet you come to my doorstep to give me orders?"

When people are pushed into a corner, they blurt out anything.

Chen Jianye spoke bluntly, which naturally irritated the listeners.

The middle-aged man who had just been called Uncle Guan by Chen Jianye looked gloomy and said, "Jianye, how can you talk like that?"

"Many of us here are elders who have watched you grow up. How can you speak to us like this?"

They have started to use seniority to pressure others. If the Chen family still only sends Chen Jianye out to block the door, it is obvious which side will suffer in terms of reputation.

In the house.

Chen Jianye's mother, Ding Cuilan, finally couldn't sit still anymore.

When she was helped out by her eldest daughter-in-law, everyone could see how bad her face looked.

It wasn't because he was angry with Ye Wei, but it was obvious to the naked eye that his poor health had caused his complexion to look bad.

Ding Cuilan: "Old Guan, it's not like you've only known for a day or two that Jianye can't talk. Why are you being so critical of a junior like that?"

With her appearance, the crowd that had been making a fuss suddenly quieted down.

Although Ding Cuilan looked half-dead and so weak that she looked like she could be blown down by a gust of wind.

But everyone present knew how difficult she was to deal with in her early years. Anyone who lived near the Chen family knew it.

This guy is a ruthless person who can even chop down other people's doors with a knife if he disagrees with them.

This was probably because her daughter's early death had stimulated her. Her health was not as good as before, but no matter how bad it was... Old Hu still had some power, so no one dared to provoke Ding Cuilan in person.

Guan Chang touched his nose and said, "Cui Lan, it's not that I, as an elder, have to make a big deal about your Jianye family."

"You should have heard what Jianye said at home just now. He was just short of pointing his finger at us elders and scolding us for meddling in other people's business."

Ding Cuilan: "Is Jianye wrong?"

Guan Chang: "He's a junior...ah?"

"What? I'm asking you, what's wrong with what my son said just now?" Ding Cuilan had a cold face and a mean look on her face.

"No matter how big the incident today gets, even if she gets a broken head and someone dies, isn't that still our Chen family's business?"

"When the police came, they took our Chen family to the police station for questioning... What does that have to do with you?"

She narrowed her eyes and looked at Ye Wei, who was kneeling on the ground. With a forced smile, she exposed Ye Wei's little trick: "Trying to play pitiful and use this clever talk to gain power over others?"

"Oh, I, Ding Cuilan, am really old. How dare someone so ignorant as to dare to pull such tricks on me?"

Ye Wei's pupils shrank suddenly, and tears flowed down her face like water. "No, I don't mean to use my power to pressure others..."
