Reborn as an 80s-aged woman, her unfilial son begs for forgiveness on his knees.

"Comrade Zhang, the old commander has been investigating the events of that year for the past two days."

"Don't worry, in the old man's heart, there are only his own flesh and blood; he won't let unrelated people take his place."

Upon seeing Zhang Wenying, Shen Mingyuan quickly offered a brief explanation.

The old chief finally found his own flesh and blood, and we must not let any misunderstanding cause a bad relationship.

Zhang Wenying's smile faltered slightly, but then returned to normal.

"Thank you for making the special trip to tell me this news."

She spoke softly, her tone tinged with gratitude and a sense of relief.

"I know he has had a tough time all these years."

My brother and I never thought about marrying into a higher social class; we only wanted to be able to be recognized as part of our ancestors with dignity, so that our father would know that we siblings were still alive. That was enough.

Shen Mingyuan looked at Zhang Wenying, who had a calm expression, and nodded inwardly.

This Comrade Zhang is indeed different from those who curry favor with the powerful.

If others knew that her father was a former high-ranking official, they would probably be too excited to sit still, but she was able to maintain this composure, which is truly rare.

However, the fact that he can live a prosperous life without relying on the old general makes him even more admirable.

"The old general has been in much better spirits these past few days."

I come here every day to pick up my meals, also to see you on his behalf.

Shen Mingyuan was also very happy for the old general.

After searching for his children for decades, he finally found them, and the old man can finally sleep peacefully.

"Thank you, Comrade Shen."

I'm busy every day and don't have time to visit him.

Please pass on a message to him: tell him to take care of himself. Once I'm less busy these days, I'll bring my brother to visit him.

"I will definitely bring it."

Shen Mingyuan stood up and nodded solemnly.

"Then I won't disturb your business any longer. I'll come back to pick up my food tomorrow."

Shen Mingyuan didn't linger; he picked up the food and drove away.

Li Jianguo was so angry that he was trembling all over, and his teeth were grinding together.

He stared intently at Zhang Wenying's retreating figure as she saw Shen Mingyuan off and turned back to the shop, his mind churning with turmoil.

Could this be Zhang Wenying's new lover?

How dare she!

Li Jianguo grew angrier the more he thought about it, and suddenly rushed out from the corner of the wall, taking a few steps to the shop entrance.

"Dad, what brings you here?"

When Li Xiaojuan saw Li Jianguo standing at the door with a livid face, she was startled and quickly put down the rag in her hand to go to him.

Li Jianguo glared fiercely at Zhang Wenying.

When did this old woman become so beautiful?

In his memory, Zhang Wenying was a haggard old woman who spent all her time around the stove and couldn't even afford to buy a decent piece of clothing.

But the woman standing in front of him now was wearing a clean and neat floral shirt, her hair was combed meticulously, and she had a calm smile on her face. She exuded an indescribable vitality.

The two daughters, who used to be covered in dirt and grime, are now clean and well-dressed, clearly living a good life.

Whether it was Zhang Wenying or her two daughters, they all looked somewhat unrecognizable to him.

He clenched his fists and roared in a hoarse voice, "Zhang Wenying, you...you really have some skills!"

You really did cheat on me with another man, and a richer one at that!

That man drives a car, so he's definitely richer than him!

Moreover, Zhang Wenying also had money.

If she didn't have money, how could she possibly dress herself and her two daughters up so glamorously?

The clothes worn by the three of them, and even his mother, were clearly not cheap.

It seems my daughter-in-law was right; she's been cuckolded by you, her husband.

Otherwise, why would this old woman have so resolutely divorced me?

According to his judgment, Zhang Wenying had already found someone else, which gave her the confidence to cause trouble for him and even abandon her son.

Li Jianguo felt like he was being cuckolded, and he was so angry that he wanted to rush up and tear Zhang Wenying apart.

Zhang Wenying looked at Li Jianguo with a detached gaze, as if she were looking at a clown.

"Li Jianguo, watch your mouth."

Zhang Wenying's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable chill.

This idiot, could it be that he was bitten by a zombie and mutated?

She's been obsessed with reading novels on her phone lately. The zombies in them become stupid and crazy after biting people, just like her ex-husband in front of her.

Zhang Wenying didn't want to pay attention to this mad dog and turned to get busy.

Li Jianguo grabbed her arm with such force that he almost pulled her down.

"What are you doing? Let go!"

Zhang Wenying frowned, forcefully shook off his hand, took two steps back, and her gaze was as cold as ice.

"Li Jianguo, we're divorced. What right do you have to tell me what to do?"

Li Jianguo raised his head, his eyes slightly red.

"Zhang Wenying, you are utterly shameless!"

Zhang Wenying was so angry she almost laughed.

"Li Jianguo, don't force me to slap you in front of a lot of people."

When he got involved with Ma Hongping, did he ever think about having any shame?

Now they're saying she's shameless? That's a huge joke.

You slut!

Behind my back, you're flirting and exchanging glances with other men. Do you think I'm dead?!

Zhang Wenying narrowed her eyes and slapped Li Jianguo across the face.

The crisp sound stunned several neighbors who were watching the commotion.

"If you're going to act crazy, go back home and do it there. Don't embarrass yourself here."

That's giving him too much credit; she'd even find it dirty to hit him.

Li Jianguo covered his face, froze for two seconds, then jumped up like a lit firecracker, pointing at Zhang Wenying's nose and cursing: "You, you dare to hit me!"

You did something shameless, and you still dared to hit someone!

"dad!"

Li Xiaojuan threw down the rag in her hand, rushed over, stood in front of Zhang Wenying, and glared at Li Jianguo: "What right do you have to insult my mother! You were the one who wronged my mother first!"

"Snapped!"

Zhang Wenying pulled her eldest daughter away and then slapped Li Jianguo across the face.

"You old bastard who spews filth, if you dare to say another word against me, I'll make you regret it."

Explain yourself, what shameless thing have I done?

Li Jianguo felt a burning pain in his cheeks. His own daughter was siding with her mother, completely disregarding his well-being. He trembled with rage, pointing at Li Xiaojuan and yelling, "You ungrateful wretch! I've wasted my time raising you!"

He didn't dare hit Zhang Wenying, so he slapped Li Xiaojuan across the face instead.

Li Xiaojuan was hit so hard that she turned her head to the side, and half of her face swelled up instantly. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

She used to be beaten by her father a lot, but she was young then and always felt that it was only natural for her father to discipline her.

But now she's in her mid-twenties, and he still hit her in front of so many people.

This slap not only shattered her face, but also shattered the last vestige of her hope for her father.
