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

Zhang Ju is a very nice person.

Even in her past life, Zhang Ju was the person who helped her the most.

She is kind-hearted and honest, and never gets involved in gossip or petty squabbles.

When she was seriously ill, Zhang Ju gave her 500 yuan to buy something delicious.

Whenever she has something to do, Zhang Ju is the one who takes care of it.

Whenever she rode her tricycle past, Zhang Ju would lend a hand and help her push it uphill.

At this moment, Zhang Ju's eyes were red, and she was clutching a handkerchief in her hand, the corner of which was twisted out of shape.

A thought struck her, and she quickly stepped forward to ask, "My dear niece, what's wrong?"

Why are you crying?

When Zhang Ju saw that it was Zhang Wenying, she hurriedly used her handkerchief to wipe away her tears, but the tears just kept falling.

She grabbed Zhang Wenying's hand tightly, her voice trembling, "Auntie, what happened to my husband? He just disappeared!"

There's not a single good person in that Li family.

Actually, Boss Li didn't go missing at all; he eloped with someone.

The Li family disliked Zhang Ju for only having two daughters and no sons, so the eldest son of the Li family started an affair with the widow Zhang from West Street.

By now, Widow Zhang should be pregnant.

Fearing exposure, the Li family had their eldest son pretend to disappear and take Widow Zhang to Shenzhen.

Shenzhen was still under development at the time, with construction sites everywhere. Boss Li and Widow Zhang hid there and eventually became one of the earliest contractors in Shenzhen, making a lot of money. Later, he even took Widow Zhang back to their hometown in glory, bought a house in the city, and lived a very glamorous life.

Zhang Ju, however, stayed in this empty house, raising her two daughters and enduring hardship for half her life.

She worked tirelessly, setting up her vegetable stall from dawn till dusk, braving wind and rain. But her youngest daughter developed a severe fever that wouldn't break, which left her mentally impaired, and she eventually died in a car accident.

The eldest daughter married an abusive man and died young at the age of thirty-two.

Zhang Ju lives alone in the world, with no one to talk to.

She endured a life of widowhood and inner torment, her hair turning white with age, but she never received a word of explanation from Boss Li.

Before Zhang Wenying died, a shocking case occurred in Haishi: Zhang Ju killed Li Laoda with extremely brutal methods, and then committed suicide by poisoning herself, ending her tragic life.

The case caused a huge uproar in the city, and everyone said Zhang Ju had gone mad. But Zhang Wenying knew in her heart that it was a woman's last struggle after being driven to the brink of despair.

Zhang Wenying's heart was in turmoil, and those scenes from her past life flashed through her mind one by one. She held Zhang Ju's cold hand, unable to swallow the anger in her heart.

She saw Zhang Ju's suffering in her past life and felt the pain in her heart.

In this life, she will make sure Zhang Ju never suffers this pain again.

"Auntie, my husband hasn't been home for a long time."

He has returned home only a handful of times in the past year, and each time he does come back, he is always in a hurry and doesn't even want to say a word.

Especially in the last six months, he hasn't given his family a single penny.

He did come back yesterday, and as soon as he got back, he started arguing with me, saying that I didn't take good care of my in-laws, that I was unfilial, and that I didn't give him a son.

I argued with him for a bit, and he slammed the door and left, not coming back all night.

This morning, my in-laws said I made him angry and drove him away, and asked me to go and find him and bring him back.

"If I don't go, my in-laws will beat me, saying I'm a jinx who brings bad luck to her husbands, a hen that can't bear sons."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenying frowned deeply, and a surge of anger welled up inside her.

She patted Zhang Ju's hand.

"Have you gone to his workplace to ask?"

That man was a worker at the city's food factory.

"I asked."

The company leader said that Li Laoda sold his job half a month ago.

His coworkers, who were close to him, said they hadn't seen him in a long time.

Auntie, do you think... what if something happens to him...?

She was so worried.

If she had known, she wouldn't have argued with him.

If something happens to him, how will she and the child survive?

Zhang Wenying's heart sank; it was just as she had imagined.

She lowered her voice and leaned close to Zhang Ju's ear: "Xiao Ju, listen to me, this matter is probably not that simple."

How could a living person just disappear without a trace?

After Li Laoda disappeared, Zhang Ju posted missing person notices everywhere to find him, even at train stations and docks, hoping to find that heartless man and get to the bottom of things.

But in the vast sea of ​​people, it was as if Boss Li had vanished into thin air, leaving not even a trace.

Twenty years later, however, that man appeared on television with another woman.

It was then that Zhang Ju realized that decades of hard work had all been a joke.

She served her parents-in-law until their deaths, toiling away her entire life, only to have her two daughters die tragically one after another, all because no one was willing to lend her a hand.

So when Widow Zhang brought Boss Li to her to show off, Zhang Ju grabbed a kitchen knife and chopped the adulterous couple to death.

And she ended her tragic life with a packet of rat poison.

In her past life, Zhang Ju was a nationally notorious murderer, a vicious woman despised by all.

Only Zhang Wenying knew that she wasn't.

That was a counterattack after despairing of life, a final indictment against fate.

In this life, she is determined to help Zhang Ju find out the truth and free her from the tragic fate of her previous life.

Don't cry.

"Come on, I'll take you to the police station and let the authorities look for it."

She couldn't tell Zhang Ju that her man had run off with another woman. She could only calm Zhang Ju down first and then guide her step by step toward the truth.

There are no secrets that stay hidden forever; as long as a person is alive, they will eventually be found.

Moreover, Boss Li will definitely be leaving by train.

Someone must be helping us in secret.

In the 1980s, you needed a letter of introduction to go anywhere.

As long as the police officers investigate, they can find out where he went and where he stayed.

All of these things are clearly stated in the letter of introduction.

"But my in-laws said they couldn't report it to the government and that I had to find it myself."

"Don't you have any opinions of your own?"

"A missing person is a serious matter. If you don't report it to the authorities, and something really happens, can you bear the responsibility alone?"

"Then... will the local police station accept the case?"

Zhang Ju was illiterate, and in her limited understanding, the police station wouldn't handle trivial matters like finding someone, except for major crimes like murder and arson.

After all, her man is a grown man, not an ignorant child.

Moreover, none of the missing children in the neighborhood have been found, so her man is unlikely to be found either.

Moreover, her husband often doesn't come home, but her in-laws say he's missing, which she finds rather baffling.

Whether the police station is in charge or not is not up to you or me; they have to assess the situation to decide.

Zhang Wenying grabbed Zhang Ju's hand and left without warning.

Zhang Wenying, the head of the local police station, knows this area very well and has been coming here quite often lately.
