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

"Scream, scream, scream! What are you yelling for!"

Zhang Wenying showed no sign of stopping, continuing to hit and curse as she went: "I'll teach you to talk nonsense! I'll teach you to slander people!"

I have no shame, but you, He Caifeng, have a shame?

Your skin is probably thicker than a city wall at a bend!

Why is that old geezer Li Jianguo in the hospital?

Wasn't it because I took the expired pills you gave me that I got in?

Why did you send him expired medicine? Isn't it because you think his illness is a burden and that it will affect your promotions and raises at work? That's why you didn't care whether he lived or died, and it almost cost him his life.

You've caused so much trouble, and you're already complaining about how tiring and troublesome it is, yet you want my daughter to drop out of school to serve that old man and your whole family.

I, Zhang Wenying, have worked so hard to raise my son, help him get married and have children, and have served you all for more than three years.

You can't see how hard I work; instead, you think that whatever I do is my duty.

Li Jianguo is supporting you with his salary, so you should be by his bedside to fulfill your filial duties, instead of pushing your sins and responsibilities onto a minor.

Do you think I don't know what you and Li Wenhai are up to?

You just want my daughter to drop out of school so you can save on tuition and have her come home as a free nanny to take care of your whole family, right?

Is Li Jianguo my daughter's only father?

Is the son you gave birth to my daughter's responsibility?

"You want to use my daughter as a free babysitter? Did you get my permission?"

Zhang Wenying grew angrier as she spoke, increasing the force of her blows until He Caifeng cried out in pain, her pleas for mercy becoming broken and incoherent.

She felt a sharp pain in her scalp, as if her entire scalp was about to be ripped off.

My cheeks hurt terribly, burning like they've been scrubbed with sandpaper.

"No matter what, Xiaomei is still Dad's daughter, and she should do her duty to show filial piety!"

He Caifeng finally caught her breath and shouted those words at the top of her lungs.

She felt so embarrassed and ashamed.

Her mother had never hit her like this in front of others before.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenying let out a cold laugh.

"In Li Jianguo's eyes, the one he values ​​most is his eldest son."

Li Jianguo has never seen my two daughters, never held them, and never spent a single penny on them since they were little.

Now that he's old and sick, he's suddenly remembered that he still has two daughters?

There's no such thing as a free lunch!

He's sick, so it's his sons and this daughter-in-law we paid to marry into the family who should take care of him.

I've already divorced Li Jianguo, and my daughter is now registered under my household registration. She's no longer part of your family.

Even if Li Jianguo is paralyzed in bed, it's not my daughter's place to take care of him.

How dare you go to the school to handle my daughter's withdrawal procedures, spread rumors about her, and morally blackmail her?

I've really given you too much credit, making you forget who you are!

I'm making this clear today: no one is allowed to touch Xiaomei's studies.

"If you dare to cause trouble at the school again, I'll expose all your dirty deeds and let the whole neighborhood see how your family bullies people!"

These words were well-reasoned and supported by evidence. After hearing them, the way the colleagues in the finance office looked at He Caifeng changed. The few female colleagues who had been gossiping with her earlier looked embarrassed and quietly took two steps back, distancing themselves from He Caifeng.

They really didn't know there were so many twists and turns involved; they just thought Zhang Wenying was unreasonable and domineering, and that Li Xiaomei was truly immoral.

Now, after hearing Zhang Wenying's words, I finally understand that He Caifeng's family is truly unreasonable. They sit in the office all day, wasting time, while making a schoolchild go to the hospital to take care of people.

Besides, who would give expired pills to their elders?

Isn't that just ridiculous?

Putting everything else aside, there are several adults in their family, so it's really unreasonable to expect a child to serve them.

And where is this woman dressed up in a flamboyant way?

So what if the clothes are a little cleaner and the face is a little whiter? How is that not proper?

He Caifeng was both angry and anxious, her face turning red. She struggled to argue back, but Zhang Wenying grabbed her hair and pressed her down on the table. She could barely lift her head and could only let out a muffled wail.

"I'm laying my words on the table today. If you ever dare to make up any more bad things about me or my daughter, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Do you know how serious the consequences were for Xiaomei when you went to the school gate and spread rumors?

Her classmates pointed and whispered about her, and many of them ganged up on her and bullied her.

My daughter is the top scorer in the city's high school entrance exam this year. You're not just morally blackmailing her, you're ruining her future and forcing her to die!

Before, I always gave the best things to your family first. Now that I have money, what's wrong with buying my daughter a few clothes?

What's wrong with me giving my daughter a good life with my own hands?

I don't steal or rob; I'm just responding to the country's call to be self-sufficient. What's wrong with that?

"I'm divorced. I don't want to be with Li Jianguo anymore. So what?"

As Zhang Wenying spoke, she raised her hand and slapped He Caifeng twice more. The crisp sound of the slaps was particularly clear in the quiet office.

Hearing the commotion, the head of the finance department came out from the inner room. Seeing the situation, he quickly called over two men to break up the fight. It took several people a lot of effort to finally pull Zhang Wenying, who was holding He Caifeng's hair, away.

Zhang Wenying dusted off the corner of her clothes, stood up straight, and glanced at everyone in the office. Her voice was clear and bright: "It was wrong of me to hit someone today, but I have to make it clear that I am not being unreasonable. It was He Caifeng who went outside and spread rumors, ruining my daughter's reputation. No mother could tolerate that."

Everything I just said is true. If you don't believe me, go ask around, or even go to the hospital and ask Li Jianguo herself if her husband, Li Wenhai, delivered the expired pills.

He Caifeng finally managed to get up, her hair a mess like a bird's nest, half of her face swollen, and blood seeping from the corner of her mouth. She cried and shouted for the section chief to judge her and for the police to arrest Zhang Wenying.

Zhang Wenying sneered: "Go ahead and call the police. Let the police officers judge this and see how you should be punished for maliciously defaming a minor and damaging someone's reputation."

I'm telling you this now: if you dare cause my daughter even the slightest trouble, I'll fight you to the death. We'd all be in deep trouble.

He Caifeng was helped to a chair by her colleagues. She covered her face and sobbed, muttering curses under her breath, but dared not shout loudly again.

The head of the finance department sighed and criticized, "Comrade He Caifeng, this is a workplace, not a place for you to spread rumors."

And you lot, just parroting what others say, believing everything you hear, spreading baseless rumors as if they were true, what kind of talk is that!

Everyone, disperse and go do whatever you were doing.

The crowd dispersed awkwardly, leaving only He Caifeng's suppressed sobs and Zhang Wenying's slamming of the table in the office.
