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

Zhang Wenying didn't have time to listen to the two pouring their hearts out to each other. She leaned her bicycle against the wall, stepped forward, pulled Pan Wenfang away, and slapped Li Wenjun twice.

"You good-for-nothing!"

His brain is full of shit!

The old wounds from the beating hadn't healed yet, but I hid here listening to her cry and pour out her heart, she was practically peeing on me!

If someone sees you, do you still care about your reputation?

Are you dead?

Are you feeling smug about being hugged by a worn-out woman?

Your father is in the hospital and you don't care, but you're here flirting with Pan Wenfang.

Li Wenjun, do you really enjoy being cuckolded?

Okay, I'll buy you ten tomorrow, you can wear a different one every day!

Li Wenjun was so dazed by the two slaps that he covered his face and dared not utter a sound.

Pan Wenfang was so frightened that she took two steps back, tears welling up in her eyes but not falling.

"You son of a bitch, if you want to be a green-haired turtle, don't come and mess with my daughter."

It's not like my daughter gave that old man expired pills.

When something goes wrong, instead of finding the culprits to settle accounts, you're just thinking of bad ideas to make my daughter take the blame for you!

"You brainless idiot! I think you've been sold out and you're even helping them count the money!"

Zhang Wenying became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and pointed at Pan Wenfang's nose and cursed, "Shameless thing! You were the one who looked down on the poor and loved the rich and insisted on climbing the social ladder. Now that you've been dumped, you're coming back to Wenjun to take over."

Do you think my Wenjun is a junk collector?

They even said that I was the one who interfered with your marriage in the first place.

If you liked Li Wenjun so much, why didn't you get a marriage certificate with him back then?

Why did you flirt with other men while you were dating him?

Why did you still go to see Wang Dabao the night before the wedding? Do you think I didn't know?

You and Wang Dabao have known each other for a long time; you didn't get together only after breaking up with my son.

"I haven't even bothered you about taking my son's salary, and you dare to sow discord between him and my son!"

Pan Wenfang is now genuinely a little afraid of Zhang Wenying.

"Auntie, I didn't..."

"I just... I like Wenjun so much that's why I came to find him..."

"Just because you like someone doesn't mean you can interfere in other people's relationships. Just because you like someone doesn't mean you can throw dirty water on me?"

Zhang Wenying grew angrier as she spoke, and raised her hand to slap Pan Wenfang. The sharp sound echoed in the empty alley, startling the sparrows on the wall into fluttering flight.

Pan Wenfang covered her face, looking at Zhang Wenying in disbelief. Tears streamed down her face. She turned to look at Li Wenjun, gasping for breath in grievance.

Seeing his beloved being beaten, Li Wenjun opened his mouth to protect her, but when he met Zhang Wenying's fiery eyes, the words he was about to say were swallowed back. After a long while, he could only stammer, "Mom, please don't hit her, let's talk this out..."

Besides, he didn't even know that his father was hospitalized because of an expired tablet of aminopyrine.

My brother and sister-in-law are really something. They did something wrong, but they kept it a secret from everyone and wanted him to contribute money and effort as well.

Why should I?

They created this mess, so they should deal with it themselves. He didn't want to go to the hospital to take care of people.

If he had known that this was caused by them, he would have immediately run far away instead of foolishly rushing to the hospital, and he wouldn't have asked Xiaomei to take leave to take care of her father.

"Speak properly? What's the point of talking to such a shameless person!"

Zhang Wenying shoved Li Wenjun, who was blocking her way, and pointed at Pan Wenfang's nose, cursing, "I'm telling you right now, you can only enter my house if I'm dead!"

"Get out of here! If you keep bothering my son, I'll expose everything you've done to the whole neighborhood and let everyone see what kind of person you are!"

Pan Wenfang's face turned red and white as she was scolded. She covered her face and ran away crying.

Zhang Wenying turned around, panting, and saw Li Wenjun still standing there dejected. She was furious: "What? You feel sorry for her because I scolded her?"

Let me tell you, this woman is a troublemaker. She can dump you for a rich man today, and she can dump you a second time for an even richer man tomorrow.

If you dare to have an ambiguous relationship with her, I'll pretend I never had a son like you!

"Mom, I didn't..." Li Wenjun lowered his head and kicked a small pebble at his feet, his voice low and hoarse, "I just... I just felt sorry for her and my heart softened."

"Pitiful? When she was having fun with other people with your money, did she never think she would be pitiful today?"

Your father is lying in the hospital waiting to pay the bill, but you gave the money to someone who didn't want to do it!

Is your dad more important or her?

Zhang Wenying pointed in the direction of the hospital, exasperated: "Let me tell you, quickly put away your crooked thoughts. Li Jianguo is lying in the hospital now. As his son, you should go to the hospital and stay there. Go talk to He Caifeng and Li Wenhai if you need to, and settle accounts with Li Wenhai if you need to. Don't get all tangled up with this jinx and not know what's important!"

After being scolded by his mother, Li Wenjun finally snapped out of his daze and dejectedly agreed.

His feelings toward Pan Wenfang are very complicated right now.

He hated her for her heartlessness back then, but he couldn't help feeling sorry for her disheveled state.

But I just can't let her go.

Seeing her cry made his heart clench, as if something was gripping it tightly.

As for Li Wenhai, he will definitely go to the hospital to have a word with him.

"Mom, don't be angry. I'll go to the hospital after get off work."

Also... Pan Wenfang is very pitiful now. If you see her in the future, don't speak so harshly to her.

"I didn't marry her, why are you so agitated?"

After saying that, Li Wenjun ran away in a flash.

If he doesn't run away now, he won't be able to withstand his mother's wrath.

Watching his retreating figure, Zhang Wenying let out a long sigh, rubbed her throbbing temples, and rode her bicycle towards the braised meat shop... She hadn't been at the shop all morning, and she was afraid there would be a ton of work to be done.

Just as he finished his work, Song Dazhu arrived.

Zhang Wenying now feels a hundred times disgusted when she sees him.

With Liu Wendong as a shining example, Zhang Wenying now finds Song Dazhu utterly displeasing.

He was short, dark-skinned, and had shifty eyes; he didn't look like a decent person at all.

As the old saying goes, if a person doesn't grow tall, they'll grow cunning.

Although this statement may not be entirely accurate, Zhang Wenying felt it was perfectly apt when applied to Song Dazhu.

But it's up to the daughter to make her own decisions about her affairs; as her mother, she shouldn't interfere too much.

People already say they're nosy, and if I interfere further, even my daughter might complain.

Zhang Wenying was busy with her own things and didn't pay attention to Song Dazhu, only telling the old lady to keep an eye on the commotion over there.

When Li Xiaojuan saw Song Dazhu, her expression remained indifferent.

I used to think this person was honest, but now I see that honesty has a vulgar and unrealistic feel to it.

Perhaps his honesty is just an act.
