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

No...that's not how it is.

Li Wenhai's face turned bright red, and he wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

He's a college student, and his mother's actions are utterly disrespectful.

"Alright, stop arguing."

Li Jianguo finally mustered up his strength and propped himself up halfway from the hospital bed, his voice hoarse but carrying an undeniable authority.

"Zhang Wenying, it was my idea to have Xiaomei take leave to serve me, it has nothing to do with the children."

What, can't I, as a father, even order my own daughter around?

Those two short sentences seemed to have drained all of Li Jianguo's strength, and his throat was also very sore.

He couldn't bear to see his son suffer in the hospital, so he wanted his daughter to take care of him. What's wrong?

Is a little girl more precious than two sons?

Besides, what's wrong with a daughter serving her father?

The sons all have jobs. It's not that they don't want to take care of him, but rather that the sons are busy with work. It's only natural for the daughter to take a few days off to take care of her father. How come she's considered a menace in your mouths?

"It's only natural? I think you're senile!"

Zhang Wenying took a step forward, stood by the hospital bed, and looked down at Li Jianguo. "Your two sons are busy with work, but my daughter isn't busy with school."

She's about to take her college entrance exams. Missing even one day of her studies can ruin her whole life. How can you, as her father, have the nerve to ask her to take time off work to take care of you?

When you were handing over all your money to that old woman, why didn't you think about having a daughter?

Now that they need someone to wait on them, they remember her? There's no such thing as a free lunch!

Li Jianguo's face turned red from her retort, and he coughed so hard he couldn't catch his breath for a long time: "I...I raised her all these years, and she..."

"You raised her, ask yourself, how many years have you raised her?"

I have taken care of all her needs from childhood to adulthood, including her three sons, Li Wenhai.

Xiaomei and Xiaojuan have been helping with laundry and cooking since they were old enough to understand; they've long since repaid your kindness in raising them!

Zhang Wenying's voice was as cold as ice, "I'm telling you this now, if you want my daughter to serve you, you're not getting a chance."

You three, father and sons, got into this mess yourselves, so you have to take responsibility for it yourselves. Nobody should even think about taking my daughter.

What about Li Wenhai and He Caifeng?

Isn't she quite good at organizing things?

Why are you hiding now? And you, Li Wenjun, you promised to settle accounts, why have you backed away now?

When Li Wenjun was called out by name, he stammered, "My sister-in-law said she can't leave home, she'll come again tonight..."

"Can't she leave? Her father-in-law is in the hospital, and she's holed up at home, refusing to come out. What, is she that afraid of seeing people?"

Zhang Wenying scoffed, "I think she's just making it clear that she doesn't want to spend any money or effort, and is just waiting for us to lose our patience and hand over the money. No way!"

From today onwards, the three of you will stay here and guard the place. Pay your dues and serve the guests as required. No one is allowed to leave.

If I find out anyone dares to secretly call Xiaojuan over again, I won't let them get away with it.

Li Jianguo was so angry that his face turned red when he saw that Zhang Wenying didn't care about him at all and even threw a tantrum at the hospital.

"Zhang Wenying...you old shrew..."

"Shut up, you old codger."

Don't you love your two sons the most?

They live well and eat well, so you'd be happy no matter what.

What, now that you're sick and need someone to take care of you, you can't bear to let them suffer?

"You...you're just making excuses...both the eldest and the second eldest need to work..."

"Pshaw, even the hospital's trash cans can't hold as much as you."

Don't you feel guilty saying that?

Is it because you don't want them to serve you?

That's because your two eldest sons simply don't want to serve you!

Don't you realize your own limitations?

If they were truly filial, would they need you here making excuses for them?

Your good daughter-in-law has gone to the school to look for my little daughter.

Her goal wasn't to get Xiaomei to take leave, but to get her to drop out of school!

What is the purpose of dropping out of school?

You just want her to come home and be a free nanny, to serve you, your son, and your grandson!

Do you think I can't see through her little scheme?

Mentioning this, Zhang Wenying trembled with anger, her voice rising several decibels: "I know better than anyone what He Caifeng is up to."

The reason she dared to do this was because you guys were backing her up.

Do you really think I, Zhang Wenying, am easy to bully? Do you really think my daughter is a servant girl in your Li family?

Let me tell you, Xiaomei and Xiaojuan were raised by me, and we have had no relationship since the day I divorced Li Jianguo.

From now on, the affairs of your Li family have absolutely nothing to do with us, my two daughters and me.

I'm telling you this now: anyone who dares to lay a finger on my daughter again, I'll chop you up!

Li Jianguo was struck on the spot, his lips trembled and he couldn't speak, only staring at Zhang Wenying with his cloudy eyes.

Li Wenhai's heart tightened.

"Mom, did you go to see He Caifeng?" Li Wenhai's voice trembled slightly; he hadn't expected things to escalate to this point.

Isn't it just asking Xiaojuan to take care of the family?

What is Mom trying to do?

"I've looked for it, how did I find it?"

He Caifeng spewed filth, not only trying to forcibly take Xiaomei away from the school, but also spreading rumors about Xiaomei, saying that she was immoral at school and seduced male classmates.

They even said I was always being improper, that I was like a crooked beam supporting a crooked tree.

"Her mouth stinks so badly, I'm only being kind by not beating her to death."

"mom!"

Li Wenhai stamped his feet in frustration and said in a low voice, "Why are you arguing with her? You know what kind of person she is, she can't keep her mouth shut."

You went to the factory and caused trouble, even hitting her. How is she supposed to hold her head up at work after that?

"She can't even lift her head?" Zhang Wenying sneered, her gaze piercing Li Wenhai like a knife.

"When He Caifeng went to the school to make a scene, why didn't she think about making Xiaomei feel ashamed at school?"

She, as the sister-in-law, went to the school to ruin her sister-in-law's reputation, saying that my daughter was unfilial and immoral. Wasn't she afraid of losing face?

Aren't you afraid that Xiaomei might do something rash because of those rumors?

He Caifeng's mouth is her mouth, but my daughter's innocence is not?

You come back and, without even asking what happened, immediately speak up for your wife. Do you even respect me as your mother?

"Do you still have a sister?"

"Mom... she was just saying that in anger, but if you go to her workplace and cause trouble and even hit someone, then you are wrong."

She's still your daughter-in-law, no matter what. If you make her lose face at work, how will she work in the future? How will she face people?

You...you are simply unreasonable!

"Yes, you are the most reasonable, your whole family is the most reasonable."

You don't want to serve your father who you've brought down, so you try to scheme to make my daughter work like a slave for you. You're the most unreasonable people out there.

"You members of the Li family are all as cunning as monkeys; you're even more ruthless when it comes to scheming against your own family than against outsiders."

Zhang Wenying's eyes were full of disdain, making Li Wenhai and Li Wenjun unable to lift their heads.
