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

"Mom, you can't say that."

The three of us only thought of having Xiaomei come and take care of us for a couple of days because it was difficult for us to take leave. None of us intended for her to drop out of school and take care of the whole family.

Besides, haven't I been taking care of my dad at the hospital these past two days?

Li Wenhai felt extremely wronged.

How could his mother do this?

He paid for it, he took care of his father, what more does his mother want?

He even went to cause trouble for Caifeng. What happened to her?!

"Don't give me that excuse about not being able to ask for leave."

With your level of skill, your unit has already transferred you to the logistics department.

Who can't handle the work of the logistics department?

Instead of focusing on your work, you're always trying to shirk your duties. Bosses aren't blind; don't think you're superior just because you're a college graduate.

Li Wenhai; "..."

How did Mom find out about this?

He'd only been transferred to the logistics department for less than a week, but his mother was already well-informed!

"Mom, that's all temporary."

Old Sun from our logistics department retired last week, and the leader asked me to go and help out for a couple of days.

I'm not superior to anyone, but I'm a key technical member of the company, and the leadership wouldn't overlook me.

Li Wenhai's expression changed, and his voice became weak.

He had many complaints about his work unit leaders because of his trip abroad, and he was also somewhat passive in his work.

The leader had long disliked him. This job transfer was ostensibly to help him, but in reality, it was just to remove him from his technical position so that he wouldn't have to see him anymore.

"No matter how I know, just don't try to take advantage of my daughter again."

None of you are any of you. If you have any family matters to attend to, no leader will make things difficult for you or refuse to grant you leave.

Stop making excuses about how important your work is. Do you think I don't know what you're really thinking?

Li Wenhai, you stayed in the hospital for two days. Was that voluntary?

No, you don't want to at all.

But Li Wenjun didn't care. Xiaomei didn't want to come, so you had no choice but to stay here with Li Jianguo.

You're probably cursing me in your heart, but you don't dare say it because you know that if you dare to quit and leave, no one will take care of your dad's mess, and people will talk behind your back.

I understand your grievances better than anyone else.

You resent me, you resent your father, you resent your brothers, but you never dare to resent yourself.

As Li Wenhai's mother, Zhang Wenying knew all too well what kind of people her sons were.

Li Wenhai's face flushed red, but he couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

Zhang Wenying was right. He did resent it. He resented his father for neglecting the family when he was young, his brothers for running away when things went wrong, and his mother for being so improper, still trying to get a divorce at her advanced age. She even kicked them out and made them go back to the old house to live with his father.

If he doesn't come back, even if his father dies, it's none of his business.

But if he dared to disregard his father while living under the same roof, he would be drowned in spittle.

He's a man who cares a lot about his reputation; even if he hates someone, there are some things he can't avoid doing.

Li Jianguo lay on the bed with his eyes half-closed, his stomach rumbling loudly.

He was hungry.

When Zhang Wenying was around, when did he ever go hungry?

He also knew that Zhang Wenying was right.

Let's not even talk about the third son; neither of his two sons wanted to take care of him.

I suspect that in their hearts, they...would rather die of illness or starvation.

"And Li Jianguo, you old wall lamp, don't pretend to be dead either."

Xiaojuan and Xiaomei are my daughters now, and have nothing to do with you.

If you ever dare to harass my daughter again when you're feeling unwell, I'll castrate you and make sure you can never be a man again!

Zhang Wenying's words were harsh and vicious, making Li Jianguo tremble with anger. He could only stare blankly, finally managing to squeeze out a few words: "Old shrew... even if my daughter and I aren't on the same household registration... they still share the surname Li..."

"Tch, it's just a surname."

Don't worry, I'll take them to the police station tomorrow to change their surnames to mine, Zhang.

"You dare!"

Li Jianguo was so angry that he sat up abruptly in bed, his chest heaving violently, and his finger pointing at Zhang Wenying was trembling.

Why should our own children have to change their surname?

"What wouldn't I dare to do?"

"Do you believe I can castrate you right now?" Upon hearing this, Li Jianguo was so frightened that he quickly squeezed his legs together.

Zhang Wenying is a crazy woman; if pushed to the limit, she's capable of anything.

Li Wenhai and Li Wenjun, standing to the side, exchanged glances and unconsciously lowered their breathing, afraid that their mother's anger would affect innocent bystanders.

They don't want to be eunuchs!

Seeing her two sons' cowardly behavior, Zhang Wenying snorted coldly and turned to walk out the door.

As she reached the door, she stopped and said without turning her head, "Li Wenhai, Li Wenjun, you are the same."

If you dare to scheme against my daughter again, don't blame me for not showing any motherly affection.

Li Wenjun, your job was secured for you by your mother.

"If you dare give Pan Wenfang any more money, I'll take that job back and make you beg on the streets!"

It wasn't that she liked to meddle in Li Wenjun's life or death; it was just that Pan Wenfang was no good and would cause their family to be ruined in the future.

Even if she disliked Li Wenjun, she couldn't just watch him be dragged into the mud by that woman.

She was afraid that her family would also be implicated.

That's how it was in the previous life. Li Wenjun was murdered, and all the money in his hands fell into Pan Wenfang's hands.

Once Pan Wenfang had money, she hired people to spread rumors about her everywhere and even caused trouble at her shop, making it impossible for her to continue doing business.

In this life, she will never give that woman another chance to cause trouble.

Zhang Wenying went straight home, washed up, and went straight to sleep.

I'm really tired today.

The next morning, Zhang Wenying was awakened by the chirping of birds outside her window.

In the courtyard, Li Xiaomei was sweeping, Li Xiaojuan had already gone to the slaughterhouse, and the old lady was squatting in front of the chicken coop feeding the chickens.

There were thirty chickens in the yard, all of them energetic and clucking as they scrambled for food.

After scattering the last handful of corn kernels, the old lady patted the crumbs off her hands, got up, and called into the house, "Wenying, get up and eat! I made millet porridge this morning and steamed your favorite pumpkin buns."

Zhang Wenying responded, got out of bed, washed her hands and face, brushed her teeth, drank half a cup of warm water, and then left the room.

"Wenying, these thirty chickens at home are doing very well; they can produce at least twenty eggs a day."

Besides eating them ourselves, we can also braise them and sell them for money.

The vegetable garden at home is quite nice. We've planted chicken manure, and all the eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers are growing beautifully and are much better than what we buy outside.

The vegetable garden in the yard is quite large, with eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, a patch of chives, and a trellis of green beans.

The vegetables in the restaurant, except for potatoes and cabbage which are bought from outside, are all grown on their own land.
