Old Mrs. Song is reborn; get out of here, you scumbag husband and illegitimate child!

Song Xianglan found her seat on the train.

She bought a window seat.

The carriage was noisy, and two people in front of us were arguing loudly.

"Are you blind? Didn't you see me putting my luggage away?"

"You're blocking the aisle."

"How many minutes can you hold off the traffic by putting down your luggage? Are you in such a hurry to be reborn?"

"We're on the same train, so if I were to be reincarnated, it would be about the same for you."

The people behind urged, "Stop arguing. When you're out and about, everyone should keep to themselves. Hurry up and find a seat; there's a queue behind you."

The two people who were arguing fell silent.

Song Xianglan placed her luggage on the table, and then put a backpack at her feet. She casually took out a thermos and a few bananas and placed them on the small table.

After settling in.

She opened the roast meat rice that she had packed near her son's house.

The car hasn't started moving yet.

Song Xianglan had already taken apart the chopsticks.

She paid extra to have the owner cut more roast goose, roast pork, and char siu, which were then mixed with rice noodles and filled a large box. She had only taken a few bites of the roast goose when someone sat down at the table next to her.

Song Xianglan subconsciously looked up.

stunned.

The other party was also stunned.

"Auntie?" Yu Pengfei was also getting on in years, with many wrinkles around his eyes. But as someone who came from the military, he still maintained a very upright posture.

Seeing Song Xianglan, he looked surprised and asked, "Are you going back?"

Song Xianglan put down her chopsticks and smiled:

"Pengfei, it's been many years. Zhou Fang mentioned you once, saying you were doing real estate in Shenzhen."

"What real estate? I'm just a contractor." Yu Pengfei put his luggage away. "Luckily, Zhou Fang was kind enough to give me a chance and let me take on your factory's project."

"Taking advantage of that opportunity, I gained some fame, and now I run a construction company. Our company has been collaborating on projects with Zhou Fang's company."

Song Xianglan nodded: "That's good. Working for yourself is better than working for someone else. Are you going back to your hometown this time?"

Upon hearing the word "go home," Yu Pengfei's smile vanished instantly.

The voice turned cold:

"no."

He looked out the window, paused, and then spoke:

"A few years ago, I brought my children to Shenzhen."

Song Xianglan overheard Granny Yu's complaints throughout the village back in her hometown, but no one took them seriously. Unexpectedly, Yu Pengfei actually went back to pick up his child; his child was probably married by now.

"I gave my wife and my mother a sum of money. I absolutely cannot let them know where I am."

Song Xianglan listened quietly.

"You and your wife aren't getting a divorce, but you're not living together either. What's going on?"

"She refuses to divorce, so I'll respect her decision. Anyway, I'll give her living expenses every month, and she can't interfere with my life. The children can go back to see them if they want, but they can't bring their mother to Shenzhen."

Song Xianglan: ...

"Does the child listen to you?"

"The tattered straw hat is sticking out of my eyes, it's really sunburnt. I don't need to say anything in front of you, they won't go against my wishes for the sake of money. Besides, they're all married, one to a local from Shenzhen and the other to another place. They can easily take care of my two sons."

Yu Pengfei looked at Song Xianglan with a complicated expression:

"Auntie, to be honest, I really envy Xiangdong for having a mother like you. My mom..."

He gave a cold laugh and didn't continue.

"How is Xiujuan now?" Song Xianglan changed the subject.

"She couldn't keep her hair salon going in town because my parents kept bothering her. So I brought her to Shenzhen. She reopened her hair salon there. Daya helps out and learns the trade. They're even planning to open a branch and become a chain recently."

"Xiujuan started dating someone who was divorced and had a child."

"My eldest daughter is married too. This girl is always so good at finding ways to help others. Luckily, her husband is hardworking and treats her well."

Yu Pengfei's tone revealed a hint of relief.

But it was soon covered by gloom again.

When his mother, Granny Yu, was mentioned...

Yu Pengfei made no attempt to hide the resentment in his eyes.

"If it weren't for my mother's meddling, I could have worked peacefully in the system until retirement."

Yu Pengfei gritted his teeth:

"Why did I end up working on construction sites like a stray dog? I've made some money now, but who will bear the burden of all the hardships and suffering I endured over the years?"

Song Xianglan swallowed a mouthful of rice noodles, her tone calm:

"In this life, you'll eventually find your way after all the twists and turns. Now that you've made it big, it'll just be a hurdle in the long run. Your parents are back in your hometown, with your brothers looking after them, and you've given them enough money, so they won't have a hard time. It's just that your mother's temper might not get along with her two daughters-in-law."

Yu Pengfei scoffed:

"She couldn't get along with anyone. She had the typical fate of a peasant woman, but with all the ailments of an empress dowager. She couldn't stand anyone and thought no one was as good as her, yet she was incredibly lucky. She always felt that God was unfair."

Song Xianglan couldn't hold back any longer.

Laugh out loud.

These words are precise and incisive; only a son's own words can truly capture their essence.

"Clang..."

The train gave a slight jolt and slowly started moving.

The green train slowly pulled out of the station.

The scenery outside the window began to recede.

This train stops at every station.

Some major stations stop for half an hour, and sometimes they even stop halfway through the journey when there are no villages or shops in sight.

As soon as the car stopped, people from nearby villages came over with baskets and carrying loads.

Vendors selling boiled corn, tea eggs, and fruit drinks shouted their wares through the car windows.

While passing through a village near an unnamed town.

The train stopped again.

Yu Pengfei waved to the outside.

He paid for two servings of soft and chewy glutinous rice balls, two grilled, oily chicken legs, and finally two bottles of soda.

The goods were brought in, and the money was handed out through the car window.

Yu Pengfei pushed a serving of glutinous rice balls, a chicken leg, and a bottle of soda in front of Song Xianglan.

"Auntie, have something to eat." Yu Pengfei inserted a straw into the soda bottle. "I'm getting off at the next stop, to Chaoshi."

"Going to Chaozhou for business?" Song Xianglan took a sip of the soda, its coolness refreshing and cleansing.

"Attending a wedding banquet." Yu Pengfei took a bite of his chicken leg. "A friend of mine is getting married, and he insisted on dragging me along to join in the fun. Actually, my friend doesn't approve of this marriage at all."

"Parents can't interfere too much with their children's marriages. Why?" Song Xianglan asked casually.

"He complained that the woman's house was a mess."

Yu Pengfei leaned back, intrigued. "The woman's mother had several daughters. Later, the woman's father, who was my friend's in-law, simply found a woman in Meizhou and had a son with her."

Song Xianglan frowned slightly.

"It's normal for your friend to feel uncomfortable about this kind of thing."

Yu Pengfei, with a gossipy look on his face, said, "The most outrageous part is yet to come. After this in-law gave birth to her son, she actually introduced her mistress to a man in Guangzhou."

Song Xianglan felt a sense of déjà vu.

"What do you mean?"

"That woman married a man from Guangzhou, and I heard that their two children were both from that in-law. That green-haired turtle knows nothing about it."

Yu Pengfei got more and more excited as he spoke, "My third sister got pregnant after sleeping with a man from Guangzhou. As long as she found out he wasn't my friend's in-law, even if she was quite far along in her pregnancy, she would still go and have an abortion. In the end, she would find an excuse to cover it up."

Song Xianglan's heart skipped a beat.

He put down the soda bottle in his hand.

"Their business must be quite large, right?" Song Xianglan stared at Yu Pengfei.

"That green-haired turtle in Guangzhou is doing pretty well in business," Yu Pengfei sneered. "That's why he's called a green-haired turtle. He earns so much money, but it all goes to raising other people's kids."

Song Xianglan felt something was wrong with her whole body.

This plot.

The first half sounded familiar.

"What's your friend's in-law's surname?" Song Xianglan stared intently at him.

Yu Pengfei thought for a moment:

"His surname is Lai. I met him once at a dinner party before. He's skinny and has a very sharp tongue, able to say whatever comes to mind. His business is so-so, but I heard he's made a lot of money in recent years thanks to that green-haired turtle in Guangzhou."

Yu Pengfei clicked his tongue twice:

"I've heard of that green-haired turtle too. I heard he's tall and big, but not very bright. He believes everything his wife says."

Song Xianglan sat there, her mind buzzing.

Tall and big.

My brain isn't working properly.

The business is quite large.

A woman from Meizhou.

How can this be considered a likeness?

This is practically reading from Song west's ID card.

Back then, Song west was infatuated with Wan Xiaoju and refused to believe the details his family had investigated. He was willing to sever ties with his parents rather than give up on marrying Wan Xiaoju.

Over the years, Song west's business in Guangzhou has been very successful, and he has made a lot of money.

Wan Xiaoju gave birth to two children for him.

So they're all bastards raised for someone else.

Would someone with a sharp mind raise someone else's child?!

Song Laosi and his wife later accepted Wan Xiaoju, feeling that after all, she had given birth to two children for their son. As for the messy affairs before marriage, they treated her as a divorced woman.

Song Xianglan's face grew increasingly pale.

My chest felt like it was blocked by a huge rock, and I was so angry that my heart was pounding.

I wish I could rush to Guangzhou right now, drag Song west out, and slap him until he's green-haired like a turtle.

"Pengfei." Song Xianglan took a deep breath, trying to suppress her anger, "Do me a favor."

Seeing that Song Xianglan's expression was off, Yu Pengfei sat up straight.

"Auntie, please tell me."

"When you go to the wedding, try to find out if the mistress's name is Wan Xiaoju?" Song Xianglan stared into Yu Pengfei's eyes.

Yu Pengfei was suddenly stunned.

He glanced at Song Xianglan's pale face.

He then reflected on what he had just said.

"Auntie..." Yu Pengfei swallowed hard. "You...you don't know that green-haired turtle, do you?"

Song Xianglan had a cold face.

"I wish I didn't know him. But nine times out of ten, I do know this stupid turtle."

Yu Pengfei gasped and quickly nodded.

"Okay, I understand. I'll definitely find out for you." He had a pretty good idea that it must be one of Song Xianglan's nephews.

I heard that Song Xianglan has several nephews who are doing business in Guangzhou.

"It's okay to inquire," Song Xianglan instructed, "but don't tell anyone. Once you have confirmation, call me immediately. Don't alert them."

"Don't worry, Auntie, I know what I'm doing," Yu Pengfei assured her, patting his chest.
