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

A neighbor couldn't bear to watch any longer and stepped forward to pull Zhang Wenying's arm, advising, "Wenying, even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. You've been married for most of your lives, how can you just get a divorce like that?"

"Give the Li family a way out, and also give yourself a way out."

Zhang Wenying pulled her arm back and said politely to her neighbor, "Thank you for coming to persuade me today. I know you mean well."

But I can't stay in this house for even a day longer.

I've given most of my life to the Li family, working like a slave to serve the old and the young. I've done right by the Li family's ancestors for eight generations. Now I just want to live for myself, and nobody can stop me.

Zhang Wenying originally thought that she would come back to deal with these unfilial sons and Li Jianguo, that Chen Shimei.

But now she suddenly feels that God gave her a second chance at life so that she could live a different life.

Therefore, she wants to divorce Li Jianguo and live for herself from now on: earn money, spend money, travel, read books, learn to dance, and pick up the dreams she never dared to dream of before.

Instead of wasting a lot of time on endless arguments, feeling wronged, and self-destruction.

"Zhang Wenying, that's enough!"

"How long are you going to keep this up?!"

I just wanted to apologize, but she made a scene!

It seems he's been too good to her all these years!

The saying "A defeated wife is like a kneaded dough" is always true!

Am I not good enough to you?

You can do whatever you want, both at home and outside.

I never ask how much of your monthly salary you spend or save.

I haven't really hit you all these years. How many men in the world are as good as me?

I think I've been too lenient with you, which is why you've become so arrogant and forgotten who you are!

"Hey, don't call yourself a good man."

You've never contributed any money to your household, so why are you interfering with how Zhang Wenying spends her money?

Her salary has supported your whole family all these years. She even paid for her own medical expenses when she was sick and hospitalized. And you, on the other hand, give all your salary to your mistress, and even buy her coats and gifts.

"Over the years, I've never seen you give Zhang Wenying a single piece of jewelry, not even a scarf!"

Neighbor Aunt Zhang couldn't help but say something.

She had seen Li Jianguo give that woman coats and gifts several times; this wasn't just something she made up.

"That's right."

Old Lin, who works on the street, not only hands over all his wages, doesn't beat his wife, and even brings her water to wash her feet at night, yet no one calls him a good man.

Old Lin, standing outside the crowd, blushed.

Many people say he's henpecked and has a wife who doesn't care about his wife.

It's not easy for him to get married, and she has given him children. If he doesn't treat his wife well, who else can he treat well?

"It's also Zhang Wenying's fault for not being able to stand up for herself."

She gets beaten by men but still serves that large family diligently and without complaint every day.

If it were me, I would have grabbed a broom and whipped them.

We're all old neighbors in this area; everyone knows each other's situation.

Many of the women present looked at Zhang Wenying with sympathy.

Zhang Wenying has become so amazing.

Although she might be branded a shrew, it's satisfying to see her like this now.

Many women have been beaten by the men in their families.

It seems that it is natural for men to hit women, but Zhang Wenying's cry of "divorce" was like a thunderbolt that shattered the iron curtain that had been silent for many years.

It was like a ray of light illuminating all the bent spines—that silence is not a virtue, but a shackle; that patience is not kindness, but condoning violence.

But such a simple word is not something that every woman who has been a victim of domestic violence dares to say easily or with courage.

Because divorced women are seen as unchaste and outcasts, subjected to gossip and stripped of their dignity and voice.

As Zhang Wenying listened to her neighbors' gossip, her eyes welled up with tears.

It turns out that I am not entirely useless.

Li Jianguo was publicly humiliated, his face turning purplish-red. He suddenly grabbed the enamel cup on the table and smashed it hard on the ground.

"Zhang Wenying, what are you trying to do? What exactly are you trying to do?!"

He was furious.

All he does is make a scene. Doesn't Li Jianguo have any shame?

Zhang Wenying wiped her eyes and said coldly, "I want a divorce!"

Zhang Wenying's words immediately silenced the room.

Although we live in a new society now, divorce is still a very shocking thing.

Even if a couple gets physical at home, or even uses knives, very few people would dare to say the word "divorce" in public.

The two words, uttered by Zhang Wenying, were like a red-hot iron clamp, branding them hard onto everyone's eardrums.

Not to mention Li Jianguo, even the three Li brothers, Li Wenjun and Li Jianguo, were stunned.

"Mom, aren't you ashamed enough?"

Look around Haicheng, which wife would dare to ask for a divorce in the street?

You're almost fifty, your kids are all grown up and starting their own families, and you're still making this fuss!

Li Wenhai blushed crimson with embarrassment and scolded in a low voice, "Mom, are you trying to dig up our family's ancestral graves?"

Li Wenbing clenched his fists, looking at his mother with strong disapproval.

What are they trying to do?

Still getting a divorce?

If she gets divorced, their backbone will probably be broken by others!

Only Li Xiaomei stood by her mother's side. Although she also felt that her mother shouldn't mention divorce, she knew that with her father like this, her mother would only suffer more if she didn't divorce him.

After being shocked by the three incidents, Li Wenhai immediately realized that his mother was just angry with his father.

Their goal was to control their father and force him to compromise; they didn't actually want to divorce their father.

There aren't many men in this area with a salary as high as his father's.

Li Jianguo's face darkened, and he panicked for a moment. Then, he felt like he wanted to beat her to death.

"Li Jianguo, let's get a divorce."

This courtyard is split in half between us; the three sons are yours, and the two daughters are mine.

We'll split the family savings in half; let's part ways amicably.

She had originally planned to move out.

But on what grounds?

The courtyard is quite large, with five rooms and a vegetable garden.

When she bought this courtyard, her family even contributed two hundred yuan. Why should she leave it to Li Jianguo to leave on his own?

Besides, the houses in this area will be demolished in about ten years.

Although the demolition compensation was only around one million yuan, she took half of it, which is still 500,000 yuan.

Who would complain about having too much money?

She must take her daughter with her.

Otherwise, once she passes away, her daughter will gloriously inherit the apron and rag that she finally managed to take off, becoming the new housekeeper in this family.

Li Wenhai and the other two were stunned when they heard this.

His mother didn't want her three sons; she only wanted his little sister and that daughter who had married out of the family!

Pan Wenfang also blushed.

He shamelessly walked in the door, but the old woman actually wanted a divorce!

If she gets divorced, what will happen to her job?
