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

The onlookers outside whispered amongst themselves.

"Who doesn't know what kind of person Ma Lanxiang is?"

Zhang Haihe is an honest man, and this shrew managed to drive him to violence, which shows she's completely drained the Zhang family's coffers.

"Isn't that right?"

That brat from the Ma family, taking advantage of being the only son, idles away his days, exploiting his five older sisters one by one. Ma Lanxiang, as one of the older sisters, practically wants to empty her husband's family's coffers to support her own family.

"Isn't that right?"

We're all just trying to make a living from the soil, how can we afford to support such a bloodsucker?

Ma Lanxiang, on the other hand, was unwilling to let her younger brother suffer at all, while her own children were starving and emaciated.

"Tsk tsk, and she even said her younger brother is physically weak."

That kid is so fat and bloated, he's panting after every step. How is he weak? He's clearly just lazy!

In our surrounding area, it's rare to see someone so fat.

A woman who doesn't care about her husband's family's well-being is unacceptable.

"That's right. None of the other girls in the Ma family sent their husbands' family's things to their own family like she did."

"Living your own life well is the right thing to do, but she's acting like she wants to empty the Zhang family's coffers to support her good-for-nothing brother."

"I heard this time it was even worse; she gave all thirty yuan from her family to her younger brother."

That's thirty yuan!

Some families can't even save up thirty yuan in a whole year.

The whispers outside were like knives, stabbing Ma Lanxiang's dark face, making it turn red and white in turns.

She suddenly scrambled to her feet, pointed at the door, and yelled, "You gossipy women, what are you spreading rumors about!"

I, Ma Lanxiang, have done nothing wrong and have always lived an upright life. Stop making baseless accusations!

Zhang Haihe said with a stern face, "Get my money back, and I'll pretend this never happened."

Why should I take it back?

Zhang Haihe, all you know is how to gang up with outsiders to bully me!

"We've been married for over ten years, and you'd rather tighten your belt to support your aunt than help my family. What use are you to me?" Ma Lanxiang became more and more agitated as she spoke, spitting as she spoke.

"Everyone, please be the judge!"

Zhang Wenying comes back to her parents' home to ask for money whenever she can't make ends meet. Now she's even coming to my Zhang family to act tough, determined to break up my family!

What right does a married woman have to come back and boss people around?

I, Ma Lanxiang, have worked myself to the bone in this family, and in the end, even giving a little money to my younger brother from my maternal family makes me the target of everyone's condemnation. How am I supposed to live like this?!

Zhang Wenying stood at the door, coldly watching her throw a tantrum, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

She spoke slowly, her voice not loud, but each word clear: "Ma Lanxiang, you keep saying that married daughters shouldn't concern themselves with their parents' affairs, so why are you, a married daughter, transferring your husband's family's money to your parents' home?"

Ever since you married into the Zhang family, you've been throwing your weight around at home, never working in the fields, and my sister-in-law does most of the cooking.

You, on the other hand, are always thinking about how to squeeze money out of your family to support your good-for-nothing brother.

In the past, I have been a burden to my family, and I acknowledge that.

But I've never said a harsh word to you, yet you've taken advantage of my kindness and mistake my tolerance for weakness.

Since you keep saying I'm bullying you, wouldn't I be wasting my reputation if I didn't put it into practice?

Today, I'll show you what real bullying is.

Before she could finish speaking, she stepped forward and slapped Ma Lanxiang hard across the face.

With a crisp "snap," the entire courtyard fell silent instantly.

She covered her face, staring at Zhang Wenying in disbelief, her lips trembling for a long time, unable to utter a single word.

The villagers watching the commotion in the courtyard were also stunned. No one expected that Zhang Wenying, who was usually so docile, would have such a ruthless side.

Zhang Hongyuan and his wife, who rushed over upon hearing the news, looked at the scene with some surprise.

In the past, whenever the eldest son's wife threw a tantrum, none of them would argue with her because they cared about their reputation; they would just let the eldest son give in and coax her.

Unexpectedly, as soon as her sister-in-law returned, she started to deal with Ma Lanxiang.

Although it was a little embarrassing, I felt strangely relieved, didn't I?

Zhang Wenying wasn't going to tolerate Ma Lanxiang at all. She slapped her a few more times, making Ma Lanxiang see stars and her head shake like a rattle drum.

"Since you say I bully you every time I go back to my parents' home, then I have to bear that reputation, otherwise wouldn't all the insults you've given me have been for nothing?"

Zhang Wenying shook her numb hands, then coldly glanced at Ma Lanxiang, who was covering her face in a daze. "What, are you satisfied now?"

The burning pain on her cheek finally brought Ma Lanxiang back to her senses. She burst into tears and rushed towards Zhang Wenying.

"You shameless old shrew, you actually went back to your parents' house to beat people up! I'll fight you to the death!"

She lunged at Zhang Wenying, her claws aimed straight at her face.

Zhang Wenying dodged to the side and kicked Ma Lanxiang in the back of the knee.

She lost her balance and fell face-first into the mud with a thud.

Ma Lanxiang lay on the ground, crying her heart out, pounding the ground and wailing, "This is outrageous! My aunt went back to her parents' home and beat her niece-in-law! Folks, come and see! Is there no law in this Zhang family?!"

She cried so hard that her face was covered in snot and tears, and her voice was shrill and sharp, echoing in the yard like a pig being slaughtered.

Zhang Wenying ignored her cursing and turned to look at her elder brother and sister-in-law, whose faces were flushed.

"Brother, sister-in-law, can face be eaten?"

You've lived your whole lives just for your face.

Don't let others take your tolerance for granted.

People who are good are bullied by others, and horses who are good are ridden by others.

The more you back down, the more others will take advantage of you.

These slaps today weren't meant to hit her, but to wake you all up.

From now on, we must stand up for ourselves when necessary and not let outsiders ride roughshod over us.

"If the Haihe River can't stand up, then this son is no longer needed."

Zhang Haihe was immediately terrified and turned ashen-faced.

Aunt... Aunt is so heartless, she doesn't even want him anymore!

Upon hearing this, Ma Lanxiang, who was on the ground, stopped crying abruptly, raised her head sharply, her face still covered with tears and dirt, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, but she still stubbornly shouted, "Who are you trying to scare!"

"You're like water spilled from a cup; what right do you have to interfere in the Zhang family's affairs? Let me tell you, I, Ma Lanxiang, am not someone to be trifled with!"

Zhang Wenying ignored her completely, turned around and shouted towards the door: "Whose voice is louder?"

"Come in here! Let these wicked spirits in this courtyard see what real noise is!"

As soon as she finished speaking, several burly women rushed in from outside the door, each with their hands on their hips, staring menacingly at Ma Lanxiang on the ground.
