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

The divorce proceedings went exceptionally smoothly.

Because Li Jianguo was holding a grudge, he still felt that he was right and that Zhang Wenying was putting on airs.

He didn't believe Zhang Wenying would really divorce him.

But the moment he received the divorce certificate, the color drained from his face, his hand trembled, and the thin piece of paper fluttered to the ground like a withered leaf.

"You...you really want to divorce me..."

Zhang Wenying happily accepted the divorce certificate, her fingertips lightly tracing the bright red seal, as if caressing newly born wings.

"If we've already got the divorce certificate, how could it be fake?"

Comrade Li Jianguo, are you still half asleep?

She examined the certificate carefully over and over again, then said a lot of nice things and had the staff stamp her divorce agreement with a bright red seal.

In those days, there were no notary offices, but the official seals of state-owned entities still had legal effect.

Zhang Wenying turned and walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau. She then went to the bank with the dazed Li Jianguo and withdrew 600 yuan. She then opened a new savings account and deposited the money into it.

She stood in the shadow of the sycamore tree, clutching her bankbook. A gust of wind blew, and her newly cut short hair swept past her ears.

She looked up at the shards of gold filtering through the leaves and suddenly burst into laughter... The laughter was clear and crisp, like a drawn sword that cleaved through the suffocating atmosphere that had been building up for over twenty years.

Li Jianguo watched her departing figure, his lips moved but no sound came out, he felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his chest, making it hard to breathe.

Did they really get divorced?

He stood there motionless until the shadow of the sycamore leaves moved past his feet, then slowly bent down and squatted on the ground, burying his hands deep in his hair, his shoulders shaking silently.

Then, he stood up again and stared fiercely in the direction Zhang Wenying had left.

Good, good, very good!

Are you using this to put on airs?

He wanted to see how long she could keep up her tough act!

Zhang Wenying, however, walked briskly straight to her workplace.

As soon as Sister Zhang from her workplace saw her, she immediately pulled her into a corner.

"I heard you were beaten and hospitalized. Are you okay?"

I wanted to visit you in the hospital, but your daughter told me to only ask for leave for you and not to go to the hospital to see you.

What exactly are you making a scene at home for?

Her main concern was that Zhang Wenying might change her mind and not sell the job to her niece.

Zhang Wenying smiled and waved her hand, then took out a corner of her divorce certificate from her bag and waved it gently: "Old Zhang, look, I'm divorced."

"What?! You really got divorced?!"

Sister Zhang held the divorce certificate in her hand and looked at it again and again, almost unable to believe her eyes.

She thought Zhang Wenying was just talking, but she never expected that this damned woman would actually do something earth-shattering!

Sister Zhang opened and closed her lips repeatedly before finally letting out a sigh: "You're really daring. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to take this step even if I had a hundred lives."

As he spoke, he gripped Zhang Wenying's hand again, lowering his voice even further.

"Does the job replacement agreement still stand? My niece is pacing around at home worried sick."

"It counts, how can it not count?"

Zhang Wenying smiled and nodded, "I'm here today to complete my resignation procedures. I've already spoken to my supervisor beforehand, so we'll follow the rules and complete all the necessary paperwork."

Ms. Zhang immediately relaxed, a genuine smile spreading across her face. She thanked them several times and turned to call her niece over to complete the formalities.

The formalities were completed smoothly, and Zhang Wenying received 1,800 yuan for selling her job. She packed her belongings into a cloth bag, carried it on her back, and left the workplace.

Standing at the entrance of her workplace, she touched the savings book in her pocket. With the six hundred yuan she had received earlier and the four hundred and fifty yuan that the Pan family had paid in compensation, she now had two thousand eight hundred and fifty yuan in her hand. In the 1980s, this was no small sum of money.

Li Jianguo, that blockhead, forgot to share the money with her, so she accepted it without any pressure.

Anyway, over the years, she has invested far more money into her family than that.

After leaving her workplace, Zhang Wenying went to a residential area not far away, amidst Sister Zhang's profuse thanks.

This is where Zhang Wenying made her fortune in her previous life.

She walked up to a woman's pancake stall, bought a pancake for a dime, and chatted with her while eating it.

"Hey girl, your pancakes smell amazing!"

The woman was in her thirties, with delicate features, but her eyes revealed weariness and sorrow.

"Thank you for the compliment, sister-in-law."

No matter how good your skills are, you can't withstand your in-laws coming to make trouble every few days.

"Hey girl, do you live here?"

Do you know where there are any vacant shops around here that are for sale or rent?

The woman's eyes lit up for a moment, then quickly dimmed again: "My family does have three shops and a courtyard to sell, but I'm afraid you won't dare to buy them."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenying realized that there was a courtyard for sale.

This is exactly what she wanted!

This whole area will be demolished in the future.

In a few years, some organizations will build apartment buildings, which will not be allocated to any one person, but will be sold to the public through a lottery system.

People are keen to live in apartment buildings, so many old houses in the city have gradually become vacant and sold to migrant workers.

But when it came time for demolition, these old houses became highly sought-after... with compensation per square meter far exceeding that of newly built commercial housing.

As a result, fights broke out when the old homeowners returned, and people frequently tried to seize the houses.

Some people fail to obtain the land certificate when buying and selling land, leading to continuous property disputes and mountains of court files.

But this woman was different.

Although her in-laws were difficult to deal with, she sold her shop and house and went abroad to stay with relatives, and never came back.

In her past life, she used borrowed money to buy a shop, but the remaining two shops and the large courtyard were all taken over by her husband's family.

But Zhang Wenying was not afraid of that family.

We live in a society governed by the rule of law. As long as the paperwork is complete and the sales procedures are legal, no one will dare to cause trouble here.

"Young lady, how much do you want for these three shops and that big courtyard? I'll take them all."

The woman's hand, which was gripping the pancake spatula, suddenly paused. She looked Zhang Wenying up and down carefully, and said in a very low voice, "The three shops plus the courtyard will cost a total of two thousand yuan."

Although it's not in the city center, it has a good location, with shops right next to the street.

If it weren't for my in-laws pressuring me, I could have sold this shop and yard for at least three thousand five hundred!

Two thousand.

Zhang Wenying didn't haggle over the price, but only asked, "Are all the paperwork complete? Do you have the land deed and the house deed?"

"Don't worry, everything is provided."

This is my husband's private property, and it's all in my name.

I have the original land certificate and house deed, along with the official documents approving the construction from the county back then.

Zhang Wenying nodded.

"Okay, I'll give you a deposit of five hundred."

The remaining balance will be settled in full once the property transfer is completed.

She has enough money on hand.

These shops and courtyards will be worth at least tens of millions in a decade or so.
