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

The old lady became more and more agitated as she spoke.

"And you, He Caifeng, my Li family must have been blind to marry such a troublemaker like you."

Your family has always been dirt poor, only that blind Wenhai would be interested in you.

Before you married into my family, you were as thin as a monkey and couldn't even afford a decent piece of clothing.

Even his shoes had his toes sticking out, making him look like a beggar.

After you came to my house, my silly daughter treated you like a human being, never letting you suffer any grievances. She didn't let you do any housework, fed you well, and never said a harsh word to you.

After you gave birth, my silly daughter would rather go hungry herself than miss out on money to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to queue up and buy you brown sugar and eggs to nourish your body. She took care of you for a full hundred days.

And yet, you turn around and instigate your child to curse your mother-in-law. Is this how you repay my family?

You call yourself a public servant? In my opinion, you're not even fit to carry the country's shoes!

You are unworthy of those clothes, and even less worthy of the kindness my Li family has shown you.

He Caifeng was furious and roared through the pain on her face, "Grandma, what do you know?"

Zhang Wenying is trying to wipe them out completely!

She's trying to drive Wenhai and me to our doom!

We were living comfortably in the courtyard in the city center, so why did she just kick us out like that?

Our family of three has lived there for so many years. Now that we've moved back here, she not only doesn't help us take care of the child, but she's also constantly finding fault with us and complaining that we're in her way. Today, she even physically assaulted someone!

My face is proof. Look how swollen it is!

She's trying to kill me!

You're all siding with her, how can you not understand the pain I'm going through!

He Caifeng felt wronged.

The insults directed at Zhang Wenying were kept to themselves, but they never expected that a few children would blurt them out today.

The more she thought about it, the angrier and more wronged she felt. Tears streamed down her face as she wiped them away with the back of her hand, but the swelling and pain on her face made her gasp.

"Pooh!

What a load of nonsense!

The old lady spat, her cloudy old eyes filled with disdain, "You still have the nerve to mention that courtyard in the city center?"

My daughter bought that with her own money, what's it to you?

And you even complained that your mother-in-law didn't help you take care of the children.

Does being a mother-in-law mean I owe you something?

You don't care about the child you gave birth to, so your mother-in-law has to be your slave?

There are plenty of people in this world who don't have mothers-in-law, and I've never seen a daughter-in-law starve her child to death.

You guys are something else. You ate and drank my daughter's food and drink my daughter's drinks a few years ago, and now that you've grown up, you turn around and bite me.

Ask yourselves honestly, how has my daughter wronged you all these years?

You yourself are no good. You schemed to get into the Li family by tricking that idiot Li Wenhai, and now you're turning around and blaming him, treating kindness as enmity and tolerance as weakness.

You keep saying you're wronged, but put your hand on your heart and think about it, do you deserve this grievance? Everything you eat, wear, and live in, wasn't it all provided by my daughter?

"And you, instead of being grateful, you even incited your child to curse your elders! If this were in the old society, you would have been dragged out and paraded through the streets!"

The old lady unleashed a torrent of abuse, leaving He Caifeng and Li Wenhai bowing their heads in humiliation.

Li Jianguo stayed inside the house and didn't dare to come out.

Having just embarrassed myself during the day, I dare not go out and invite further bad luck.

He Caifeng was rendered speechless by the old lady's scolding. Her lips trembled, and tears streamed down her face, mingling with the redness and swelling on her cheeks, but she could no longer utter a single word.

She only made a few remarks about Zhang Wenying because she was angry.

Who told Zhang Wenying to go too far?

But listening to the discussions outside the courtyard, eighty percent of which were in favor of Zhang Wenying, she began to regret her decision.

But she couldn't swallow the insult that Zhang Wenying had given her.

"Zhang Wenying, don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

Isn't this whole charade just an excuse to make Wenhai and me bow down to you?

I'm telling you, I won't!

I'm going to make Li Wenhai disown you as his mother, and Xiaobao disown you as his grandmother! Just you wait and see who can outlast whom!

I want to see if you can take all that wealth with you into your coffin after you die!

You think you can just wait until I die to divide my assets? You're dreaming!

Even if I donate the money to the public, it's not up to a heartless person like you to touch a single penny.

"You want Wenhai to disown me? Fine, we've severed our mother-son relationship. I'd like to see how well you two can live without me."

As she spoke, she turned to look at Li Wenhai, who was frozen in place, her eyes as cold as ice: "Li Wenhai, keep your wife in check."

If I hear her say another bad word about me, next time it won't be as simple as just slapping her.

Li Wenhai felt flustered under that gaze and subconsciously nodded, not daring to utter a word of rebuttal.

Seeing his pathetic state, He Caifeng was so angry that she stomped her feet, but she dared not utter any more harsh words.

Seeing that they had stopped moving, Zhang Wenying released her grip on He Caifeng's hair, dusted off her hands, and led the old lady and Li Xiaojuan towards her own courtyard gate.

Before leaving, he threw out a sentence: "Tomorrow I'll have someone build the wall around this yard higher, so we can each live our own lives, and save some people from getting annoyed by looking at us. I'll also have some peace and quiet."

After saying that, he left without looking back, leaving He Caifeng and her husband squatting in the yard, their faces turning as purple as pig livers as they faced a yard full of onlookers.

"Li Wenhai, aren't you a man yet?"

Are you just going to stand by and watch your mother bully me?

He Caifeng was furious.

How did things get to this point?

Li Wenhai squatted on the doorstep, his hands covering his head, and muttered, "Shut up, aren't you embarrassed enough today?"

Seeing He Caifeng still pacing back and forth, Zhang Wenying shouted again from over the wall, "Hey, this demon wants to rebel? Watch me, the great god, seal her away!"

Remembering a rhyme she'd read in a storybook, Zhang Wenying recited it offhand: "The sun rises in the east, a touch of red; evil spirits causing trouble will meet their end. A crooked wind is suppressed on the wall; a basin of dog's blood will send her to her death!"

seal up!"

Immediately afterwards, a pebble hit He Caifeng's front tooth with a "thud".

"Ugh..." He Caifeng covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face from the pain. Looking down, she saw a trace of blood on her palm. She hissed, trembling with anger, but dared not retort.

There was nothing she could do; Zhang Wenying was insane. She was afraid that if she cursed again, that crazy woman would throw a bucket of dog blood at her.
