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

Upon hearing this, the woman's eyes lit up, and she said solemnly, "Sister, I'll go get the house deed and land deed right away. Please wait a moment!"

You'd better think this through. My in-laws are all unreasonable; they might come to our door and cause trouble.

Zhang Wenying's lips curled slightly, her gaze calm as a deep pool: "If they come, I have court summons and mediation agreements waiting for them; if they really resort to violence, I'm not one to be trifled with."

Upon seeing this, the woman stopped trying to persuade him and packed up her stall and closed the shop. She then wrote a deposit receipt with Zhang Wenying and agreed to go to the housing management bureau to complete the transfer procedures immediately.

The procedures went very smoothly.

After all, buying and selling houses was still a novelty in this era. When the housing management bureau staff saw that the procedures were complete and the ownership was clear, they immediately stamped the transfer seal and even specially instructed: "Comrade Zhang, once this red seal is affixed, the property rights belong to you completely."

Zhang Wenying took the brand-new property certificates. The covers were as bright red as the rising sun. Her fingertips traced the three gold-embossed words "Property Certificate," and she pressed the certificates tightly to her heart—where they were beating like drums.

From now on, she won't be afraid of not having a place to stay.

After returning home, the woman packed her bags and took her two children to Beijing.

She will fly from there to a foreign land and start a new life.

She had already completed the formalities for going abroad and was just waiting for the transfer of ownership of the shop and the courtyard to be completed before setting off on her long journey.

Without these constraints, she could finally stand tall and breathe freely.

Zhang Wenying took the keys and went to the large courtyard not far from the shop.

As soon as she entered, Zhang Wenying's eyes lit up.

This family was well-off. The courtyard was paved with blue bricks, with a two-courtyard layout and four courtyards. The screen wall was well-carved, and the courtyard was full of flowers. The courtyard had running water, toilets, and a kitchen. Even the stove was made of blue bricks.

The courtyard contains many houses, with three main rooms and two side rooms on the east and west sides, and two wing rooms on each side. The windows are fitted with large panes of glass, allowing for excellent light transmission.

The courtyard is surrounded by swaying trees, and the cicadas chirp melodiously among the branches, as if time itself has quietly stood still here.

The interior furnishings, though simple, are neat and orderly. The eight-immortal table, long table, and grand master chair are all made of old elm wood, with thick grain and a warm patina.

The bed inside was wide and sturdy, covered with a plain blue-printed cotton quilt, and the pillows and blankets were folded neatly. Even the enamel mugs in the bedside table had an old-fashioned luster.

Because she left in a hurry, the woman only took her own and her child's personal clothing, valuables, and jewelry, leaving behind all the large furniture, as well as daily necessities such as mattresses, bedding, enamel basins, and thermos flasks.

Zhang Wenying nodded in satisfaction.

These two thousand yuan were well spent.

This courtyard alone would cost at least 1,500 yuan.

Moreover, the courtyard is surrounded by high and thick walls, built of blue bricks, with neat gray tiles on top.

The courtyard, with its total area of ​​nearly a thousand square meters, is enough for her to live a life of luxury in the future.

She really got a great deal today.

In the old house, Li Jianguo was on leave and was directing people to build the courtyard wall.

"Old Li, what are you doing?"

Could it be that I really intend to sever all ties with Zhang Wenying?

"Of course we need to draw a clear line!"

I really gave her too much credit!

She's always causing trouble at home, she even dares to hit me, I think she needs to be taught a lesson.

"I'd like to see what kind of trouble she can cause without me!"

Before Li Jianguo could finish speaking, a clear bicycle bell suddenly rang out from outside the courtyard gate.

It was Li Wenhai and his wife, along with their second son, who came home from get off work.

"Dad, where's Mom?"

Is dinner ready?

We're starving to death.

I didn't eat last night, and I'm so hungry this morning that I feel dizzy.

I finally made it off work and rushed home to find something to eat.

Even though he has moved out, he still eats both meals at home every day.

Li Jianguo rubbed his temples, smelling the aroma of food wafting from the other side. Anger and hunger made him feel terrible.

"What's all the noise about?"

Boss, take some money and go to the state-run restaurant to buy some meat buns so we can fill our stomachs.

Your mother and I... are already divorced.

"What? You and my... Mom, you're really divorced?"

Li Wenbing's voice was almost splitting.

He is a freshman in high school this year, which is a time when he is growing rapidly.

If Mom really doesn't want them anymore, what will he do in the future?

Although my mother doesn't have many virtues, she is a very good cook.

Li Wenhai and Li Wenjun were also visibly surprised.

"Are you really divorced?"

"Is this something to joke about?"

"I'm a grown man, can't I live without that woman Zhang Wenying!"

Li Wenjun and Li Wenbing looked at Li Wenhai in disbelief.

This eldest son was their mother's darling, but unexpectedly, their mother didn't even want her eldest brother anymore!

Now, the two of them felt somewhat at peace.

Since her eldest brother got married, not only has He Caifeng been allowed to eat and take more than her share, but when she comes home, they have to treat her like royalty.

Because he was the eldest son and a college student, he felt a sense of superiority.

But this older brother has no redeeming qualities other than being selfish.

He doesn't help at all when there's something going on at home; he acts like a hypocrite.

But every time I go back there, I have to take a lot of things with me in big bags and small packages.

The neighbors certainly gossiped about it a lot.

But Mom always says, "Your older brother is married now, so he has to take on the responsibilities of a man. He can't let your sister-in-law and older brother go hungry, can he?"

It's just some worthless stuff; I can take it without a second thought.

Worthless?

That's white rice, white flour, salt, and cooking oil!

The eldest brother took it, so they have to eat coarse grains and black flour. Why should they?

Now that Mom doesn't want the eldest son anymore, it means that in Mom's heart, the eldest son wasn't that good either.

"Boss, your mom doesn't want me anymore, and she doesn't want you guys either."

I had someone rebuild the stove in the yard, and starting tomorrow, the eldest and second eldest sons will each pay twenty yuan for food expenses.

As for the third son, who is still in school, he doesn't contribute financially; instead, he washes the dishes and helps tidy up the house.

"dad!"

Three voices rang out simultaneously.

How can this be!

Their monthly salary is less than one hundred yuan.

Li Wenhai, being a college student, earns a little more, ninety-eight yuan a month.

Li Wenjun is only fifty-seven months old.

If they hand it over, they won't have enough to cover their expenses.

When Mom was alive, they never worried about having enough to eat!

"Dad, this won't do, this is absolutely impossible!"

He Caifeng was furious when she heard that.

"Wenhai gives half of his salary to my mother every month. If he gives me another twenty, do you expect me and him to starve?"

My child is still with my mother, asking for food and drink.

"Sister-in-law, you've gone too far!"

You married my older brother and never gave your family a single penny, yet you gave half of my older brother's salary to your family!

You keep asking your mother for money for Xiaoming's formula, how can you be so shameless!
