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

Zhang Wenying raised an eyebrow, stopped walking, and glanced at him sideways: "Oh? You've hooked up again? What's so strange about that? A leopard can't change its spots. They've never really broken off contact."

Li Wenhai was taken aback by her lukewarm attitude. He rubbed his hands together and lowered his voice: "Mom, this is no small matter. They dare to openly meet in the old warehouse now."

I overheard everything when I passed by. Pan Wenfang was urging the second son to make a fuss about dividing the family property with you, saying she wanted to give him half of our courtyard.

Zhang Wenying sneered. She knew perfectly well that Li Wenhai wasn't there to inform on her; he clearly wanted to use the matter of the second son to instigate her to take the lead so he could reap the benefits.

She didn't respond to Li Wenhai's words. Instead, she patted Zhang Ju on the back and said to Li Wenhai, "If he wants to split up, he should split up with your side. He can forget about splitting up with me."

I won't get involved in the second son's petty affairs anymore, so get out of the way.

Li Wenhai wasn't about to back down. He took another step forward and said urgently, "Mom, we can't wait until later! If you don't teach Second Brother a lesson, he might really bring that woman home, and she'll take our whole yard!"

Besides, Pan Wenfang's reputation is ruined. How can the family live if she marries such a troublemaker?

He holds grudges.

He won't let it go so easily after what his second brother said to him that day.

"Half of the courtyard has already been transferred to my name, and it's on my deed. Does he think he can just take a share whenever he wants?"

Zhang Wenying's gaze darkened.

"Li Wenhai, let me tell you, stop stirring up trouble here. I know your little schemes better than you do."

"If you're really that bored, go and tidy up that pile of coal in the backyard, and stop hanging around me spouting nonsense."

Li Wenhai's face flushed red instantly. His thoughts had been exposed, and he was speechless for a long time. He could only reluctantly turn his body to the side and make way for the doorway.

What else can we do?

He didn't dare to get angry at his mother.

But didn't Mom know that she always disliked Pan Wenfang?

Why are you abandoning it now?

In fact, the second son's attitude towards Pan Wenfang remained very cold.

His suggestion of assigning rooms was also an attempt to sow discord.

Why did the second child neglect his father?

Why leave your father to him all alone and then enjoy a carefree life?

He wanted to use his mother to teach his second son a lesson, but his plans were about to fall through.

Zhang Wenying didn't care about the scheming between the brothers.

She couldn't be bothered with those three char siu.

The next morning, Zhang Wenying went out to buy goods as usual. At noon, when she was busy, she saw Lao San and Xiaomei bring Shen Mo in.

Shen Mo was a handsome young man with a scholarly air about him. As soon as he entered the door, he greeted everyone respectfully, "Hello, Grandma. Hello, Auntie."

Li Xiaomei was a little nervous.

She took the initiative to invite Shen Mo to her home for dinner, fearing that her mother would not be happy.

After all, she is still young, and her mother is afraid that she will go astray.

But she genuinely regarded Shen Mo as an older brother.

The main reason is that this older brother is very knowledgeable and speaks gently, unlike some of the boys in the class who talk nonsense.

Zhang Wenying didn't think much of it and warmly invited Shen Mo to sit down.

"Xiao Shen, thank you for accompanying Wenbing and Xiaomei home."

"Just tell me what you want to eat, and Auntie will make it for you."

Shen Mo smiled and waved his hand: "Auntie, you're too kind. We'll eat whatever you have here. I'm not picky about food."

Seeing that he spoke politely, Zhang Wenying felt a sense of goodwill towards him. She also noticed that his eyes were clear and honest, unlike those glib-tongued young men. So she smiled and nodded, then turned and went to the kitchen to get busy.

This child was her youngest daughter's savior, so she naturally had to treat him well.

Li Xiaojuan glanced at her younger sister, whose face was flushed and who was very shy, and alarm bells immediately went off in her mind.

This little sister is only in junior high school, so don't let her be fooled by sweet talk.

Li Xiaomei blushed even more after being looked at by her sister. She lowered her head, twisted the hem of her clothes, and muttered softly, "Sister, don't overthink it. I just think Brother Shen Mo knows a lot and I want to learn more from him."

Li Xiaojuan snorted and whispered in her sister's ear, "Learn something? I think you want to learn something else."

Let's try to minimize contact in the future, so as not to interfere with your studies.

Li Xiaomei glanced at Shen Mo, then quickly lowered her head, her ears turning bright red. Her voice was so soft it was like a mosquito's buzz: "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Shen Mo is my savior, I can't just ignore my benefactor.

Furthermore, the study methods he taught me were really effective; I got first place in the class again in the last monthly exam.

Furthermore, the debt of saving his life is greater than heaven, so I should invite him to my home for a meal.

Don't worry, big sister.

I know what you and Mom are worried about; I understand.

She gets shy easily when she sees Shen Mo, and doesn't have many thoughts in her mind.

My mother went through so much to bring her out of that house.

Even if it's not for herself, she wants to live each day to the fullest, study hard, and give her mother a better life in the future.

As for Shen Mo, she was simply grateful to him and regarded him as a respectable older brother.

She knew in her heart that her primary task right now was to study, not to think about other things.

Moreover, she didn't think of anything else.

Hearing her sister say this, Li Xiaojuan breathed a slight sigh of relief, but still glanced at Shen Mo with a scrutinizing look.

That's good.

My younger sister is still young and doesn't understand things, so as her older sister, I have to keep a close eye on her.

Shen Mo seemed to notice Li Xiaojuan's gaze, looked up and smiled gently at her, then buried his head in his food.

"Wow, Auntie's cooking is so delicious!" Zhang Wenying came out of the kitchen carrying the last dish. Seeing Shen Mo eating with relish, her smile deepened: "Little Shen, eat slowly, there's still more in the pot. Don't just focus on the vegetables, eat more meat. Look how thin you are."

With his mouth full of food, Shen Mo mumbled, "Auntie, your cooking is so delicious, I couldn't resist."

"Please sit down and eat too, don't just keep serving me."

Even if you hire a housekeeper, the food they cook is less than a tenth as good as what you can cook here.

He really loved the food here.

Shen Mo secretly decided that he would definitely come here to freeload meals more often in the future.

Of course, he didn't eat for free; he paid for it.

The investigation into Li Laoda's case is still ongoing.

Zhang Ju would come over to help whenever she had free time.

Zhang Wenying was her savior.

If she hadn't listened to her and called the police, she would have been driven to death by her in-laws.

When Li's parents-in-law heard that Zhang Ju had called the police, they panicked and repeatedly questioned her about why she had called the police.

Because their son is often away from home, they all know where he goes.

Including this time.

Zhang Ju only gave birth to two daughters, and the eldest son's lineage must not be allowed to end.

Fortunately, Widow Zhang is pregnant.
