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

Chapter 17 A Fight Broke Out: Soft-heartedness Doesn't Bring Gratitude

Li Wenjun was furious when he heard this.

They kept the fact that they were sending wages to their parents' family a secret from everyone.

Li Wenjun then realized that his mother had indeed been treated unfairly all these years at home.

Not only do they have to feed and care for the eldest son's family, but they also have to pay for their grandson's milk powder.

He Caifeng is still saying outside that her mother doesn't take care of the children, and how hard her own mother works to take care of them.

Now it seems that taking care of the child was just an excuse, a pretext that He Caifeng made up to support her family!

Half of my brother's salary, that's forty-nine yuan!

Forty-nine yuan is enough for their family to eat for a month.

"That's right, brother."

Your parents spent a lot of money to send you to university.

You earned money but didn't give it to your family. Instead, you gave it to the He family and even brought the He family's parents to live with you.

Are you getting married, or are you moving in with your husband's family?

"Third brother, who gives you the right to speak here?"

I gave a bride price when I married your sister-in-law.

Li Wenhai's face was flushed, his expression full of resentment.

He Caifeng knew she had spoken the truth out of anger, and now she didn't know how to defend herself.

"Shut up, all of you!"

What kind of noise is this!

Boss, that's not right of you.

We are very grateful to your parents-in-law for helping you take care of the child.

But if you give them half of your salary and still take things from home, that's just outrageous.

The money you earned belongs to the Li family, not the He family.

Looking at his eldest son, whom he had always been so proud of, Li Jianguo felt nothing but disappointment.

They had poured all their resources into supporting this college student, but this son not only didn't contribute a single penny to the family, but also came back to take advantage of them and go to serve those two old geezers in the He family. How could they not be disappointed?

"Dad, He's parents have suffered a lot in the countryside, we can't just abandon them..."

"Boss, stop making excuses."

Were He's parents missing limbs?

Are they out of labor?

The other five sons of the He family are all heartless bastards; can't they even support their own parents?

"Li Jianguo, you're the heartless one, you've lost your hands and feet!"

My parents help me take care of my child, and they work hard day and night. What's wrong with us giving them some money?

"You didn't even help me take care of my child, so why are you cursing my family like that!"

He Caifeng refused to listen to this.

No one should dare to bully her parents!

Li Jianguo was taken aback by He Caifeng's fierceness.

Unexpectedly, He Caifeng actually dared to point her finger at her father-in-law and curse him!

"You've worked your whole life, but when your son urgently needs money, you can't come up with a single penny."

Tell us where all your money went!

Wenhai at least gave his money to my parents, but what about yours?

He's probably already been drained dry by some wild woman outside!

The next moment, two "slap" sounds were heard, and then Li Lao Er and He Cai Feng started fighting.

Li Lao Er was already angry, and when he saw that He Cai Feng dared to curse his father, he rushed up and slapped He Cai Feng twice.

"I don't want to live anymore! My brother-in-law beat his sister-in-law! Is there no justice in this world?!"

Hearing the commotion next door, Zhang Wenying chuckled and then urged her daughter to do her homework while she went to the kitchen to prepare the braising liquid.

The longer the braising liquid is cooked, the richer and more fragrant the flavor becomes.

In her past life, she was able to build a large business thanks to this pot of old braising broth.

She knew that instead of wasting her energy on pointless arguments, she should focus on things that could truly change her life.

She added star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, and other spices to the pot one by one, and simmered it over a low flame. The rising steam carried a rich aroma that seemed to dispel the noise and hostility coming from next door.

The shop has already started renovations, and she plans to fully develop the flavor of the braising broth before it opens.

As for the Li family's messy affairs, she couldn't be bothered with them. As long as they didn't cause trouble in front of her, she would just pretend she didn't hear them.

But things didn't go as planned; the noise from next door not only didn't stop, but it got even worse.

He Caifeng's shrill cries pierced the wall, followed by the sound of things being smashed and broken, mixed with Li Lao Er's furious roars.

A short while later, someone knocked on the courtyard gate.

Zhang Wenying frowned, walked over and opened the courtyard gate. Standing outside was her third brother, Li Wenbing, who was still in shock.

"mom········"

Li Wenbing looked pitiful.

"Mom, my second brother and sister-in-law are fighting, and my eldest brother has joined in. My second brother is almost beaten to death by my eldest brother and sister-in-law."

You should go and try to persuade them!

Li Wenbing's voice was trembling with tears, clearly indicating that he was quite frightened by the scene.

Zhang Wenying merely glanced at him indifferently.

"What's there to advise them about? They are reaping the consequences of their own actions."

Zhang Wenying spoke calmly, as if he were talking about a trivial matter that had nothing to do with him.

"When I went, they felt that I, as their mother, was being biased."

Where's your dad? Isn't he the one who loves to uphold justice?

Li Wenbing shrank back. His father… he was so angry he went back inside, saying, “Let them beat me to death, that’s enough. Out of sight, out of mind.”

Zhang Wenying sneered.

That old man is just like that; he only knows how to avoid trouble, dump the mess on others, and pretend to be a nice guy.

"Go back, I can't handle this."

As Zhang Wenying finished speaking, she was about to close the door when Li Wenbing hurriedly reached out to block the crack in the door, pleading, "Mom, I haven't eaten yet, I..."

"Go find your dad if you haven't eaten."

This isn't a restaurant, nor is it the Li family's logistics department.

Zhang Wenying interrupted him, her eyes showing no pity whatsoever, "You should go back now, I'm going to sleep."

In her past life, she would have softened her heart long ago.

After all, the child was her own flesh and blood, and she always wanted to help as much as she could.

But what did they get in return? Nothing more than their taking it for granted and their behavior becoming even more outrageous.

In this life, she saw through it all.

Being soft-hearted won't earn you gratitude; it will only drag you back into that bottomless pit.

Zhang Wenying closed the door, shutting out the cries and pleas from outside.

She leaned against the door and took a deep breath. The aroma of braised spices filled the air, gradually calming her restless heart.

Zhang Wenying walked back to the stove, picked up a long ladle and gently stirred the dark brown broth in the pot, then added two pounds of washed pork to the pot.

My daughter is very tired from school, so I have to make sure she eats well and gets enough nutrition.

As for those troublesome sons, they won't die from missing a meal or two.

The neighbors heard the commotion and rushed over, which separated the three people fighting.

He Caifeng sat on the ground, her hair disheveled, wailing loudly. Li Lao Er had bruises on his face, and Li Lao Da's image as a refined scoundrel was gone, his clothes were torn crooked, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Old Li, what are you guys doing this time?"

"This family is fighting like this; aren't they afraid of being laughed at if word gets out?"

Wang Dalaba was watching with great interest from the top of the wall.

The Li family has certainly put on quite a show.

No sooner had Zhang Wenying filed for divorce than Li's two sons started fighting.
