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

Sister Liu followed the registration procedure and, in front of the neighbors, inventoried and recorded all of the Li family's joint property. She said that when Li the eldest returned, she would notify him to complete the divorce procedures. If he did not return, she would follow the public notice procedure and the divorce would still be finalized.

Seeing that Sister Liu handled things fairly, Zhang Ju finally felt relieved after so many years. She bowed deeply to Sister Liu, tears streaming down her face.

This time, however, the tears were tears of relief.

Who says she can't live without a man?

As long as she manages her business well, she can still live a prosperous life.

If Sister Zhang can make a living after her divorce, so can she!

Shen Mingyuan brought the old general to the restaurant for dinner again.

As soon as the old general entered the door, his gaze fell on his daughter, his eyes filled with affection.

He's been in a great mood these past few days.

Many people said behind his back that he would have no descendants, but unexpectedly, he not only had a daughter, but also a son and a grandson.

When Zhang Wenying saw her father, her feelings were actually quite complicated.

She harbored some resentment towards her father.

Because the father raised other people's children, but never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father to them for even a single day.

But at the same time, she felt sorry for her father.

He fought for his country his whole life, was separated from his wife and children, and only found his biological children in his later years.

She couldn't bear to criticize this belated reunion any further.

"Old man..."

These three words instantly plunged the old general's excited mood into despair.

The daughter has already confirmed that they are father and daughter, so why does she still call him by such an unfamiliar name?

The old general's lips trembled slightly; he seemed to want to say something, but then swallowed it back.

Seeing this, Shen Mingyuan quickly smoothed things over: "Comrade Zhang, the old general hasn't had it easy these past few years. Please, for the sake of his sincerity, call him 'Dad'."

Zhang Wenying remained silent for a moment, and finally, she raised her head and met the old general's wrinkled but expectant eyes.

Suddenly, she smiled.

"Dad, what would you like to eat?"

The old general had waited for this one "Dad" for over forty years.

His eyes welled up with tears, and his voice choked as he said, "Daughter, Dad isn't picky about food. I like anything you make."

As the old general finished speaking, he raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corner of his eyes. Looking at his daughter, whose features resembled his deceased wife by seven-tenths, the guilt and longing that had accumulated in his heart for decades finally eased a little.

Looking at the white hair at her father's temples, Zhang Wenying felt a lump in her throat and quickly turned to the kitchen to arrange the dishes, trying not to let anyone see the tears that were falling from her eyes.

Shen Mingyuan sat down with the old general and whispered to him about Zhang Wenying's recent situation. He said that she was diligent and her shop was thriving, and her two nieces were sensible and studious. The old general listened and nodded repeatedly, the smile in his eyes never fading.

Before long, the steaming hot dishes were served. The old general praised them after every bite, saying they were even better than those made by chefs in big restaurants. This brought a smile to Zhang Wenying's face, a smile she hadn't seen in a long time.

After the meal, the old general took Zhang Wenying's hand and took out a small cloth bag wrapped in red cloth from his pocket. Inside was a pure gold longevity lock and a ledger containing a lot of money: "Daughter, I have never prepared a dowry for you before, nor have I ever cared for you for a single day. Take this and give it to your two nieces to add to their dowries. Consider it a small token of my appreciation."

Zhang Wenying refused to accept it, pushing it back and forth, until finally the old general's eyes reddened, and she blushed as she accepted it.

"Dad, it's not convenient for you to live alone."

I have a big yard here, you can move in and live with me if you don't like.

When I have some free time, I'll bring my older brother over too, so our whole family can have a proper reunion.

Upon hearing this, the old general's eyes welled up with tears again, and he waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Daughter, Dad knows you are filial."

But without a family reunion banquet, Dad always felt uneasy.

You've also been to the house near the retirement home.

Dad had the house over there renovated, and you can choose the furniture inside.

I feel ashamed to face you and your brother all these years because I feel so guilty.

"Dad doesn't have anything particularly impressive to offer, so I just wanted to keep the house clean and bright so you two siblings could come back and stay."

Seeing the old man's cautious yet expectant expression, the last bit of lingering resentment in Zhang Wenying's heart completely melted away.

She gently patted the old general's hand, a feeling of filial piety welling up within her.

"Dad, please don't say that. We're family, there's nothing to be sorry about."

Taking good care of your health is more important than anything else.

"You decide on the date for the family reunion banquet; my elder brother and I will follow your lead."

My father was lonely his whole life, and he searched for them his whole life. That's enough.

After the country is stable, there are many people who abandon their wives and children, but it is rare to see someone like my father who, after achieving success, still longs to find his former family.

Beside her, Old Lady Li was so surprised that Zhang Wenying actually had a father who rode in a military vehicle that she couldn't stop smiling.

The reason the boss dared to take action against Zhang Wenying all those years was because Zhang Wenying had no one backing her up.

Although Zhang Hongyuan cared deeply for his younger sister, he was just an honest, simple farmer who didn't dare say a harsh word to her when he came to the city, let alone stand up for her.

Now that Zhang Wenying has such a high-ranking official as her father, if the eldest son knew, he would probably be kicking himself.

The old lady was genuinely happy for Zhang Wenying, but also secretly cursed her son for being blind to her worth.

If he knew Zhang Wenying's father was a high-ranking official, what kind of expression would he have...?

Li Jianguo waited for several days, but Li Wenhai still didn't report any news about Zhang Wenying to him.

He was furious, so he went to settle accounts with Zhang Wenying.

Zhang Wenying, have you no shame?!

It seems what others said was true; you really have found a man outside.

What, you can't fit your family in here, so you've moved to someone else's house with my mother and daughter? Have you no shame?!

The thought of Zhang Wenying chatting and flirting with other men made Li Jianguo furious.

He came home to a cold and empty house, while Zhang Wenying was out doing laundry and cooking for another man. How could he swallow this insult?

Zhang Wenying, while cooking the meat in the pot, sneered without looking up: "Li Jianguo, don't you still have Ma Hongping?"

"If you can't eat, ask her to cook for you. What's wrong with you coming here like this?"

Li Jianguo was so choked up that his face turned pale and then red. He stuck out his neck and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense to me!"

Ma Hongping is Ma Hongping, and I am me. I don't know her at all!

"Not familiar with her? Then why do you keep going to her house every other day? Do you think I'm blind or stupid?"

Next time you go into her yard, should I set off a string of firecrackers outside her gate so everyone can be witnesses?
