Reborn as an 80s-aged woman, her unfilial son begs for forgiveness on his knees.
Chapter 18 What Kind of Reputation Do You Want: Real Money is What Matters
Hehe, by tomorrow, she'll spread the word about the Li family's affairs so that everyone in Haicheng knows about it.
"Oh, it's He Caifeng who got beaten up."
That woman deserves to be hit.
He's always putting on airs, acting all high and mighty and looking down on everyone.
Listen to her screams, it sounds like a pig being slaughtered, she deserves it.
"But a brother-in-law shouldn't hit his sister-in-law."
"What can't we fight?"
I heard it very clearly.
The eldest son of the Li family gave half of his salary to the He family; no wonder the second son of the Li family was unhappy about that.
"Then they deserve it."
Not only did they give money to the He family, but the eldest son and his wife also took a lot of good things from the old house. No wonder the second son of the Li family made a fuss; I would have made a fuss too if I were in their shoes.
Wang Dalaba got more and more excited as he talked, his spittle almost flying over the wall.
He Caifeng cried even harder: "There's not a single good person in your Li family! I've had the worst luck of my life to marry into your family!"
She cried as she pointed at Li Laoda, "My parents work so hard to take care of our children, and they still have to endure criticism. What's wrong with them getting some money? It's what they deserve!"
"If you're so capable, let your parents take care of it!"
Feeling ashamed, Li Wenhai hid in the main room and stopped talking.
Li Lao Er spat on the ground and sneered, "Is it because my parents don't take care of the children?"
After you gave birth to Xiaoming, my mom offered to help you take care of him. You were worried that if my mom lost her job, you wouldn't have anywhere to eat, and you were even more worried that my mom wouldn't be able to take good care of the child, so you insisted that your own mother come and help. Now you're turning around and blaming me? You're really good at turning the tables!
Li Lao Er got angrier and angrier as he spoke, pointing at He Caifeng's nose: "My brother's monthly salary is ninety-eight yuan, and your mother takes forty-nine yuan a month to take care of the child. She also has to ask my mother for money for the child's milk powder from time to time."
The remaining forty-nine yuan, you and Li Wenhai have never given a single penny to your parents, and even your children have been raised to be distant from us, refusing to even call us grandpa and grandma when we meet.
"He Caifeng, I know it was wrong of me to hit you, but every single thing you've done has been a stab in the heart of the Li family! My brother may be confused, but I'm not!" Li Lao Er's words were forceful and resounding, leaving He Caifeng speechless and only able to sob. Li Lao Da hung his head, his face turning pale and then red, but he never dared to look up at his younger brother.
He didn't know why things had turned out this way.
When my mother was home, although the family was poor, the laughter of the whole family sitting together to eat could be heard from far away.
But as soon as his mother left, the brothers in the family turned against each other, and his once docile wife became someone he didn't recognize at all.
He was caught in the middle, torn between two equally dear people, yet he couldn't appease either side.
My mom is really something. She's so old, yet she still insists on divorcing my dad, causing chaos in the house.
Is she tired of living a peaceful life and has to stir up some trouble to be satisfied?
Now that things have turned out this way, his chances of going abroad are in jeopardy, his family's reputation is ruined, and he can't even hold his head up at work.
The more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt.
Why should he have to bear all the consequences of his mother's momentary whim?
He's the most innocent person in this family!
That night, Zhang Wenying slept soundly.
But Li Jianguo and the others tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
In the morning, Zhang Wenying was full of energy. She got up and made pancakes, adding a lot of braised meat to them, and also cooked millet porridge.
One bite, and Li Xiaomei smacked her lips in delight at the aroma.
"Mom, your cooking is amazing! It tastes even better than noodles from restaurants!"
Li Xiaomei gave a thumbs-up as she ate.
Zhang Wenying smiled and put another piece of meat on her plate.
"Eat more, you're so thin."
Li Xiaomei chuckled and buried her head in her food.
She finally realized that her mother was truly different from before.
My mother used to be always busy with the stove and housework. She didn't talk much, and she would swallow her grievances. She wasn't very kind to me.
But now, her eyes shine, and she has her own ideas about what she says and does.
She is no longer anyone's appendage, but truly living her own life.
This kind of mother made her feel both unfamiliar and proud.
She even had a vague feeling that her mother's divorce might not be such a bad thing after all.
At least, the smile on her mother's face was the most genuine she had seen in all these years.
The two went out happily, but they ran into Wang Dazui after only a few steps.
"Oh my, isn't this Wenhai's mom? I heard you got divorced?"
Why are you getting divorced at your age?
Isn't that how we get through life? Just bear with it and it will pass, why make such a fuss?
If word gets out, it won't do you any good for your reputation.
Wang Dazui had a loud voice, and his eyes were full of schadenfreude and curiosity.
Zhang Wenying smacked her lips calmly and smiled faintly: "Sister Wang, you've endured your whole life, only to find out in the end that what you've gained through endurance is not happiness, but resentment."
I'm too old for this; I don't want to make myself suffer anymore.
"After the divorce, I actually feel relieved."
What good reputation do you need?
In her past life, everyone praised her for being virtuous, capable, and a good wife and mother.
Everyone says she poured her heart and soul into her children, helping her three sons achieve great things. But what was the end result? What became of her?
He lay alone in his hospital bed, dying from the excruciating pain.
Compared to real silver, reputation is nothing!
"Sister Wang, instead of wasting your energy here prying into other people's affairs, you should keep an eye on your two good-for-nothing sons and stop them from idling around all day doing nothing but petty theft."
After Zhang Wenying finished speaking, she pulled Li Xiaomei away, leaving Wang Dazui standing there, his face turning ashen with anger, unable to utter a single word in rebuttal.
Her two good-for-nothing sons were indeed a source of great distress for her.
When the eldest son returned from the countryside, he brought back a country wife and a dark-skinned little granddaughter.
Jobs are hard to find these days, and the eldest son's family lives off their parents all day long, making them a laughing stock in the area.
The second son was even more unreliable, getting into fights every few days and ending up in the police station several times.
Wang Da Zui Ba loves to gossip and hates it when people mention her two sons.
Zhang Wenying's words hit her right where it hurt, leaving her stunned for a long time.
Wang Dazui stared fiercely at Zhang Wenying's back, and after a long while, spat a mouthful of phlegm at her.
Shameless old shrew, unchaste and still so arrogant even after divorce. Let's see how long she can be so smug!
Zhang Wenying didn't care about Wang Dazui's resentment.
She took her daughter to school, then checked the progress of the shop's renovation, and went to the mansion to tidy up the yard.
There are two flower beds in this courtyard, one in front of the main house and the other next to the side room.
Next year, one of us will plant flowers and the other will plant vegetables, so we can enjoy both at the same time.
Look, as long as a person is willing to break free and not only focus on their children and men, she is the one living a comfortable life, she is the one enjoying happiness, and she is also the one who becomes rich overnight.
