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

He bent over perfunctorily, but when he straightened up, his smile remained, though he changed the subject: "But in-laws, the affairs of our two families are ultimately the children's affairs."

You see, even though Han Jun and Xiao Juan are divorced, Junzi still has Xiao Juan in his heart.

My child has no appetite and loses his appetite all day long, which breaks my heart to see him like this.

You know, men are sometimes stubborn but soft-hearted; they know to correct their mistakes.

So, he asked me to come over and apologize to Xiaojuan, hoping she would come back and live a good life with him.

After hearing this, Zhang Wenying curled her lips into a cold smile, quickly finished the rice in her bowl, and put her chopsticks on the table.

"Whatever it is, let's talk after we finish eating."

We haven't prepared any meals for outsiders, please wait a moment.

The smile on Han's mother's face froze for a moment.

That old slut, she really doesn't know any manners.

So, when distinguished guests arrive, they're just left to watch?

The food in front of her smelled delicious. Han's mother swallowed hard, her eyes fixed on the plate of braised pork on the table, inwardly cursing Zhang Wenying for being tactless.

Zhang Wenying is quite a good cook.

She had eaten at the Li family's house a few years ago.

With the same ingredients, Zhang Wenying's dishes always taste better than others', thanks to a little effort.

Seeing this, the others quickly finished their meal, cleared away the dishes, and left only a pot of tea on the table.

Han's mother's face stiffened again.

That old hag is so ruthless! Knowing that she and her son hadn't eaten yet, she didn't even offer them a cup of tea. She showed them absolutely no mercy.

She owns a restaurant herself, so what's wrong with treating them to a meal?

Even if they are thick-skinned, they are too embarrassed to ask for food.

The mother and son sat on a bench, waiting idly.

The aroma of braised pork filled the restaurant. Han's mother's stomach rumbled, which she quickly covered up with a cough.

Han Jun lowered his head, nervously fidgeting with the hem of his clothes, his heart pounding with anxiety.

He glanced at Li Xiaojuan furtively, only to see her clearing the table of dishes, not even giving him a proper look.

Han Jun was furious at the way Zhang Wenying's family behaved.

But in order to coax Li Xiaojuan back, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and say, "Xiaojuan, I was confused and stupid before. I apologize to you here."

Look, our two families know each other very well. As long as you're willing to go back, I'll move out of my parents' house and give you my monthly salary to manage.

How much salary does he actually have?

Li Xiaojuan's shop earns more every day than he does in a month.

Li Xiaojuan glanced at Han Jun and felt utterly disgusted.

Just two days ago, he was belittling her, but today he's shamelessly coming to her door again.

Li Xiaojuan didn't speak, but looked at her mother.

Zhang Wenying poured herself a glass of water, took a slow sip, and then said, "What do you want to say? Now."

When Han's mother saw that Zhang Wenying had finally spoken, she quickly cleared her throat and put on a flattering smile: "Auntie, look at the mess this has made."

To be honest, Junzi and I came to pick Xiaojuan up and take her back.

Xiaojuan has been back at her parents' home for several months now.

With no woman at home for the past few months, Junzi hasn't even had a hot meal, and he's lost a lot of weight.

I know Junzi was wrong before, but he knows he was wrong. That's why I brought him here today so that he can apologize to Xiaojuan in front of you.

If he acts recklessly again, I'll be the first to object. How about that?

Besides, it's not good for a married daughter to always stay at her parents' home.

Women, when they get older, will eventually have to leave their parents' home; otherwise, people will gossip about them.

After listening, Zhang Wenying put down her teacup and smiled slowly: "Sister-in-law Han, my daughter and I are not afraid of what others will say."

Gossip is something you get used to after hearing it a lot; it won't hurt you or cause you any harm.

My daughter has been married into your family for three years and hasn't gotten pregnant yet. Didn't your family already dislike her because she's a barren hen?

How much gossip have the neighbors been saying?

Back then, didn't you all not care either?

So, as long as you don't care about gossip, it doesn't matter what others say.

My daughter is doing well now, her shop is thriving, and she's much more energetic. Isn't that better than suffering in your house?

Han's mother was speechless.

She didn't expect Zhang Wenying to use Li Xiaojuan's lack of children to refute her.

Is it something to be proud of for a woman not to have children?

Actually, she wanted her second son to marry her widowed sister-in-law, which would save her the bride price.

But the second brother refused, saying that he only had Li Xiaojuan in his heart and that being good to his widowed sister-in-law was just his responsibility.

But Han's mother also knew that if her second son really married his widowed sister-in-law, it would confirm the gossip about them.

"Oh dear, mother-in-law, what are you saying?"

Xiaojuan is still young and in good health; she'll have plenty of opportunities in the future.

As long as the two children live together, isn't it just a matter of time before they have children?

Besides, Junzi has already promised me that he will treat Xiaojuan well from now on and will never let her suffer any grievances.

"oh?

move out?

Where to move to?

Who pays the monthly rent?

Han's mother's face fell.

That old bitch, don't think she doesn't know.

Right after Li Xiaojuan got divorced, Zhang Wenying spent money to buy her a large courtyard house.

The second brother secretly went to check out that big courtyard; there were at least five rooms and a large vegetable garden.

If the second son moves in, the elderly couple will eventually be able to move in and enjoy their retirement.

Li Xiaojuan can still make money, a lot of money.

If she remarries her son, all her money will belong to the Han family.

But Zhang Wenying's aggressive behavior has greatly displeased Han's mother.

"Mother-in-law, this is a matter between the two children. As elders, let's not interfere."

As long as they move out, it's their business who pays for the rent.

Besides, Junzi is a grown man, how could he expect his wife to pay for everything?

If he doesn't even have this much sense of responsibility, then I have no face to bring this up again.

Let's get them back first.

Zhang Wenying picked up her teacup, gently blew away the foam, took a slow sip, and then put the cup down, looking calmly at Han's mother: "Sister-in-law Han, you make it sound so easy."

My daughter Xiaojuan suffered terribly at your house. People outside, because of your family's propaganda, say that my daughter is a barren hen.

Look, these are the test results I got from the clinic with my daughter. The doctor said in person that my daughter Xiaojuan is in very good health and there is absolutely no possibility that she cannot have children.

Then tell me, my Xiaojuan has been living in your house for three years, how come she hasn't gotten pregnant?

"This question is probably best asked of your son, Junzi."

As Zhang Wenying spoke, she took out a few sheets of paper from the drawer and placed them in front of Han's mother.
