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

Lying on the comfortable bed, Zhang Wenying took a nice nap before leisurely returning to the courtyard.

When I got to my doorstep, I ran into Sister Li, who had just gotten off work.

"Wenhai's mom, are you off work?"

Sister Li took the initiative to greet him.

"Yeah, I just got back."

Zhang Wenying smiled and responded. Seeing that Sister Li seemed hesitant to speak, she stopped and waited for her to speak.

Sister Li took two steps closer and lowered her voice, saying, "Wenhai's mom, even if you're divorced, don't be too sad. There are plenty of divorced women these days, it's not something shameful."

Living your own life well is better than anything else.

Besides, you'll be more comfortable raising your daughter alone.

That old Li, he really went too far in what he did.

There's nothing wrong with you not wanting him.

If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, just tell your older sister, and I will definitely help if I can.

These past two days, rumors have been spreading all over the neighborhood.

Sister Li was afraid that Zhang Wenying would be upset, so she came to comfort her.

Zhang Wenying felt a warmth in her heart and smiled, "Don't worry, Sister Li, I'm fine."

After leaving that man, my life has become more and more comfortable.

But it's you.

You're about my age, so you'd better work your way up a few more years, then you can just sit back and wait for your paycheck.

Sister Li works at the post office.

The post office won't go out of business; this job is a legitimate, secure one, with a very stable income.

Sister Li sighed and waved her hand, saying, "Don't even mention it. My daughter-in-law is making a fuss about separating the family again, saying that I favor my youngest son. She's always breaking pots and pans at home."

My old bones are exhausted from work, and I still have to put up with bad tempers when I get home.

So I thought I'd give the job to my eldest daughter-in-law so she wouldn't stay home all day doing nothing.

What a terrible mistake! How could I have agreed to let my son marry that troublemaker?

But you never know what people are capable of.

If I pass away one day, this retirement pension will also disappear. It's better to give it to my daughter-in-law, at least she can earn money for a few more years.

When she retires, she can pass it on to my grandchildren.

In the future, the children will have a secure job and a relatively stable life.

I think you shouldn't let things get too tense with your son. Just let your daughter-in-law take over the job, otherwise they'll keep eyeing your work and causing trouble.

Zhang Wenying smiled but didn't respond to that.

In her past life, she sold her job to fund her eldest son's studies abroad.

She'd had enough of living with her palms up to her.

No one can guarantee that your son and daughter-in-law will be filial when you run out of money.

Because of this job, her second and third sons hated her their whole lives, and in the end, they didn't even save up for their retirement.

In this life, she relied on no one but herself.

"Sister Li, you are kind-hearted, but I have my own plans regarding this job."

But you, you have four children, and your third child doesn't have a job.

"If you give the job to your second son's wife, what will happen to the other children?"

Sister Li was also very conflicted.

"I'm helpless too."

So I thought I'd talk to the kids tonight and explain my difficulties to them. I believe they'll understand what I'm doing.

"Sister Li, it's better to rely on yourself than on anyone else."

This job is a secure one, but if you give it to your daughter-in-law, what will you do in the future? Your children each have their own difficulties, but you also need to be guaranteed a comfortable old age.

When we can no longer move, it will be unpleasant to have to ask our children for money again.

It's better to keep this job; having money in hand will give me peace of mind.

If children are truly filial, they won't care whether you have a job or not; if they are not filial, even if you give them mountains of gold and silver, they won't get anything in return.

After hearing this, Sister Li remained silent for a long while before sighing, "You're right, I was confused."

Over the years, I've always been focused on giving my children a good life, and I've forgotten about myself in the process.

I'll do this job myself for now.

Zhang Wenying nodded, knowing that Sister Li had come to her senses.

The hardest thing in life is not to see others clearly, but to see yourself clearly.

Just after parting ways with Sister Li, Zhang Wenying saw someone standing at her door.

The man saw Zhang Wenying and immediately pounced on her.

"You heartless Zhang Wenying, give me back my family's money!"

Pan's mother, Xia Hongjuan, rushed over with tears streaming down her face, her voice so shrill it could be heard throughout the entire alley.

Hearing the commotion, the neighbors quickly opened their doors and windows.

Whether they were sitting in front of the door picking vegetables or standing by the window kneading dough, everyone was craning their necks to look this way.

Zhang Wenying dodged to the side, and Xia Hongjuan missed her target, staggering a couple of steps before regaining her balance.

"Zhang Wenying, you shameless old shrew!"

You swindled our family's money and shamelessly divorced Li Wenhai.

"Give me the money back right now, or I'm not done with you!" Xia Hongjuan said, pointing her finger at Zhang Wenying's nose and cursing after she regained her balance.

Zhang Wenying calmly patted the corner of her clothes, looked up at Xia Hongjuan, and said in a calm but cold tone: "Aunt Pan, your husband broke my head and smashed my things. That's your compensation to me."

If you're not satisfied, we can go to the police station and have a word with them.

Let's see if you're in the wrong, or if I'm trying to extort you.

Xia Hongjuan dared not go to the police station. They were in the wrong that day, and if she went, she might suffer the pain of being detained.

She immediately put her hands on her hips and started throwing a tantrum: "How much is that piece of junk worth? You swindled a whole four hundred and fifty yuan from our family!"

I think you just want a divorce so you can run away with the money and save up for your funeral!

"If you don't give me back the money today, I'll lie down in front of your house and let everyone see how heartless and cruel you are!"

He then started to ram his head against the courtyard gate.

Zhang Wenying had anticipated this move. With a gentle flick of her foot, Xia Hongjuan lost her balance and fell heavily onto the cold cement floor with a "thud," causing her to gasp in pain.

The neighbors who had been watching the commotion couldn't help but burst into laughter. Xia Hongjuan's face turned bright red, and she simply rolled on the ground twice, slapping her thigh and wailing, "She's hitting people! That old shrew who's divorced is hitting people! Is she bullying us Pan family members because we're few in number?!"

Zhang Wenying sneered and raised her voice so that everyone around could hear her clearly: "Everyone saw it. I didn't touch her at all. She lost her balance and fell."

Besides, you were in jail for trespassing.

You also damaged a lot of my household items. What's wrong with paying a few hundred dollars in compensation?

"If you're so capable, don't throw a tantrum. Let's go to the police station right now and let the authorities calculate how much my stuff is really worth!"

The neighbors, who already disliked Xia Hongjuan's arrogant attitude based on her son and husband's recklessness, chimed in after Zhang Wenying's words, "Yes, it was the Pan family who started it by smashing things. Shouldn't they pay some compensation?"

"Exactly, how can you break someone's property and not pay for it? Do you really think people are easy to bully?"

Xia Hongjuan was caught off guard when everyone spoke up for Zhang Wenying, and her sobs subsided.
