Reborn as an 80s-aged woman, her unfilial son begs for forgiveness on his knees.
Chapter 29 Mom will listen to you: Don't worry about that.
Han's father gritted his teeth, looked up at the instructor, and said in a trembling voice, "Instructor, we...we admit our mistake, we'll pay for the medical expenses, and we're willing to apologize, but could you...could you leave us some leeway? We really didn't mean to cause trouble."
Li Wenhai, who was listening from the side, curled his lip and thought to himself, "Why didn't you do this earlier? Why didn't you leave any room for maneuver when you made your move?"
This old guy just punched him in the lungs, almost suffocating him.
Finally, the Han family paid Zhang Wenying two hundred yuan in compensation, and the matter was considered closed.
The old lady stared longingly at the thick wad of money, her gaze fixed intently on Zhang Wenying.
Zhang Wenying found it amusing and stuffed five ten-yuan bills into the old lady's pocket, also giving her two cans of food and a can of malted milk powder.
"Mom, as long as you listen to me, I'll always think of you when good things happen in the future."
The old woman clutched the money and the canned food, and her cloudy eyes shone with boundless light.
She nodded repeatedly and said, "Yingzi, Mom will listen to you, I'll listen to everything you say."
This money is so easy to make!
But this daughter-in-law is a bit too stingy, only giving her fifty, which is a bit... too little.
"Yingzi, everyone says we should split it in half when we meet, but look at this money..."
Zhang Wenying looked at her mother-in-law with amusement.
"Mom, is it not enough?"
"I'll hit you on the head and crack your skull open, then I'll pay you two hundred yuan. Do you want to do it?"
Upon hearing this, the old lady quickly stuffed the money back into her pocket and said with an embarrassed smile, "No, no, fifty is enough."
That's fifty!
Even her sons might not be able to give her fifty yuan a year.
She just lay on the ground for a while and then lay in the hospital for a while, and she earned fifty yuan and so many good things. The old lady was very happy and thought that although this daughter-in-law was sharp-tongued, she was really generous. She should try to get along well with her in the future.
"Mom, aren't you going to stand up for your eldest grandson?"
Zhang Wenying looked at her with a half-smile, her tone carrying a hint of mockery.
Her father-in-law passed away early, and her mother-in-law has been living in the countryside with her second son and his wife, rarely coming to the city in recent years.
The fact that she came here with that scoundrel Li Wenhai must have been instigated by the eldest son and his wife. They wanted to use the old lady to put pressure on her and force her to sell her job and share the money with them.
The old lady adores her eldest grandson.
It wasn't just because of his eldest grandson, but also because Li Wenhai was the only college graduate in the Li family.
With her eldest grandson around, the old lady walks with a swagger in the village, her back straighter than anyone else's.
Now that Zhang Wenying had asked her this, she immediately felt a little embarrassed.
"My eldest grandson insisted on taking me to the city to stay for a few days, and he even said that you and my good-for-nothing eldest son had divorced."
Wenying, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but our eldest son does have a lot of bad habits. However, if we women don't have a man by our side, life won't be easy in the future.
She is the widow pulling the doll; only those who have experienced it know the hardships and difficulties she faced.
"Mom, I can't agree with what you're saying," Zhang Wenying said with a faint smile.
Having a man doesn't necessarily make life better, and not having a man doesn't necessarily make life worse.
Mom, you probably know Li Jianguo better than I do what kind of person he is.
I'm willing to sacrifice anything for that family.
But he can't take my efforts for granted, and he certainly can't cheat on me with other women.
The day Pan Wenfang entered the house, she not only made a few young men strip off my outer clothes, but also made me kneel down before my daughter-in-law who had not yet entered the house, while wearing a sign, and said that serving my daughter-in-law was an honor.
Mom, tell me, how can there be such a logic in this world?
I, Zhang Wenying, have been married into the Li family for over thirty years. I have worked hard, if not made any great contributions. Why should I suffer this humiliation?
But Li Jianguo considered such humiliation a joke, a trivial matter.
Not only did he not speak up for me, but he also kept accusing me of being unreasonable and demanding that I apologize to Pan Wenfang.
Mom, I'm a human being too. I've done more than enough by using my own blood and bones to make soup for such a large family.
If I hadn't been heartbroken to the extreme, would I have torn apart my perfectly good family and abandoned my own child?
Their actions have truly broken my heart.
In all the years I've been married into the Li family, you're the only one who's ever said a few good words for me during holidays and festivals.
I will always remember this kindness.
"As long as you're willing, you'll always be my mom."
Upon hearing this, the old lady's eyes immediately reddened. She took Zhang Wenying's hand and said in a choked voice, "Wenying, it's my fault for not raising my son well. You've suffered such a great injustice."
If you're divorced, then you're divorced.
"It's better that you're divorced. Mom doesn't blame you."
She wiped away her tears and sighed, "The eldest son's personality is just like his father's; he'll never change."
But Wenying, how will you manage to live alone in this city?
Is work tiring? Is the money enough to live on?
As the old lady spoke, she reluctantly took out the fifty yuan.
"You've had it tough too."
Take this money, consider it... compensation from your mother.
I feel so sorry for her!
The money was stuffed into my pocket, and I hadn't even had a chance to warm it up yet.
Looking at the fifty yuan, Zhang Wenying was filled with mixed emotions.
She gently pushed the money back, her tone gentle yet firm: "Mom, you keep this money."
I appreciate your kind offer, but you're getting on in years and need to have some money to fall back on.
"I have plenty of money here, don't worry."
The old lady quickly stuffed the money back into her pocket, thinking to herself, "Do you think you're short of money?"
They also extorted several hundred yuan from the Pan family.
"Mom, please stay here. My place isn't big, but it's clean and tidy. You can stay as long as you like."
Zhang Wenying held the old lady's hand, her eyes full of sincerity.
The old lady glanced at her sideways, then turned and left.
"I heard that my eldest grandson's place is very spacious, so I'll go stay there for a few days to take a look."
He always says he wants to be filial to me, so I'm going to go and enjoy his good fortune.
I heard he has a TV, a radio, and an electric fan at home; I have to go and see for myself.
There isn't a single television set in the village yet, because there's no electricity.
I heard that thing is amazing; you can see people's shadows moving inside it.
As for the eldest brother going abroad...
Do what you are capable of.
It's not easy for a woman to live a life alone, so don't worry about it.
If he's really capable, he should figure it out himself and stop eyeing your hard-earned money.
The old lady walked away quickly with her bound feet.
Zhang Wenying watched the old lady's departing figure, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
The old lady was sensible and understood her difficulties.
Perhaps it's because the old lady herself had endured hardship and knew how difficult it was for a woman to support a family on her own.
Zhang Wenying stood there, motionless for a long time.
She suddenly realized that the most precious thing in the world is not gold and silver, but a heart that understands and empathizes with others.
Even after divorcing Li Wenhai, she would never forget this old lady.
