Reborn as an 80s-aged woman, her unfilial son begs for forgiveness on his knees.
Chapter 36 Arguing with Reason: One Must Have a Conscience
The old lady sneered and put her teacup on the table: "Are you the pillar of the family?"
I think you're just a debt-bearing pillar! You weren't this filial when your father was alive, but now you're even eyeing your mother's meager savings for your son's overseas education, and you want your wife to sell her job to raise money for your son. Your Li family must be incredibly lucky to have produced such filial sons!
"Grandson, you asked your mother to buy you the job, but have you thought about your younger siblings?"
The old lady knew it perfectly well.
The eldest son and his grandson both followed that deadbeat man of hers.
He's not very capable, but he loves to turn on his own people and always targets his own family.
If it weren't for finding a capable wife like Zhang Wenying back then, life wouldn't have been so prosperous.
Now look what's happened; his wife is gone, and now he's set his sights on this old woman.
Zhang Wenying and her son both have jobs, but they have been struggling to make ends meet all these years, as they have spent all their money on Li Wenhai and their children.
It's not easy for an ordinary family to support a college student.
Now Li Wenhai wants to go abroad to further his education. Where will he get the money?
Two thousand yuan!
She managed to save less than 500 yuan her whole life by being frugal.
Two thousand yuan isn't even worth two thousand yuan if you sold Li Jianguo and Zhang Wenying as pork.
Is this something an eldest son should say?
Zhang Wenying has suffered so much all these years, yet she has never asked her for a single penny. On holidays and festivals, she would even make new clothes for herself and buy her delicious food.
She remembers everything.
"Grandma, these difficulties are only temporary. Just hang in there and they'll pass. Think about it, things will be different when I come back from abroad."
"Hehe, yes, you'll get a promotion and make a fortune when you come back."
But what about your mother?
Your mother has probably been completely drained by you, leaving not even a bone fragment, and is now begging underground.
The old lady was speechless.
While the future of the eldest grandson is important, it shouldn't be traded for the life of his own mother.
Everyone is focused on moving forward, but who has considered how Zhang Wenying has endured all these years?
They even dare to scheme against her savings for her funeral?
If she can't even rely on her own son, how can she possibly expect anything from her grandson?
By the time she passes away, the grass on her grave will have grown three times over, and there probably won't even be anyone left to burn paper money for her.
The old lady felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at her eldest grandson, who was willing to exploit his own mother for his own future.
"My dear grandson, ever since you started school, your mother has tightened her belt to support your education."
To ease the burden on your family, your younger sister voluntarily dropped out of school, giving you the opportunity to go to university.
Your little sister has never worn a new piece of clothing since she was little; she always wears hand-me-downs.
Your second brother is not married yet, and your third brother is still studying.
Your family is hoping you'll become successful and be able to help them out.
To raise you all, your mother had to borrow a lot of money from her own family.
Your aunts would avoid your mother whenever they saw her, for fear that she would ask to borrow money.
Now look at you, asking for two thousand yuan right off the bat, and even wanting your mother to sell her job.
If your mother loses her job, what will happen to your younger siblings? Can you count on your father, who's in such a state?
The old woman's voice grew colder and colder, like ice shards in the dead of winter.
"If your mother really sells her job, this family will fall apart completely. Who will take care of your younger siblings then?"
Don't you know what a dog's nature is like if you own one?
Her eldest son has been selfish since childhood, only caring about himself.
She was ashamed to admit that she was imitating others and behaving inappropriately outside.
Now, this grandson has surpassed his father in every way, becoming even more ruthless.
The old lady sighed, her cloudy eyes filled with disappointment: "Grandson, it's not that I don't love you, but your mother's life can't be wasted like this."
You started a family after you got a job.
The two hundred yuan dowry for your wife, plus the three turns and one sound, thirty-six legs, and the courtyard where you live, were all scraped together by your mother borrowing from all her relatives.
Think about how much money your family has spent to raise you.
Your mother borrowed everything she could and saved everything she could for you.
Now that you're all grown up, you want to fly, but before you fly, you need to think about whether your mother can still stand up.
As she spoke, the old lady became somewhat sad.
The Li family has let Zhang Wenying down.
She's been married into this family for decades and hasn't had a single day of comfort. In the end, she's even being schemed against by her own son.
Good riddance.
Without Zhang Wenying, she wanted to see how the eldest son's family would fare.
The old lady wiped away her tears, her voice hoarse: "If you have any conscience at all, stop pressuring your mother."
Let her live a few years of peaceful and comfortable life; that would be a good deed for your father and your Li family.
After the old lady finished speaking, the courtyard was so quiet that you could hear the ticking of the old wall clock inside the house.
Li Wenhai lowered his head, his expression changing from initial eagerness to resentment, and finally to gloom.
"Grandson, you must have a conscience."
Your mother has suffered enough in her life.
She worked so hard to take care of the household and even helped you find wives.
But your wives, one by one, dare to spit in their mothers-in-law's faces! And you and your wives have been giving most of your salaries to your wives' families. Tell me, is this something a human being would do?
The old woman's voice trembled, as if her long-suppressed anger had finally found an outlet.
Li Wenhai immediately became anxious, quickly glancing at his wife's unpleasant expression and then at the old lady.
"Grandma, that salary isn't given for nothing."
My parents-in-law work very hard helping us take care of the kids; we can't let them do all that for free, can we?
"Your mom didn't have a hard time raising you?"
Which child wasn't born after a mother went through countless hardships and then raised with great care and effort?
"Your wife's family is your blood, but your mother isn't?"
The old woman grew angrier as she spoke, slamming her withered hand on the back of the chair. "You two, how much do you earn a month? How much do you give to your wife's family? How much do you give to your mother? Don't you have any idea?"
You haven't given your mother a single penny!
Not only did they not give anything, but they also took it for granted that they would bring your wife home for meals and drinks, watching your mother serve you. After the meal, she didn't even bother to take a bowl to the kitchen. Just how much does your mother owe the Li family?!
Li Wenhai's neck and face turned red from the scolding. He opened his mouth but couldn't say a word in rebuttal for a long time. He Caifeng, who was listening from the side, was even more indignant. She stuck out her neck and said, "Grandma, Mom's job is very easy. She has nothing to do when she gets home. What's wrong with us going home for a few meals?"
Besides, my workplace is so busy, I don't have time to do housework.
"fart!
You go to work, and your mother-in-law goes to work too!
Who isn't tired when they get home from get off work?
"Your mother's meager salary has all gone into this bottomless pit of yours. She scrimps and saves on food and clothing for herself, cooking meat for you every meal, and you two, on the other hand, eat yourselves up healthy and rosy-cheeked, while your mother starves until she's pale and thin. Now you even want to sell your mother-in-law to raise money for your husband to go abroad. Has your conscience been stolen by a dog?"
