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

This is Li Wenhai's home at this time.

"Wenhai, when do you think Mom will send the money over to us?"

Your trip abroad can't be delayed any longer. If it goes on any longer, your employer might really give the spot to someone else.

Li Wenhai, who had just gotten off work, was completely bewildered by He Caifeng's question.

"What money?" Li Wenhai took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, looking at his wife with a puzzled expression.

He Caifeng rolled her eyes at him and said in a low voice, "Grandma said she supports you going abroad."

Once she gives her support, she'll definitely help us and Mom ask for the money.

He Caifeng spoke lightly, as if she could already see the money in her hands.

Li Wenhai frowned, a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Grandma said she supported him going abroad, but she didn't say she would give him money.

Besides, his mother goes crazy whenever she sees him, either hitting or cursing him. I don't know what's wrong with her.

Should we make her give us the money?

That's probably harder than climbing to heaven.

Li Wenhai sighed, sat down on the sofa, and rubbed his temples: "Caifeng, don't think too simply."

"My mom's in that state now, she doesn't even recognize me, how could she possibly give me money? Besides, it's not even certain she has any money at all."

My mom only earns that little bit of money a month, and she has to support herself and my sister. How much money can she possibly save?

Although Grandma verbally supports it, it might not be so easy for her to actually spend money.

My uncles all live in the countryside, struggling to make ends meet, so I have no spare money to lend them.

He Caifeng disagreed, and pouted, "You're just too honest."

Grandma has agreed, so how dare your mother disobey?

Besides, even if your mother is crazy, would she not listen to her grandmother?

Grandma is her mother-in-law; if she dares not give it to her, that would be unfilial.

He Caifeng became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, as if she had already paved the way for Li Wenhai.

For a moment, she felt that it was worth it to let this old geezer lord it over the house for so many days.

"Alright, that's enough."

Check if the food is ready.

Don't let Grandma go hungry.

Soon after, the food was served.

Today I made braised pork again, along with a plate of tomato and egg, and a bowl of steamed eggs.

Steamed eggs are specially prepared for Grandma; she has bad teeth, and these are soft and easy to eat.

The old lady picked up the bowl without hesitation, took a bite of braised pork with her chopsticks, chewed it a couple of times, and nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm, this meat is stewed until tender, and tastes good."

These steamed eggs are delicious, savory, smooth, and tender.

Granddaughter-in-law, your cooking skills are quite good.

"This year, you'll be in charge of cooking the New Year's Eve dinner at home."

Upon hearing this, He Caifeng's smile froze instantly.

New Year's Eve dinner? Does that mean she has to cook for the whole family by herself?

The Li family doesn't have much property, but they have quite a few people. They have several uncles and aunts, plus cousins, making at least twenty people.

In previous years, my mother-in-law and several aunts took turns cooking the New Year's Eve dinner. Why did it fall to her this year?

Moreover, asking someone who works in the city to serve a bunch of peasants is really outrageous of her.

He Caifeng was unhappy, but she couldn't show it on her face. She could only force a smile and say, "Grandma, you're joking. My skills are just average. How could I possibly handle such a big event?"

As she spoke, she kindly placed a piece of braised pork on the old lady's plate.

"Grandma, when is my mother-in-law coming to visit you?"

He Caifeng asked tentatively, her tone carrying a hint of unintentional urgency, but her eyes were fixed on the old lady's reaction.

The old lady paused, her hand still holding the food she was picking up, without even lifting her eyelids: "She's very busy. We'll talk about it later."

He Caifeng's heart sank. These words sounded perfunctory, and she wondered if the old woman could actually get Zhang Wenying to come.

"Your mom is very busy."

I'm enjoying the food and accommodations here, and I don't want to go back anytime soon.

Besides, if she comes, you two will argue again, and I'll be caught in the middle.

Let's not let her come.

Life in the city is better than in the countryside.

I've decided to stay at your house for a while longer and enjoy myself.

He Caifeng's smile froze completely, her chopsticks hovering in mid-air, almost dropping the piece of braised pork.

Are you addicted to staying here?

These past few days, her mother has been so angry that she hasn't even cooked.

Every day when she comes home, she still has to cook, wash dishes, and take care of this old lady, which is even more tiring than going to work.

Why did I make sure she was well-fed and well-clothed? Wasn't it so that she would call her mother-in-law over sooner, so that Zhang Wenying could pay for her husband to go abroad?

If she gets a taste of success and refuses to leave, wouldn't she be shooting herself in the foot?

This old woman has sons and daughters, why should she stay at her grandson's house and refuse to leave?

He Caifeng was burning with anxiety inside, but she still had to force a smile on her face.

"Grandma, what are you saying?"

They say it's best to stay home for a thousand days, but difficult to go out even for a short time.

There's no place like home.

No matter how nice my place is, I bet you still don't feel as comfortable as at home, right?

The old lady didn't care about He Caifeng's implied meaning at all, and continued to eat with relish, mumbling a reply: "Comfortable, how could I not be comfortable? Everything here is good, I'm very comfortable living here."

Besides, how can the countryside compare to the city in any way?

Otherwise, many people would want to move to the city.

Your father-in-law's roots are in the countryside, but go ask him if he wants to quit his job and go back to the countryside now.

And your shameless parents, even though I chased them away so much, they still refused to leave, just because they think life in the city is more comfortable than in the countryside.

It's easy for a person to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.

"I'm an old woman who's lived this long, I understand this basic principle."

The old lady scooped up a spoonful of steamed egg custard, slowly put it in her mouth, squinted her eyes to savor it, and then continued, "So, you city people shouldn't always look down on us country folk for being unsophisticated."

They're all seedlings that grow from the ground; which one is more noble than the other?

He Caifeng felt a lump in her throat upon hearing this, and the smile on her face almost vanished.

She took a deep breath, suppressing her surging agitation, put down her chopsticks, and glared at the old lady several times.

"You old codger, who are you implying?"

She came from the countryside, but now she's married and lives in the city. What she hates most is people bringing up her background. This old woman, however, seems to be hitting her right in the heart with every word.

He became addicted to staying at her house.

Once she got the money from Zhang Wenying, she would send that old geezer back to his hometown.

She forced herself not to lash out, picked up the bowl, took a sip of soup, and swallowed back the swear words that were about to come out.

"Wenhai."

I saw Liu's roast chicken when I was taking a walk yesterday, and it looked pretty good.

The donkey meat at the stall around the corner is also pretty good.

As I get older, I crave this one thing.

People may seem lively and energetic today, but they could be lying down tomorrow.

You should eat when you can, and not save.

"Buy Grandma a roast chicken tomorrow, and also cut half a pound of donkey meat."
