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

The old lady completely ignored the young couple's unpleasant expressions and counted on her fingers: "Buy some more peanuts soaked in vinegar. Your grandfather loved to drink a little bit of peanuts with his drink when he was alive."

Oh, and buy another bottle of good wine. I'll have a couple of drinks with your grandfather; it'll be my way of letting him taste the good wines of this city.

She only talked about what she liked to eat, without mentioning when she would go back to her hometown or what the purpose of her trip to the city was.

Li Wenjun endured it for two days, but he couldn't take it anymore, so he went to find his mother again.

What did he see?

He was surprised to see that his older sister hadn't gone to work either, but was instead selling small commodities and clothing in a shop next to his mother's.

Li Wenjun was stunned. He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

The woman was smiling as she handed a floral shirt to a customer, saying, "Don't worry, the material is excellent. It won't shrink after washing, and the color won't fade."

"My socks are only one yuan a pair. They're a bit pricey, but the quality is definitely better than other places. Feel the texture; it's different from those cheap ones."

The nylon stockings I have here are not only brightly colored, but also durable and easy to clean.

"Little sister, you're asking about the jeans I'm wearing?"

This is the latest style that I imported from the south at a high price. The fit is perfect, and it makes your legs look longer.

If you like it, I'll give you a discount, just to be friends.

Let me tell you, you can't buy jeans of this quality even in a Friendship Store, let alone a department store.

Pair it with one of my solid-color or patterned shirts, and you'll definitely be the most stylish girl in the factory.

Li Wenjun stood at the door, looking at his older sister's skilled business demeanor, and was momentarily dazed.

Is this still the same older sister who stayed at home all day, constantly scolded by her mother-in-law and unable to lift her head? She speaks fluently, has bright eyes, and exudes a shrewdness that is completely different from the timid Zhang Wenying of the past.

And her clothes were no longer the dusty old garments, but a well-tailored floral shirt with a small brooch pinned to the collar, paired with slim-fit jeans. She looked radiant, as if she had become a completely different person.

Li Wenjun was stunned for a long time.

Then look at your mother.

My mother, who was usually quiet and reserved, was all smiles when she saw anyone. She quickly and efficiently cut the meat, weighed it, collected the money, and gave change, all in one smooth motion.

He kept calling out, "Come on, fresh pig's head meat, just braised this morning. Smell this aroma, I guarantee it will leave your mouth full of fragrance."

Want to try half a pound?

I also have braised rice bowls here, delicious and inexpensive. If you're in a hurry, just grab a bowl and you're good to go; it won't make you late for work.

Li Wenjun stood at the door, watching his mother and older sister busy as bees, feeling a mix of emotions.

He opened his mouth, then slowly walked over.

"Mom, I haven't eaten yet."

Next door, the third brother and that brat Xiaomei are eating with gusto, their mouths greasy. Why does Mom treat her child differently?

Zhang Wenying glanced at him, then continued with her work.

"If you haven't eaten, go back to your place. What are you doing here?"

Li Wenjun frowned.

"No, Mom, I'm your son, how could you treat me like this?"

"You're not living with my dad anymore, but you can't just abandon your son, can you?"

Li Wenjun's voice carried a hint of grievance, and even a barely perceptible trace of it.

Why should I feed you?

"You're all adults now. Shouldn't you be the ones cooking and letting me enjoy life? I raised you with so much hardship, and in the end, I still have to serve you?"

"Mom, what are you saying?"

I'm not married yet, am I?

Other people's unmarried children are supported by their parents, why don't you care about me?

"Hehe, other people's unmarried children all pay their parents' living expenses."

You've been working for two years now, have you ever contributed a single penny to your family?

Have you ever taken care of your younger siblings' schooling?

When your older sister was being bullied, did you say a word in her defense? Now you suddenly remember I'm your mother?

Li Wenjun shrank back at the mention of salary.

His monthly salary isn't even enough to cover his own expenses.

If he hands it over to his family, how can he take Wenfang out for dinner and a movie?

"You can eat if you want."

Give me twenty a month.

She can still make a profit in twenty-one months.

My eldest daughter has to pay me thirty yuan a month for rent and food.

"Twenty? Mom, aren't you robbing me?"

Li Wenjun's voice suddenly rose, "How much do I earn a month? If I only give you twenty, how am I supposed to survive?"

He stiffened his neck, his face flushed red, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"Mom, how can you bear to take my meager salary?"

Zhang Wenying showed no mercy whatsoever.

"If you don't give it to me, go back to your house and eat. I don't need your pittance."

"Mom, do you really not want a son anymore?"

Li Wenjun's voice trembled with tears, and his eyes reddened.

He stared intently at his mother, trying to find a hint of unease in her cold face.

"What use is a son who only recognizes his wife and not his mother?"

Do you even care about me anymore? Get out of here, don't get in my way. I have business to do.

In his previous life, this second son was quick-witted and made a lot of money in business.

But because of Pan Wenfang's instigation, he never spent a single penny on his family.

Later, when she got old and sick, her second son refused to even pay for her surgery.

In this life, she doesn't want to indulge this ungrateful wretch anymore.

"Mom, I'm your own son!"

Don't you want me to take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die?

"Providing for the elderly and their final farewell?"

Zhang Wenying finally stopped what she was doing, looked up, and coldly stared at Li Wenjun's face.

"I'm counting on you?"

I'm afraid the grass on my grave will grow tall before I even get to receive a bowl of cold water from you.

She scoffed and turned to clear the vegetables off the cutting board. "Get out if you don't pay!"

You guys don't contribute any money to your families, yet you eat and drink for free at home, and you still expect your mother to serve you for nothing.

I've had enough of that kind of life.

From today onwards, no one will take advantage of me in any way.

"Mom, I think you're just being biased!"

Too big, too small, and I'm left all alone in the middle, being the one who gets bullied!

Li Wenjun felt extremely wronged.

Zhang Wenying paused.

Yes, in her past life, she favored her three sons and neglected her own daughter.

In the end, the one who cared the most was still the girl she had scolded away.

She took a deep breath, slammed the cleaver on the cutting board, and said, "I'm biased? Don't you know who I'm biased towards? Your older sister has worked hard to support the family since she was little, and I've been supporting your younger brother and sister through school."

You graduated high school and got into university, so I borrowed money and begged everyone I knew to find you a job. And what did you do? You complained about everything, only working sporadically, and now you're accusing me of favoritism?
