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

"Hey, is this sponge cake delicious?"

"It's delicious! Everything my grandson buys is delicious!"

The old lady beamed, her cheeks puffed out.

He Caifeng shamelessly came over, wanting to take a piece as well, but the old lady slapped her away: "Get out of the way, this is a gift from my eldest grandson!"

You've been married into the Li family for three years, but you've never bought me a single piece of candy.

"You can't have my cake now."

He Caifeng: "..."

This old hag is really difficult to deal with. Seeing this, Li Wenhai quickly tried to smooth things over: "Grandma, don't be angry, Caifeng just wants to try your good stuff."

"Try my good stuff?"

I'm so old, my neck is practically in the ground, how many more times can I eat good food?

If she were truly filial, she should buy it herself!

The old lady snorted and took another big bite of cake.

Li Wenhai looked at the old lady, his brows almost furrowed together.

The matter of going abroad cannot be delayed any longer.

After receiving the money, I still need to apply for a passport and visa, go through the procedures, which will take at least a month.

Time waits for no one!

As long as he can get there, he'll find a way to get a green card there, and then bring his wife and children over. Who will care about this old man's life or death then?

As long as he can go abroad, his children can also be superior to others and will no longer have to live a miserable life like him.

Thinking of this, Li Wenhai took a deep breath and forced a smile.

"Grandma, I need to discuss something with you."

He had already discussed it with He Caifeng last night.

Since the old lady wasn't going to see his mother, he decided to take her there himself.

We can't keep the old lady at home all the time, as it would interfere with his important business and cost money.

These days, he's been feeding and treating the old lady well, so Grandma will definitely side with him and ask for money for him and Mom.

Just think about it, what an honor it would be for someone who toils in the fields to have a grandson who goes abroad to study!

These days he's been telling the old lady how great it is abroad, how she can make a lot of money, live in a big house, and enjoy a life of luxury with her.

Grandma's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she kept praising him for being so promising.

"Grandma, I heard my mom opened a braised pork shop, and business is booming."

The aroma of the meat was so strong it almost reached our courtyard gate.

Caifeng and I are both free today, how about we go over and take a look together?

I haven't seen my mom for several days either.

The old lady's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

"Your mom opened a braised pork shop? That's great! Come on, Grandma will go with you, I'm really craving braised pork."

My eldest daughter-in-law is really capable; she's actually opened a braised meat shop. The business is sure to be booming.

Li Wenhai was secretly delighted, but he didn't show it on his face. He helped the old lady and walked out.

On the way there, Li Wenhai also bought two bottles of canned oranges and a bag of peach shortbread. The old lady smiled from ear to ear, praising her grandson for being so thoughtful.

When they arrived at the braised meat shop, the aroma was irresistible. The old lady took a deep breath and exclaimed, "It smells so good!"

This smell is so enticing, it makes my mouth water.

There weren't many people there at the moment, because it wasn't lunchtime yet, and there were only a few customers in the restaurant.

Zhang Wenying had just returned from Shen Mingyuan's house and was busy in the shop when she saw Li Wenhai helping the old lady in. Her heart skipped a beat, but she forced a smile and said, "Mom, what brings you here?"

Sit down quickly.

The braised pork in the pot will be ready soon. Please sit here and have some tea.

The stove area has been partitioned off.

People on this side can't see people coming from the other side.

Only she can see it.

"Mom, we had some free time today, so Caifeng and I came to see you."

Li Wenhai helped the old lady sit down and poured her a cup of tea. "Your shop is really doing well. Caifeng and I can come and help out more often in the future."

Zhang Wenying glanced at the canned oranges and peach shortbread on the table, knowing perfectly well that the visitors were up to no good.

Li Xiaojuan glanced at the canned food, picked up a bottle, pried open the cap with a kitchen knife, and handed it to the old lady: "Grandma, try this first, it'll whet your appetite."

He Caifeng's face turned green.

"Li Xiaojuan, what are you doing?"

Li Xiaojuan looked at her with a puzzled expression: "I was opening a can of food for Grandma, what's wrong?"

Didn't my older brother bring some things to see Mom?

As she spoke, she took out some peach shortbread and gave one to her grandmother and mother. She picked up one for herself, took a bite, and mumbled, "It's delicious, thank you, big brother."

He Caifeng was so angry that her face turned white. Those canned goods and peach crisps were just for show.

If Zhang Wenying didn't pay, she would take all these things back; she had no intention of giving them to others to eat.

In the blink of an eye, Li Xiaojuan had already opened both the canned goods and the peach shortbread.

Li Wenhai didn't have that many thoughts.

"Mom, Xiaojuan, if you like it, I'll buy it again next time."

"That would be great."

With her mouth full of peach shortbread, Li Xiaojuan mumbled a response, then deftly pried open another jar of food and poured it into a large bowl.

"Mom, you should try some too. This canned food is sweet and tastes pretty good."

In the past, this canned food would have been considered a delicacy.

Even during holidays, she couldn't get a single bite to eat.

But these past few days, she and her mother went there and ate a lot of good food, so this canned food suddenly seemed ordinary.

Speaking of that place, there are quite a few delicious foods.

There's Sichuan hot pot, spicy grilled fish, Henan-style water banquet, and all kinds of seafood. The snacks are incredibly diverse; you can eat your way from one end of the night market street to the other.

So she wasn't so interested in the canned fruit she'd been craving for so long.

After all, she, Xiaomei, and her mother had already eaten quite a lot of the dazzling array of fresh fruit over there.

Zhang Wenying took a bite of the canned food her daughter handed her; the sweet and sour taste melted on her tongue, but a bitter feeling welled up in her heart.

She was waiting for Li Wenhai's next move.

Sure enough, Li Wenhai rubbed his hands together, took another sip of tea, and then slowly said, "Mom, actually, I came here today because there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

He pushed up his glasses and continued, "Mom, my boss talked to me yesterday."

They said if I couldn't raise the money soon, my spot to study abroad... would have to be given to someone else.

"If you want to give it to someone else, then give it to them."

I have no interest in pretending to be something I'm not.

Besides, why don't you go to your dad if you have something to do? Why are you here with me?

How much money could an old woman like me have?

Zhang Wenying spoke indifferently, showing no intention of paying any attention to this ungrateful wretch.

"Mom, don't you know how much money Dad has?"

But you are different.

You sold your job and still have two very successful shops; you must have saved quite a bit.

"Mom, please help me this once. When I come back from my studies abroad, I'll definitely take extra good care of you."

"Mom, please help us this once."

He Caifeng also chimed in from the side.

"If Wenhai can go abroad, he can earn at least 500 yuan a month when he comes back."

Mom, a monthly salary of five or six hundred yuan, you've probably never seen that in your life, right?

We will definitely treat you well and buy you the best things then.
