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

"His own son?"

Boss, I'm so tired from working so hard for you guys, my bones are about to fall apart.

Ask yourself honestly, have I ever mistreated you all these years? How much hardship and suffering did I endure to send you to university?

You've been working for me for almost five years, have you ever given me a single penny?

However, they did give half of your salary to your father-in-law.

I think you shouldn't ask me for the money to go abroad, but rather ask your father-in-law.

After all, in your eyes, your father-in-law is much more important than me.

Zhang Wenying sneered, her gaze like a knife piercing He Caifeng's face. "Isn't your wife capable? Let her family pay for it. When you become successful in the future, her family will be the biggest beneficiaries."

"You..." He Caifeng was so angry that her face turned pale, and her lips trembled as she couldn't speak.

Li Wenhai clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles turning white.

"Mom, I won't say anything if we don't have money at home."

But your shop makes a fortune every day, so please help me out!

His family is just an ordinary working-class family.

Which leader in a workplace doesn't climb the ranks through connections?

If he can go abroad to gain some experience, he'll be promoted at least one level when he comes back. Not to mention doubling his salary, getting a house and a car is a sure thing.

"Mom, what do you know, you country bumpkin!"

The opportunity to study abroad is not something everyone can have.

If Wenhai misses this opportunity, his life will be over!

You're just an ordinary person who doesn't understand anything, all you know is to cling to the little money you have and live your life like this.

Wenhai was born into the wrong family; it's like he was reincarnated into the wrong body.

If you had invested in a knowledgeable family, your future wouldn't have been hindered by this little bit of money!

He Caifeng became more and more agitated as she spoke, her voice so shrill it almost pierced the roof.

"Snapped!"

Li Xiaojuan stepped forward and slapped He Caifeng hard across the face.

The entire room fell silent instantly, as if the air itself had frozen.

He Caifeng covered her face, staring at Li Xiaojuan in disbelief, her eyes instantly reddening. She opened her mouth, her voice hoarse and almost inaudible: "You...you dare hit me?"

Why wouldn't I dare hit you?

"You insensible brat, how dare you talk to my mother like that!"

Li Xiaojuan stared wide-eyed, her chest heaving violently, "Who do you think you are? You married into our family, eat my mother's food, and even get paid to support your parents."

We won't say anything about your parents who raised you, but now you dare to curse my mother? Have you lost all your manners?!

He Caifeng staggered after being hit, but once she recovered, she bared her teeth and claws, ready to pounce on Li Xiaojuan and fight her to the death: "You little whore, how dare you hit me! I'll tear your mouth apart today, or I'm not a He!"

Li Wenhai quickly reached out and grabbed her, then turned and glared fiercely at Zhang Wenying and her daughter: "You've gone too far!"

"Excessive? Compared to you coming to our door and making a scene demanding money, how is this excessive?"

Li Xiaojuan stood in front of her mother, clenching her fists defiantly, and said, "Now take the rest of your things and get out of here. If you dare to cause trouble again, I'll beat you up too!"

The old lady sat to the side, watching the family arguing heatedly, and remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "Wenhai, stop pressuring your mother. It's not easy for her to raise several children. Since you say your father-in-law is capable, why don't you go find him?"

He Caifeng was not about to give up so easily. She struggled and cried out, "I'll fight this little whore to the death today! She dared to hit me. I've lived this long, and even my parents never hit me..."

"Shut up!"

Li Wenhai was embarrassed by her antics, and the old lady had seen through his thoughts. His ears burned, and he reached out and grabbed her hard. "Stop making a fool of yourself here, let's go!"

He realized that he was definitely not going to get the money back today. If he kept making a scene, he might get kicked out. If everyone knew about it, how could he ever work there again?

He Caifeng was being dragged outside by him, but she still wouldn't give up. She turned around and threatened, "Zhang Wenying, if you don't help us today, don't expect us to take care of you in your old age!"

Zhang Wenying leaned against the stove, coldly curling the corners of her lips: "I don't need you. I have a daughter, and it's none of your business to worry about her."

Just remember to send my monthly pension money to me on time.

"Get out of here! Don't block my business. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll call someone to judge this. Let's see if you're being unreasonable or if I'm just heartless."

The two of them dragged each other out the door, too embarrassed to take the opened can of food and the unwrapped peach shortbread back, and could only slink away.

As soon as they left, Li Xiaojuan spat and said, "What kind of people are they? Did they really think we mother and daughter were easy targets?"

Looking at the mess of canned food boxes on the table, Zhang Wenying breathed a long sigh of relief, finally feeling a bit more relieved of the tightness in her chest.

The old lady picked up her bowl, scooped up a piece of yellow peach, took a bite, and said slowly, "You should have been this assertive a long time ago. You spoiled them too much before, and they've all lost their manners."

Zhang Wenying smiled and turned to walk towards the stove: "Mom, wait a moment, the braised pork will be ready soon. We'll have it here for lunch today. I made a new braising sauce, it smells delicious."

"Alright, don't overdo it. I'm already fed up with that unfilial son."

The old lady waved her hand, chewing on a yellow peach, and mumbled her reply.

Li Xiaojuan quickly tidied up the mess on the table, gathering the opened cans of food and peach shortbread to one side, muttering, "Grandma, I think you should stay in the city instead of going back to your hometown."

My mom's also short-handed, so if you help her with some chores, she'll pay you.

Li Xiaojuan really liked this little old lady.

Upon hearing this, the old lady's eyes widened, and she nearly dropped the peaches in her hand: "Pay wages? You little brat, are you treating your grandma like a farmhand?"

But inside, I was overjoyed.

What she envies most are the people in the city who earn wages.

She never imagined that one day she would be able to earn a salary.

The old woman scolded, but the smile lines at the corners of her eyes couldn't be hidden. She took another bite of the yellow peach and mumbled, "Alright, then Grandma will be your mother's helper. Give me three meals a month, and a few yards of cloth to make me a new dress, and I'll do it!"

"That's easy!" Li Xiaojuan clapped her hands and grinned as she moved closer. "Grandma, if you're willing to stay, forget new clothes, I'll buy you fresh fruit every day!"

The old lady was amused by her and kept saying, "Good, good, good, Grandma is looking forward to enjoying your blessings."

Zhang Wenying listened by the stove, feeling a warm glow in her heart.

She lifted the pot lid, and the aroma of braised pork instantly filled the entire street, making everyone's mouths water.

The old lady was immediately captivated by the aroma.

"Wenfang, your cooking skills are truly superb. Just smelling this makes my stomach rumble."
