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

Factory Director Wang gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, took two steps forward, and then waved for Wang Mazi to take some men to pull the old lady and Li Lao Er and the others away.

Can't we discuss the terms slowly once we bring the person into the factory?

Why did they have to pull this stunt?

If this doesn't quell everyone's anger, how will this matter be resolved?

Wang Mazi, whose face was already full of menace, became even more ferocious upon receiving the order. With a wave of his hand, he led the two hundred or so men behind him to press down on the crowd.

The onlookers realized that this was an attempt to bully an honest person.

What's wrong with someone coming here to demand an explanation after someone's family member has died?

This machinery factory not only refuses to acknowledge its debts, but also tries to assault people. What kind of logic is this!

The crowd was instantly enraged.

Someone shouted, "Let's fight them!" and several young and strong workers rushed forward, colliding with Wang Mazi's men.

The bricks collided with the iron bars, producing a piercing sound, and screams and curses instantly mingled together.

In the chaos, Li Lao Er desperately protected his mother and son behind him, his eyes bloodshot as he stared ahead.

He saw Wang Mazi and his men wielding iron bars, quickly injuring many onlookers. Blood streamed down their foreheads, staining the ground red.

This chaos was like a pot of boiling oil, poured into people's already parched and fiery hearts.

Seeing that something was wrong, someone quickly ran to call the police.

Less than fifteen minutes later, several police cars arrived with sirens blaring, and the piercing sirens calmed the chaotic crowd down slightly.

The officer in the hat quickly got out of the car, set up a cordon, and several uniformed police officers shouted, "Stop! Anyone who lays a hand on anyone will be taken to the police station!"

Factory Director Wang stood there, trembling like a leaf.

Oh no, things are even more serious than before!

He just wanted to get the old lady and the Li family inside and settle things privately, but he didn't expect that some unwanted bystanders would get involved, and things even got physical, resulting in bloodshed. Now, even if he's in the right, he can't explain himself.

The old lady, with her bound feet, had already run far away.

Her old arms and legs couldn't withstand those iron bars and bricks.

She hid behind the crowd, panting heavily, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "God, have mercy! Someone's been killed! Someone's been killed at the machine factory!"

Good heavens, is there no justice left?!

Her shout only added fuel to the fire.

The police officers fired a shot into the air, which separated the two groups of people. Wang Mazi and several of his most aggressive men were immediately pinned to the ground.

Seeing that the situation was under control, the old woman poured some more red ink on her head, then staggered to the police officers and cried out, "Comrades! You must stand up for us!"

My grandson was beaten to the point of near death by Director Wang's son. Kind-hearted people wanted to seek justice for us, but they beat him with iron bars, and he bled!

"Aren't our lives just lives too?"

She cried and slapped her thighs, then swayed and collapsed softly to the ground.

The police officer reacted quickly and caught her, his brow furrowed.

Seeing this, the surrounding crowd became even more indignant and shouted, "Police officers, the machinery factory is trying to kill us to cover it up!"

Comrade, this old lady was already injured by Director Wang's son, and now she's even more seriously injured!

Comrades, you must stand up for us ordinary people!

If you don't do anything, we'll go to the capital to file a complaint!

"Yes, this isn't a machine factory, this is a den of thugs! We're going to report this to higher authorities!"

The police officer looked grave. He quickly helped the old lady to the side and arranged for someone to stop the bleeding.

The incident escalated completely. The old lady and the injured person were sent to the hospital, while Factory Director Wang, Wang Mazi, and the people who committed the act were taken back to the police station for investigation.

Except for Li Lao Er, all members of the Li family suffered some injuries.

Now, almost the entire family is in the hospital.

The old lady looked like she was covered in blood, but she wasn't actually injured at all.

The doctor couldn't find anything wrong, but the old lady kept complaining of headaches, dizziness, and pain all over her body. Frustrated, the doctor had no choice but to transfer her to the intensive care unit and assign nurses to provide 24-hour care.

Zhang Wenying was overjoyed.

This is no small matter that can be resolved with a small sum of money. Even if Factory Director Wang were to go bankrupt, he would still be severely affected. The old lady's move allowed her to firmly grasp the "reason" and steadily maintain the "power" on her side.

No matter how rich and powerful Director Wang is, he can't withstand the public outrage and the overwhelming public opinion.

The old lady was also very happy.

He originally just wanted to stay by Zhang Wenying's side and earn a salary that only city dwellers could afford, but he never expected to be able to pull off a big heist on the side.

Moreover, lying in the hospital, you can drink malted milk powder, eat canned meat, and be served gently by nurses, which is much better than being at home.

She figured she should stay here for at least a year or two to recuperate properly, and then leave the hospital in style after Director Wang had paid her enough compensation.

Although Zhang Wenying felt that the old lady was probably fine, what if she was?

The old lady is getting on in years, and her health isn't as good as a young person's. If something were to happen to her, it would be a huge loss.

So she specifically instructed the doctor to give the old lady a full check-up and to use all the necessary medications, without worrying about the cost.

Nowadays, Zhang Wenying's family are quite well-known in the hospital.

Those who saw Zhang Wenying and her group would offer them words of sympathy and comfort, while also cursing Director Wang.

Zhang Wenying, with her head covered in bandages, went over and glanced at the old lady.

The old lady was leaning against the headboard, happily drinking malted milk powder. When she saw Zhang Wenying come in, she quickly put down her cup and asked with concern, "Yingzi, how are you? Does your head still hurt?"

Don't try to tough it out. If you need to be hospitalized, then be hospitalized. We're not short of money.

Anyway, we'll have to get this money back from Director Wang sooner or later, so we can't let him get it for free.

"Mom, are you alright?"

"What could possibly be wrong with me?"

The old lady patted the edge of the bed and chuckled in a low voice, "My body is stronger than iron."

When things got chaotic today, I ran away early.

However, I'm craving the meat from your shop.

Xiaojuan can just bring over a small amount.

I want to eat braised pork belly, the fatty kind, stewed until it's very tender and melts in your mouth.

The old lady licked her lips, her eyes gleaming.

Knowing that the old lady was alright, Zhang Wenying smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll have Xiaojuan bring it to you tonight, along with some brown sugar cake."

She also admired the old lady's good appetite.

The old lady could finish a whole big bowl of braised pork by herself, leaving not even a drop of broth.

The young nurse was speechless as she watched the old lady eat.

Why would an old lady who can eat and drink so much need to stay in the intensive care unit?

She should be discharged from the hospital by now.

Meanwhile, the police station was overcrowded.

The two sides were arguing fiercely.
