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

This son is hopeless.

Li Wenjun turned pale from the scolding, his lips trembled a few times, but he ultimately dared not utter another word.

He lowered his head, staring at his bandaged hands, his heart churning with indescribable grievances and bitterness.

"Mom, I... I didn't say I wanted a letter of forgiveness. I just feel... the Pan family, after all, ended up like this because of me..."

"Alright, shut up!"

You've been beaten up like this, and Pan Wenfang has cursed you out, yet you're still defending her? You're truly bewitched by her!

I bet if that slut comes to you again and calls you "brother" a couple of times, and softens her tone, you'll be all over her again.

"Fine, you can join in, but you won't get a share of the dormitory apartment or the family's money. I'll just pretend I never had a son like you!"

She really wanted to crack open this idiot's head to see what was inside.

That's how it was in the past life. Wang Dabao got tired of Pan Wenfang and kicked her away. Pan Wenfang then turned around and went to Li Wenjun to complain. That idiot Li Wenjun didn't hold a grudge and went home to argue with her, insisting on marrying Pan Wenfang.

And what happened? After Pan Wenfang married into the family, she continued her ambiguous relationship with Wang Dabao, and even complained that Li Wenjun was incompetent, ultimately causing Li Wenjun's death.

Even if she disliked Li Wenjun, Zhang Wenying was determined not to let him repeat the same mistake.

"Mom, don't be angry."

The Pan family has ruined our family like this, how could I possibly speak up for them?

I just... I just feel a tightness in my chest.

Li Wenjun's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

He closed his eyes, a tear welling up from the corner of his eye, sliding down his cheek onto the pillow.

No one in the ward noticed his tears, except for Zhang Wenying, who merely snorted coldly and turned her head away.

She knew in her heart that her son was incredibly soft-hearted, but this time, she would never let the Pan family cause trouble again.

Except for Pan Wenfang, who didn't make a move, every single member of the Pan family will have to spend a few days in jail.

Pan Xiaoming's misdeeds were particularly heinous, and he should be sentenced to at least three to five years in prison.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to quell the hatred in her heart.

Li Wenjun was suffering.

Why doesn't Mom believe him?

Even if he liked Pan Wenfang, he still didn't like her cheating on him, even if she had Wang Dabao try to kill him and insult him.

He just couldn't understand why Pan Wenfang had become like this, why the person who used to call him "Brother Wenjun" with a gentle smile could be so heartless.

The Li family left in high spirits.

"Sister-in-law, if there are any more good things like this in the future, you have to invite us!"

Uncle Li was overjoyed and confiscated the compensation money from his three sons, saying he would save it for them to get married.

Everyone else also had a joyful expression on their faces, as if it were New Year's Day.

Zhang Hongyuan and Liu Fang also received money, and they were completely ecstatic.

Zhang Hongyuan thought for a moment and stuffed five hundred yuan into Zhang Wenying's hand: "Wenying, take this money and buy some nutritional supplements for you and Wenjun."

Zhang Wenying quickly pushed it back.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

I'm already very grateful that you, my sister-in-law, and my nephew came to protect me; I can't accept this money.

As she spoke, she took out five hundred yuan from her pocket and stuffed it back into Zhang Hongyuan's hand: "Brother, this is the money that the eldest brother borrowed from you when he got married that year. I've always remembered it, and today is the perfect day to pay it back."

Zhang Hongyuan was taken aback, his eyes reddening slightly. He didn't refuse anymore, clutched the five hundred yuan tightly, and nodded.

With this money, the family's situation can finally be eased a bit.

"Brother, I remember all the kindness you and sister-in-law have shown us over the years."

"We're family, why talk about those things? Just focus on recovering. I'll take care of things at home."

Zhang Hongyuan patted Zhang Wenying on the shoulder, his voice slightly choked. Zhang Wenying nodded and continued, "Brother, when you get back, buy a couple more plots of land and build a few more houses, so that each of the children can have one in the future, so they won't have to make a fuss about these things anymore."

Also, could you go back and ask about the price of that hill behind your village? I'm buying it.

My eldest brother's family lives in the countryside, fifty miles outside the city.

In another ten or so years, the entire village will be incorporated into the city, and land prices will increase dozens of times.

That hilltop will become a prime location in Haicheng, where a villa district will be built, with prices soaring to an alarming degree.

Zhang Wenying had a clear plan in mind: the future returns from this investment would be immeasurable.

This also prevents anyone from eyeing the money in her hands.

Zhang Hongyuan was stunned. He scratched his head and asked, "Wenying, there's nothing on that hill except trees. What's the point of buying it?"

Zhang Wenying smiled and didn't explain much, only saying, "Big brother, just listen to me, you won't go wrong."

You'll find out later.

Her tone was firm, and her eyes held a composure and foresight that Zhang Hongyuan had never seen before.

Although Zhang Hongyuan was full of doubts, seeing his sister's confident expression, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask her when I get back."

Zhang Wenying breathed a sigh of relief and then instructed, "Brother, handle this quietly and don't make a fuss. I'll give you the money later."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, bro."

Li Wenhai panicked upon seeing this.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

"Buying a worthless, abandoned mountain is like throwing money down the drain!"

"What do you know?"

Zhang Wenying glanced at him, her tone calm yet brooking no argument: "I have my own plans."

Besides, this is my money, I can spend it however I want, it's none of your business.

Li Wenhai was speechless, and could only stare blankly.

That afternoon, apart from Li Wenjun, who was still unable to be discharged, Zhang Wenying and the old lady immediately completed the discharge procedures.

Factory Director Wang gave two thousand yuan for medical expenses, which was enough to cover the remaining costs.

As soon as I arrived at the hospital entrance, I saw a black Santana parked on the side of the road. As soon as the door opened, a well-dressed middle-aged man quickly walked up to me.

"Comrade Shen, what brings you here?"

Shen Mingyuan, carrying a fruit basket, smiled and said, "I heard you were hospitalized, so I came to see you."

What are you doing...?

Zhang Wenying smiled and said, "It's all alright now, I'm just getting ready to go home."

Shen Mingyuan nodded and handed over the fruit basket: "That's good."

I happen to have a car; let me give you a ride.

The man had a handsome appearance, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was wearing a dark gray jacket and exuded a calm, capable, and refined air.

Li Wenhai stared at the man in front of him, completely dumbfounded.

Isn't this... isn't this his direct supervisor?!

How did he come to know Mom?!

Recently, Dean Shen has been selecting assistants, and he was worried about not having a chance to show his face in front of the leaders. He never expected that his mother would have such a good relationship with Dean Shen!
