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

"Hello, Dean Shen."

Filled with excitement, Li Wenhai strode forward, his voice tinged with nervousness and a hint of ingratiation.

Shen Mingyuan was slightly taken aback, his gaze falling on Li Wenhai, before he smiled and said, "Oh, Little Li, what are you doing here?"

Li Wenhai quickly smiled apologetically and said, "My mother is Zhang Wenying. I've come to pick her up from the hospital."

Li Wenhai was so excited that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Shen Mingyuan suddenly realized and nodded with a smile: "So you are Comrade Zhang's son. No wonder you look so energetic."

Since we've run into each other, let's get in the car together, and I'll take you both home.

Li Wenhai was overjoyed and quickly took the bundle from the old lady's hand. He helped the old lady into the car first and sat next to her in the passenger seat. He secretly observed the conversation between Shen Mingyuan and his mother all the way, and he was more and more surprised... Judging from Dean Shen's attitude, he was so polite and respectful to his mother. It was not like they were just casual acquaintances.

The old lady was so excited that she touched this and that.

Good heavens, I never imagined that one day she would be able to ride in such a car, and even be driven there by her boss.

This is a car!

Even the village chief of their village probably has never held that position in his entire life.

The more the old lady thought about it, the more proud she felt, and she unconsciously straightened her back a little.

Now she has even more to brag about.

Back in the village, she'd have to have a good talk with her old friends, letting them know how capable her daughter-in-law—no, her daughter—is, how she gets picked up in a car just to be discharged from the hospital!

Zhang Wenying leaned back in the back row and briefly told Shen Mingyuan about what had happened. After listening, Shen Mingyuan nodded and praised, "Sister Zhang, you did the right thing. We can't back down on the rights we should fight for. This is an era that values ​​rules and laws."

Zhang Wenying was taken aback.

He actually agreed with his own approach?

If it were Li Jianguo, he would only say that she was too impulsive and tell her not to cause trouble.

Shen Mingyuan glanced at her through the rearview mirror, his tone gentle yet firm: "In this society, honest people suffer losses, while those who understand the law can stand firm."

You did a great job.

Zhang Wenying felt a warmth in her heart and couldn't help but smile. The gloom that had been weighing on her heart for the past few days dissipated.

It turns out there are still people in this world who are compatible with me.

The car soon arrived at the alley entrance. Shen Mingyuan helped carry the things down, gave a few more words of advice to rest well, and then drove away.

A crowd of neighbors gathered at the entrance to watch the commotion. As the black Santana drove away, they all became abuzz, bombarding Zhang Wenying and her son with questions.

The old lady spoke first, describing the matter in glowing terms, praising her daughter's abilities.

Zhang Wenying didn't bother to reply and went home with a large pile of things.

Li Wenhai helped carry the things into the house, feeling a mix of emotions. He opened his mouth as if to ask something, but in the end, he didn't ask anything.

He couldn't understand his mother anymore, but he also had a vague feeling that he couldn't go against her anymore.

Standing at the alley entrance, watching the car drive away, Li Wenhai couldn't help but turn to Zhang Wenying and ask, "Mom, how do you know Dean Shen? He's the head of our Academy of Sciences!"

Zhang Wenying said calmly, "I met him at the braised meat shop. So what if we know each other?"

Zhang Wenying didn't say anything more, and helped the old lady walk home, leaving Li Wenhai standing there, his heart churning. It turned out that his mother was no longer the ordinary woman he remembered who only knew how to do housework, laundry, and cooking.

She not only got to know the head of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but also had him personally drive her home. This level of connections and influence was something even he, a long-time employee of the Academy, might not have.

The old lady happily followed Zhang Wenying into the house, muttering, "My daughter, you've really made something of yourself! I'm so lucky to have you in my life!"

She had made up her mind about Zhang Wenying.

She felt that by following Zhang Wenying, even this old lady could benefit from it, riding in a car and meeting important people.

Life is getting better and better.

Most importantly, following Zhang Wenying meant you'd get to eat meat.

Even if the second son and Zhang Wenying divorced, as long as Zhang Wenying didn't look down on her, Zhang Wenying would still be her daughter.

As for the son, he'll have to step aside.

Several of Zhang Wenying's close neighbors, including Sister Li and Sister Liu, gathered around, asking all sorts of questions about the origin of the car and about Zhang Wenying's injuries.

Zhang Wenying was very grateful to her old neighbors.

In the past, whenever she and Li Jianguo argued and talked about divorce, these old friends always stood by her side, spoke up for her, and gave her advice.

They have helped her a lot over the years, and Zhang Wenying remembers it all.

"I'm fine, everyone don't need to worry."

Now that you're here, don't leave.

"Hey boss, go to the braised meat shop and get two pounds of braised meat, bring some braised vegetables, and buy a bottle of good wine. I'm in a good mood today, so I'd like to invite my old ladies to stay for a drink."

Li Wenhai responded and turned to run outside.

His mother now has connections with important people, so he wouldn't dare to neglect her.

The old ladies waved their hands repeatedly, saying there was no need to spend money, but Zhang Wenying insisted on staying, pulled them to sit down, and went to make some sweet tea.

Only Wang Dalaba couldn't help but ask, "Hey Wenhai's mom, this whole thing in your family is pretty big."

I heard that Director Wang gave you compensation. How much exactly did he pay you?

She's the kind of person who can't keep things to herself; she has to get to the bottom of everything.

Zhang Wenying glanced at her.

How could she possibly tell outsiders about the compensation?

But many people already know about the compensation, and not mentioning a figure would only make it seem like she's trying to cover it up.

It's good to have Wang Dalaba speak out and let things be.

"How much compensation can you get?"

They compensated me with 2,000 yuan for medical expenses, and also arranged a job for my second son in a machinery factory, along with two dormitory apartments.

When Wang Dalaba and several neighbors heard this, they were extremely envious.

Two thousand yuan!

That's enough for a family to eat for a year.

With a job and two houses, Zhang Wenying has truly turned misfortune into blessing.

Wenying deserves this money.

Who beats someone to death?

If it weren't for Wenying's kindness, the person who hit her should have been shot!

Wang Dalaba slapped his thigh and shouted, spitting as he spoke. Several of his older sisters nodded in agreement, all chiming in to defend Zhang Wenying.

"That's right, Factory Director Wang was scared, that's why he gave so much."

Otherwise, how could ordinary people like us ask the factory manager for compensation?

Sister Li was also quite saddened.

"The family injured three people, and they only gave this little compensation. In fact, Wenying suffered a loss."

Sister Liu picked up the conversation, her tone tinged with concern, "It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, your second son will need a long time to recover."

Zhang Wenying waved her hand, a relieved smile on her face: "It's good that everyone is alright. Money is just an external thing."

As long as the children are safe and sound, I feel at ease.
