Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

The old woman immediately tried to smooth things over: "Don't listen to their nonsense. Usually, we're frugal with just vegetables and radishes. Today, the family is reunited, we should be happy and enjoy a good meal together."

As she spoke, the old woman turned her head and shouted loudly, "Waiter, bring a bottle of wine."

"Alright! Coming up!"

The waiter approached with a beaming smile, having completely changed his attitude from before.

"Dear guest, this is the best wine in our tavern." He placed a jar of wine on the table, unsealed it, and poured a bowl for each person, wisely skipping the only little kid.

"Mother, what's that? I want to try it too." The little kid, eyes wide with curiosity, watched the adults having some while he had none, his curiosity piqued.

The woman said, "Son, you're still young; you can't drink this. When you grow up, Mother will buy you some."

"No, I want to drink it, I want to drink it, I just want to!" The little kid started crying and making a scene.

The old woman turned around and impatiently glared at the woman, sharply scolding, "Give him a sip, is it going to kill him?"

The woman felt wronged immediately: "Mother-in-law, drinking is bad for children."

"Wine is a good thing, how is it bad? Why don't you say it's just that you're too stingy to let him drink it, wanting to keep a couple more sips for yourself, you greedy woman."

The woman said, "Mother-in-law, you misunderstand, that's not what I meant."

The old woman said, "Stop arguing, it's annoying."

The woman turned to the man and pouted: "Husband, that's not what I meant, look at Mother-in-law...!"

"Shh, quiet down, wife, big sister is back, Mother is happy!"

"What's there to be happy about, just another mouth to feed for free."

"Don't talk nonsense, the silver for our household is all earned by big sister, she deserves to use it."

"Then what about your future tuition and our son's tuition?"

"Stop talking, just eat; let's speak about this later."

"You... How can you be so spineless, such a coward."

With those words, the entire dining room fell silent.

The old woman, who was having wine with Madam Wang, heard this and slammed her cup down heavily, speaking in a cold voice: "Say one more word, and believe it or not, our Wang Family will divorce you."

The woman pouted, not daring to make a sound.

The man quickly spoke well for his wife: "Mother, don't be angry, wife was just speaking without thinking."

"Keep indulging her; she's already ruling over you."

"No, wife treats me really well usually."

"Hmm!"

The old woman snorted, displeased. This son of hers was truly under his wife's thumb, listening to whatever she said.

"Daughter, did you see? Your brother is hopeless; in the future, Mother can only rely on you." The old woman became emotional, even shedding a few tears.

At this moment, Madam Wang, having downed several cups of wine, also sighed: "Mother, since I was little, you've always been biased, always favoring my brother. Even selling your daughter to a brothel was for the sake of my brother's future. Whenever I think of these past events, my heart aches."

"Don't blame Mother. Mother did it for the lives of you and your brother. If I hadn't made that wise choice back then, neither of you would be alive in this world now." Having taken her daughter to the brothel, the old woman felt no remorse at all.

"But I would rather have died myself. Mother, do you know? When I first entered the brothel, how did the procuress treat me?"
