Ma Xiangxi had two sons, and the one-bedroom apartment he and his wife were given was too small for them. Seeing the Host buy a job for his sister and provide her with a dowry made Ma Xiangxi envious. He sweet-talked the Host into buying him a house and a full set of furniture.

When Ma Laoer and his wife found out, they were resentful and argued with the Host several times.

Ma Laoer was henpecked, strictly controlled by his wife, and always listened to her, which the Host disliked. Hence, the Host did not want to spend money on Ma Laoer and his family.

However, misfortune came out of the blue, and soon after, the Host had a stroke.

The Host had a mild stroke, which could be cured with hospitalization. But all her money had been spent on her younger son and daughter, and she had no money left.

Ma Laoer went to ask Ma Xiangling for money, but Ma Xiangling said she was pregnant and had no money.

Ma Laoer then went to ask Ma Xiangxi for money, and Ma Xiangxi said he had two sons to support and hadn’t saved any money.

In short, the younger son and daughter whom the Host doted on refused to give her money for treatment.

The Host was so enraged that her condition worsened, and she became severely paralyzed, beyond recovery.

The Host stayed in the hospital for three days before returning home.

After that, her children discussed how to take care of her, but the younger daughter and son made excuses about work and supporting their families, unwilling to contribute effort or money.

Ma Laoer resented the Host’s favoritism and didn’t want to take care of her. So, the three siblings carried her to Ma Xiangdong’s house.

Qian Hongmei was a gentle and virtuous woman. Even though her mother-in-law treated her poorly for over ten years, she still devoted herself to caring for her.

The Host lived for twenty years after becoming paralyzed.

Qian Hongmei cared for her day in and day out for those twenty years, warming the Host’s heart of stone. During this time, the younger son and daughter she had pampered only visited once a year during New Year.

They visited empty-handed, glanced at her, then left.

In those twenty years of paralysis, she never enjoyed any care from her younger son or daughter, who never even bought a pound of sugar or a pack of rice cakes for her to eat.

The Host passed away feeling guilty and grateful towards her eldest daughter-in-law and son.

At the same time, she was deeply disappointed and saddened by her younger son and daughter.

When she died, she was filled with regret for having been harsh to her eldest son’s family and for spoiling her younger son and daughter.

"Indeed, children spoiled by extreme favoritism are certainly unfilial," Yuan Chun said with a hint of sarcasm after receiving her memories.

"Host, the Host’s wishes are, one, to no longer have a stroke and paralysis, burdening her eldest son’s family, and two, to no longer spend any money on Ma Xiangxi and Ma Xiangling, and to make them return the money spent previously."

"Host, I’m going to level up now. Do your tasks well, and make sure not to use technology beyond this world."

"Got it, got it."

Yuan Chun impatiently withdrew her consciousness.

"Mom, mom, something’s wrong, something’s wrong, Brother got hurt and was... was sent back home, his... his leg is gone."

Ma Xiangling rushed in, panicked, and said anxiously, "Mom, what should we do? Brother lost a leg, he certainly can’t be Bin anymore, and he won’t have a stipend, boo hoo. Mom, I was waiting for Brother to send the stipend back to buy me a job, now Brother has no stipend, what should I do?"

Slap, slap, slap...

Yuan Chun jumped up and slapped Ma Xiangling’s face several times in succession.
