I stood there in a daze, and suddenly realized that no matter how I explained, my son wouldn't listen.

At this moment, my husband suddenly pulled my arm and gently advised,

"Honey, I know you're worried that Kevin will spend money recklessly, so you said that on purpose."

"But now he has no house, no car, and no dowry. Which girl would be willing to marry him?"

"Besides, don't you want to have a grandchild soon? Just take out the money."

Looking at my husband's sincere face, I couldn't help but think of the day he won the lottery seven years ago.

It was an evening, he rushed into the house like crazy and hugged me tightly.

"Honey, I won! Three million!"

Then, he stuffed all the lottery tickets and salary cards into my pocket like he was giving me treasures.

"You've suffered with me all these years!"

"From now on, all our family's money will be in your hands!"

Seeing the after-tax bonus of 2.4 million deposited into my account, I was very excited and thought that good days were finally coming.

Unexpectedly, this turned out to be the beginning of a nightmare.

Thinking of this, I shook off his hand expressionlessly and said coldly,

"I don't have any money! You can say whatever you want, I have a clear conscience!"

Over the next few days, my son tried every way to force me to tell him where the money had gone.

But when I told him, he didn't believe it.

In desperation, I had to hide in my mother's Willow Creek Rehabilitation Center to find some peace and quiet.

As a result, not long after arriving, his son followed.

When he learned about the cost of Willow Creek Rehabilitation Center, his defenses were completely broken.

"I was wondering why we couldn't even get some dowry at home, and it turns out you were secretly using it here!"

"Hundreds of thousands a month, are you willing to spend that?"

"I am so unlucky to have a mother like you!"

My son's girlfriend, carrying a new bag, also acted weird.

"Auntie, you are too partial. You only care about supporting your parents. Can you please take a look at your own son?"

"At least leave half for Kevin to get married. I've never seen such an irresponsible mother like you!"

I was so angry,

"The cost of Willow Creek Rehabilitation Center was paid by your uncle. If you don't believe me, ask the front desk!"

"As for the three million, I didn't spend a cent! Stop spitting insults at me!"

The son sneered.

"Where did the money go? Did it grow wings and fly away?"

"If you don't explain yourself clearly today, don't blame me for not recognizing you as my mother!"

I couldn't stand it anymore, so I responded to him.

"How dare you say that? Have you worked a single day in the years since you graduated? Your startup went bankrupt in less than half a year. Where do you think all that money came from?"

"And your father..."

Before I could finish my words, my son interrupted me angrily.

"How dare you mention my dad? He doesn't smoke or drink, he just fishes and plays bird hunting. He gave you all his money, but what did you do?"

"You didn't even leave me money for my wedding. You don't deserve to be a mother!"

As he said that, he pushed me into the artificial lake in the yard with all his strength.

At this time, my husband hurried over and quickly pulled me out of the water.

Seeing me shivering with cold, he frowned and advised,

"My son was just anxious at the time. Why are you angry with him?"

"How about you take out the 880,000 dowry first? You can give the rest of the money to anyone you want. As for my son's RV and wedding, I'll figure it out myself!"

The son was not happy.

"Dad, that's all your money, why should you give it to outsiders?"

The husband quickly winked at his son.

"I earn the money, so of course I have the final say!"

As he said this, he looked at me eagerly, waiting for me to nod in agreement.

I shook my head again.

"I have no money, where can I get 880,000 dowry for you?"

"John, do you also think that I used that money to support my parents?"

My husband avoided my sight out of guilt and discussed with his son,

"Kevin, how about we wait a little longer for marriage?"

The son looked incredulous.

"Dad, what do you mean? I promised Sophia's parents that I would solve the Dowry issue within three days."

"You've been patient for decades, can't you just stand up for once?"

"Okay, since you can't bear to do it, I'll do it myself!"

I thought he was just speaking in anger, but I didn't expect that the next day I would receive a call from Dr. Evans.

"Ms. Jiang, it's bad. Your son is causing a scene at Willow Creek Rehabilitation Center and is forcing us to refund your mother's fees!"

I rushed over and saw my son with a few hooligans, going crazy.

"This is all my dad's money, why can't I get it back?"

"It's a lousy Willow Creek Rehabilitation Center, so expensive, they must be charging exorbitant fees, believe me or not, I will expose you?"

The caregivers at Willow Creek Rehabilitation Center were all relatively young girls who had never seen such a scene before, so they had no choice but to block the door of the room to prevent them from entering.

I asked the dean to check out the spending records so that my son could see clearly that I was not the one who paid for it.

But he didn't believe it at all and insisted that I forged it.

In desperation, I had to call my husband over.

"Look at what your son has done! He doesn't know how the three million dollars in the card disappeared, but you don't know?"

"Either you explain this matter clearly in front of everyone today, or we get divorced!"

My husband hesitated to speak, but finally spoke hesitantly.

"Son, just do it for your dad's sake and stop making trouble, okay?"

"You can always earn more money if you lose it. There's no need to make the whole family unhappy over such a small matter..."

My son was so angry.

"Dad, what are you afraid of?"

"A woman like my mother won't be wanted by anyone even if she's divorced. Don't worry, I'll always stand by you!"

Seeing that my face was becoming increasingly gloomy, my husband had no choice but to forcibly push him out of Willow Creek Rehabilitation Center.

I was exhausted and apologized to the dean repeatedly.

But unexpectedly, that evening, my son burst into tears, exaggerated the story, and posted it online.

According to his accusation, I not only squandered all of my husband's savings, but also gave all of the 3 million bonus to my parents' home, resulting in my son not even being able to afford Dowry for his engagement.

As soon as the post was published, netizens went wild.

"Isn't this old woman stupid? She's so old, but she's still so ungrateful. I really need to learn something new!"

"That's right, if I were her husband, I would divorce her and kick her out of the house!"

"Her son is so pitiful. He has such bad luck to have such a mother!"

Then, my phone was flooded with calls from parents of students in the calligraphy training class.

"You can't judge a book by its cover. With your character, are you qualified to be a teacher? Bah, return your money now!"

"Otherwise I will report you to the Education Bureau and tear your face off!"

I clenched my fists, remained silent for a moment, and uttered a word.

"good!"

Originally, I planned to take a good rest after retirement.

I started a calligraphy class to teach students, just to supplement the family income.

Now it seems that those two ungrateful bastards are not worth my hard work at all!

Besides, I can’t sit still any longer!

But I didn’t expect that before I could fight back, netizens had already dug out my detailed information and address.

Some people even squatted at the entrance of Oakwood Community and insulted me to my face.

Even my neighbors threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at me.

"I hate vampires the most. They look like human beings, but I didn't expect them to be this kind of people!"

"That's right, living in an Oakwood Community is really unlucky!"

I was just about to explain when my cell phone rang.

It was his son calling. He was very proud.

"Mom, just take out the money! Otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen!"

I gnashed my teeth and cursed back.

"Take your mother! I've told you so many times that the money has long been spent by you and your son!"

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the bank with me to print out your bank statement..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bucket of slop was poured over him and the phone screen went black.

I had to go home and find an old phone and insert the card into it.

As soon as I turned on the phone, my brother Michael Grant called.

His tone was filled with worry.

"Are you okay? There's a lot of controversy online. Do you want me to help you deal with it?"

I instantly burst into tears and felt a little aggrieved.

I know my brother knows some big names in the media, but I don't want to trouble him.

When John and I got married, we had no money to buy a house, and he helped us with the down payment.

I sniffed, trying to look relaxed.

"It's okay, I can handle it! You take care of our mom, and don't worry about the rest!"

Even though he is my own flesh and blood, born after ten months of pregnancy, it would be better not to have such an ungrateful son!

If I remember correctly, my son is very concerned about his reputation, and his alumni reunion is in a few days. Suddenly, an idea came to my mind.

On that day, I held up a loud speaker, started a live broadcast, and went straight into The Grandview Hotel where they were having dinner.

Because he had been on the hot search list before, he was recognized by netizens as soon as the live broadcast started, and the number of people in the live broadcast room increased wildly.

At the beginning, most of the comments were cursing me, saying that I was a blood-sucking spendthrift.

But before long, the tone of the conversation began to shift.

"This woman's husband seems to be from our factory, earning 6,000 yuan a month. He often carries a cannon to the park to shoot birds. That footage costs at least hundreds of thousands!"

"What family would dare to do this? My family earns tens of millions a year and we wouldn't even want to do that!"

"But even so, there should be some left. How could there be nothing left?"

It seems that there are still some sensible people in the live broadcast room, although they are not many.

The money did go to another place. Today, I will reveal the answer in front of everyone and give that ungrateful father and son a slap in the face!

Thinking of this, I cleared my throat.

"Thank you to all the netizens for speaking out. I started broadcasting today just to let everyone see clearly whether I used my husband's money to subsidize my parents' home!"

"Who is lying, me or my son?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his son walked out of the private room of The Grandview Hotel, surrounded by dozens of high school classmates.

When he saw me live streaming in the lobby, he immediately got angry.

"Mom, what are you doing here? Go back now and stop embarrassing yourself here!"

A boy in a high-end suit next to him said disdainfully,

"Kevin, is this your mother who emptied out our family savings to support her mother's family? Seeing is believing!"

"What happened two days ago, you were not deliberately making trouble, were you? It's not easy for you at your age."

My son's face turned pale and he urged me to leave quickly.

I pushed him away and asked,

"When have I ever embarrassed myself? But you, talking nonsense and slandering your own family online, are you still right?"

"Since you insist that I was the one who squandered all the family's money, today, I will make it clear to you in front of everyone!"
