My three top-achieving sons said they would save $5,000 a month for my retirement fund.

"Mom, you've worked hard all your life, it's time to enjoy your life!"

In my previous life, I was deeply moved and thought I had finally made it.

It wasn't until I was diagnosed with cancer ten years later that I realized I couldn't even use the Golden Years Fund to pay the 5,000 deposit.

Soon after, my eldest brother called and said that he was short of $200,000 to buy a house and needed to use my pension money first.

The second son rushed to the hospital with his daughter-in-law and grandson, but he didn't care about my condition at all. He directly asked for money to enroll the child in the Euro Scholars Program worth 100,000.

The third brother followed suit and asked me to give him $80,000 to help him buy a new car.

When they found out that there was no money in the card, the three brothers were all furious.

"The three of us put $5,000 into the card every month, which means 1.8 million dollars in 10 years. You say we don't have money? How is that possible!"

In order to find out the whereabouts of the retirement fund, they mobilized their relatives and friends to interrogate me and even accused me of elderly misconduct.

Unable to bear the mental pressure, I lost consciousness and fell down the stairs, and died on the spot.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day when I paid the hospital deposit.

……

"Eleanor's family? Please go to the first floor to pay the hospital deposit."

When I heard the nurse's voice, I shuddered and subconsciously clenched the Golden Years Fund in my hand.

But this time, I didn't swipe the card. Instead, I asked Margaret for help directly, who was thousands of miles away.

Then the phone rang. It was the boss, Liam Miller.

There was urgency in his voice.

"Mom, I've seen a School-district property in a great location. I've already paid the deposit, and I'm just $200,000 short!"

"The money in your Golden Years Fund is just sitting there anyway, why don't you give it to me first to make some cash flow, okay?"

When I heard these familiar words, I realized that I was truly reborn.

In my previous life, after raising my three sons to become top students, they suddenly decided to save a retirement fund for me.

"Mom, Dad passed away early. It was not easy for you to raise the three of us. You suffered a lot, and we all remember it in our hearts."

"Now that we are working, it's time for you to enjoy yourself!"

"From now on, the three of us will deposit $5,000 into your Golden Years Fund every month to build a retirement fund for you. How about that?"

From then on, for a full ten years, I received three bank text messages every month, no more, no less, exactly $5,000.

Deposit money into the exclusive Golden Years Fund on time without interruption.

This card has become my confidence and a guarantee for my retirement.

All the neighbors around me envy me for my good fortune and my happy ending after all the hardship I have endured.

But I didn't expect that my nightmare was also caused by this card.

When I went to the hospital to pay the bill, I learned that this card couldn't even be used to pay a four-digit deposit. My mind went blank and I immediately told the boss who called me about it.

But I didn't expect that the boss would question me without any reason.

"The three of us put $5,000 into the card every month without fail. In ten years, that's 1.8 million dollers. How can we be broke?"

"Mom, don't play dumb. We saved this money for your retirement, not for you to spend carelessly!"

"Hurry up and transfer the money over. Two hundred thousand, not a cent less. I'm still waiting for the contract to be signed!"

The disappearance of the retirement fund left me full of doubts and grievances.

I know it's not easy for children to make money, so in the past ten years, I have to think for a long time even before buying myself a new piece of clothing.

How is it possible to misappropriate this money at will?

But before I could say anything, the second and third children rushed to the hospital.

I thought they were coming to visit me and pay for my surgery.

Unexpectedly, the second child asked for $100,000, saying that he wanted to enroll his son who was in junior high school in the Euro Scholars Program.

"Mom, Oliver is your grandson. Although one hundred thousand is not a small amount, you have nearly two million in your account. It's not too much to spend on Oliver, right?"

The third brother took a fancy to the latest electric car and asked me to sponsor him $80,000.

When they found out there was no money in the card, as expected, they started questioning me with sullen faces, just like the eldest brother.

But I clearly didn't touch a penny of that money!

It was not until I was almost driven to death that I finally found out the whereabouts of the money.

Thinking of this, I clenched my fists and almost crushed the Golden Years Fund.

At this time, the boss was getting impatient.

"Mom, did you hear me? Transfer me $200,000 first for emergency..."

Before he could finish, I took a deep breath and interrupted him coldly.

“No money!”

Then, with a click, he hung up the phone.

In my previous life, after getting the test results, I was very panicked and burst into tears on the spot.

The doctor quickly comforted me and said that although it was cancer, fortunately it was small in size and discovered early, and it could be cured as long as it was surgically removed in time.

Thinking about my three sons who were busy with work and couldn’t spare the time, I thought again and again and decided not to trouble them and go for the surgery myself.

But I didn’t expect that the $5,000 hospitalization deposit would lead me to discover the secret of the Golden Years Fund.

The disease didn't take me away, but what really killed me were my three sons whom I raised alone with great difficulty.

Thinking of this, I felt a chill in my heart.

But fortunately in this life, after Margaret received my call for help, she immediately transferred me $100,000.

I also asked someone I knew in the hospital to arrange a VIP ward for me and hired a nurse.

She told me not to think about anything and wait until the surgery is done tomorrow.

But to be on the safe side, I still told the nurses at the station not to reveal my ward number to anyone.

Then I asked Emily, who works in a bank, to print out the transaction records of the Golden Years Fund for the past ten years.

Because of the long time span, it is a bit slow.

But she promised me that she could send the electronic version to my mobile phone after three hours.

After doing all this, I felt a little relieved.

But unexpectedly, the next second, the door of the ward was pushed open with a bang.

It was the second oldest, Ethan Miller, followed by his grandson Oliver Miller and daughter-in-law Chloe Bennett.

I sighed. I didn't expect that despite all my precautions, he still found me.

The second brother quickly looked around the ward, clicked his tongue twice, rushed to the bed, and sat down.

"Mom, you didn't even tell me you were in the hospital. I was so worried!"

I sneered and moved the arm that was receiving the IV drip that he was pressing down on.

He said he was worried, but he never asked about my condition. No one would believe him.

Then he continued,

"It's like this, Oliver's school organized a summer camp, where they can study at top schools abroad, it's a rare opportunity!"

"It's just that the fee is a little high, one hundred thousand. If I hadn't invested all my money in the project, I wouldn't have asked you for this. You see..."

Before he could finish, I interrupted him expressionlessly and coldly.

“No money!”

When the second brother heard this, he jumped up and down immediately.

"No money? How is that possible! You paid $80,000 for the surgery in one lump sum, and it comes with a luxurious ward and nursing staff. Do you think I'm blind?"

"Mom, that money was saved by the three of us brothers for your retirement, not for you to squander like this!"

"Besides, I don't need much, only 100,000, and there's 1.8 million in that card!"

Seeing that I looked unhappy, my daughter-in-law came out to smooth things over, but her voice became a little higher.

"Mom, Oliver is your grandson. If you really don't want to spend money on him, I can ask Ethan to make up for it when his project bonus comes out, isn't that all?"

My grandson Oliver also pulled my arm and urged me impatiently.

"Grandma, please pay quickly, or there will be no more spots..."

Several family members passing by the ward pointed at me and whispered.

"My son is so filial, he gave her 1.8 million for her retirement, but she is reluctant to spend even 100,000 on her grandson. She is too stingy!"

"That's right. She keeps saying she has no money, but she lives in a luxurious ward. She's taking advantage of her son!"

After the nurse came back with the hot water, the look in his eyes when he looked at me became a little strange.

She hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke.

"Auntie, why don't you just give me the money?"

"You are not poor. Why would you make your family unhappy over such a small matter?"

Even after being reborn, I still get so angry that my whole body trembles when I hear these words again.

I know that no matter how much I explain now, it will be useless. Only when the bank statements come out will they shut up.

But all the hospital expenses were clearly paid by Margaret.

I just couldn't get over this, so I pulled out the needle, stood up, and went to get the payment slip to show them.

The second child thought that I was persuaded to give him the Golden Years Fund.

His face lit up with joy and he quickly came over to help me.

But unexpectedly, as soon as I got out of bed, I staggered and passed out.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already evening. I felt dizzy and the nurse was changing the IV bottle for me.

Seeing that I was awake, the second brother immediately became energetic.

"Mom, you finally woke up. I was so scared!"

Then he complained to me,

"If you don't want to pay, just say so. Why bother pretending to faint and scare people?"

I was so angry that I laughed? Was he pretending to be unconscious in order to avoid paying?

What did he think of me? A cash machine that held their filial piety?

But even the ATM had already been emptied by them.

I wanted to refute and fight back, but before I could say anything, I heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

No need to ask, it’s the third child, Noah Miller.

"My second brother is here too?"

He glanced at his second brother, and finally locked his eyes on me.

"Mom, I've found a car that I like, and it has amazing performance, but I'm just short of $80,000. Can you give me some of your retirement fund to help me out? I promise, I'll give you the money as soon as I get my bonus next month!"

As he said this, he was about to come over and search my pockets.

When the second brother heard this, he refused to do it and quickly stopped him.

"Noah, what are you doing? Our mother's money is for Oliver to go abroad, that's the real thing. Will you die if you buy that crappy car later?"

The third brother stuck his neck out and refused to give in.

"What's that? You don't understand, brother. This is called technology!"

"It's important for my nephew to go abroad, but my career is on the rise. How can I maintain my reputation without a nice car? How will my clients view me?"

"Mom, please be fair!"

The second one was also anxious.

"Mom, Oliver is your grandson!"

The third brother rolled his eyes.

"I bought a car for work, otherwise how can I make more money to support my mother?"

The two brothers were arguing with each other. One of them wanted me to pay to send his grandson abroad, and the other wanted to use my Golden Years Fund to buy a car.

Neither of them even cared to ask me,

"Mom, are you feeling uncomfortable? When will the surgery be performed?"

This is the top student that I spent all my efforts on and even sold the only small house I and my wife had to support?

If I hadn't been reborn, I wouldn't even dare to believe that all this was true.

At this moment, the nurse suddenly pushed the door open and said anxiously,

"Aunt, something bad has happened. A man who claims to be your eldest son wants to refund the money for your surgery tomorrow."
