The Meddlesome Mother-in-Law

My mother-in-law Missi Serio stole the bracelet.

She liked to meddle in other people's business.

She criticized me for buying snacks and scolded me for buying nice clothes, but I didn't say anything.

Until she stole the gold bracelet my mother bought for my son Houson, and still had the nerve to say, "I took my grandson's things, what can you do about it?"

Well, since she has no shame, I won't give her face either.

***

My mother's gold bracelet for Houson was stolen by Missi.

That day, I was in the living room breastfeeding Houson when I heard rustling sounds coming from the bedroom.

At that time, I didn't think much of it. A few days later, when I wanted to put the gold bracelet on Houson, I found it missing.

I have been having trouble sleeping, so I installed a small camera in the bedroom to record my sleep time. It happened to be aimed at the bedside table.

So I checked the surveillance footage and discovered that Missi stole the gold bracelet my mother bought for Houson while I was breastfeeding.

I immediately questioned Missi, "Did you take Houson's gold bracelet?"

I thought she would deny it, but she stood with her hands on her hips and said confidently, "Yes, I took it. Can you control what I do with my grandson's gold bracelet?"

Missi has always been unreasonable, but I didn't expect her to be so shameless.

"Why does a little child need to wear a gold bracelet? It's better off with me."

Missi always likes to interfere in my business.

Whenever she saw me eating the spicy chicken I bought online, she would say, "Eating, eating, eating. After a meal, you still eat snacks. Have you starved yourself to death in the last life?"

When I come back with new clothes, she would also say, "Buying new clothes again. Your money is always wasted like this. I've been so unlucky to have a daughter-in-law like you."

I didn't take these things to heart, but she actually stole something.

When my husband, Samuel Turner, heard our argument, he quickly came over to see what was going on.

After understanding the whole story, he started to mediate, "Ariana, if mom took something, just ask her to return it. There's no need to make such a big fuss. We are all family."

My anger was still rising, but if Missi is willing to return it, then this matter can be dropped.

Hearing what Samuel said, Missi didn't say much either. She hesitated, and I thought she was going to get it from the room.

But after waiting for a long time, she didn't move at all.

Samuel also became anxious and urged his mother, "Mom, just take it out. Ariana is waiting."

I crossed my arms and watched the two of them.

Seeing the situation, Missi hesitated and said loudly, "I gave the bracelet to someone else."

I suddenly felt agitated, standing up, and Samuel held me down and asked Missi, "Who did you give it to?"

Missi still had a straight face and said confidently, "A friend."

Missi is notoriously stingy. She doesn't have a single friend, so it's impossible for her to be generous and give things to others.

I glanced at her sideways and said, "Oh, really?"

Samuel saw the situation and pulled her aside, whispering, "Mom, it's already this point, please stop lying."

The two of them talked in the corner for a long time before Missi finally spoke up.
