My husband won three million in the lottery, and he deposited all the winnings into my card.
"Wife, you've suffered a lot these years. From now on, you will be in charge of our family's money!"
I was very touched. On the day of my son's engagement, he made a big promise in front of his future in-laws without consulting me.
"A villa and a luxury car are no problem. Dowry 880,000! The remaining money is enough for us two old people to live on in our old age!"
I was stunned on the spot.
"Hubby, what are you talking about? We don't have any money."
When the future in-laws heard this, their faces changed immediately.
"Why are you pretending to be rich when you don't have money? And you want to have sex with my daughter for free? Dream on!"
The son even overturned the table.
"Mom, the three million is clearly in your card, why did you lie and say you didn't have the money!"
"Do you know how much effort I put into pursuing Sophia? You ruined it all!"
I didn't argue, but directly opened the app and showed him the balance.
But my son didn't believe me and insisted on going to the bank to print out the transaction records to see what I spent the money on.
Unexpectedly, I was not anxious, but my husband, who is known as a "good man", was anxious.
……
"Where's the money? Where did you take it? That's three million!"
My son Kevin Wilson glared at me and questioned me angrily.
I repeated helplessly,
"Didn't I tell you? It's all spent."
But my son didn't believe it at all.
In fact, when my husband John Wilson said he wanted to meet with the future in-laws to discuss his son’s marriage, I was a little hesitant.
Because the savings at home are not enough.
Seeing that he was so confident, I thought he had saved some private money and wanted to give his son a surprise.
Unexpectedly, after making such a boast, he actually pushed me out.
"Eight hundred and eighty thousand dowry is no problem, we have plenty of money!"
"But the savings are in my wife's hands, so I need her approval."
As soon as I finished speaking, everyone looked at me.
I was stunned.
"Hubby, we don't have any money. Let alone 880,000, we can't even take out 80,000..."
When the prospective in-laws heard this, their faces changed immediately.
"Why pretend to be rich if you don't have money? Aren't you afraid of getting your tongue hurt by bragging?"
"My daughter is so blind that she actually fell in love with your son!"
As they said that, they pulled their daughter and slammed the door and left.
My son tried to stop me, but was slapped in the face. He then turned around and vented his anger on me.
"Mom, why did you lie?"
"Do you know how much effort I put into catching up with Sophia? Now you've ruined it all!"
With no other options, I had to open the bank app and show it to him.
The balance of 9,388 on it completely broke my son's defense.
"This is impossible! You have the 3 million bonus and my dad's salary card. How could this be all you have left?"
"Tell me, have you done something shameful behind my dad's back?"
My heart sank. I never expected that the son I carried for ten months would say such words.
Seeing this, the husband glared at his son.
"How can you talk to your mother like that? Apologize!"
My son found some silver.
"Dad, it's already this late, why are you still protecting her? Three million! Not three hundred dollars. It's only been a few years, and this is all you have left!"
"I can apologize, but she has to explain where the money went!"
I dropped my chopsticks.
"Doesn't your family have to spend money? Did the money for your college education come from the wind?"
My son glanced at me and said contemptuously,
"Stop making excuses. How much does my schooling cost? What's more, there's also my dad's salary. You're just making excuses!"
