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.
