Too Bad I Take Things Seriously-Chapter 553 - 221: She’s not just my mom, why should I be the one to provide for her?_2

Chapter 553: Chapter 221: She’s not just my mom, why should I be the one to provide for her?_2

One by one, each and every one.

Those four sons...

After she became elderly, they never fulfilled their filial duties.

Even...

She hadn’t seen her fourth son for eight years.

Back in the day, she loved the youngest the most.

Yet...

After these sons grew up, they went their separate ways and started their own families.

She was completely forgotten.

"They weren’t like this before. After my husband passed away, they all wanted to take me to their homes, but the condition was that the more than two hundred thousand yuan savings my husband and I had saved should be handed over to them for safekeeping..."

Before her husband passed away, he left her some money.

But she felt that, being old, she should also keep some money for herself.

She only agreed to give each family ten thousand yuan.

Then, the four sons started arguing over this matter.

In the end, it turned into a huge mess.

The issue of her care had always been shirked by her four sons for various reasons.

Now that she had spent all that money, it was even less likely that her sons would look after her.

"Was it because of the inheritance?"

After hearing everything, Wang Dachui had an expression of sudden understanding.

What he had been puzzled about was why a close-knit family had suddenly come to this. After all, they were mother and sons. This kind of situation was really rare.

"Yes, indeed. These four scoundrels had their eyes on the more than two hundred thousand yuan in Cuihua’s hands, always fighting over her support. Once they knew she wouldn’t give it, they all ignored her one by one," Zhang Qingyuan, who was standing beside her, nodded, seething with frustration.

Obviously, he had known about these things beforehand.

"If these scoundrels hadn’t gone too far, I wouldn’t have recommended Xiao Qin to Cuihua." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

He turned around, looked at Qin Mu, and said seriously, "This time, I hope we can teach them a lesson."

When Qin Mu heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

He understood that the lesson Zhang Qingyuan spoke of was definitely not an ordinary one. The implication was to try and get the opposing side’s sentence increased as much as possible.

"Alright, today we’ll first gather evidence, then seek some testimonies from fellow villagers and neighbors, and then we can make a trip to the prosecutor’s office."

In the end, after they finalized the details, Qin Mu spoke up.

This case was special. They needed to make a trip to the prosecutor’s office first to obtain a letter of non-prosecution from them.

If the prosecutor’s office didn’t support prosecuting this type of case, they could proceed with a private prosecution.

「That evening, in a certain neighborhood in Jin City.」

Jiang Daping, who was in his fifties, returned home after work.

At dinner, he told his wife about what happened during the day.

"Sigh, your mom called again," he said.

His wife frowned, saying discontentedly, "What trouble is she trying to stir up this time? Is she asking us for money again?" This was about Feng Cuihua, her mother-in-law. Over the years, their relationship with Feng Cuihua had grown increasingly distant. The wife continued her tirade, the words tumbling out, "When our family was in trouble back then, we sought her help, but she wouldn’t give a dime. Now that she’s old, she thinks of us?" She snorted coldly. "You say we’re family, but she’s so stingy, she wouldn’t even help when her children were short of the down payment for a house. What kind of mother is that?"

"Daping, I’m telling you, don’t you secretly give her money."

"She might still be hiding a stash of cash, just trying to extract money from us." As she spoke, she scrutinized her husband, Feng Cuihua’s eldest son.

Jiang Daping rolled his eyes. Immediately displeased, he retorted, "You still don’t know me? When have I ever given her money all these years?"

"I hung up on her right away, told her to look for the others."

Their family had somewhat fallen apart ever since his father passed away. Back when they were dividing the inheritance, he had thought they could get some money to pool for a house down payment. But his father had directly made a will, giving all the money to his mother. Helplessly, he could only approach his mother, wanting some cash. But she wouldn’t give a dime. In the end, the families fell out. During festivals and holidays, they never visited.

At that moment, their five-year-old granddaughter came out, asking in her sweet voice, "Grandpa, Grandma, was that Great-Grandma on the phone?"

Seeing this, Jiang Daping rushed forward.

He held his granddaughter in his arms and said affectionately, "No, it was from a stranger."

His son had been working out of town for several years and had a daughter, but he never took care of her. It had always been Jiang Daping and his wife looking after her. As for Feng Cuihua’s situation, they never discussed it with the younger generation in their family. Even his own son only knew he had a grandmother, not even Feng Cuihua’s name. For him, none of this was important, as long as their immediate family was together and well.

「In another ordinary neighborhood in Jin City.」

Jiang Erping, exhausted from a day’s work, returned home.

At home, his daughter-in-law had already prepared dinner, and his son was also back.

"Dad, wash your hands. Let’s eat."

Jiang Erping nodded. After washing his hands, he sat at the dining table.

He had hardly taken a few bites when he couldn’t help but look at his son and say, "Today, your grandma called me."

His son was stunned for a moment. Only after a while did he reply, "Grandma? Didn’t she say we didn’t need to provide for her and she would go to live in a nursing home?"

A few years ago, when he was getting married, he was short on betrothal money. He had asked Feng Cuihua for money, but she wouldn’t part with a cent, always guarding her own nest egg. In the end, she had even harshly said that they didn’t need to provide for her.
