In recent years, I have accumulated experience working in a wedding dress shop and started my own studio. Business gradually improved, and three years later, I paid a down payment of 250,000 and bought my own home in New Town. However, my parents' situation has not been as good.
They continue to spend money lavishly and are not very good at managing finances. My father has gone through one female friend after another. The "true love" he used to talk about often either took his money and left or disappeared with it. In the end, only my mother remained, still devotedly following him.
Perhaps after hearing too many sayings like "a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a mistress, and a mistress is not as good as one who cannot be had," my father recently became infatuated with younger girls. However, these young girls are not foolish. After learning about his financial situation, they would simply block and delete him.
My father then began to set his sights on the houses belonging to me and my brother. He first coaxed Xiao Ming into transferring the house to him, and then he went on to persuade my mother. "I've had someone check; our house has bad feng shui. Only by transferring the children's houses to me can we break this cycle."
"When the houses are transferred to me, I'll buy a large commercial property outright and rent it out. From then on, you and the kids will only need to live off the rental income."
When my mother heard this, she was naturally delighted at the prospect of getting money without having to work. Xiao Li scoffed and turned away. She couldn't be bothered to remind everyone that once the house was transferred, it would belong solely to my father.
After much persuasion, my mother finally convinced Xiao Ming. When I returned from a month-long business trip, I found out that Xiao Ming's house had already been transferred. I called Xiao Ming and asked him why he did that. He stammered, "Mom said to give the house to Dad; when I get married, he'll pay for it."
I was both angry and amused: "Did she also tell you that by giving the house to Dad, you won't have any burden for retirement?"
Xiao Ming sat in silence, feeling guilty. Ever since he transferred the house to his father, his father had been frequently going out and rarely coming home. Gradually, rumors began to spread that he was involved with several women.
His mother was furious and argued with people outside, saying, "My husband He is not that kind of person; someone must be spreading rumors!" She passionately defended him, unaware that her husband was sitting on a nearby bench laughing heartily with another woman. Someone captured this scene and shared it in a group where My Mom was present. The crowd was in an uproar.
When his mother returned home, she cried all night. The next day, she opened the door with swollen eyes and found his father sitting in the living room. He smiled and handed her a box, saying, "I know you like this, so I specially bought it for you."
When she opened it, she found a silver necklace. She immediately turned her tears into laughter and threw herself into her father's arms, saying, "Old He, I knew you loved me the most." She happily put it on and admired herself in the mirror for a long time, completely forgetting her earlier grievances.
Xiao Li advised her, "Mom, you should divorce him; this life is unbearable." My Mom not only dismissed the suggestion but also vented her anger on Xiao Li: "You little brat, are you hoping for us to get divorced?"
Xiao Li cried out of frustration: "I just don't want to see you live a miserable life; if you don't appreciate my concern, then forget it."
Angered by her parents' actions, Xiao Li swore never to involve herself in family matters again. She rarely returned home after that.
I watched as my father's money flowed away like water. He had no real ability to earn money but always dreamed big. Seeing those around him getting rich made him anxious. As a result, he invested all his money into one project after another. Without exception, they all ended in losses.
Wealth flows away as quickly as a waterfall. It is consumed by the women around me and by one project after another. By the time my father had squandered all his money, he remembered me. He heard that I was doing well, having bought a house and a car. He planned to sue me for alimony. He inquired about my whereabouts but found nothing. He had no idea where I was.
Xiao Wanwan reminded me, "Make sure not to tell them where you are." I didn't tell her that I had already made preparations. My salary, bonuses, and properties are not under my name. My bank account only shows a monthly salary of two thousand yuan. Even if it really went to court, I wouldn't be afraid. In fact, I was somewhat looking forward to what would happen after my father sued me. Although I knew this might bring me trouble, I wasn't scared!
