I heard my husband say behind me, "Don't care about her. She's going through menopause. An aging woman like her can't be compared to a young woman like you. Jennifer, how much do you charge for your classes?"
In my previous life, since they knew Jennifer, my son and husband wore yoga pants every day, whether at home or going out.
I felt disgusted and asked them to restrain themselves.
My husband Eric said, "You don't understand modern aesthetics at all. The pants are lightweight, thin, and beautiful. They are much better than the ugly clothes you bought for me."
Well, beauty was in the eye of the beholder.
At the end of the month, when I transferred the maintenance to my parents-in-law, I found that 40,000 dollars was missing from the bank card.
I asked Eric what happened.
He said, "Don't clothes cost money? Yoga pants cost 2,000 dollars each. I bought ten of them for both our son and myself."
I immediately got angry, "I don't even spend 2,000 dollars on clothes in a year. Your parents' maintenance and our son's monthly tuition fees both need money! Do you know how long it takes for us to save 40,000 dollars? Six months!"
I knew very well that no yoga pants would be worth 2,000 dollars.
I wanted to go to Jennifer for a refund, but Eric said that all the pants had been worn.
"Don't make a fuss. We are neighbors. We've already bought them, and it's not like we can't wear them. I can just earn more money in the future and make up for it."
He begged me humbly, washed my feet, and massaged me to appease me.
I'd already learned my lesson with 40,000 dollars.
Little did I know, he paid another 20,000 dollars for private lessons for our son!
By the time I realized it, my son was firmly on his side.
"Aren't my hobbies more important than money? Mom, do you really love me?"
I needed to finish all the chores and 1,000 Uber orders to earn 20,000 dollars.
In my previous life, I reluctantly agreed, only to see them become even more excessive.
I worked hard and sacrifice for this family, so I couldn't just watch them squander my money.
After leaving Jennifer's place, I immediately found all the passbooks and bank cards.
I now only wanted to protect myself, not this family.
According to the memory of my previous life, I already had a malignant tumor in my stomach and needed to go to the hospital for treatment immediately.
