"The one who should get out is you!"Suddenly,a deep voice sounded.
Michael helped an old man who was trembling slightly come out.
I pursed my lips and smiled and called out,"Dad."
This person was my father-in-law who had been lying in the hospital for many years.
A few days ago,my father-in-law had already woken up,but my husband wasn't stupid.He had been keeping it a secret from Mrs.Thompson.
Two days ago,we had brought my father-in-law back from the hospital to recuperate.
I brought a chair from the dining table and let my father-in-law sit down.
My father-in-law smiled slightly,"Lisa,you've really had a tough time these years.Don't worry.I'll get justice for you!"
My mother-in-law forced a smile in disbelief,"Honey,you're...you're awake?"
My father-in-law angrily picked up his crutch and knocked it on the floor,"Hmph!Mrs.Thompson,you didn't expect me to wake up one day,did you?I never thought you could be so cruel.You took my money but didn't spend it on our family.Instead,you used it to keep this gigolo!"
My mother-in-law immediately jumped up and pointed at my father-in-law,cursing,"What gigolo?I divorced you a long time ago,Mr.Thompson.It's legal for me to fall in love.It's none of your business!"
As early as the fifth year after my father-in-law became a vegetable,my mother-in-law had filed for divorce.In short,she was still young and didn't want to stay with my father-in-law for the rest of her life.But she had also arranged everything for my father-in-law according to the legal regulations.
"Yes,your business is none of my business.But what about my money?Where's my compensation?You didn't give a single cent to our son and daughter-in-law.Instead,you spent it all on your gigolo!"
My mother-in-law was exposed by my father-in-law,and a sense of humiliation welled up in her.She tried to regain the upper hand,"Mr.Thompson,don't you need money for your hospital stay?Doesn't your son need money for his marriage?Your money has already been spent.Now,all the money I'm spending is my own!"
Everyone frowned and remained silent.Everyone knew that my mother-in-law had always stayed at home and had never gone out to earn money.My father-in-law had been the one to support the family,and even a maid had helped with the cooking.
My father-in-law sighed,"Mrs.Thompson,I'm not going to argue with you about these things.Michael,bring out that will and inheritance document."
A long time ago,my father-in-law had already written a will at a law firm.His property would be divided into two parts in case of any accident or his death.One part was for my mother-in-law,and the other part was for my husband.My mother-in-law knew nothing about this.
My mother-in-law took the will and looked at my father-in-law in shock,"Mr.Thompson,I never thought you were so wary of me!Fine.So you're all one family,and I'm the outsider!"
"Okay,I'll return the money to you tomorrow.From now on,we're done with each other!"
She grabbed Jack and was about to leave.
