So, I said in the group, "The college expenses were earned by my own hard work; I didn't spend a single cent of my parents' money. What right do you have to ask me to pay it back?"
My brother replied, "Ning Ning, how can you say that? Even though you didn't spend our parents' money, what you earned still counts as family money! Mom and Dad raised you for so many years; you should give back a little, right?"
I retorted, "Give back? Ha, haven't I given enough? I worked for a year and sent Mom twenty thousand yuan. My contributions to the family are already substantial."
My mom chimed in the group chat, "Ning Ning, it's not that I want you to pay me back; I just miss you and hope you can come home to see me."
My brother said, "Ning Ning, did you hear that? Mom misses you; hurry back to see her."
I laughed. My mom misses me? She wouldn't care about that.
She can't wait for me to get married; how could she possibly miss me?
What she really means is that she wants me to come home so she can take the opportunity to marry me off.
Hearing my mom and brother's words, the relatives became even more excited.
"Second Aunt": "Ning Ning, did you hear? Your mom misses you; why aren't you rushing back?"
"Auntie": "Exactly! You really have a heart of stone. Your mom said that, and you're still unwilling to come back?"
"Second Uncle": "I think she's just gotten too independent and doesn't care about her mom anymore."
"Third Aunt": "Ning Ning, your brother is right. You have such a cold heart; your mom raised you for so many years, and you're actually ignoring her?"
"Aunt": "Ning Ning, hurry back and pay your mom back. She raised you for so many years; how can you spend her money without giving her anything in return?"
"Uncle": "That's right! Your brother is counting on your help; hurry up and return the money."
...
They all chimed in one after another, criticizing me as if I had committed some unforgivable crime.
It seemed that as long as I didn't go home or bring out the money, I was guilty of something heinous.
They seemed to have united to force me to go back and compel me to hand over the money to satisfy my mom's wishes.
Relatives' calls came one after another on my phone.
I didn't answer but focused on gathering evidence.
I took screenshots of all the part-time job information from my college days.
I saved the chat records where I asked my mom for living expenses and got scolded instead.
I saved the screenshots of the money I transferred to my mom every month after graduation. I also saved the recordings of my calls with her and with my brother and sister-in-law. After organizing all this evidence, I noticed that the atmosphere in the group chat had reached a climax. So, I decided to share all this evidence at once.
These pieces of evidence completely shattered the image my mom had carefully maintained for so many years. The relatives were stunned when they saw the screenshots.
Second Aunt: "What? Ning Ning had such a hard time during college? She didn't ask for a single cent in living expenses for four years?"
Auntie: "Yeah, her mom even lied to us, saying Ning Ning went on trips during college, but she was actually working."
Second Uncle: "Sister really is something; she bought a house for her son but gave nothing to her daughter."
Third Aunt: "Ning Ning has really had it tough; how could her mom be so biased?"
Aunt: "Exactly, Ning Ning is also her child; how could she treat her like this?"
Uncle: "Ning Ning, you must have really suffered all these years."
...
The relatives' stance suddenly took a complete turn. Just moments ago, they were on my mom's side, defending my brother and calling me selfish. Now, they were standing up for me and criticizing my mom for Gender Discrimination.
Seeing this evidence, my mom panicked. She quickly explained in the group chat: "That's not true! Don't listen to Ning Ning's Nonsense. She didn't suffer during college; she never worked; she's just lying to you all." My brother also Helped Out: "Yeah, Ning Ning is the biggest liar; don't believe what she says."
My Sister-in-law was even more furious: "Wen Ning, you little wretch! You're deliberately framing Mom; do you want to drive her to death?"
I laughed. Frame? Drive her to death? My Sister-in-law really knows how to exaggerate.
