After My Rebirth, I Stayed Away From My Love-brained Son

In my previous life, I had stormed forward angrily, standing in front of Chris and accusing the Zacker family of their shamelessness.

This action caused a deep rift with the Zacker family, leading to their intense hatred towards me.

"If you can't afford a bride, then don't marry. What does your family's bride price have to do with mine? Why should I help you pay for the engagement money?

"My family only has 300,000 for the engagement money, and your daughter-in-law also requires 300,000. If that's the case, let Chris marry your daughter-in-law, and everything will be settled!

"Without a middleman to make a profit, everyone will be happy!"

Mrs. Zacker's face turned red with anger, looking like a shrew scolding in the streets.

"What are you saying!? It's so rude! After Jessica and Chris are married, aren't we all one family?"

"I didn't ask you to help pay for my son's engagement money; I just added 300,000 to Jessica's engagement money.

"How can three years of their relationship be measured with money? What does a mere 300,000 count for?"

I retorted angrily, showing no mercy to them.

"How dare you make such an absurd demand?

"Jessica, you know Chris' salary well. Our family's expenses are all supported by me. How much do you think he has to help your brother?

"Let me make it clear today: the 300,000 engagement money I promised won't be reduced by even a cent. But if you want extra money now, you won't get a single penny.

"If you marry, the wedding will proceed as planned. If not, then go back where you came from. Today's banquet will just be a meal for friends and family.

"Trying to pin me down? You're still too inexperienced!"

Probably seeing my resolute attitude and fearing that the marriage would really be called off, Jessica eventually obediently got off the wedding car and unwillingly completed the ceremony.

I thought my son would be grateful for me rescuing him, but instead, he angrily blamed me for not giving him face!

"Mom, how could you talk to Jessica like that? You embarrassed her in front of so many people!

"Adding to the engagement money was her mother's request, what does it have to do with her? What did she do wrong?

"Jessica blames me for not protecting her, and you made me lose all my face! Jessica was right; you're indeed a wicked mother-in-law!"

I looked at Chris in shock. "Have you lost your mind?

"You're married to Jessica, it's your responsibility to support her! But what does it mean that her entire family relies on you? Paying for her brother's engagement money? They're treating you like a fool!

"If you compromise this time, your future life won't be peaceful!"

Chris was furious. "Mom! I've grown up now. You don't need to interfere in Jessica and my matters anymore!

"You're always so domineering and selfish! Otherwise, my dad wouldn't have abandoned you!"

I raised my hand but couldn't bring myself to slap him.

As expected of my own son, he knew exactly where to hurt the most.

His father had an affair and abandoned both of us.

I thought that when he grew up, he would appreciate the hardships I endured to raise him and understand my difficulties.

But instead, it became a weapon for him to attack me.

I have truly failed as a mother.
