Rebirth: After I Gave Up, My Daughter-in-law Cried

As soon as I said, they were silent.

After a long silence, Kathy broke it by saying, "Mom, what are you joking about?"

"You and dad have been together for half a lifetime. Is there anything that can't be discussed properly? Is it necessary to go to the point of divorce?"

Jame also persuaded me. "Mom, look at the neighbors, who at your age get divorced? They all stay together for the sake of their children!"

Jame hesitated for a moment and then said, "If you divorce at your age, our relatives laughed at us."

I chuckled lightly.

Since I had cancer and didn't have much time left, why should I be afraid of being laughed at by others?

Besides, I understand the thoughts of Jame and Kathy.

Kathy was now pregnant with her second child. After the second baby was born, she needed someone to take care of her during the confinement period. Moreover, my eldest grandson needed someone to take care of him when he went to kindergarten. Not to mention, there were various household chores that need to be done.

Hiring a top-notch confinement nanny costs at least 1500 dollars per month, and hiring a nanny that would cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Jame was just an ordinary employee in a private company. After Kathy became pregnant and couldn't work, they simply could not afford such heavy expenses.

They thought that taking care of Kathy during her confinement period, taking care of Kimi, doing laundry and cooking were all things that I, as a mother, should do.

Therefore, they strongly opposed my divorce.

This time, I didn't intend to indulge them.

I turned to Jame and sarcastically said, "Do you not want me to divorce because you're afraid of being laughed at, or because you're afraid of losing a maid who will serve you in the future?"

Jame awkwardly coughed and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? As children, we definitely consider your feelings!"

"Oh, is that so?" I raised my mouth and said, "Since you consider my feelings, then first return the 50 thousand dollars down payment for the house that I paid for you."

When it came to money, Jame's expression froze instantly.

"Mom... how can a mother ask her child for money... besides, you volunteered to help us with the money in the past!" Jame lowers his voice.

"I helped you, but I didn't say that you don't have to pay it back, right? Now Kimi has grown up, and you have been living in this house for six or seven years. It's time to pay back the money."

Seeing that my son was not convinced, Kathy hurriedly came over and says to me, "Mom, Jame is not sensible, don't argue with him!"

"But... even if you don't consider your own reputation, you should consider Kimi! You raised Kimi by yourself until he was six years old. Are you really willing to leave him?"

When it comes to my grandson, I sneer.

Seeing me smile, Kathy thinks that I have been persuaded.

"Mom, I knew you couldn't bear to leave Kimi! Just stay at home and don't go anywhere. After a while, I will ask Jame to take you to the hospital for treatment! Kimi still hopes that you will live a long life and take care of you in your old age!"

I looked at the Kimi next to me. He was holding a toy gun and pointing it at me with the muzzle, constantly saying, "Kill you, kill you."

I sneered, "Your words are more beautiful than your behavior, you can't even afford my medical expenses for cancer treatment. You even have to buy a discounted urn for me. I can't rely on you, can I rely on my grandson?"

Kathy was extremely embarrassed and hurriedly tugged at Jame's clothes, signaling him to say something.

With determination, Jame said to me, "It is said that the elderly need the consent of their children to get divorced. Anyway, I strongly disagree with your divorce!"

"Oh," I didn't even lift my eyelids and then said.

Jame still had something to say, but seeing my indifferent attitude, he swallowed his words.

At this moment, Marcus who had been silent for a long time suddenly slammed the table.

"Enough! Do you think this family is not chaotic enough? Sit down!"

I had been married to Marcus for over forty years, so I know him best. Every time after everyone finished arguing, he would come out and pretend to be in charge, to show his authority as the head of the family.

This time, I wouldn't indulge him.

Before Marcus finished speaking, I didn't even give him a glance. I walked straight to my room and started packing.

"Dad! Aren't you going to stop mom? If mom leaves, who will take care of Kathy during her confinement period after giving birth!" Jame's voice came from behind the wall.

Then I heard another voice. "Don't worry, your mother dare not divorce! After so many years, I know her well. She can't live without me..."

Before Marcus finished speaking, I appeared in front of everyone with a suitcase in my hand.

"You! You..." Marcus didn't expect me to decided to leave. He looked at me, who was ready to leave home, and was so angry that his fingers trembled.

Jame and Kathy looked panicked and were at a loss.

I looked at them disdainfully, pushed the suitcase, and left without paying attention to the obstruction of Jame and Kathy.

"Bang!"

The moment the door closed, I felt a sense of joy that I had never experienced in the past sixty-six years.

I did the things that they did not expect.
