I Sent My Mother $1.5 Million Pesos Every Month to Care for My Wife After Childbirth — Then I Came Home Early and Found Her Eating Spoiled Rice With Fish Heads
4. I Remembered the Money I Had Been Sending
I couldn’t stop thinking about the money.
Every month, I transferred 1.5 million pesos to my mother.
I had explained exactly why I was sending it.
My wife had just given birth.
She needed nutritious meals, enough rest, and help with the baby.
I worked long hours, so I trusted my mother to make sure Hue was comfortable while I was away.
My mother had agreed enthusiastically.
She told me that she understood what a woman needed after childbirth because she had raised children herself.
She promised that Hue would never have to worry about cooking or cleaning.
I believed her.
I never asked for receipts.
I never checked every meal.
I simply assumed that the money was being used for the purpose I had explained.
Now, standing in front of my wife, I realized that something was seriously wrong.
If she was receiving proper meals and care, why was she eating spoiled leftovers in secret?
I pulled out a chair and sat beside her.
“Hue, I need you to tell me the truth. What has been happening in this house?”
