Chapter 1The School Bully's Delusional Mother

In my daughter's class group chat, a mother named Karen suddenly tagged me:

"I heard you signed Lily up for a $10,000 summer camp?"

"Are you crazy? Wasting my son's money like that? That's enough for my family's living expenses for a whole year!"

I was baffled. I replied directly:

"Who are you? What business is it of yours?"

She immediately sent a voice message:

"I'm your daughter's future mother-in-law. She's going to marry my son."

"If you spend so recklessly on her now, how will they live in the future? You're ruining my son's life!"

"Transfer all your family's money to me for safekeeping right now! Immediately!"

What a psycho. I gripped my phone and fired back:

"I don't even know you. My daughter is 5! If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll rip that mouth off your face."

* * *

Seeing that I wasn't giving her any face, Karen cursed even harder:

"You cheap b*tch, I'm reminding you out of kindness and you curse at me?"

"Unbelievable! Just thinking about being in-laws with someone like you makes me sick."

"I'm telling you, if you don't teach Lily correct spending habits now, my son will dump her later."

Is she insane? What is she even talking about?

I didn't know her, but I knew her son, Kevin. He was the class bully.

Every day, someone complained about him hitting or cursing at other kids.

He even tried to pull girls' pants down.

Lily told me once he hugged her and kissed her face.

I told her to stay away from him immediately.

I thought only Kevin was weird, but it turns out his mother is even worse.

She kept ranting in the group chat:

"I'm warning you, all your family's money belongs to my son in the future. You have no right to waste it!"

"Cancel that $10,000 camp right now! Spending that much on a little girl is insane."

"Don't you know my family doesn't even turn on the AC to save money?"

Idiot!

I dismissed her as a lunatic and ignored her.

But she kept DMing me: "I'm your in-law, accept my request!"

I rejected it without hesitation.

She tried again: "You can't raise a child properly, I'll help you. Accept!"

I rejected again and blocked her.

Left with no choice, she tagged me in the group again:

"Why are you so stubborn? Send me your address right now. I'm coming over to discipline my daughter-in-law."

Before I could speak, other parents jumped in:

"Kevin's mom, what are you doing? The kids are in kindergarten. What's this about in-laws and daughters-in-law?"

"Exactly, it's bizarre. They need you to educate their kid? Manage your own little devil first. Stop being a nuisance in the class!"

"Seriously, how many complaints has he gotten? As a mother, you should reflect on yourself."

Seeing everyone against her, Karen exploded:

"What do you idiots know? Last month my son kissed Lily's face. She belongs to him now."

"What's wrong with me disciplining and nurturing her in advance?"
