Just Because I Turned on the AC When It Got Cold, My Son's Family Kicked Me OutChapter 1

Recently, the weather suddenly turned colder and I could not bear it, so I caught a fever. To avoid infecting my son’s family, I took some medicine and turned on the air conditioner.

That evening, I heard my son and daughter-in-law talking in their room.

My daughter-in-law said, disgusted, “The air conditioner uses so much electricity, but she still has the nerve to turn it on?”

“I bet she never turned on the air conditioner in her own house.”

“If you ask me, we should just have her move out and rent a place of her own.”

My son hesitated and said, “I spent half a month convincing Mom to sell her old house so we could bring her here to live with us and take care of her. Wouldn’t be right to kick her out now, would it?”

“Besides, the old house hasn't sold yet and we haven't got the money.”

My daughter-in-law whispered, “Tomorrow, take back her keys so she can't enter our place.”

“Once she leaves, we'll pretend we’re going on a trip. If she knocks, don’t open the door. Then, we'll call her and tell her to find a place to stay."

"After she sells the house, we confront her and drive her away."
