After getting fired from my job, I unexpectedly won two hundred million dollars in the lottery. However, my wife, who had promised to pick me up, left me stranded.
I trudged ten kilometers home through the pouring rain, only to find my wife throwing an extravagant welcome party for her first love at our place. When they mentioned me, everyone looked down their noses.
My mother-in-law rolled her eyes and said, "That deadbeat lost his job, and you still want to pick him up after work? Nobody let him in later!"
My ten-year-old daughter clapped in agreement, "Grandma's right, Mom should divorce that loser! I don't want to call a loser my dad anymore; I like Uncle Liam, who's handsome, rich, and can buy me limited edition Barbie dolls!"
My heart felt like it dropped into freezing water as I looked at my beloved wife.
But she just laughed softly and said, "We've been married a night, so there's some attachment. As long as he agrees to let Liam move in and rekindle our past, I can let him be my husband in name. What's wrong with him living off me for a few years?"
At that moment, I realized the real fool was me.
But when I actually suggested a divorce as she wanted, they regretted it deeply after seeing me in a luxury car with my new wife and newborn daughter.

"Mom, let Uncle Liam sit next to you, and Grandma and I will make a heart behind you..."
As I opened the door, my wife, daughter, and mother-in-law were taking a family photo on the couch with a stranger.
They were all huddled together, grinning widely at the camera.
When they heard the door, they finally noticed me.
Their smiles froze.
The atmosphere was tense for a moment.
Then, the laughter continued, as if I were invisible. They changed positions and kept taking photos.
Not a single person acknowledged me.
It wasn't until they finished taking photos that my mother-in-law gave me a disdainful look and said:
"Oh, Ethan, you have legs, you can walk back, can't you?"
"I thought you got laid off and forgot how to walk, and that Olivia had to pick you up."
I was drenched and my hands and feet were numb from the cold.
After being laid off today, a storm hit. My wife had promised to pick me up after work, but she never showed up, even late at night.
I walked ten kilometers in the rain to get home.
Before I entered, I heard their disdain and ridicule behind my back.
I just didn't expect that even after I returned home, they would still ignore me and laugh with another man.
A bitter feeling arose in my heart, I opened my mouth to speak.
Suddenly a cake was thrown at me!
Splat!
My face was covered in cream. I looked up.
My daughter, Ava, was hiding behind the man, looking at me with disdain:
"Dad is lazy! He doesn't work hard to earn money for me and mom, such a loser!"
"Not even worth Uncle Liam's toe!"
My heart was suddenly pierced with pain.
This was the daughter I had loved for ten years.
Facing her mother's first love, Liam, she was full of admiration and joy, but...
