A Farmer’s Surprise Reunion with His Wealthy Mother
At the age of 20, just_a_farmer_ had painfully etched memories of his parents’ divorce. He and his siblings were abandoned by their mother, leaving him with the weight of their absence. But little did she know that a surprise awaited her when she approached him for financial help.
In a Reddit community called “Entitled Parents,” the incredible “payback” that unfolded received thunderous applause and upvotes. But before revealing the details, let’s delve into the backstory of the parents’ separation.
The Heartbreaking Split
The man’s mother dropped a bombshell that shattered their family. She confessed that his two younger siblings were not his father’s children. She had been unfaithful and left the family in search of a wealthier man who could fulfill her luxurious desires.
His hardworking father, a farmer struggling to keep the family together, fought for custody in court. Unfortunately, she refused to take custody of her husband’s son, leaving him as a mere bystander. Little did she know that ten years later, her perspective would dramatically shift due to financial need.
Their Unexpected Reunion
One morning, while attending to his cattle, the young man received an urgent message from his father. His father’s angry expression made it clear that someone important was waiting to meet him, although he didn’t reveal who it was.
As he approached, he noticed a brand-new Porsche parked nearby. To his surprise, he saw his long-lost mother sitting in the driver’s seat. Uncertain of her intentions, he greeted her politely, but her response was one of disgust.
Belittling him for his work clothes and calling him an embarrassment, his mother wasted no time in getting to the point. She demanded that he give up his inheritance from his late grandfather. In her opinion, it was only fair for his sister to benefit from it as she was graduating that year.
Refusing to yield to his mother’s demands, he questioned why he should help his sister. He firmly believed that it was his mother’s responsibility to support her daughter, instead of relying on him. The conversation grew heated, and his mother appealed to his brotherly love, asking if he wouldn’t do “this much” for his sibling.
Apologizing, he acknowledged that his mother deserved the money. He excused himself, pretending to fetch his checkbook from his truck. Returning with a smile, he stood before her and asked her to hold out her hand. Confused, she watched in awe as he dropped a handful of pennies into her palm, collected from the cupholder in his truck just moments before.
Dumbfounded, his mother asked, “What’s this?” He replied, stating that he had given her the “little bit” she had asked for. Enraged, she threw the pennies at him and screamed before speeding away, leaving her son and their father embarrassed yet satisfied.
Deserving What She Got
But the story doesn’t end there. One day, as the man happily worked on a tractor in his shop, an unexpected visitor arrived. To his surprise, it was his mother’s new husband seeking to talk to him.
He had finally realized the truth about her manipulative behavior and excessive spending. Fed up with her relentless obsession with going to London, he surprised her with divorce papers instead of airplane tickets.
In retaliation, she left to stay with a cousin, threatening legal action without realizing she had unknowingly signed a prenuptial agreement. Her husband felt the need to inform the Reddit poster about the situation and warned him about his mother’s potential monetary requests, as she had been cut off financially. He also mentioned that the car she drove to visit her son had been taken back by the dealership.
The young farmer contemplated confronting his half-sister at her workplace but ultimately decided against it. He returned to his work, hoping that this would be the last update he would receive about his estranged family.
Readers on Reddit were in awe of his resilience and praised him for standing up for himself. They believed that karma had been served. One user commented, “You have one hell of a family… I’m glad your mother’s husband broke free!”
Without a doubt, this young farmer taught his mother a valuable lesson. In the end, he demonstrated that sometimes, karma has a way of balancing the scales.
