Lose money because of greed

Anh was still sleeping soundly when she was startled by her mother's phone ringing. Mrs. Thanh's voice choked up:

- Anh, I lost all my money, I'm sorry.

- What's wrong? Mom, calm down and tell me clearly, Anh asked her mother again.

- It's because you're foolish. You trust people. You're greedy. It's all because of you, Mrs. Thanh complained.

Anh tried to calm her mother down and asked her what had happened. Mrs. Thanh cried and told:

- The money I asked my mother to deposit in the bank, but the interest was not high. At that time, a close friend told me that if I had money, I could lend it to her to invest in business. She promised to pay me interest regularly and several times higher than the bank. At first, my mother was worried, but seeing that many people in the village had pooled money with her and were paid interest regularly, she followed suit.

For the past three months, she has been paying her mother's interest regularly. She felt reassured, so she withdrew another hundred million to lend her the rest. But these past few days, the whole village has been buzzing about her going bankrupt and leaving home. What should I do now, my child?

After hearing what her mother said, Anh was stunned. All the hard work she had done in a foreign land had suddenly been lost. Anh turned to blame her mother:

- I asked you to deposit the money in the bank, but you used it for something else without telling me. Now that things have come to this, what should I do?

- I know I was wrong, Mrs. Thanh said in tears.

Anh sadly:

- Mom told those who were scammed to gather at the police station to report the incident so they can help handle it. Gathering at their house won't solve anything. Mom, don't ever let yourself be scammed like that again.

- I've given up!
