The story of husbands having secret funds and trying to hide them from their wives, with “treasures” stashed away in clever locations, is no longer a foreign tale to us. However, recently, a similar story was shared on gamer forums and garnered a lot of attention and interaction from the online community.
The husband in this story is a true gamer. To gamers, there’s no place more beloved, discreet, and close than their PC setup. Thus, the idea of hiding a secret stash in the computer drive suddenly became a perfect and highly reasonable solution. It’s always in sight, right beside them every night, yet discreet enough that their wife would hardly ever touch it, even while cleaning around. However, all plans went awry due to a clever and inquisitive son.
According to a report by Sina, this mischievous little boy lives in China and has been extremely curious and very intelligent since he was young. One day, while playing in a corner of the house, he saw his dad fiddling with the drive, putting something in it, and then putting it back together. With his natural curiosity and desire to imitate, the boy immediately followed his dad’s actions. Ironically, he chose the very moment his dad stepped outside to “practice” and showed off his achievement to his mom. The outcome was predictable; while the son was thrilled to have perfectly imitated his dad, the mother burst into laughter upon discovering a pile of hidden income, as well as learning that her husband had a secret stash all along.
The real victim here is the poor gamer dad. Years of hiding his secret fund with the dream of upgrading his PC have now gone up in smoke, and he’s sweating profusely under his wife’s intense questioning. Meanwhile, the innocent son wears a face of such innocence that it’s astonishing. This story quickly resonated with fellow gamers in many groups, and most expressed sympathy for the poor father, saying that despite being so careful, it seems fate had other plans.
