Chapter 5 — 3.6 Million Yuan And The End For A Greedy Family

The opportunity... came faster than I thought. Co Xuyen lost contact. He didn't dare go home, because the house was running out of money, and the landlord was pushing the rent more and more each day. He also didn't dare to look for me, because he knew... his last card had been turned over by me. I don't even dare to face debt collectors. So, he chose to hide. But hiding from people... can't hide from debt. Loan sharks have never been gentle people. After several days of not being able to contact Co Xuyen, they relied on the information he left behind... and went straight to his house. That evening, I received a strange call. On the other end of the line was Truong My Lan's voice, trembling and choking.

"Nien Niem... Tham Niem... go home and see! Something happened at home!"

I didn't say anything, just listened quietly.

"I don't know who it is... they threw red paint on the door! They also used glue to cover the lock! On the door was written... it was written 'it is natural to pay debt'! Niem Niem, please quickly report to the police!"

Her voice was filled with fear. Completely different from the previous stubborn screaming style. I imagine the scene where she—a person who is only used to showing off her face—the first time she encountered this... probably half of her soul would be lost.

“What should I report to the police?”

I spoke softly, calmly and coldly.

"It's your house. Besides... debts have to be paid, isn't it natural?"

I returned the exact sentence she wrote. The other side was silent for a few seconds. Then boom.

"That's not money I owe! That's what that ungrateful son owes! It has nothing to do with me!"

"Tham Niem! You can't be that cruel! He's your husband! We can't get in even if we get to the house now! Think of a way! Take out the money and fill that hole first!"

In the end... it's still money. At this point, what she was thinking about... was still my 3.6 million yuan.

"I have no money."

I replied coldly.

"Besides, gambling debt is a bottomless pit. I can fill it once, but I can't fill it for the rest of my life."

"Weren't you very good when planning my dowry? Now think of a way yourself."

That statement... completely angered her.

"Tham Niem! You cruel woman! You will face retribution! I curse you for the rest of your life so that no one will marry you, so you will not die in peace!"

Malicious curses flowed out like water. I won't give her another chance. Leaning back on the sofa, I let out a long breath. In my heart... no ripples. There was even… no feeling of revenge. Just a cold calmness. What they received... was worth it. Whatever you sow, you will reap. I just need to stand outside— Watching them... step by step being swallowed up by the hole they dug. The time of splashing paint and sealing the lock... is just the beginning. Truong My Lan and Co Hai reported to the police. But the police only made a record, determined it was an economic dispute, and asked to resolve it themselves. A very clear signal— This house… is easy to bully. The second time, the debt collectors came... noisier. Seven or eight guys covered in tattoos stood in front of their house, screaming Co Xuyen's name and demanding to pay. The whole floor was in chaos. Neighbors opened their doors to chat. Inside the house, Truong My Lan and Co Hai... did not dare to open the door. At that moment— Another person appeared. A middle-aged woman, you can see that she is not average. She originally came to give an ultimatum. I didn't expect to encounter this exact scene. Looking at the debt collectors, remembering three months of unpaid rent— Anger flared up. She doesn't need to know anyone. Rushed straight to the door, banging and cursing.

"Truong My Lan! Come here for me! You thick-faced person! Are you still hiding in there if you owe three months' rent?"

“It's not every day you show off your children A man marries a rich woman, does the dowry cost several million yuan? Where's the money? Take it out and pay the rent!”

One sentence… exploded throughout the hallway. Neighbors immediately whispered.

“Huh, isn't this family very rich?”

"You're rich, you owe money on your house..."

"So what's the deal with the daughter-in-law running away with money?"

“Or… just make it up?”

The chatter became louder and louder. The reputation that Truong My Lan tried to build for many years— Shattered right in front of her house.
