Chapter 3 — 6.6 The Ultimate Bad Thing Of A Marriage

The shop is very small. The sign has faded over the years. In the glass cabinet are displayed several bowls that have been completely restored. The slender golden lines on the bowl's body look like young blades of grass after the rain. Hua Dao, my best friend, is sitting behind the counter sipping noodles. As soon as she saw me entering, she immediately slammed the table and stood up.

"Why does your face look like you just crawled out of a creditors' nest?"

I recounted everything that happened at the hospital. After listening, Hua Dao firmly stuck his chopsticks into the bowl.

"Did the Tham family cook their faces in a pot?"

"900,000 yuan to give to my sister to fix the house."

"And you forced me to borrow money for my own surgery?"

I sat down in front of my desk. Hold up a piece of broken pottery.

"His mother said, since I married into the Tham family, the money I earn must also be thought for the Tham family."

Hua Dao scolded without any politeness.

"How many messes have you cleaned up for the Tham family these past few years?"

"Tham Nghien's shabby work, if it weren't for your help in restoring Van Dao Quan's antique plate, would he have been promoted?"

I raised my head to look at her. Hua Dao immediately covered her mouth.

"Okay, okay."

"I won't say anymore."

"You don't want others to know, I'll hold back."

I bowed my head. Gently place the ceramic piece back in the box. I don't want the Tham family to know about that. Not out of fear. But because I truly believed that... In marriage, not all sacrifices need to be put on the scale to be calculated. Right at that moment. The wind chimes in front of the door jingled. Tham Tinh walked in holding the arm of a young man. Just saw me. She was a bit stunned. Then he immediately smiled.

"If you don't borrow money for your brother's surgery, then you'll hide here and enjoy yourself?"

Hua Dao stood up from behind the counter.

"This is my store."

"What the hell does it have to do with her coming here?"

Tham Tinh rolled her eyes.

"I came to get my things."

"The blue and white enamel vase was brought in for repair last week. Is it finished yet?"

"My future mother-in-law is still waiting to be placed in a new house."

Hua Dao looked at the receipt.

"Deposit not yet added."

"Temporarily stopped editing."

Tham Tinh's face immediately became ugly.

"Didn't my brother already transfer money to you?"

Hua Dao snorted coldly.

"Your brother ever gave me a dime?"

"On the contrary, it's very good to transfer 900,000 yuan to you."

The young man next to him frowned.

"Thanh Thanh."

"What is 900,000 yuan?"

Tham Tinh immediately changed her tone.

"Co Trac, don't listen to their nonsense."

"My brother and sister-in-law have a very good relationship."

"My brother loves me so he took the initiative to help me."

I raised my head.

"Proactively help you?"

"Or do you cry and say that your husband's family criticizes you for not having a dowry..."

"Then force your brother to transfer money?"

Tham Tinh's face immediately turned pale. Co Trac stared at her.

"Didn't you tell my mother that your sister-in-law voluntarily bought all the furniture for the new house?"

Tham Tinh frantically pulled his hand.

"Of course my sister-in-law agrees."

"It's just that she's angry now."

I took out my phone. Open transfer history. Place it straight in front of Co Trac.

"Three money transfers."

"It all happened in the middle of the night."

"If you feel like it's voluntary..."

"After getting married, it's best to keep one eye open while sleeping."

Hua Dao laughed out loud. Mirror Co Trac's face immediately darkened.

"Tham Tinh."

"Come out with me."

Tham Tinh panicked.

"Co Trac, please listen to my explanation first."

"My sister-in-law is just being petty."

"She doesn't have any skills. Seeing me marry a good husband, she's jealous."

I slowly stood up.

"I don't have the courage."

"That's why you guys spend my money."

"And you have such bravery..."

"Then give me back 900,000 yuan."

Tham Tinh gritted her teeth.

"The money has already been transferred to the construction team."

"Then tell them to return it."

"Unable to complete."

"Then sell your handbag."

"Sell your coat."

"Sell all the newly purchased items."

Tham Tinh immediately shouted:

"Lam Van! Don't be too harsh!"

I pushed the box containing the broken pieces of the blue enamel vase in front of her.

"Deposit not yet added."

"Your things, take them home."

"No matter how broken it is, just display it as it is in the new house."

Tham Tinh looked at the pile of debris. Finally, a look of panic appeared on his face.

"My future mother-in-law is coming to watch tonight."

Hua Dao crossed her arms across her chest.

"Then just show her."

"By the way, let her know that..."

"Her future daughter-in-law took the money that saved her sister-in-law's life to decorate her new house."

The way Co Trac looked at me immediately changed. He was silent for a few seconds. Then say:

"I'll tell my mother to pause the wedding preparations."

"Money matters, Tham Tinh must explain clearly."

Tham Tinh seemed to have been stepped on.

"Co Trac! You dare!"

Co Trac coldly pushed her hand away.

"The thing I hate the most is being lied to."

Before chasing him out, Tham Tinh turned her head and glared at me with resentment.

"If something happens to my brother..."

"Don't you dare step foot in the Tham family again."

I calmly replied:

"That door is so dirty."

"I haven't wanted to go in for a long time."

The phone in my pocket vibrated. The screen displays the name: Tham Nghien.
