Chapter 3 — A Paper That Tests People's Hearts

It's funny — he bought this house before getting married, but he forced me to shoulder the bank loan with him. He said this was "a joint debt between husband and wife", so I also had to pay half. Whenever something benefits him, he immediately uses the excuse of "dividing finances" to demand. But when my mother fell ill, he would rather buy a new car than spend money to save people. Thinking of this, I glanced at him and said coldly: "No money, no payment." Chuong Tien's expression paused, but he quickly tried to regain his composure and continued to say: "Tran Thien, even if your mother is sick, that's still my family's business. You can't just not pay the mortgage for personal reasons." "This is a shared debt between husband and wife, you are responsible for half..." He tried to play his old cards again, using logic to brainwash me as usual. But this time, I didn't let him finish and coldly interrupted: "So taking care of both parents is also a common duty of husband and wife - why have I never seen you spend any money?"

“I don't care about your mother, so why should I help you pay the rent?” "Don't forget, I used half of the dowry money to contribute to the deposit for this house. If you really want to divide it fairly, then the house name must also include me!"

Chuong Tien immediately became speechless, his face extremely unsightly. The mother-in-law couldn't bear to see me "bullying" her son, so she immediately spoke up: "Tran Thien, the financial division system is that you and my son have agreed from the beginning. You must give this money, don't try to siphon money from him!" "Besides, how can money for a house loan be the same as money for my mother's medical treatment? I'm also living in this house, so giving money is obvious!" "But what about your mother? As a parent, if you know the disease is incurable, you should think about your children. If you know it can't be cured, you should end it soon to avoid holding your child back!" I was so angry that I burst out laughing. “So you're saying, if you had an incurable disease, you wouldn't cure it?” The mother-in-law nodded strongly with a serious face.

“Of course, I wouldn't do anything to hold my son back like your mother!”

Looking at her confident and determined look, I suddenly felt funny. Hopefully the day she learns the truth, she can still maintain this confidence! Seeing my silence, my mother-in-law thought I was being silenced, so she immediately put her hands on her hips and held out her hand to demand money: "Okay, quickly pay half of this month's installment, otherwise you won't be able to step foot in this house again!" Chuong Tien, standing next to him, also joined in: "That's right! Remember to spray disinfectant thoroughly before entering, sprinkle some salt to ward off evil spirits - after all, your mother is about to die, you are definitely full of bad luck." "Don't bring those unclean things into the house again. This time I won't accept it, consider it a punishment for you to go to the kitchen to cook dinner for us. Next time if that happens, don't blame me." I was really made to laugh by Truong Tien's brazenness. Speaking of bad luck, the most "unlucky" person here... isn't it his mother? I curled my lips and smiled coldly, pulled the divorce agreement straight out of my pocket, and casually threw it on the table.

“There's no need to be so troublesome, just get a divorce. You sign, I'll move out of here immediately.”

3 Truong Tien was stunned for a few seconds, his face gradually became gloomy: "What? Divorce? How long are you going to make trouble?!" The mother-in-law could not hide her dissatisfaction: "Me I don't agree with you two getting a divorce! Want a divorce, unless I die!” Looking at their appearance, I just felt funny. They objected simply because in their eyes, I was carrying the bones of the Chuong family. Moreover, if we divorce, if Truong Tien wants to marry another wife, he may not find someone as easy to control as me, and if he marries again, he will have to pay more for the bride price. For them, it was a fatal blow. Seeing me silent, Truong Tien pulled my hand back, his tone a bit softer: "Just because I didn't give your mother money for medical treatment, do you want a divorce?" “But isn't that what we agreed on from the beginning? I also think for the sake of this small house, money must be used in the right place, I think your mother will also understand..." I looked at him, without any sympathy in my heart. At that time, I gently opened my mouth - but my voice was cold to the bone. I shook his hand away, coldly rebutting: "You mean my mother doesn't even deserve to be saved for two hundred million, right?" Seeing my tough attitude, my mother-in-law immediately darkened and began cursing: "Tran Thien, marrying my son is a blessing your family has accumulated for eight generations, don't be unreasonable!" “Still asking for a divorce? Take a look at yourself! After getting divorced, do you think you can find someone as outstanding and talented as my son?" Hmm, “elite”? If I wasn't blind, I wouldn't have chosen such a terrible man! I curled my lips and smiled coldly, pushing the divorce agreement towards Truong Tien: "My business doesn't need you two to worry about. Sign it, we're divorced." Seeing my decisive determination, Truong Tien immediately got angry: "What are you going to divorce?! Don't forget, you still have my baby in your belly! Do you want him to be born without a father? “Besides, do you think that after getting divorced, no one will want you? Stop dreaming, do you think you are a treasure?" Every word he said tried to stab straight into my heart. But I didn't feel any pain, I just felt ridiculous and nauseous. On the contrary, I secretly felt lucky - lucky to have given that baby away in time. Thinking of this, I pulled out the abortion confirmation form from my pocket, swung it straight on the table, each word clearly: "Oh right, I almost forgot to tell you - I aborted the pregnancy. Don't you dare use the baby to tie me down anymore!"
