Chapter 13 — After Being Kicked Out of the Retirement Party, I Went to Germany for 50 Days
Who is sincere? Who is the liar? Now think again. The most deceitful person. Actually, it's my mother. Mom didn't dare admit that she was looking at the wrong person. Don't dare admit that your son and daughter. In fact, they are all people who cannot be relied on. This amount. It's the money that my mother and father-in-law secretly accumulated when they were young. No one in the house knows. Now I give it all to you. Not for anything else. Mother repays the debt owed to her child. The story of not inviting your children to your retirement party. It's the most miserable thing I've ever done in my life. I just want to give you a lesson in front of your relatives. I want to make you lose face. Now the retribution has come. Mom was spun around like a pinwheel by a maid. Became the biggest joke. Mom, I'm sorry. If there is an afterlife. I still want to be your mother-in-law. Mom will definitely treat you well.” No signature. I looked at the words on the screen. Tears fell like a broken string of pearls. There's no stopping it. All self-pity. All unwillingness. All outrage. All the resentment accumulated for five years. They all collapsed in that moment. I collapsed onto the cold tabletop. Crying to the point of tearing my heart out. Three days later. It's still the same coffee shop. The person sitting opposite me this time was Phuong Vu Hang. I pushed a file towards him. He inexplicably picked it up. But when I see the five words "Divorce Agreement". His face immediately turned pale.
“Tri Thu, why?”
“Isn't your mother's matter already resolved?”
“The money is also returned.”
“We can start again, right?”
He stood up excitedly. I shook my head. Calmly look at him.
“Phuong Vu Hang.”
“The past five years.”
“I saw too clearly.”
“In the eyes of you and your family.”
“I have never been a wife.”
“I'm just someone living with you.”
“Someone who can give birth to children for my family.”
“Do housework.”
“Caring for the elderly.”
“Just a free maid.”
“The day of the retirement party.”
“You know very well that your mother deliberately did not invite me.”
“I know you're insulting me.”
“But for your dignity.”
“For the so-called family harmony.”
“You chose to let me endure it all.”
“You can't even say a word in my defense.”
“Fifty days I spent in Germany.”
“Every phone call.”
“Every text you send me.”
“It's all for your mother to question me.”
“There wasn't even a question asking if I was okay.”
“Is it safe?”
“Your mother is gone.”
“What do you tell me to do?”
“I was really confused at that time…”
He still tried to explain in vain. I raised my hand to interrupt.
“Don't explain anymore.”
“I'm tired.”
“It's really tiring.”
The content of the agreement is very simple. Common property after marriage is only this house. According to the law. It should be half for each person. But in my deal. I voluntarily give up all ownership of the house. The house belongs to him. I left empty-handed. Phuong Vu Hang looked at me as if he couldn't believe it.
“Are you crazy?”
“This house is now worth at least 3,000,000 yuan!”
“I've been struggling to pay the loan for five years.”
“Now you won't even take a penny?”
"I don't need it."
I stood up. Pick up your bag.
“Your mother left it to me.”
“It's enough for me to live well for the rest of my life.”
I turned around. Walk towards the door.
“Diep Tri Thu!”
“Then you will regret it!”
Screaming His hysterics rang out in the background. I didn't turn back. Just quietly say one sentence in your heart. People must repent. Half a year later. I sat on the balcony of An Kha's apartment. In hand is a warm cup of latte.
“Are you used to your new job yet?”
An Kha sat opposite, smiling and asking me.
“I passed the B2 German certificate.”
“The company has also completed the work visa procedure for me.”
I am holding the position of Finance Director at a German international trading company. The salary is more than three times higher than in the country. I used the money my mother-in-law left behind. Buy an apartment of your own in the center of Munich.
