Chapter 4 — After Divorce, I Made the Chu Family Pay the Price

"Thirty-six months."

"A total of 180,000 yuan."

I picked up another sheet.

"This house."

"The down payment for the house was paid by my parents."

"The monthly mortgage payment is 8,000 yuan."

"We once agreed that each person would pay half."

"You really do give me 4,000 yuan every month."

"But that 4,000 yuan was withdrawn from the salary card managed by your mother."

"There's my 4,000 yuan left."

"It's every penny I earned myself."

"I don't just have to shoulder my share of the installments."

"But we also have to take a salary to cover living expenses."

"While my mother took my salary card to invest in stocks."

"Then I lost 200,000 yuan."

"And I took the couple's joint savings to fill that hole."

I looked straight into his eyes. Every word is clear.

"You tell me."

"In the end, who is spending whose money?"

"Who is raising this family anyway?"

The whole living room fell into absolute silence. So quiet that you can hear a pin drop. Chu Hao's face turned from pale to pale green. He stared at the statements on the table. It's like looking at your own judgment. Vuong Cam was also dumbfounded. Perhaps she has never calculated that amount of money before. In her mind. The daughter-in-law's money is the son's money. And the son's money is of course the Chu family's money. Take as much as you want. Spend whatever you want. Forever and never. Right at that moment. Chu Hao suddenly raised his head. His eyes were red as if covered with blood. Just like a cornered animal. He roared.

"Hua Tinh, what do you want to do?!"

He rushed forward. Wanting to snatch the statements in my hand.

"Do you have to destroy this family to accept it?!"

I don't shy away. Doesn't stop it either. Let him take it. The real bomb hasn't been dropped yet. I looked at him coldly.

"Do you really think I'm arguing with you today just for 250,000 yuan?"

Chu Hao paused. I opened the photo album on my phone. Tap a photo. Then turn the screen towards him. She is a woman dressed luxuriously and full of jewelry. Holding a man's arm. The smile on her lips was so sweet it was dazzling. That man. It's Chu Hao. The background is the revolving restaurant of a five-star hotel. The date the photo was taken appears clearly on the screen. Last Wednesday. My birthday. that day. He told me... He had to work overtime. The woman in that photo. Chu Hao's first love. The two of them loved each other throughout four years of college. It is said that when they graduated, it was because Ton Man wanted to go abroad that they broke up. I always thought it was just a thing of the past. It's just that I think so. The moment I saw the photo. Chu Hao's whole body stiffened. Like a stone statue. The blood in his eyes immediately disappeared. Only endless panic remained.

"Still... Static Static..."

His voice trembled so much that he couldn't make a sound.

"I heard you explain..."

"It's not what you think..."

Vuong Cam also stopped by to take a look. Her face immediately turned pale. But her reaction was faster than Chu Hao. She rushed forward and grabbed my phone, intending to throw it on the ground. Luckily I took precautions in advance. Hand just retracted. Avoided Okay.

"What are you doing?!"

I shouted coldly.

"What am I doing?"

Vuong Cam was like a firecracker being set off. Immediately exploded.

"I should have asked what you wanted to do!"

"Where did you find these random photos?"

"Do you want to slander my son?"

"I'll tell you, Hua Tinh."

"Don't even try!"

She turned her head to look at Chu Hao. Loudly commanded.

"Son, don't be afraid of it!"

"Isn't it just a photo?"

"Prove what?"

"Definitely a collage!"

"Now that technology has developed so much, you can't fake anything!"

"He just didn't want to help Tieu Vi so he deliberately made trouble!"

I looked at Vuong Cam. I just find this woman both funny and pitiful. Come to this country. What she cares about is not whether her son will betray his marriage or not. It's about whether the youngest son's job still has hope or not. Chu Le also immediately recovered. Hastily chimed in.

"That's right, sister-in-law."

"What kind of person my brother is, do you still not know?"

"How could he do something wrong to me?"

"This is definitely a misunderstanding."

Even Zhou Wei, who had been silent until now, spoke up.

"Sister-in-law, don't listen to one side and then draw conclusions."

"We have long since lost contact with Ms. Ton Man."

Their whole family. The tosser and the catcher. Try your best to turn an affair into a misunderstanding. It seems like they just don't admit it. So this has never happened. I don't bother arguing with them. From start to finish. I just looked at Chu Hao.

"I'll give you one more chance."

"Who is she?"

"Why are you two together?"

Chu Hao's lips moved slightly. Cold sweat trickled down from my temples. Fall on the shirt. Spreads into a dark streak. He didn't dare look at me. I don't even dare look at my mother. Like a prisoner being placed on fire. When Vuong Cam saw that his son did not say a word, he became impatient.

"Look at that look!"

"Aren't we just old classmates?"

"There's nothing that can't be said!"

She answered directly for her son.

"That's Chu Hao's college friend!"

"People are now big bosses!"

"Just returned from abroad!"

"Chu Hao went out to eat with her to discuss business matters!"

"It's because of this house!"

"Do you understand?"

"You are a woman with a limited mind!"

"All day long I only know how to nitpick about trivial things!"

"Do you know how hard it is for my son to travel outside for his career?"

The more she talked, the more agitated she became. Saliva splashed. It sounds like it was my fault that Chu Hao betrayed me. I coldly listened to everything. Wait until she finishes speaking before opening her mouth.

"Do you have to go to a restaurant for couples to chat about work?"

"Do we have to hold each other's arms like that when chatting about work?"

"To chat about work, you have to choose my birthday, then lie about working overtime?"

Every question I asked. Chu Hao's face turned even whiter. Vuong Cam was speechless when I asked him. But still trying to raise my neck and argue.

"So... so what?"

"If you put your arms around it a little, you won't lose any meat!"

"Why are your thoughts so dirty?"

I laughed. Laugh until your eyes sting.

"I mean dirty?"

I opened my phone. Swipe to the next photo.

"So what about this?"

"Is it also because of work?"

Background in the photo. Is a high-end jewelry counter. Zhou Hao is bowing his head. Gently put a diamond ring on Ton Man's finger. That ring. I recognized it immediately. Classic model of Cartier. Marriage day. I wanted to buy it. But Chu Hao said it was too expensive. Not realistic. The two of us just bought the simplest pair of platinum rings. In the photo. Ton Man smiled brightly. His face was filled with happiness. As for Chu Hao's eyes when he looked at her... Full of gentleness and pampering.
