Chapter 12 — After My Cousin Moved In, My Family Almost Destroyed

She realized that no matter how she explained, it would only make things worse. She unleashed her ultimate weapon. She sat down on the ground, screaming and crying, crying even more pitifully than before.

“I don't know…”

“I don't know anything…”

“Everyone bullies me…”

“I want to go home…”

“I don't want to be here anymore…”

She wanted to use the word "go" to force my father to soften his heart. But this time… It doesn't work anymore. My father looked at her, his eyes no longer had the same love or compassion as before. Just coldness and disappointment.

"Okay."

A cold female voice rang out. From beginning to end she did not say another word. Just standing there calmly observing the confrontation between me and Trieu Tieu Nha. At this time, my mother finally came out. She gave the final verdict.

“If you felt sorry for yourself and wanted to go home…”

“Then we will follow your wishes.”

She went to the tea table, picked up the phone and called Uncle Hai.

“Trieu Ve Quan, come here immediately to pick up your daughter.”

The other end of the line must have been stunned for a long time. Only then did a surprised voice sound:

"What? Didn't Van Van admit to stealing? I told you..."

“Your daughter can't stay at my house anymore.”

My mother interrupted directly.

“He feels like our whole family is bullying him.”

“You guys quickly come here and clean up his belongings.”

“Don't come again.”

My mother's voice left no room for negotiation. Trieu Tieu Nha's cries immediately choked up. She looked at my mother in disbelief. She didn't expect... My mother to be so decisive. Her games of "crying once, making noise, third demanding death"... in front of my mother were completely ineffective. After hanging up, my mother looked at her.

“Pack up your things.”

Trieu Tieu Nha stood still and did not move. Her last hope… She turned her head, her teary eyes looked at him, making her final plea. My heart immediately jumped into my throat. I'm afraid my father will soften again. But in the end... He just sighed tiredly, then turned away, not looking at her anymore. That move... Directly pronounced a death sentence for all of Trieu Tieu Nha's hopes. She was completely desperate. She slowly got up from the ground, absent-mindedly dragged her suitcase back to her room. The living room fell silent again. My mother walked over and hugged me gently.

"I've had to endure the pain."

Her voice carried a slight tremor. My tears finally couldn't hold back any longer and rushed out. I don't feel unjust. It's about feeling scared. If today I don't quickly think of a way to "take a step back to counterattack". If my mother hadn't chosen to trust me unconditionally… Then the person who would be kicked out of the house right now… It would probably be me. I will have to bear the name "thief" for the rest of my life and I won't be able to erase it. This house will also be completely destroyed because of my "stain". Trieu Tieu Nha... What she wanted from beginning to end was never just a bracelet. She wants to destroy me. Destroy this whole family. Just how cruel is her heart? Less than half an hour later, Uncle Hai and grandmother rushed over. When they entered the house, Trieu Tieu Nha pulled her suitcase and stood in the middle of the living room. Red eyes. His expression was numb as if he had lost his soul.

"What's going on?! What's going on?!"

As soon as he entered the door, Uncle Hai raised his voice.

"Didn't you say that Van Van stole things? Why are you arresting Tieu Nha now? Go?"

Grandma also immediately followed suit:

“That's right!”

"The person who committed the crime didn't expel him, but instead evicted the wrongly wronged child of ours?"

“There is no reason in the world!”

My father sat on the sofa, from beginning to end without saying a word. His face was so gloomy that it looked like he was about to cry. My mother walked in front of them and placed the jade bracelet on the tea table.

“The bracelet was found.”

“Found it?”

Uncle Hai was stunned for a moment, then immediately raised his voice.

“So isn't it over?”

"Surely Van Van felt guilty so he took it out himself!"

“This matter cannot be dismissed so easily!”

“She must apologize to our Tieu Nha!”

My mother laughed. But the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes at all.

“Okay.”

“But before apologizing…”

“I want to show everyone something.”

Having finished speaking, she turned on the TV and plugged in a USB. The screen lights up. The image that appears is in front of Trieu Tieu Nha's room. It's a surveillance camera in the hallway. For safety reasons, my house has a camera installed at the main door and hallway. It's just that I rarely open it to watch. My mother pressed the play button. On the screen, the time displayed was a quarter past three o'clock yesterday afternoon. My room door is closed. Trieu Tieu Nha walked out of her room, first looking around. After confirming there was no one... She tiptoed to my mother's door. But she never went in. Just stand in front of the door, make movements like you're pushing the door in, then quickly retreat back.
