Chapter 15 — After My Mother-in-law Bought Me a 3 Million Yuan Death Insurance Package

Lam Vi thought for a moment and then said something that surprised me.

“Because three years ago I was also harmed by someone else.”

“When I first opened the first homestay in town, my partner ran away with all the money.”

“At that time, the whole town laughed at me for being stupid.”

“No one helped me.”

“Later I was able to stand up on my own.”

She smiled slightly.

“I look at you… like I see myself three years ago.”

“It's just that you're worse than me.”

“Your partner doesn't just want to steal money.”

“But I still want to take your life.”

I nodded.

“I ask you to.”

The next day, Lam Vi immediately took action. She contacted three influential local media bloggers, organizing my entire case from start to finish using public information and hard facts. No added tragedy. Not intentionally sensational. There is only truth. Insurance company confirmation call record. Police notification code. The fake diagnosis certificate that Vuong Thuy Hoa once submitted. Zhou Kien Quoc's falsification of initial examination records. The whole photo shows the Thanh wolf chained on the mountain. Three articles in two days reached more than one hundred thousand reads. The direction of public opinion changed overnight. From only half cursing Vuong Thuy Hoa... turned into nine-tenths. Someone commented:

"This daughter-in-law's life is as strong as a mountain. That kind of mother-in-law in ancient times had to be locked in a pig cage and floated down the river."

There are also people who dig up those navy accounts. The results revealed that all were registered on the same day. IP addresses are concentrated at an internet shop in the district. Two days after being silent, Tran Lan Phuong called me. This time she had no more manners.

“Tham Tu Lan, what good is it for you if you make such a big deal out of it?”

“Tran Lan Phuong.”

“You hired those marines, right?”

The other end of the line was silent for a few seconds.

“I don't know what you're talking about.”

“You don't need to know.”

“District police have begun an investigation.”

“Slandering and defaming the victim online is also an additional crime.”

“You should consider it yourself.”

I hung up. That evening, all comments on the marine accounts were deleted. So silent that it was like they never existed. Life goes by day by day. The homestay business gradually improved again. Lam Vi's promotional effectiveness is much better than I thought. There was even a travel company in town that proactively contacted me to ask if they could include my homestay in a weekend trip to the countryside. I hired another girl from the village to help in the kitchen. She is Aunt Trieu's daughter-in-law. My name is Chu Phuong. On the first day of work, she was clumsy and cut her hand while cutting vegetables. I put a band-aid on her and taught her how to hold a knife safely.

“Miss Tu Lan…”

“My mother said she was sorry for me before.”

“Tell me to come and help to atone for my mistake.”

When he said that, Chu Phuong bowed his head, so shy that he didn't dare look at me. I laughed.

“Your mother doesn't owe me anything.”

“If you come to work for me, I will pay you.”

“Not atonement.”

Chu Phuong blushed and nodded. The second time village head Elder Chu came to find me, he also brought other news.

“Tu Lan, there has just been an announcement from the district.”

“This area is about to be chosen as a model rural construction site.”

“The village committee nominated my homestay as a model for food services.”

“Do you agree?”

I looked at him ta.

“Last time you brought cigarettes and milk, I didn't accept them.”

“Now use the sample point title to compensate…”

“Do you think I like this?”

Old Chu's face turned red again.

“No compensation.”

“Being your homestay is truly the most proud place in the village.”

"If you don't want it, then fine. I won't force you."

I thought for a moment.

“But I have a request.”

“Tell me.”

“Later in the village there were stories of outsiders bullying others…”

"Don't pretend like you didn't see."

“Whoever it is.”

“No matter how powerful the opponent is.”

"Being a village chief can't just sit and eat."

Old Chu was silent for a long time.

“I remember.”

When he left, his steps were heavier than when he arrived. Two months later, the case officially entered the trial phase. The City Procuracy prosecuted publicly. The first instance trial took place at the city intermediate court. When he informed me, Trieu Loi said he would represent the insurance company in court. Then asked me if I wanted to attend the hearing or not.

“How long will the trial last?”

“About half a day.”

“You may not come.”

“If I have the results, I will inform you immediately.”

I thought for a moment.
