Chapter 5 — After My Mother-in-law Bought Me a 3 Million Yuan Death Insurance Package
"She said she was ready to contact your mother's family and told your mother to come pick you up. She said she would leave you alone in the village and she didn't feel secure."
Contact my mother's house. My parents live in the neighboring district, they are older, and their health is not good. If Vuong Thuy Hoa really said those words in front of my mother... She would think I was really sick, would panic, cry, and force me to go to the hospital. At that time, regardless of the test results, Vuong Thuy Hoa can continue to manipulate public opinion. If the examination shows no illness, she will say:
"See, there's a problem with your mind that's why you refuse to admit it."
And if she discovers some minor illness... She will immediately turn it into authentic evidence for the entire rumor.
"Tu Lan? Why didn't you say anything?"
I raised my head to look at Luu Tieu Yen.
“Tieu Yen, help me with something.”
“You say it.”
"If Vuong Thuy Hoa really contacts my mother, please help me stop it. Just say I'm at your place, in good spirits, don't let my mother run here worried."
"Okay, I'll take care of this. But Tu Lan, what are you going to do? It's not okay to continue like this."
I thought for a moment and then said something vague:
“Okay. Wait a little longer.”
After Tieu Yen left, I sat alone in the dark house, quietly looking at the moonlight outside the window. Wait a little longer. Trieu Loi said it would take at least ten days to gather the entire chain of evidence. I don't know what else Vuong Thuy Hoa is up to. But I know I can only grit my teeth and endure, day by day, to get through it. It wasn't quite dawn yet when I was woken up by the noise outside. Outside the gate, someone was talking loudly, as if it was intentional for me to hear. I put on my coat and went out. In front of the gate stood three people. Vuong Thuy Hoa. Tran Dai Quan. And a strange man wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase.
“Out, out, it's her.”
Vuong Thuy Hoa pointed at me and said to the other man:
"Lawyer Trieu, look, this is my ex-daughter-in-law, Tham Tu Lan. Look at her face, isn't it okay?"
I ignored her and looked straight at the man.
“Who are you?”
The other person brought a business card.
“Thuy Phong Legal Services Office.”
Above is the name Chu Huong Dong.
“Hello Miss Tham, I was entrusted by Mrs. Vuong Thuy Hoa to discuss something with you.”
"Like this, Mrs. Vuong is concerned that your current health condition is not good, afraid that you will not be able to take care of your daily activities. She wants to appoint a temporary guardian on your behalf, so that she or her son Tran Dai Quan can take care of your life."
I feel like I just heard the most ridiculous thing in my life.
“Can you say it again?”
“I mean while you recover your health…”
"I'm not sick! I don't need any so-called guardian! What do you want to do?"
Vuong Thuy Hoa stood next to her and sighed, her gentle mother's appearance was perfect without any flaws.
"Tu Lan, look, you're excited again. I don't want to hurt you, I'm just afraid that if you're here alone and no one will take care of you, look for yourself. The homestay can't open anymore, and you refuse to go to the doctor. What if one day you faint?"
"Vuong Thuy Hoa, I'll say it for the last time, I'm not sick! If you continue like this, I'll report to the police!"
Tran Dai Quan had been leaning against the wall without saying anything at first, then spoke up:
"Tu Lan, don't be so hot-tempered. Your mother has good intentions. If you're really not sick, then getting tested will prove it, right? If you don't want to be examined, and don't let others care, of course people will think in a bad way."
A really good saying "thinking in a bad way". They have set a perfect trap. If I didn't go to the doctor, they told me I was sick but refused to admit it. After going to the doctor, just finding any small problem will be magnified infinitely. I turned to Chu Huong Dong.
"You go back and tell Vuong Thuy Hoa that a healthy adult with full civil capacity does not need and cannot be appointed as a guardian. If you continue to coordinate with them to harass me, I will go to the Department of Justice to complain against you."
Chu Huong Dong's expression immediately became awkward. He put away his business card, said "you should think about it" and then walked away. The smile on Vuong Thuy Hoa's face finally couldn't be held anymore. She took two steps closer to me, lowered her voice, and said very quickly:
