Chapter 2 — After Reporting Card Blocking, Husband's Whole Family Went Crazy

In Truong Wei's heart, his mother's reputation is more important than 9.8 million yuan.

“Zhang Wei.”

I raised my voice, cold to the bone.

“Before questioning me, did you ever ask what your mother did to me?”

“I just took some money from you!” He shouted. "My mother told me, it's just 'keeping it for me' temporarily, I'll give it back to you later! We're family, do you have to be so cruel?!"

“You made her lose face in a crowded place, are you happy?!”

I laughed softly. That laughter was so cold that even I felt strange.

“I'm very happy.”

“You… you really can't reason!” Truong Vi was so angry that he went crazy.

"Truong Wei, you should go home now. Now."

"What are you going to do when I'm back? Arguing with me? I tell you, Tran Van, you must apologize to my mother for this matter! Otherwise, it's not over yet!"

“I don't want to argue.”

I slowly emphasized each word.

“I just want to show you something.”

“See what?”

“See clearly…”

“What did your mother steal?”

Having finished speaking, I immediately hung up the phone. I went into the study room and pulled out the drawer. Among the thick pile of papers, I took out the medical diagnosis that still had the hospital's red stamp on it, along with the bank statement I just printed this morning. One sheet recorded my brother's end-stage kidney failure. A note containing a sum of 9.8 million yuan had just been cleared. I placed the two things side by side on the tea table. Like the last two sentences. Quietly waiting for the man of this house to return... Handily pronounced the death sentence for our marriage.

“Crack” with a loud sound.

The door was pushed open forcefully. Truong Vi rushed straight into the house full of cold air. His face was red with anger, his eyes were full of blood, just like a mad cow that had just been provoked.

"Tran Van! Today you must give me an explanation!"

He ripped off his coat and threw it hard on the sofa, his screams echoed throughout the living room. I don't look at him. Just leisurely pointed towards the tea table.

“The explanation is there.”

“See for yourself.”

Truong Vi frowned tightly, his face filled with impatience as he walked forward. He held up the bank statement first. My eyes slid from the account owner's name "Tran Van" to the final transfer transaction. The number is 9,800,000 bright red yuan. His throat moved slightly.

"Isn't it just money? 9.8 million yuan, I know!" He threw the paper down on the table, his voice still firm but clearly weaker. “My mother said she would give it back to you!”

I laughed coldly.

"What do you get in return? Taking money from Tieu Thien's rich, unmarried husband?"

“Truong Wei, can you believe it yourself?”

He got choked up when I asked him.

“Look at the other sheet.”

I gently lifted my chin. He was full of doubts and picked up the diagnosis. Eyes stop on each line of text. I clearly saw the anger on his face disappear little by little. Instead, there was amazement. Then came the disbelief. His lips parted, but no sound came out. On the paper, each line of black and white letters appeared brutally clear. 【Patient: Tran Huc. Diagnosis: End stage kidney failure. Recommended treatment: Kidney transplant surgery. Estimated cost…】 It's my biological younger brother.

“This… this is…”

Truong Vi's voice was so dry that it trembled.

“It's my brother's medical diagnosis.”

I calmly spoke up. Every word comes out like a nail hammered into the dead atmosphere in the room.

“The results just came in last week.”

"The doctor said to have surgery as soon as possible. The best treatment time is only a few months."

"My parents are both just ordinary workers. Their life savings combined are less than two hundred thousand yuan. Even the old house was sold, so it took a while to collect more than seven hundred thousand."

I raised my head and looked straight at him. Eyes sharp as knives.

“This 9.8 million yuan…”

“It's compensation for my family's old house.”

“It's money my parents left me, specifically to save my younger brother's life.”

"I didn't tell you, because I didn't want you to worry. I thought I would wait until the surgery was arranged before telling me."

“Zhang Wei.”

“Now do you still think your mother just 'temporarily took' some money from me?”

I stopped for a few seconds. The voice is not loud. But every word is like a sledgehammer hitting people's hearts hard.

“She took it…”

“It's not money.”

“It's my brother-in-law's life.”

The diagnostic paper in Truong Vi's hand fell to the ground. His face instantly turned white as paper. He stood dumbfounded looking at me. His eyes were filled with panic and chaos. It was like recognizing me for the first time. Just like the first time I realized how scary my mother who always said "for this house" was. The living room was silent. Outside the window, the sky gradually darkened. The sky of this house is about to change color. At that moment, there was the sound of a key turning hastily outside the door. The mother-in-law's high-pitched voice mixed with cries came from far away, getting closer and closer.

"Truong Wei! My good son!"

“You must be the boss for me!”

“That unlucky woman wants to make our whole family lose face!”
