Chapter 3 — After Reporting Card Blocking, Husband's Whole Family Went Crazy

The mother-in-law and her sister-in-law, Truong Thien, full of self-pity, rushed into the house.

"Truong Wei! Son! Look at him!"

As soon as I entered the door, my mother-in-law rushed towards her son and pointed her finger straight at me as if she saw an enemy.

“This woman wants to make my family lose face!”

“He's cursing my sister so she can't marry into a good house!”

Truong Thien also began to sob and cry:

“Brother… how could my sister-in-law treat me like that…”

"In the future, I won't have the face to live with my husband's family anymore..."

The mother and daughter juggled each other and acted so well together that it seemed like I was the one who had committed the heinous crime. Truong Vi's face changed continuously between pale and red. He supported his mother, his lips trembling:

“Mom… please stop saying a few words…”

“Why does mom have to reduce it?!”

The mother-in-law's voice was so shrill that it hurt her brain.

“It made me lose face in the gold shop!”

“Who else are you going to show that funeral face to now?!”

"I just took some money from him, it's not like I won't pay it back!"

"Tran Van, today I tell you, I must take this money!"

"Tieu Thien's dowry must be very flattering!"

She completely did not look at the diagnosis paper lying on the ground. Or maybe... She simply didn't care what it was. I looked at the wild drama before my eyes. Look at the husband who is still trying to stand in the middle of "reconciliation". My heart sinks to the bottom little by little.

“Zhang Wei.”

I spoke up, surprisingly calm.

“Haven't you told your mother what was written on that paper?”

Truong Vi was startled as if burned. He quickly bent down to pick up the diagnosis.

"Mom! Don't make trouble anymore!"

“This money cannot be touched!”

“This is money to save Tieu Huc's life!”

He brought the paper in front of his mother, his voice almost pleading. The mother-in-law just glanced over and then pouted with disdain.

"Money saves lives, why are you talking so harshly?"

"Isn't it just kidney failure? What disease can't be cured in the hospital now?"

"Besides, that's his younger brother. It's not your younger brother. What are you worried about?"

Having finished speaking, she turned to me. His eyes were both contemptuous and cruel.

“Tran Van, I've wanted to say it for a long time.”

“Your little brother is truly a bottomless pit!”

“Your parents are incompetent, they only know how to extort money from you all day long!”

“If you give this 9.8 million yuan to him, it's like throwing meat to a dog. Even if you leave, you won't come back!”

“If you marry into the Truong family, you are a member of the Truong family!”

“Your money is also the Truong family's money!”

“I am the mother-in-law, taking care of the money for you, cutting off that bloodsucking mother-in-law for you, all for your good!”

“And yet you still don't know anything!”

Because it's good for me? Cut off my home's blood suction line? Only now did I truly understand. In her eyes, my brother's life is not worth a penny. Everything that belonged to my mother's house could be sacrificed. I turned to look at Truong Vi. He heard his own mother say those words that stabbed straight into the heart, his face was sometimes red and sometimes white. His mouth opened several times, and in the end he forced out only one sentence:

“Mom… please stop saying a few words…”

It's really enough. I withdrew my gaze. I don't want to see that ridiculous mother-daughter pair anymore. I took out my phone, right in front of all of them, and started looking for the phone number.

“What… what are you going to do?”

Truong Vi asked in panic. I raised my head to look at him. Look at that face full of insecurity. Then slowly emphasize each word.

“Find the number of our area's economic crime investigation team.”

“Zhang Wei.”

“I'm telling you the truth, you don't understand.”

“I told your mother about my feelings, she doesn't deserve it.”

“Then now…”

“Let's talk about the law.”

“Report the police?!”

The mother-in-law's voice immediately jumped eight pitches, like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

“Tran Van, are you crazy?!”

"You want to report me to the police?! I'm your mother-in-law! Truong Vi's biological mother!"

She rushed forward and tried to snatch the phone out of my hand. I took a step back, avoiding it.

"It's because you are Truong Vi's biological mother that I told the whole family in advance."

I looked at her coldly.

“If not…”

“The police are already on their way here by now.”

The mother-in-law was so angry that she was shaking.

"If you call the police to arrest me, how can Truong Vi have the face to see anyone else in the future?!"

“How will the neighbors view our house?!”

“The Truong family's face has been completely ruined by you!”

I burst out laughing as if I had just heard the funniest thing in the world.

“Compared to my younger brother's life…”

“Your dignity is not worth a penny.”

Truong Thien was also frightened. She hugged Truong Vi's arm tightly, crying even harder.

"Brother! Quickly advise your sister-in-law!"

“If I really report this to the police, my marriage will be over!”

“The Ly family will never accept a daughter-in-law whose relative is a thief!”

What she cares about... It's still just her marriage. All eyes in the room were focused on Truong Vi. He becomes the center of this storm. He looked at me, his eyes full of pain, pleading and tearing.

“Tieu Van…”

He had difficulty opening his mouth, his voice was hoarse.

“Don't be like that, okay?”

“Consider it my request.”

“We are family, don't make things so unsightly.”

“Money… I will think of a way.”

“I'll go collect the money immediately!”

“I will pay you in full!”

“Reopen the card first, pay Tieu Thien's dowry first…”

“My family cannot lose face…”

I quietly listened to everything. Hearing the last sentence... I burst out laughing. Come to this country. The first thing he thought of... was still his family's face. Still his sister's dowry.
