Chapter 4 — After Reporting Card Blocking, Husband's Whole Family Went Crazy

“Zhang Wei.”

I interrupted him.

“What did you get to collect?”

“My monthly salary of twelve thousand yuan, without eating or drinking, would take seventy years.”

“Or are you planning to borrow from the bank?”

“Or borrow at high interest?”

“Just because of my mother's fault, just because of my sister's ridiculous golden phoenix crown…”

“And you want to bury the second half of both of our lives?”

Every word I said was like a sharp knife, tearing through his fake calm. Truong Vi was completely silent. His face was as gray as ashes.

"Sister-in-law! How can you say that to my brother?!"

Truong Thien suddenly shouted.

“It's all because of you!”

“It's all because of a comet like you!”

"Since the day you married into this house, my family has never had a peaceful day!"

“My brother is really unlucky to marry you!”

Mother-in-law immediately followed:

“That's right!”

“The husband engraves the house!”

“Truly a funeral star!”

Dirty curses kept pouring in like sewer water. But I don't feel angry anymore. Only numbness remains. And sad to the bone. I don't look at them anymore. Just bow your head... Press the call button.

“Hello, is it 110?”

I say every word clearly. The entire living room immediately fell into dead silence. The cursing from her mother-in-law and Truong Thien suddenly stopped. The two people's faces were pale and bloodless. Truong Vi suddenly raised his head. In his eyes there was only despair and disbelief.

"Tran Van! Don't!"

He rushed towards me. The mother-in-law also reacted, suddenly let out a mournful scream and then, as soft as mud, fell to the floor.

“Oh my heart…”

“I can't breathe anymore…”

“I'm going to be annoyed to death by this ungrateful daughter-in-law…”

She lay on the ground moaning while secretly glancing at me from the corner of her eye. An all too familiar drama. And just as I thought... Truong Vi immediately took the bait. He left me alone, turned around and rushed towards his mother.

“What's wrong mom?!”

“Mom, don't scare me!”

He hugged her, so urgently that sweat poured down his forehead, then turned to me and shouted loudly:

“Tran Van!”

“What are you still standing there for?!”

“Quickly call 120!”

“If something happens to my mother, I'm not done with you yet!”

I looked at him. Look at the man holding the mother pretending to be sick. Look at him shouting at me the four words "it's not over yet". I slowly lowered the phone. Say one sentence to the other end of the line:

“Sorry, I called wrongly.”

Then, right in front of him… I dialed another number. A phone number that Truong Vi never dreamed of. The phone has just connected. I took a deep breath, trying to keep my voice from shaking. But in the end it still couldn't be done. Tears suddenly fell.

“Money to replace a kidney for Tieu Huc…”

“Not anymore…”

My mother on the other end of the line was silent for ten seconds. Those ten seconds felt as long as a century. I even clearly heard her breathing suddenly become heavy and rapid.

“Tieu Van…”

“What…what did you say?”

Mother's voice trembled so much that she could barely make a sound.

“The money… is gone.”

I repeat.

“It was taken away by Zhang Wei's mother.”

“Take… take it?”

“For what?”

“Buy a dowry for her daughter, Truong Thien.”

My voice was very calm. Calmly as if telling someone else's story. But every word... It's like a sharp knife. Pierce me first. Then along the phone line, I stabbed my mother in the heart. Wire head The other side was completely silent. Right after that... It was a series of violent coughs that tore my heart apart, as if I wanted to cough my lungs out. Then there was a loud "bang" sound. Like the phone fell to the ground. Next was the sound of my father screaming in panic.

“What's wrong with you?!”

“Quickly get the medicine!”

“Where is the blood pressure medicine?!”

The phone hasn't hung up yet. I clearly heard all the chaos on the other side. My father's voice called loudly. The sound of furniture being knocked over. Mother's painful, interrupted moan. I held the phone and stood motionless in place. It's like the soul has been drained from the body. In the living room, my mother-in-law's "acting out" was also interrupted by this phone call. She miraculously sat up from the ground. A look of panic and guilt appeared on his face. Truong Vi was also dumbfounded.
