Chapter 5 — After the Divorce, I Stopped Paying for My Mother-in-Law's Medicine

His face was full of self-pity, as if he had just suffered the greatest injustice in the world. I placed the gift box on the reception desk. Trieu Que Lan immediately grabbed it. What I saw inside was just a box of handmade peach cake. Her face immediately darkened.

“Is that all?”

“Where is the money from selling the house?”

“You came to celebrate your father-in-law's birthday and came empty-handed?”

I calmly replied:

“The Giang family and I no longer have any relationship.”

“Come here today…”

“It's because Giang Dieu Xuyen asked me to come and explain everything clearly.”

Giang Diec Xuyen stood up.

“Then tell me.”

Having finished speaking, he pointed towards the projection screen in the middle of the hall. Right after that. A series of images appeared. That's a photo of the drug money I stopped transferring to Trieu Que Lan. Documents to transfer the name of the house. Along with the screenshot of me blocking his phone number. Discussions immediately arose everywhere.

“It's too cruel.”

"Elderly people are sick but still cut medicine costs."

“If the house says it's for sale, it's for sale.”

“You really don't care about the Giang family.”

"After divorce, women indeed become cruel."

Tieu Vu standing next to him was so angry that he wanted to rush onto the stage. I pulled the girl back.

"Calm."

Giang Quoc Phu finally opened his mouth.

“Shen Duong.”

“For three years you have been a bride of the Giang family.”

“We have never mistreated you.”

“Your house has been sold.”

“The money is divided in half to the Giang family.”

"Que Lan's medical bills continue to be paid as before."

“Then apologize to Man Man.”

“This matter is over.”

I looked at him. The corners of his lips curled up in a cold smile.

“It's true that you guys have never mistreated me.”

“I cooked rice.”

“My medicine is decocted.”

“I pay my debt.”

“My child died.”

“Now I even want to share the money from selling my house.”

A plump relative immediately slammed the table and stood up.

“What kind of conversation are you having with your elders?”

Tieu Vu not politely responded immediately:

“Elders must act like humans first!”

Trieu Que Lan was so angry that her face turned red. She rushed towards Tieu Vu.

“You fucking bitch!”

“Today I will tear your mouth to shreds!”

As soon as he raised his hand, the waiter next to him quickly stopped him. Right at that moment. Hua Man held the baby up. Her voice is not loud. But enough for everyone sitting at the chair table to hear clearly.

“I know that because you lost the baby, you always blame Aunt Trieu.”

“But she didn't mean it.”

“You can't vent all your hatred on the Giang family because of your physical problems.”

I raised my eyes to look at her.

“Who told you it was my body problem?”

Hua Man immediately stopped. Giang Diec Xuyen quickly spoke up:

“The doctor said.”

I looked at him.

“Which doctor?”

Giang Diec Xuyen's face changed slightly.

“It's been a long time.”

“What does it mean to turn it over now?”

I nodded.

"Significant."

From my bag, I pulled out a copy of my medical records. Place it on the table.

“This is the emergency record of that year.”

“It's written very clearly above.”

“The fetus was lost due to external forces.”

Right at that moment. The whole hall suddenly fell silent. The chatter also disappeared. Trieu Que Lan immediately screamed:

“Those are fake documents!”

I pushed the file towards her.

“Then call the police.”

Giang Quoc Phu slammed the teacup on the table. The sound was deafening.

"What happens at home cannot be brought out for others to laugh at!"

“Do you really have to go to this extent?”

I look him. His eyes were calm and cold.

“The day I lost my child…”

“You also said this.”

After I was wheeled out of the operating room. Giang Quoc Phu stopped Giang Diec Xuyen from reporting to the police. He said that spreading this story would affect the Jiang family's reputation. He also said: Women will get pregnant again. But once a family's reputation is lost, it cannot be regained. Right at that moment. The baby in Hua Man's arms suddenly burst into tears. She bowed her head consolingly. Voice trembled.

“Diec Xuyen...”

“I'm not well.”

Giang Diec Xuyen immediately stood up to help her. Then turned to look at me.

“That's enough, Tham Duong.”

“You scared Man Man.”

Tieu Vu immediately burst into laughter.

“Really good.”

“Every time important things are talked about, she becomes unwell.”

“Paper people?”

Giang Diec Xuyen did not pay attention to the girl. Just stare at me.

“Are you here today to ruin my father's birthday party?”

I calmly replied:

“You told me to come.”

He stepped in front of me. Lower your voice.

“Don't forget.”

“Her store is still in the old town.”

“The Giang family knows more people here than you.”

I said nothing. Just take out your phone. Press play the recording. His voice rang out clearly in the hall:

"Tomorrow is my father's celebration of life."

"The Jiang family's relatives were all present."

"If you dare to cause trouble..."

"I will let everyone know how you were kicked out by the Giang family."

The atmosphere in the hall immediately froze. Giang Diec Xuyen's face turned pale. Trieu Que Lan saw that the situation was not good. Immediately rush to the console. Pull off the projector connection cable. The big screen went dark. She screamed like crazy:

“It's all his fault!”

“He's jealous because Man Man gave birth to a son!”

“He's jealous because the Giang family has an heir!”

“It just doesn't want us to live well!”

“This cruel woman is taking revenge from beginning to end!”

Giang Quoc Phu slammed the table and stood up.

“Let her out!”

Two security guards immediately walked towards me. Tieu Vu blocked right in front of him. Eyes full of caution.

“I'll see who dares to touch Ms. Duong!”

I gently placed my hand on her shoulder. Pull her behind. Then walk towards the door yourself. No explanation at all. Also no resistance. Because I know... Today's drama has only just begun. As for the real gift I prepared for the Giang family... It hasn't been opened yet. As he walked to the hall door, Giang Diec Xuyen's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

“Shen Duong.”

“If you walk out this door today…”

“Don't ever come back and beg me in the future.”
