Chapter 6 — After the Divorce, I Stopped Paying for My Mother-in-Law's Medicine

I stopped walking. But don't turn back. Just calmly replied:

“I begged you once.”

“It's the day our baby died.”

The back immediately fell into silence. Giang Dieu Xuyen did not say another word. I walked out of the hall. Before the door closed, Giang Quoc Phu's voice could still be heard inside.

“Invite Man Man and the baby to the chair.”

“Don't let outsiders ruin the happy atmosphere.”

Outsider. Three years as a bride. Three years of taking care of their entire family. In the end... I'm still just an outsider. At that moment, I finally understood. It's not that they don't know I'm in pain. But in their eyes... My pain is not worth a penny. The next day. The old town suddenly welcomed an inspection team. Several uniformed employees stood in front of my store. Everyone holds a notebook to take notes.

“We received a complaint.”

"Some people reported that the store's kitchen did not meet hygiene standards, and there were also problems with the business license."

Tieu Vu was so angry that his face turned white.

“Our shop is disinfected every day!”

“The license is still hanging on the wall!”

“Who is reporting this?”

The leader opened the file in his hand.

“Someone sent photos as proof.”

“Say there are rats in your kitchen.”

I received the photo. Just looking at it made me laugh. There is indeed a mouse in the picture. But that's not my kitchen. The color of the bricks on the wall is different. The location of the stove is also completely different. I returned the photo.

“This is not my store.”

The leader raised his head and looked at me.

“Whether it is or not, just check and you will know.”

“Temporarily closed for business today.”

Outside the store, many excited onlookers had gathered. In the crowd. Trieu Que Lan pushed forward. While pretending to sigh, he said:

“I told you a long time ago.”

“This store is not clean.”

“Everyone, don't buy again in the future.”

"If you eat a bad meal, who will be responsible?"

Someone recognized her. Immediately burst into laughter.

“Isn't this the old lady who knelt down yesterday and cried asking for money from her daughter-in-law?”

Trieu Que Lan's face immediately changed.

“We are talking about food hygiene!”

“What does it have to do with family matters?”

Giang Diec Xuyen also appeared. He stood behind the crowd. Neat clothes. Hair is neat. His eyes looked at me as if waiting for me to bow my head and admit defeat. I don't pay attention. Just quietly take down each license on the wall. Give it to the inspection team.

“You guys just check.”

“Surveillance cameras in the store can also be viewed at any time.”

The leader nodded.

“Just need to cooperate.”

Then lead people into the back kitchen. Tieu Vu pulled my sleeve. Voice full of anger.

“Miss Duong.”

“It was definitely made by the Giang family.”

“They are too unethical.”

I bowed my head and rearranged the orders on the counter. The shop still has a very large order. It's a batch of cakes ready to be delivered to the Hai Duong tea party. This is the store's most valuable order ever. If business is suspended. Compensation for breach of contract will not be small. More important. The organizer of the Hai Duong tea festival is famous for being difficult. Just miss one appointment. After that, small shops in the old town almost no longer had a chance to be on her supplier list. Tieu Vu was so impatient that he stomped his feet.

“Miss Duong!”

“The pineapple cake hasn't arrived yet Finished packing!”

I calmly replied:

“Continue packing.”

“Don't be late in ordering.”

About twenty minutes later. The inspection team came out of the kitchen. The leader's expression softened a lot.

“No hygiene issues detected.”

“Full and valid license.”

Trieu Que Lan immediately shouted:

“No way!”

“Have you checked carefully?”

The leader looked at her.

“Is the accuser you?”

Trieu Que Lan arched her neck.

“What if it's me?”

“I do it for everyone's sake!”

I coldly asked:

“Who gave you that photo?”

Trieu Que Lan's eyes flashed with panic.

“I... I saw it online.”

The leader holds up the photo.

“In the lower right corner is the store name.”

“The address is not even in this city.”

“Malicious accusations will be recorded.”

Trieu Que Lan's voice immediately became smaller.

“I... I don't understand any of that.”

Tieu Vu chuckled.

"If you don't understand, you still dare to harm people?"

"If you don't understand the law, that's fine."

“Do you at least understand what shame is?”

The crowd immediately burst into laughter. Trieu Que Lan's face turned purple. She turned her head to look at Giang Dieu Xuyen. Blatantly shouted:

“Didn't you say that this time he will definitely die?”

The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Because that statement is too big. Loud enough for everyone to hear clearly. Giang Diec Xuyen's face immediately darkened. But it was too late. The leader of the inspection team looked over at him. Eyes full of meaning. Giang Diec Xuyen immediately put out the fire:

“I mean tell mom not to get excited.”

I slowly raised the phone. The screen is still recording.

“Those words just now…”

“I recorded it all.”

Giang Diec Xuyen's face immediately changed.
