Chapter 2 — At Cu Meet Sai Lang
My phone vibrated again. This time it was Ma Cai Ying who called. I turned on the speakerphone. Her voice was both high-pitched and frantic. "Tham Tri Y, did you say something nonsense to Director Phung?" "Quickly tell the police clearly, it was your father who came to the house to make trouble first, it was my Thua Khang who accidentally hit him!" I looked at my father lying in the hospital room. He had just received an injection of painkiller, his eyebrows were still tightly furrowed. My mother sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes bloodshot as if she had been soaked in water. I asked Ma Cai Ying. "Did you accidentally hit three kicks?" The other end of the line paused. Luc Ve Dan's voice chimed in. "Don't be stubborn and cling to each other and not let go." "There's a bit of friction between our families, so it's not good to talk about it outside." "Your father's hospital fees, we can bear some of it." I laughed. "Can you bear a little?" Luc Ve Dan's voice was low. "Don't be a lion." "Our Luc family doesn't have that much money for you to take advantage of." Trinh Nghien raised his hand, signaling me to stop. say more. He took the phone, his tone calm. "I am Ms. Tham's lawyer." "From this moment on, anyone in the Luc family is not allowed to secretly threaten her." "Hospital fees, lost work fees, care fees, compensation for mental damage, along with corresponding responsibilities based on the results of the later assessment, we will request according to the law." The other end of the line suddenly went silent. Ma Cai Ying quickly roared. "A lawyer is very terrible, isn't he?" "My son only kicked a few times, do you still want to send him to jail?" Trinh Nghien said. "Whether he goes to jail or not, it still depends on the injury assessment." "In addition, the acts of humiliation, threats, and phone snatching by your family towards the pregnant woman who is in confinement today, I will also summarize to handle." Luc Thua An was frantic. "Lawyer Trinh, This is a matter between us and our husband, please don't tear it up." Trinh Nghien looked at him. "The matter between husband and wife does not include tolerating his younger brother to beat his father-in-law." Luc Thua An was speechless. There was a cacophony of noise on the other end of the line. It's like someone is struggling with the phone. Right after that, Director Phung's voice rang out. "Is Tri Y there?" I took the phone. "Uncle Phung, listen." Director Phung sighed. "I heard about your father's story from the police station." "Don't worry, you will handle whatever needs to be done." "No one has the right to force you to change your statement." Ma Thai Anh stood next to him and shouted. "Director, you can't just listen to one side of what I say." It's okay!" Director Phung's voice suddenly became sharper. "I stood in front of the police station and heard Thua Khang admit it himself." "What else do you want me to certify?" "I tell you, I can't close this carpentry right now." The phone was hung up. Luc Thua An's whole body staggered. What he is most afraid of is not my divorce. He was afraid that Luc Thua Khang's official transfer would fall through. He was afraid that the registration of the Luc family's residential land would encounter problems. He was even more afraid that their family would not be able to raise its head in the village. I looked at him. "Do you still want me to change my statement now?" Luc Thua An gasped. "Tri Y, let's go home and talk." I shook my head. "That's not my house." The bottom of his eyes flashed with panic. "What about you?" I replied. "I'm in the rest room next to the hospital's monitoring room, my mother's cousin is taking care of it." He immediately looked towards the end of the hallway. I took a step forward, blocking his view. "Luc Thua An, if you dare touch my child, I will call the police immediately." His face immediately darkened. "His last name is Luc." I looked at him. "It
First of all, my daughter." That night, I didn't go to the Luc family anymore. Trinh Nghien helped me contact the nanny to take care of the pregnant woman, then told my mother to carry the baby to the family room near the hospital. My father definitely refused to let me struggle to walk. He lay on the bed, his voice very low. "Tri Y, you've made me lose face." I grabbed his hand. "Dad, it's them who lost face." As he said, his eyes turned red again. Then you get married, I can't ask any more questions." "I always thought that when a girl gets married, she has to save face for her husband's family." "Now I know, there are some things that give dignity to a wild animal." I didn't cry. Since the baby was born, this is the first time I feel a little brighter in my heart. At two o'clock in the morning, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the hospital room door. The nurse pushed the door open and walked in, her face not looking good. "Tham Tri." I mean, there's someone outside looking for you, saying it's your husband's family." Before I could stand up, Ma Cai Ying's loud crying was heard in the hallway. "Hand over the Luc family's grandson!" "You're a woman in confinement, where are you planning to take your child and run away?" 05 My mother jumped up. Just as she was about to walk out, I held her back. "Mom, you stay and watch over dad." I turned on the phone recorder and stuffed it into my coat pocket.
