Several pieces of paper fell out inside. I bent down to pick it up. The first sheet is a copy of the mother's identification card. The second sheet is the loan contract. The third sheet has three words written on it: Tham Ngoc Mai. But the signature is still fake. The loan amount is eighty thousand yuan. The purpose of the loan is stated as family business. There was no blood left on her mother's face. "I have never borrowed." Duong Duc Hai struggled violently. "I borrowed it, it has nothing to do with her!" I looked at the last line of the contract. There is also a phone number for the guarantor. The phone number is not Duong Duc Hai's. It's from Duc Giang Duong. At this moment, outside the yard door stopped a small truck. Two strange men walked down, holding debt collection papers in their hands. The leader stood outside the door and shouted: "Is Tham Ngoc Mai here?" "Eighty thousand yuan is due, you must give an answer today!"07 The atmosphere in the yard immediately turned cold. Two men stood outside the door, their eyes scanning the people in the house and finally landing on my mother's face. The leader held up the debt collection note. "Tham Ngoc Mai, is that you?" Mother leaned against the wall, her voice weak. "I don't borrow money." The man laughed. "The debt note has your name written on it, has a copy of your ID, fingerprints are also included." I looked at him. "Fingerprints?" He held the paper forward. The policeman took it first. There were indeed red fingerprints on the paper. In the borrower section, write the name Tham Ngoc Mai. The amount is eighty thousand. Interest is calculated separately. Mom took a look, her face as white as paper. "This is not my fingerprint." Duong Duc Hai stood next to her, his face unsightly. Duc Duc Giang turned away again, not daring to look at me. I looked at the contact phone number at the bottom of the paper. That's Duc Giang Duong's number. I asked the two men: "Who is the recipient of this money?" The leader frowned. "Who are you?" "I am Tham Ngoc Mai's daughter." He looked at me, then at the policeman, his voice softened a bit. "At that time the person who came to take the money was a man, claiming to be her husband." "Besides there was also a guarantor." Duc Duc Giang immediately jumped up. "Don't talk nonsense!" The man laughed coldly. "I said. "Yesterday you called me to ask for a two-day extension." Everyone in the yard looked at Duc Duc Giang. Ma Thuy's face changed. "Duc Giang, when did you borrow money?" Duong Duc Giang gritted his teeth. "I didn't borrow." The man directly took out his phone. "Do you need me to play the recording?" Duong Duc Giang immediately closed his mouth. Mother slowly turned her head to look at Duong Duc Hai. "You used my name to borrow money?" Duong Duc Hai didn't dare look at her. "I'm also for this house." I laughed. "Which house?" "The house where you gambled, or the house where your younger brother's son needed money for extra tuition?" Duong Duc Hai suddenly raised his head. "Don't talk nonsense!" I said: "Then explain." "Where did the eighty thousand yuan go?" His lips moved but he didn't say anything. get one word. The policeman took back the contract. "This has signs of impersonation and forged signatures." "You all have to come with us." The head man immediately said: "Comrade, we are only here to collect debt." "We did not force her to borrow, the contract was brought by them." The policeman looked at him. "You must also cooperate in the investigation." The man did not dare to say more. Duong Duc Hai suddenly looked at his mother and lowered his voice. "Ngoc Mai, please say something." "Just tell me you know this amount of money." "Later we will slowly pay it back." Mother stood in place, her shoulders shaking. He wanted to use this sentence to bring her back. Pay slowly. One such gradual time was the next ten years of her life. I stood in front of my mother. "Don't dream." Duong Duc Hai glared at me. "Duong Am, do you have to force your mother into a dead end?" I said: "The dead end depends on

"It's not what I said." Duong Duc Hai's face twisted. Grandma Wei suddenly rushed forward, hugging her mother's leg. "Ngoc Mai." "I can't be so heartless." "If something happens to Duc Hai, the Duong family will be finished." "I've been the daughter-in-law of the Duong family for more than twenty years, I can't see death without saving." Mom bowed her head to look at her. Over the past twenty years, Grandma Wei has never told her. a kind word. But at this moment, she knelt down faster than anyone else. Her mother's eyes were not gloating, only indescribable fatigue. She said softly: "Mom, I couldn't save him." Grandma Wei's face stiffened and she said: "Even I couldn't save myself." Duong Duc Hai's face suddenly sank mother: "Tham Ngoc Mai!" "Don't forget, I still have your weakness in my hands!" Mom suddenly raised her head. My heart tightened. Duong Duc Hai smiled evilly. "Do you think no one knows about the past?" "If you really dare to put me in jail, I will let the whole village know." Mom's body swayed. "What's wrong?" Her lips trembled but she couldn't speak. Duc Duc Hai looked at me, her eyes filled with cruelty.
