Chapter 4 — Being Slagged by My Mother-in-Law in the Crowd, I Turned to Sell the House

Their faces turned from white to red. From red to green. Finally, he turned purple like a pig's liver. Luu Ngoc Tran's cries and screams... Suddenly fell silent after the "bang" when the big door was slammed shut by the security guard. She sat numbly on the cold pile of luggage, looking at the door that used to be the place where she could do whatever she wanted. Finally realized... The sky is really falling. After being released by security, Giang Ha seemed crazy, rushed straight to the stairs, took out her phone and frantically called me.

“Sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off.”

Forever, only the cold, mechanical female voice without any emotion rang out. He switched to WeChat messages again. A blinding red exclamation mark immediately popped out.

—— “The opponent has blocked you.”

He was not willing. Immediately told my sister, brother, father... all relatives to take turns calling me. The results are no exception.

—— “Sorry, the phone number you dialed does not exist.”

—— “The other person has turned on friend verification, you are not yet friends with this person…”

At that moment, Giang Ha and his whole family finally understood. I'm not kidding. I am really determined to completely cut off from them. Don't even know where I am, whether I'm alive or dead. Giang Ha sat down on the ground, clutching the phone in her hand, her eyes empty and desperate. He remembered the last sentence he said to me that day.

“Don't be unreasonable.”

The person who really doesn't know anything is him. Outside the door is the cold early morning of autumn. Inside the door... Is the roof that can never come back again. The sixteen members of the Giang family were like a pack of stray dogs that had been chased out of their nest, huddled next to a mountain of luggage in the hallway. Messy hair. Every person's face was written with horror, anger and confusion. The neighbors' doors opened and closed. Close it then open it again. Those curious, pitying, and gloating eyes were like red-hot needles stabbing straight into their skin. Luu Ngoc Tran's crying has now turned into hoarse sobs. She squeezed Giang Ha's arm, her nails almost digging into his skin.

"Giang Ha! My son!"

“What is all this about?!”

"That cruel woman! On Tinh is truly a person who has lost all conscience! She has deceived our entire family!"

Giang Ha's face was whiter than the wall behind her. He stared at the closed door with empty eyes. He doesn't understand. I really don't understand. The woman who had always listened to him closely for the past three years, didn't even dare to speak loudly... Why did she suddenly become so determined and cruel? She didn't even leave him a sentence. There was also no chance to explain. Just simply decisively… Strip away the entire foundation of his life.

“Honey, what should I do now?”

Giang Ha's younger sister, Giang Yen, held the baby, who was crying to the point of hiccups, and asked in panic.

"We... can't just stand here forever, right? When everyone goes out to work later, we'll lose face!"

Jiang Jianguo's father-in-law, who had always been silent, suddenly exploded. He kicked hard on the suitcase next to him, making a heavy "bang" sound.

“Now you know you've lost face?!”

His bloodshot eyes swept over Luu Ngoc Tran and then looked at Giang Ha.

“A while ago How do you guys treat Wen Qing, don't you know in your heart?!”

"Treat people like buffaloes and horses, give them all kinds of orders!"

“A family with sixteen mouths to feed, all dependent on it alone to feed! Do you really not feel humiliated?!”

“Now that's great! Forcing people to leave, destroying the city like this, are you satisfied?!”

Giang Kien Quoc is the only person in the family who sometimes feels sorry for me. But he was weak. Luu Ngoc Tran never dared to say anything in front of her. Really pushed to the edge. Luu Ngoc Tran was scolded until he was stunned, then immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

“What do you mean, Giang Kien Quoc?!”

“It turns out it was all my fault, right?!”

“What's wrong with me educating my daughter-in-law?! It's his narrow heart! It's a useless pet!”

“Now you know how to pretend to be a good person?! When did you spend money from Wen Qing before, when did you ever spend less?!”

A big family battle... Just like that, it broke out right in the middle of this chaotic, struggling hallway. The sound of arguing. The sound of children crying. The sound of furniture being kicked. It all mixed into a mess. Giang Ha had a splitting headache and suddenly roared.

“Shut up for me!”

The world immediately became quiet. Everyone looked at him. He was panting, his eyes bloodshot and red.

“Argue! Argue! Argue!"

“What can arguing solve?!”

“Now the most important thing is to find a place to stay first! Then find Wen Qing!”

This statement finally helped that chaotic group of people find a backbone. Must find accommodation first. Where are we going? Sixteen people. Bringing both old and young. Back home? Moreover, a house in the countryside cannot accommodate that many people. Staying at a hotel? Giang Ha took out her phone and searched for a nearby hotel. But when he saw the room prices appear row by row, his heart immediately sank. Even if it's the cheapest budget hotel, renting seven or eight rooms at a time, the cost for one night is enough to make him bleed. But now… There is no other way. He gritted his teeth and booked eight rooms at a nearby express hotel. When he swiped his payment card and saw the debit message appear, he felt like a piece of his heart had been ripped out. This amount of money... Before, it was just the amount of money that Wen Qing invited their whole family to have a meal. But now... It became the straw that saved his life. A group of people dragging large piles of luggage, under the attentive gaze of passersby, struggled to walk to the hotel. They were crowded into small, narrow rooms. Two or three people sleep in the same room. The air was filled with the smell of cheap disinfectant and unpleasant mold. Compared to the large, spacious, bright, clean, dust-free apartment before... It's truly an ironic contrast to the extreme. All were silent. That huge difference finally made them feel truly scared. Giang Ha locked herself in her room and called me over and over again. It's still permanently turned off.
