Chapter 5 — Being Slagged by My Mother-in-Law in the Crowd, I Turned to Sell the House

He went crazy and texted me on WeChat.

“On Tinh, where are you?”

"Go back quickly! Let's talk properly!"

"You can't treat me like that! We're husband and wife!"

"I sold the house, so where do we live? Where are my parents?!"

"Are you crazy?! Get the hell back here!"

From questioning... To begging... Then finally turning into cursing in anger. Those glaring red exclamation marks seemed to be constantly laughing at his stupidity and helplessness. Giang Ha lay on a single bed that was both narrow and hard, and didn't sleep all night. For the first time he began to remember those three years of marriage. Remember that every morning I wake up early to prepare breakfast for the whole family. Remember every shirt I ironed smoothly without any wrinkles. Remembering every time he reached out to ask for money, even though I was unhappy, I never refused. Remembering that day... I held my red, swollen face, looking at him with eyes as calm as dead water. That's not compliance. It's despair. Late regret is as sharp as a poisonous snake, bit by bit biting his heart. But he hates even more. Hate my betrayal. Hate my lovelessness. He clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms. I just wait there. Even if I have to dig three meters of dirt, I will find you! The sunshine in Sanya is truly the medicine that heals everything. I lay in the infinity pool on the hotel's rooftop, drinking chilled coconut water, looking at the sea and sky connecting into a strip in the distance. This week, I lived extremely comfortably. I wore beautiful dresses that I never dared to wear before. I surfed, went scuba diving, and felt the freedom of being embraced by the ocean. I eat all the specialties here, no longer having to consider the tastes of a dozen people. In my world… Only myself remains. That feeling is strange... But indescribably wonderful. The phone vibrated once. It's the Emir's WeChat message. He used a tone both curious and cautious to tell me the situation of the Giang family after being kicked out.

“Miss Wen Qing, you didn't see that scene, it's really a level five drama!”

"The whole family was kicked out in their pajamas, standing in the hallway arguing loudly, cursing each other in all kinds of ways."

"After that, it seemed like they rented a budget hotel. It was said that even on the first day, they fought over the room with a big bed and a room with two beds."

"As for Ms. Luu Ngoc Tran, she posted a photo of her ID card to the resident group, scolding her for taking the money and running away, being unfilial and unscrupulous. As a result, the neighbors cursed back, everyone said she deserved it."

I looked at each line of messages Tieu Vuong sent. The first smile from the bottom of my heart finally appeared on my face after many days. This is exactly what I want. I sent him a large envelope of lucky money.

"It's been hard for you, Tieu Vuong. If you have any news about them in the future, let me know immediately."

"Understood, Ms. On Tinh! You can rest assured and enjoy your vacation!"

Putting the phone down, I closed my eyes and slowly exhaled a long breath. The rocks that once weighed heavily on my heart... Seems to be following the sea breeze, little by little disappearing. But right now, thousands of kilometers away... Giang's family is sinking deeper and deeper into the mud. Stayed at the hotel quickly for two days, credit card of Giang Ha has reached the limit of explosion. His meager salary in front of the expenses of sixteen people... was like a drop in the ocean. On the third day, their whole family was politely "invited" out by the hotel. They can't pay for the room anymore. They really didn't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain anymore. As soon as Giang Yen's husband-to-be's family heard about something happening here, they immediately called. Not consolation. It's a question.

“Jiang Yen, when will the 500,000 yuan dowry be given?”

"As for your family's current situation... we have to rethink marriage."

The phone is on speakerphone. The whole living room could hear it clearly. Giang Yen's face immediately turned pale and she argued on the spot with her mother, Luu Ngoc Tran.

"It's all because of mom! She insisted on opening her mouth and demanding up to 500,000 yuan! Now that's great, they want to annul the marriage!"

Luu Ngoc Tran was also angry to the point of going crazy:

"Mom, didn't you do that for me?! Even if I get married, I have dignity! Where did you go wrong?!"

On the other side, Giang Ha's younger brother, Giang Dao, also received a phone call. It was the girlfriend I've known for half a year calling.

“Giang Dao, I heard that your sister-in-law sold the house and left?”

"Previously, you promised your sister-in-law's apartment in the city center that you would transfer her name to me as your wedding house. Does that still count?"

Giang Dao stammered and couldn't say a word. He can't say that... I also sold that apartment a long time ago. The girl on the other end of the phone is clearly very smart.

"I got it."

“Giang Dao, let's break up.”

“Tut… tut… tut…”

The phone was hung up. Giang Dao tightened his grip on the phone, stood frozen in place, then suddenly roared and punched the wall hard. Two children. Two marriages. At the same time standing on the brink of breaking up. That became the last straw that crushed the entire Giang family.
