Chapter 6 — Being Slagged by My Mother-in-Law in the Crowd, I Turned to Sell the House

The relatives who previously viewed this place as a free restaurant and a free hotel finally began to find excuses to leave.

“Well… my unit has urgent work, I have to go home first.”

"My child's exam is tomorrow, we won't stay and bother him anymore."

"Giang Ha, it's difficult for outsiders like us to interfere in your family matters. Everyone, please take care of yourselves."

In the blink of an eye, from the original large family of sixteen people, only the core five remained. His parents. His younger brother and younger sister. The tree fell and the monkeys scattered. Only today did Giang Ha truly understand what this sentence means. Five people dragged a few remaining suitcases, standing in the middle of a street full of traffic, looking around bewildered. Heaven and earth are so vast... There is not even a place to accommodate them. Giang Ha's heart was completely cold. At this point, he was horrified to discover... Without me, he is nothing. The job that he is always proud of was because I asked my contacts to help me find it. I bought the car he drove. The designer clothes he wears are swiped with my card. He didn't even have a friend to borrow money for the night. Because all of his social relationships are built on the fake shell of a rich life that I created. That shell is broken. But he also fell straight from the clouds into the mud. Giang Ha's voice was hoarse, he looked at Luu Ngoc Tran as if clinging to the last straw.

“Where is Wen Qing's hometown…?”

My hometown is located in a small, extremely remote district. My parents are both honest and simple farmers who have never traveled far in their lives. That year I passed the university entrance exam, a rare "phoenix" that had only appeared in the village for decades. They are always proud of me. When I got married, my parents used up all their life savings and even ran around borrowing money from relatives to collect 100,000 yuan as a dowry for me. But that money... was gently taken away by Luu Ngoc Tran with just one sentence:

“Spending in the city is huge.”

She said she would "keep" me. Never mention it again. For the past three years, every month I have sent money back home. But he never dared to tell his true situation at the Giang family's house. I'm afraid my parents will worry. I just said Giang Ha treated me very well. My mother-in-law loves me like her own daughter. Parents believe it. She often told me to be filial to my parents-in-law and to live well with my husband. The fact that Giang Ha and Luu Ngoc Tran decided to go to my hometown to find my parents... Without a doubt, it hit my biggest weakness. They thought that as long as they could control my parents, I would obediently bow my head. They even thought... The money from the house sale might be hidden in the countryside. So the whole family immediately bought five train tickets to my hometown. It is the cheapest type of hard chair. After more than twenty hours of being squeezed into a crowded, noisy train car filled with all sorts of mixed smells... The family, accustomed to being pampered, finally arrived in our poor little district. As soon as they got off the train, their faces showed undisguised disgust.

"What the hell is this place? It's so broken!"

Giang Yen frowned and covered her nose.

"Did Wen Tinh grow up in this poor corner? No wonder he never made it to the top!"

Luu Ngoc Tran's triangular eyes roamed everywhere, eyes filled with a feeling of superiority.

“Huh, no matter where it hides, you have to give me an explanation today!”

gang They took an old taxi and told the driver the name of my village. The driver was a local person, looked at them and asked in a local accent:

"Are you guys going to Wenjia village? Looking for Professor Wen's house?"

My parents are very respected in the village. After I passed the university entrance exam, the villagers often jokingly called my father "Professor On". Giang Ha was stunned, then nodded:

“Yes, that's the house.”

In his heart, he still holds a ray of hope. Could it be that... Wen Qing's parents are very powerful in the locality? If not, how could I raise such a brave daughter? The taxi continued to sway for more than an hour on a country road full of potholes, finally stopping in front of the village gate. The scene before their eyes made the entire Giang family completely dumbfounded. There are no luxurious villas like they imagine. There are only rows of old, low brick houses. It is the most shabby and ordinary apartment among them. A small yard built of red bricks. The gate is two wooden doors with peeling paint. In the yard, my mother was bending down to weed the vegetable patch. My father sat on a small stool next to him, his head bowed, weaving a bamboo basket. The two old people were wearing old, faded clothes. Face full of weather marks. Both hands are calloused from working all year round. This is the "support" that Giang Ha thought could put pressure on him. The last bit of hope in his heart instantly disappeared. Instead there was endless contempt and resentment. This is the origin of On Tinh. A poor country girl falling to pieces! He was being played around by such a woman! Luu Ngoc Tran became even more angry and gritted his teeth. Before that, she had prepared all her heart to come and ask for her crime, and was also thinking about how to negotiate with my "horrible parents". Looking back now... Absolutely no need anymore.
