Chapter 6 — Breakfast Changes Destiny

“If you don't know, then keep your mouth shut.” When I got home, there was a middle-aged man in a gray shirt standing in front of the door waiting. Seeing me return, he immediately walked over, lowering his voice very low: "Miss Lam, I finally found you. Our treasurer said, if you are willing to come, follow the old rules." My face darkened: "You got the wrong person." The man was stunned, glanced at the cake box in my hand: "But this apple pattern..." "I got it wrong." I interrupted him. Chu Kien Thanh looked at me suspiciously: "What did he call you?" I stuffed the cake box into the cupboard: "Wrong call." The man in the gray shirt still wanted to say more, so I walked out the door and said softly: "Don't look for me at home in the future." He understood my expression and quickly nodded: "Then I'll wait for your statement in the same place." I closed the door, Chu Kien Thanh was standing right behind me. "Where is the old place?" He asked. “Food market.” I replied. "Lam Xuan Duong, what are you hiding from me?" I raised my head to look at him: "You are the same. For example, before your mother came here, what did you say to her?" Vuong Gui Lan in the east room coughed. Chu Kien Thanh was speechless. I know what he said. In his previous life, he told Vuong Que Lan that I had a weak personality and paid all my money, as long as she came to oppress me, I would quit my job and stay home. In this life, their abacus calculated wrongly. Twenty boxes of date cakes ordered by the factory took me two evenings to complete. Minh Nguyet helped me paste a note with my name and home address written on it. When Chu Kien Thanh saw that, he was immediately upset: "Why write the address? The factory ordered it, it's not like I secretly sold it." I finished pasting the last piece of paper: "Other people think it's delicious, if you want to buy more, you have to know who to look for." "You're a woman, you're out selling your face, aren't you afraid that people will laugh at you?" "Can you eat laughter instead of rice?" I asked. Vuong Que Lan sat on the dirt bed and retorted: "The money must be given to Kien Thanh. The money you earn also belongs to the Chu family." I put the cakes in a bamboo basket: "The money I earn must first pay for Minh Nguyet's books, then buy rice and flour. I keep the remainder myself." Chu Kien Thanh immediately said: "Is there any morality in the house for women to manage money?" I looked at him: "Where was your salary last month?" His expression changed: "Spent." "Where to spend it?" "Spending on socializing." I laughed: "Socializing with whom? Buying a silk scarf for your colleague Ly Thu Lien is also called socializing?" The house suddenly became quiet. Chu Kien Thanh suddenly looked at me: "Who told you?" From my previous life, until my death, I still clearly remember that silk scarf. Ly Thu Lien placed it in front of my hospital bed, saying that the biggest regret of Chu Kien Thanh's life was not being able to marry her. Now that she is just a widow who has just come to work at the factory office, Chu Kien Thanh still does not dare to openly express her thoughts. I closed the lid of the bamboo basket: "It's because you didn't hide the receipt carefully." Actually, I don't see any invoice at all. I only know that his dirty thoughts did not arise out of nowhere. Vuong Que Lan immediately defended her son: "Poor Thu Lien, a woman brings her child, what if Kien Thanh lends a helping hand? Don't be narrow-minded." "It's okay to help." I looked at her: "Use your own money to help, don't use your family's children's tuition to help." Chu Kien Thanh was so embarrassed that he became angry: "Stop blaming me! Me and Thu Lien are clean." There was a soft knock outside the door. Minh Nguyet opened the door, a woman wearing a light blue shirt stood in front of the door, carrying a bag of apples. I saw her, the jute rope in her hand was tight against her palm. Ly Thu Lien. She was younger than I remembered, her face was fresh,

His voice was sweet, as soon as he opened his mouth, it was as if he had endured a lot of pain. "Is Mr. Chu home? I heard that my aunt is here so I came to visit." Vuong Que Lan immediately smiled brightly: "Thu Lien is here, come in quickly." Chu Kien Thanh's whole body relaxed: "Why did you come here?" Ly Thu Lien put the bag of apples on the table, her eyes fell on my bamboo basket: "Does your sister-in-law make cakes? At the factory, Mr. Chu always compliments you on your kindness." The two words "gentle" she pronounced very lightly, but as if she had a hook. I picked up the bamboo basket: "You came at the right time. Kien Thanh, mom wants to eat meat tonight, please take Thu Lien to buy it. She cares so much about our house, she probably wouldn't mind making a trip." Ly Thu Lien's face stiffened: "Sister-in-law, I just came to visit my aunt." "Visiting the elderly cannot be just a visit." I brought the food over: "By the way, buy a kilo of pork belly, and buy a bunch of green onions. Let Kien Thanh pay." Chu Kien Thanh's face darkened: "Lin Xuan Duong, don't make things difficult for others." I asked back: "When you bought her a silk scarf, why weren't you afraid of making things difficult for me?" Ly Thu Lien's eyes immediately turned red: "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. That scarf is because Mr. Chu saw that your winter scarf was torn so he took pity on you."
