Chapter 9 — Cracks Under Light

The fat woman was a little panicked: "What are you calling the police for? The contract is here." I said: "You can collect rent, you can also evict people. Bring the ownership papers, compensate according to the contract, we will move today. If you can't show the papers, no one can touch the things in my father's store." The surrounding neighbors began to talk in low voices. The fat woman looked at Chu's mother: "Sister-in-law, why is this girl so difficult to deal with?" Chu's mother tried to suppress her anger: "Van Van, do you have to end our relationship?" I said: "Since you threatened my father's store, that relationship has ended." A small truck stopped in front of the door, two moving workers got out. The fat woman seemed to have more support: "Move!" Two workers came in to lift the counter. I blocked the counter. "Whoever touches it will work in vain today." Two workers stopped and looked at the fat woman. She was impatient: "What are you afraid of her? She's just a brat." My father walked out from behind the counter and pulled me back: "Van Van, don't be stubborn with them." I looked at the two workers: "You receive money for work, not to take responsibility for someone else. There is no procedure to force the goods to be moved, if the goods are broken, who will bear it?" The older worker immediately let go: "Sister, you should clarify the procedure first." The woman The fat woman stomped her foot: "I paid but I still can't command you?" Someone outside the door laughed. Chu's mother lost face: "Lam Van, you are becoming more and more incoherent." I picked up the contract: "In the contract, the person who signed the landlord's name is Trieu Ngoc Lan. What is her last name?" The fat woman was stunned: "My last name is Tien. Trieu Ngoc Lan is my mother-in-law." "Where is she?" "She is sick." "Can you still sign a notice to repossess the store before the deadline?" The fat woman shouted even louder: "She snitched!" I picked up the notice. looked at the red fingerprint above: "Left index finger?" Her eyes fluttered: "Yes." My mother suddenly said: "Auntie Trieu's right hand is not convenient, but the left index finger was cut off by a knife ten years ago, the fingerprint is missing a piece." An aunt selling wontons in the neighborhood immediately continued: "Yes, I remember that. When Mr. Lam fixed the watch for her, he saw it." I brought the notice in front of the woman. fat: "This fingerprint is complete." Her expression changed: "You guys teamed up to bully me." Chu's mother grabbed the notice: "It doesn't matter whether it's a fingerprint or not. The house really needs to be reclaimed." I said: "Then let Mrs. Trieu come personally." Outside the door, the sound of wheels rolling over the stone surface was heard. A gray-haired old woman was pushed to the front of the store. Her face was very poor, and she was still holding an old handkerchief in her hand. "Who said I want to take back the store?" The fat woman was so scared that her voice changed: "Mom, why did you come?" The old woman gasped twice, raised her hand to point at her: "If I don't come, are you planning to sell my old face too?" Chu's mother's face stiffened: "Aunt Trieu, you misunderstood." Mrs. Trieu looked at my father: "Tieu Lam, you can rent with confidence." As long as I live one day, no one can fire you." My father quickly came to help the wheelchair: "Aunt Trieu, don't be angry." The old woman patted his hand: "In the past, you repaired my grandfather's souvenir watch at midnight without paying a penny. I still remember." The neighbors' gossip immediately changed direction. The fat woman impatiently squatted next to the old woman: "Mom, I also want the best for the family. The Chu family said they are willing to pay more rent." Chu's mother's face turned pale: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Trieu threw a towel at her face: "For a few more coins in rent, I tore up the blank paper I had pointed out. You guys really have a future." I looked at Chu's mother: "White paper?" The old woman nodded: "My eyes are not good. She told me to point.

pointed at the original refund procedure paper." The fat woman stood up in fear and tried to run, but was stopped by the aunt selling wontons outside the door: "Don't go, wait for people to come." I called the phone. Chu's mother's voice became shrill: "Lam Van, do you really want to make a big deal of it?" I said: "I was the one who called the workers to deliver the goods first." She looked at the people gathered around, unable to maintain her dignity anymore: "Don't be arrogant. Italy. Nghien Tu will not let you bully Nhuoc Ninh like that." I laughed: "Up to now your whole family still thinks I am bullying her." Chu's mother gritted her teeth: "Don't you only know how to fix a few broken vases? Without the Chu family, you are nothing." Mrs. Trieu suddenly asked: "Which Chu family?" The aunt selling wontons said: "The Chu family started their business with construction materials in Nam Thanh." The old woman snorted coldly: "I still thought how talented they were. Bullying a small watch shop but also bullying to look majestic." Chu's mother was choked, unable to say a word. At this time, Chu Nghien Tu's car stopped at the beginning of the street. He got out of the car and walked over, seeing the whole street full of people, his face was extremely gloomy. "Mom." Chu's mother seemed to have finally found support: "Nghien Tu, look how it has turned things out." Chu Nghien Tu looked at me:
