Chapter 6 — Divorce After Seven Years

I stood up and wanted to go, Tran Thoi An pulled me back. "Hoan Hoan, sorry." "I didn't know my dad was in the hospital, at that time I..." "Don't say anymore." I couldn't help but interrupt him. "He's not your fault, but I have no way not to blame you. I don't want to accept your so-called compensation, I just want to stay far away from you." "Quickly sign the divorce papers and give it to me." Throwing this sentence back, I didn't turn around and leave. After that, Tran Thoi An disappeared for a few days, and it wasn't until the end of the second week that I saw him again. "I lost the application, this is my reprinted copy, I've signed it, you sign it." I opened it to see the terms inside, he still left the house and money to me. "Don't rush to refuse, after you receive this house and money, it's up to you to handle it. But if you don't accept it, you can't divorce this marriage." "If you don't believe it, maybe you can." Let's try." He said firmly. The last time he showed such a determined expression in front of me was when he proposed to me. Although I believe in the law, I also know that Tran Thoi An has many tricks. If you want to get involved with me, my life and work will be messed up. "Okay, I sign." After signing, he and I immediately went to the civil affairs department. Before, I didn't feel like a month was that long, but the time I spent thinking about divorce felt very long, so long that I recalled everything from when Tran Thoi An and I met each other. It's undeniable that there are many good memories between us, but people cannot live on memories. Finally the day came before the time to think was over. Today I still went to work as usual, but at the door I met Tran's mother. She pulled up a banner and held a loudspeaker at the unit's gate, shouting loudly. "Officer Ngon Hoan, took advantage of his position to threaten my son into leaving empty-handed after the divorce." This movement attracted many people to watch. The leader saw me coming and quickly called me into the office. "Comrade Ngon Hoan, what's the situation outside?" I told him honestly, and after listening, the leader was a bit speechless. "Okay, you have no problem." "Now go invite someone first." Come in here, people just keep making noise at the gate like that, what's the point?" "Yes, but she has always disliked me. If I go, I'm afraid her emotions will be even more agitated, and she won't come in." The leader pondered for a moment: "I see, you go to the mediation room first." I waited in the conciliation room for about ten minutes, but he still hadn't arrived. Just as I was about to ask what was going on, a colleague quickly ran in. "Miss Ngon Hoan, quickly go see, your ex-mother-in-law got into a fight with our leader, she died and refused to come in." I quickly ran out and immediately saw the leader being beaten. He was a police officer so it was inconvenient for him to take action. Tran's mother acted completely unilaterally. "You guys and Ngon Hoan are all on the same side, I didn't go in. Who knows what you guys will do to me if I get in." I quickly went up and pulled the person out: "Mrs. Tran, you don't need to be so paranoid about being harmed, there are surveillance cameras everywhere from the entrance to the inside." "Your son and I's divorce is legal, this divorce petition is also decided by your son himself." Having said that, I took out the electronic copy of the divorce petition I had previously prepared. "Look carefully, this is the version I drafted. Your son did not agree, so I changed it to the current version." "If you feel it is not okay, you can ask him to sign this form from me, or directly follow the proceedings." "As for what you said in your mouth that I used my authority to threaten him, that is completely non-existent." "You have constituted an act of defamation against me, I have the right to sue." Besides, you injured my leader. If you continue to cause trouble here, I won't hesitate to arrest you

for disturbing public order." Hearing these words, Tran's mother was stunned. "You are a police officer so I said no to you, you don't need to threaten me." "I will tell my son to reclaim every penny you should not receive." As soon as he finished speaking, Tran Thoi An arrived. "Mom, how long do you want to make a fuss?" "Sorry Hoan Hoan, I didn't know she came to Kinh Chau." I frowned: "You came just in time, in front of my leader and Mom, please explain clearly about the divorce petition." Tran Thoi An sighed softly: "Mom, don't make a fuss anymore, I told you, I volunteered all those things for Hoan Hoan." "She didn't force me, nor did she brainwash me." "If you keep making a fuss, I will really ignore you." Tran's mother screamed and cried: "Oh my god, what kind of son did I raise, giving my money to someone else." "What good is she, when she told me not to marry, I insisted on marrying her. After being married for so many years, I can't take care of my family. I can't even leave a child to our Tran family. Now I still want to share most of my money!" Tran Thoi An was also a bit helpless and kept apologizing. "I'm really sorry, everyone." "I'll take her away right away." A farce finally ended with Tran's mother leaving. That evening, Tran Thoi An sent me a text message.
