Chapter 4 — Don't tease your wife

I stood under the light, not explaining the housework, nor the salary. I just asked Ma Thuc Mai. "Did Ha Thua An raise his hand to attack first?" Ma Thuc Mai's eyes were averted. "No!" "Did he say he wanted to set rules for me?" "No!" "Did he come home drunk and throw things?" "No!" She screamed three times "No", each voice was louder than the last. Thieu Ninh laughed softly. She turned to look at the security guard. "Can the camera at the apartment gate save all of those words?" The security guard was stunned for a moment then nodded. "Save it." Ma Thuc Mai's face suddenly stiffened. The second aunt still wanted to rush forward. "What about staying? It's true that you hit someone!" She raised her hand to push me on the shoulder. I don't fight back. But Thieu Ninh took a step forward to block her, his voice cold as ice. "You touch her once, I will call the police immediately." The second aunt's hand stopped in mid-air. At that moment, a taxi stopped on the side of the road. My parents got out of the car. My mother's eyes were swollen, when she saw me she was about to run over. Ma Thuc Mai was faster, rushed forward and knelt down in front of my parents. "Your in-laws, you are finally here!" She cried until her heart was broken. "Your daughter has beaten my son to disability, you must give us an explanation!" My father's face turned pale. "You stand up and talk first." Ma Thuc Mai did not stand up. She hugged my mother's pant leg. "If you don't pay me back or force her to kneel down and apologize, I will die here!" My mother's face turned white. My father held both hands tightly. Just as I was about to move forward, Thieu Ninh pressed my shoulder back. She looked at Ma Thuc Mai. “How much money do you want?” Ma Thuc Mai's cry was choked. The second aunt immediately continued. "Fifty thousand!" The surrounding area suddenly became silent. Ma Thuc Mai's eyes rolled back and forth, her crying became even louder. "Yes, fifty thousand! Also force Phuong Anh Tuyet to publicly apologize to my son, his salary after the marriage must be paid to the Ha family, otherwise this matter is not over yet!" My father was so angry that he was trembling all over. "You guys are extortion!" Relatives of the Ha family immediately rushed up. "You should be careful with your words!" "Is it still reasonable for your daughter to beat someone?" "Paying money is a matter of course." Suddenly!” I looked at those faces and suddenly completely calmed down. I walked up to Ma Thuc Mai. "You want fifty thousand?" She raised her tear-stained face. "Not even one penny short!" I nodded. "Okay." Everyone was stunned. I continued: "Tomorrow you will bring the injury assessment file, hospital bills, and liability certificate to the court to submit." Ma Thuc Mai's face changed. I looked at her. "Screaming here, it's useless." She stood up from the ground and pointed straight at my nose. "You wait, I will let everyone at your office know what kind of person you are!" As soon as her words ended, my phone rang. On the screen is the name of the company's human resources manager. I picked up the phone, the person's voice was very deep. "Phuong Anh Tuyet, is it convenient for you to come to the company now?" "On the internet, someone posted a video of you beating your husband, it has spread throughout the company group."05 When I hung up the phone, Ma Thuc Mai's face showed a smug look. She doesn't cry anymore. Standing in the middle of the crowd, her eyes lit up. "Phuong Anh Tuyet, I told you, you can't escape." I looked at her. "Who posted the video?" She immediately turned away. "I don't know." The second aunt standing next to her sneered. "The public's eyes are so bright, what are you doing that you're afraid of people watching?" I didn't pay attention to her anymore. Thieu Ninh took my parents back to the car and advised them to go home first. My mother held my hand tightly and refused to let go. "Anh Tuyet, don't try too hard." I held my hand tightly.

"Mom, this time I won't give in." Tears fell from her eyes again. My father patted my shoulder gently. "I'll go with you." I shook my head. "Mom and dad, go home, don't give them a chance to come to our door and cause trouble." My father's face darkened, and after half a day he nodded. On the way to the company, Thieu Ninh sat in the passenger seat, his finger constantly scrolling on the phone screen. She found that video for me to watch. The video is very short. There was only the scene of Ha Thua An lying on the floor, Ma Thuc Mai screaming, and me standing next to him and looking down. The part where he raised his hand to hit me was completely absent. The next part where he screamed to call the police was also cut out. The title is even more dazzling. *Newlywed wife practiced martial arts for many years, but after half a month of marriage, she beat her crippled husband.* Comments exploded. Some people say I'm scary. Some people say that a man who marries the wrong wife ruins his whole life. Some people also asked why the husband fell to the floor. But very quickly it was drowned out by curses. I returned the phone to Thieu Ninh. "Can we handle it?" Thieu Ninh replied: "Okay, but we can't rush into a duel." She looked out the window. “They want to mold you into an abuser, you can't just prove that you are unjust.” I understand what she means. What I need to prove is not that I'm pitiful.
