Chapter 6 — Dowry Melted

“Aunt Luu, I'd like to give you a glass of wine.” Aunt Luu enthusiastically stood up. “Hoa Hoa, today you helped keep the book and distributed wedding candy, it's been hard.” “Sit down, sit down to eat.” I sat down and talked a few polite words with Aunt Luu. Then I accidentally touched my wrist. "Aunt Luu, Dinh Dinh is so beautiful today." "That pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets suits her very well." Aunt Luu smiled and said: "As a thoughtful mother-in-law, I couldn't bear to part with an heirloom." I bowed my head, my voice was very light. "Um... it's really beautiful." "The bracelet my grandmother left me, also has the same lotus and vine pattern." "But it's gone." I smiled lightly. "It was melted last month." Aunt Luu froze for a moment. "Melted it?" "Yes, melted it and made it again." I raised my head, my eyes facing Aunt Luu. "It was made into the pair that Dinh Dinh is wearing." Aunt Luu's smile froze. on your face. "What are you talking about?" "The gold to make that pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets is your dowry." "Six pieces of gold, three hundred and twenty grams, left to you by your grandmother." "Not a family heirloom from the Phuong family." Aunt Luu put down the wine glass with a "click". I took out a piece of paper from my pocket. Gold smelting recall form of Xinfu jewelry store. Date, weight, signature. The writing of Tien Que Phuong. Aunt Luu stared at that slip for ten seconds. Then stand up. Her face turned pale.09Aunt Luu walked through the hall, straight towards the main desk. Tien Que Phuong was holding a glass of wine and clinking it with her relatives, smiling brightly. "In-laws, come on, let's have another drink—" "Tien Que Phuong." Aunt Luu's voice was not loud, but each word was clear. The whole table immediately fell silent. "The pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets in Dinh Dinh's hand were cooked from the dowry of your eldest daughter-in-law?" Tien Que Phuong's smile stiffened on her face. The noise in the hall suddenly subsided. The nearby tables began to listen. "In-laws, who did you hear saying that—"Aunt Luu slammed the gold-making slip on the table. "It's black and white paper, signed by yourself." "You tell me it's a family heirloom of the Phuong family?" "You took your daughter-in-law's dowry to trick my daughter?" Tien Que Phuong's face turned red and then white. "This... is not... not the same thing." "If you marry into the Phuong family, then it's their family's property." Phuong—” Aunt Luu laughed coldly. “According to your words, later when Dinh Dinh married here, you melted down his dowry and gave it to the next person?” “Do you Phuong family marry like this?” “Using the things of the first daughter-in-law to trick the next daughter-in-law?” Tien Que Phuong's lips trembled. “You... don't slander!” Trieu Dinh Dinh squeezed out from the crowd, his face pale. “Mom, why? Is that so?" Aunt Luu tugged on her daughter's wrist, looked at the bracelets, her eyes turned red. "Take this off." "This is not what the Phuong family gave you, it's a relic of your sister-in-law's grandmother." Trieu Dinh Dinh was stunned, looking towards Tien Que Phuong. "Mom, is it true?" Tien Que Phuong's mouth opened and then closed. Phuong Vien rushed forward. "Mom, what's going on?" "You should ask your mother." Aunt Luu's voice trembled, but each word was as heavy as a hammer. "Phuong Vien, I married your daughter because your mother said with certainty that the Phuong family's conditions were normal, but they were treated sincerely." "But you guys even stole the dowry's gold from the eldest daughter-in-law?" "What else in your family is real?" Phuong Vien's face was as red as pig liver. "Mother-in-law, I'm serious." don't know about this—” “You don't know?” Aunt Luu laughed coldly. "Where did your house deposit come from, you don't even know?" The whispers in the hall grew louder. I sat behind the reception desk, not moving. I didn't say a single word of these words. It was Aunt Luu who asked herself. It was revealed that Tien Que Phuong lied to himself. I just gave a piece of paper to someone who should see it. Phuong Due finally reacted, walking quickly towards me. "Giang Hoa! Are you—"
