Chapter 2 — Eating a piece of sea cucumber, I sent my husband's family out the door

I bought that house entirely in cash last year. A luxury apartment of two hundred square meters. Fully completed interior. Total value 12,000,000 yuan. On the documents, only my name is written. This was completed before I decided to get married. I told Tran Hao that my family would take care of it. He just needs to buy household electrical appliances. He spent 50,000 yuan. Only 50,000 yuan. Yet he kept repeating that amount of 50,000 yuan for several months. Life after marriage started going wrong from the first day. Wedding night. After all the guests left, I was so tired that my back ached. Just as she was about to lie down and rest, Vuong Thuy Phan pushed the door open and walked in.

“Nhuoc Van, wake up at five o'clock tomorrow morning and cook breakfast.”

“Tran Hao has to go out at six thirty to take the subway to work.”

I replied: But I didn't expect her so-called breakfast to be four dishes and one soup. The next morning, I woke up at five o'clock and went to the kitchen. As soon as I opened the refrigerator, I saw a piece of paper stuck on top.

“Breakfast: bird's nest porridge, boiled eggs, stir-fried green vegetables, braised sawfish, rib soup.”

A woman who once thrived in the technology world like me. Early in the morning, at dawn, I stood by the kitchen scraping fish scales. At six twenty, Tran Hao woke up. He sat down at the dining table and tasted a piece of sawfish.

“A bit fishy.”

“Next time I will add a little more cooking wine.”

He did not speak. Vuong Thuy Phan walked out of the room. She glanced over at the dining table. His face immediately darkened.

“Can this thing be eaten by people?”

“The sawfish's skin was fried to pieces.”

“Have you never cooked rice before?”

I tried to suppress my anger.

“Mom... I'm normally very busy with work.”

“Who do you call mom?” She slammed on the table. "Once you marry into the family, you have to change the way you address yourself."

I gritted my teeth.

“Mom, I'll pay attention next time.”

That word "mother" made me uncomfortable all over. But I think I just stepped into this house. Just wait a little and it will pass. On to the third day. Things became even more outrageous. I leave my working laptop on the coffee table in the living room. Vuong Thuy Phan walked by and saw it. She closed the computer and threw it on the sofa.

“Women's items are not placed in a central position.”

“It will crush a man's luck.”

I looked at the laptop storing the company's core source code. Anger rushed straight to my head. But in the end I still picked it up. Bring it into the office. Wednesday evening. I called my assistant and told him about tomorrow's meeting schedule. The phone has just connected. Tran Hao rushed out of the bedroom. Snatched the phone out of my hand.

“Who are you calling?”

"Colleague."

"Colleague?"

He smiled faintly.

"You've already married into the Tran family. You still call men outside in the middle of the night? You don't feel embarrassed, but I still feel embarrassed for you."

I looked at him. Say nothing. He glared at me for a few seconds. Suddenly burst into laughter again. Then give me the phone back.

“Okay, go to bed early.”

At that moment, I suddenly found his smile extremely strange. Like a poisonous snake. Thursday. He started making trouble. After dinner, he sat on the sofa playing games. Then send me to wash your feet. I stood still without moving. He suddenly threw the game controller to the ground.

“Don't be ignorant thing."

I looked at him. Lower your voice:

“Tran Hao, don't be too harsh.”

He froze for a second. I don't understand why he moved his eyes elsewhere. Finally, don't force me anymore. Friday. Vuong Thuy Phan started teaching me "rules".

"In our Tran family, women are not allowed to sit at the main table when eating."

“Wait until the men finish eating before it's your turn to eat.”

"The money in the house must be handed over to Tran Hao."

“Men who keep money are like a true family.”

I heard every single thing. Don't say a word. Saturday. It's also today. On the table there is a plate of sea cucumbers. I bought it. It's also me who cooks. I picked up a piece and put it in a bowl. Haven't had time to bring it to my mouth yet. Tran Hao's slap fell. I sit on the chair. Look at the mother and daughter sitting opposite. Time passes second by second. The living room was so quiet that you could clearly hear the clock ticking on the wall. Tran Hao began to sit still. He paced back and forth in the living room. Occasionally glanced out the window. Vuong Thuy Phan sat neatly on the sofa. Face tense. Fingers continuously scratching the armrest of the chair.

“Showing mysterious magic tricks.”

She muttered.

“Let's see what else it can do.”

I picked up a chopstick of green vegetables and put them in a bowl. Chew slowly.

“Wait until someone arrives, everyone will know.”

The doorbell didn't ring. There was only the "whisking" sound of the encryption lock. The person who walked in was not lawyer Tham. It's a young girl. All over the body are branded goods. Carrying several shopping bags in hand. That is Tran Hao's sister. Behind her there is another woman. Wear a white dress. Long loose hair. Looks weak and gentle. As soon as she entered the door, Tran Kieu conveniently threw a pile of shopping bags on the sofa.

“Brother, mother, I'm home.”

“Let's see what you bought.”

Vuong Thuy Phan immediately changed her face. Smiling, he walked over to greet her.

“Oh my dear daughter.”

“Buying this much must cost a lot of money, right?”

Tran Kieu raised his chin proudly.

“Not much.”

“Just over 30,000 yuan.”

“Swipe your brother's card.”

I sat at the dining table. Quietly looked at Tran Kieu. That card is my supplementary card. I gave it to Tran Hao to buy some household items. Unexpectedly, he gave it directly to his sister. Tran Kieu turned his head to see me. Immediately rolled his eyes.

“Hey, is your sister-in-law at home too?”

“I thought you were working overtime again.”

The woman in the white dress behind stepped forward. She gently smiled at Tran Hao.

“Brother Hao, auntie, I'm here to bother you.”

As soon as he saw that woman, Tran Hao's eyes immediately lit up. He hurriedly stepped forward.

“To Thien!”

“Why did you come here?”

“Quickly sit down, quickly sit down.”

Tran Hao's childhood sweetheart. When we met him, he mentioned it once. Say that she is the younger sister who grew up together since childhood. Later go abroad. Looks like it's back now. To Thien glanced at me. Then he covered his mouth in surprise.

“Oh my god, sister-in-law.”

“What's wrong with your face?”

“Why are you so red and swollen?”

Tran Kieu laughed contemptuously.

“What else?”

"Probably because I didn't listen, I was taught by my brothers."
