Updated 10/08/2026 10 min read

After three days on business, I braved the storm and returned home. As soon as I walked through the door, heaven and earth seemed to collapse. My mother-in-law fell into a manhole in the front yard of the villa. Rainwater keeps pouring in, the situation is extremely dangerous. I immediately called someone to save her. But the new maid that my husband hired stopped me. "Hey! She lost my cat. I'm forcing her to look for the cat, don't cause me any more trouble!" I looked at her in surprise. "You're just a maid and you dare to give orders to the homeowner?" She spread her hands. "Just the mother-in-law of the Deputy General Director, isn't he his biological mother, is she considered a member of this family?" "Anyway, even your position as Deputy General Manager is not enough. Not sure how long I can sit still.” I was stunned. It turned out that she thought her mother-in-law was my biological mother. Looking at the red warning about rain and storms appearing on my phone, my heart felt like it was on fire. I quickly called my husband. But he leisurely said: "Vy Vy is the housekeeper I hired. Her ideas are also my ideas." "After all, your mother enjoys happiness in our house every day, asking her to do some small things is also the right thing to do." Okay, if that's the case, then your mother and I don't care. …… But thinking back, my mother-in-law treated me very well. I stood in the middle of a rainstorm, barely able to open my eyes. Under the crater, the mother-in-law's voice became weaker and weaker. I tightened my grip on the phone, forcing myself to stay calm. "Pho Thua Chau, I'll ask you one last time." "Are you in charge of this matter?" On the other end of the line, Pho Thua Chau laughed softly. "Khuong Ninh, haven't you caused enough trouble?" "Okay, I'll hang up..." I quickly interrupted him. "I repeat once again, the person who fell into the hole was not my mother, but your mother!" Pho Thua Chau seemed to have just heard a sentence. funny story. "Khuong Ninh, even if you lie, you have to make up something that sounds reasonable." "My mother is traveling in France, how can she stay home?" After saying that, he hung up the phone. I called back, only the line was busy. Pho Thua Chau actually signed up her mother-in-law for a trip to Europe. But she had never been abroad in her whole life. It was not until the day of departure that she discovered she had never applied for a passport. In the end, she gave that slot to my mother. She held my hand and said shyly: "Ninh Ninh, anyway, I don't understand the beautiful scenery outside. She is in-laws and understands, so it's a good idea to let her go." "Don't tell Thua Chau. I'm afraid he will think I have no knowledge." The rain hit my face, cold as a knife. Vuong Vy Vy stood on the steps holding an umbrella. Seeing me hang up the phone, she pouted. "The call is over? What did General Director Pho say?" I was no longer in the mood to argue with her, turned around and was about to rush towards the crater. Vuong Vy Vy immediately raised her hand to stop me. "My cat hasn't been found yet. Today, until the cat is found, no one is allowed to pull her out!" I suddenly turned my head. "The person in the hole is really your boss's biological mother!" Vuong Vy Vy rolled her eyes. "Don't play that trick with me!" "I've heard her say many times things like 'Our Ninh Ninh family is so good'." "I've never heard of having a mother." No husband praises his daughter-in-law like that." "Doesn't every mother-in-law scold her daughter-in-law for being wasteful, acting like a boss, not knowing how to give birth?" "The person who called you by your intimate name and praised you like that is definitely your biological mother!" She said with a very matter-of-fact look. I was so angry that my hands were shaking. From down the hole, the mother-in-law's voice came again. "Ninh Ninh... don't beg her..." "Hurry up and go inside, don't let yourself get sick in the rain..." Hearing those words, my heart felt like someone was squeezing it. It's come to this and she's still worried about me. Vuong Vy Vy laughed even louder. "Did you hear that? It's still Ninh Ninh, it's Ninh Ninh." "Birth mother pretending to be mother-in-law, it's really not like that."

at all.” I didn't care about her anymore, turned around and shouted to the maids: “Get the rope! Call security! Report to the police!” But before they could act, Vuong Vy Vy shouted: “Who dares? As General Manager Pho said, I am the one who has the right to make decisions in this house now." "If the cat doesn't come back today, no one is allowed to pull this old lady up." The maids looked at each other, but they didn't really dare to move. I couldn't believe it when I looked at them. This is our Khuong family's villa. It's the wedding house that my father gave me. But now, just based on one sentence from Pho Thua Chau, a new housekeeper can make everyone angry. prevented me from rescuing people. The rain became heavier and heavier. The water in the front yard was up to my ankles. The rainwater poured down into the hole. My mother-in-law's weak cry for help pounded into my heart. I rushed to the edge of the hole, clinging to the slippery edge. I will definitely save you." Just when I didn't know what to do, Pho Thua Chau finally returned. As if I had grabbed the last straw to save my life, I staggered towards him. "Pho Thua Chau, quickly go to the edge of the hole and take a look. It's really your mother!" "She's about to not be able to stand it anymore!" Pho Thua Chau did not look towards the crater but instead turned to look at Vuong Vy Vy. Vuong Vy Vy immediately cried and threw herself into his arms. "General Manager Pho, you're finally back. I'm really about to be scared to death." "The landlady brought her mother to the house to cause trouble, and scolded me for being a maid and a servant." "I only asked her mother to help me find the cat, but they said I wanted to kill people." "General Manager Pho, I'm just an ordinary person, how can I provoke rich housewives like them?" Deputy Thua Chau raised his hand and patted her on the back. "Okay, I'm here." here." That scene made my eyes hurt. I rushed forward and grabbed his arm. "You come and take a look first, just once!" Pho Thua Chau pushed me away. "Khuong Ninh, have you made enough trouble?" "If your mother was really in the pit and heard you coming back, why didn't she call your name?" Tears immediately fell from my eyes. "She has no strength anymore!" A look of disgust flashed in Pho Thua Chau's eyes. "Khuong Ninh, I don't have time to play tricks with you.” “I've met many people like your mother. They think that if a daughter marries into the Pho family, she can use it to act evilly in your house." "Now she just wants to use your name to escape." I looked at him, suddenly feeling that the man in front of me was strange and scary. He lost his father when he was young. It was my mother-in-law who relied on street vending, washing clothes and working as an hourly maid to gradually raise him to be successful in education. That year, I met my mother-in-law for the first time. She stood awkwardly in my living room, not knowing where to put her hands. At that time, Pho Thua Chau said to me with red eyes: "Khuong Ninh, your mother has been miserable all her life. In the future, you must let her live good days." But now, his biological mother is in the manhole, and he still feels that even looking at her is troublesome. Seeing that I didn't say anything, Vuong Vy Vy spoke again: "General Manager Pho, in my opinion, the boss is just looking down on me." "I, like you, rely on myself to climb up step by step." "A rich lady born with a golden spoon in her mouth like her will naturally feel sorry for the lives of others." like we are cheap." This sentence accurately hit Pho Thua Chau's pain. His face became even colder. "Khuong Ninh, sorry Vy Vy." I looked at him in disbelief. "What did you say?" Vuong Vy Vy looked at me from above. "Don't you want me to let you go? Then kneel down

Sorry!" "Admit that your mother lost my cat, admit that your whole family has no rules, admit that I, Vuong Vy Vy, am the one who has the right to make decisions in this house." I clenched my fists. Pho Thua Chau calmly said: "If you kneel once, will you lose any meat?" "Your mother caused trouble like this, I should apologize on her behalf." "Moreover, Vy Vy is not an ordinary maid." usually. She is the housekeeper hired by me." "Don't always use your appearance as a rich housewife to oppress others." I finally understood. He protected Vuong Vy Vy not only because of the new feeling. But also because Vuong Vy Vy had a lowly background like him. She worshiped him, considered him as her master. And I and the Khuong family forever reminded him that everything he has today is thanks to standing on the foundation given to him by someone. I aim. eyes. In front of human life, dignity is not worth a penny. I slowly bowed my knees and said word by word: "Sorry, my mother doesn't understand the rules." "She shouldn't have lost your cat." The pride in Vuong Vy Vy's eyes was almost impossible to hide. "That's fine." I raised my head to look at her. "Can I save people now?" She spread her hands. "What's the hurry? Save the cat first." My blood turned cold. "Vuong Vy Vy, don't be too harsh!" At this moment, a faint sound came from the pit. It seemed that her mother-in-law heard Vuong Vy Vy's words. A wet cat was lifted up by her from below the pit. Vuong Vy Vy screamed and rushed to hug the cat. "Mimi! Mom's treasure!” After the cat was brought up, Vuong Vy Vy hugged it and cried loudly. “Mimi, you scared me to death. Why is my whole body so wet? Is that old lady down there bullying you?" Vuong Vy Vy raised her head to look at Pho Thua Chau. "General Director Pho, look. Mimi has been threatened like this." "She must have taken revenge on my cat down there." "She was upset with me so she deliberately vented her anger on Mimi!" I lay face down at the edge of the hole, trying my best to reach down. "Mom, give me your hand!" Mother-in-law didn't have much strength left. Rainwater continued to pour into the hole. The water level had risen to her neck. I turned my head and shouted: "Fu Thua Chau! The cat has been brought up! Hurry and save people!" Vuong Vy Vy hugged the cat and cried even harder. "No! She bullied Mimi and still hasn't apologized to Mimi." "General Director Pho, if you don't get justice for me and Mimi, who will treat me in the future?" Pho Thua Chau lowered her eyes and looked towards the crater. "Before I returned, you two were always bullying Vy Vy." "Now that I'm back, the cat will immediately be brought up." "If this isn't an act to attract attention, then what is it?" "Khuong Ninh, that's enough, don't continue." continue to pretend to be pitiful!" Vuong Vy Vy immediately added fuel to the fire: "General Manager Pho, just now the boss lady still beat me." "This type of person only relies on her status as the eldest lady of the Khuong family to look down on ordinary people like us." "If you don't teach her a lesson today, she will ride on your head in the future." Pho Thua Chau was stung by this sentence, her face became even more gloomy. "Control Khuong Ninh, make her seriously ask for forgiveness." "Sorry, Vy Vy!" Several security guards and management staff immediately stepped forward. I was held tightly by several security guards. Pho Thua Chau stood under the umbrella, coldly looking at me. It was like looking at a crazy person causing trouble for no reason. I was pinned down in the mud, my knees hit the ground hard. Blood immediately flowed out, I was in so much pain that my eyes went black. But I didn't care about the pain. I knelt and crawled to Pho Thua Chau's feet, holding his pants. "Pho Thua Chau, I beg you. You can do whatever you want me to do.”
