Chapter 3 — From Worker to Boss

"Nguyen Du, what do you mean by this? What do you mean I brought another woman in? Me and Nguyet Nguyet are clean. She doesn't have a place to live, I just took the status of a friend and let her temporarily stay in the house. Last night I slept in the school dormitory. Don't slander our innocence." Maybe his body hasn't betrayed me yet. But his soul betrayed him a long time ago. Since coming to the countryside, I knew he had a childhood sweetheart named Co Nguyet. The two of them were preparing to discuss marriage when there was a policy of sending young intellectuals to the countryside to receive education from poor farmers and lower-class middle farmers. But in order to not have to go to the countryside, Co Nguyet went back and forth with the factory director's son. Tieu Hong Binh was heartbroken and desperate, he went to the countryside alone, then met me. Because we come from the same place, we feel closer, and in the countryside we also rely on each other. Three years later, when he returned to the city, he immediately went to find Co Nguyet. But at that time he had just returned to the city, had not yet been assigned a job, and his conditions were far inferior to the factory director's son, so Co Nguyet rejected him. Then she married the factory director's son. Then Tieu Hong Binh confessed his love to me. I've liked him for a long time. Even though I knew he only chose me because he was hurt in love, I still didn't refuse. After getting married, he enjoyed my care, but his attitude towards me was always indifferent. And I had the illusion that one day I could warm his heart. Maybe I was wrong from the start. I shouldn't have tormented myself and let myself suffer for ten years. Luckily I'm still young and can still turn around. I smiled coldly and looked at Tieu Hong Binh: "Are you saying you two are pure? That's ridiculous. Tieu Hong Binh, ask yourself, have you ever forgotten her in the past ten years?" A guilty look flashed in Tieu Hong Binh's eyes: "In any case, she and I have always been pure, we haven't done anything." It's just that we haven't done it yet. "Tieu Hong Binh, you married me just to find someone to take care of you and support you through college. So you don't have to worry about the future." "You chose me because you found me easy to bully and liked you." "So, you coldly watched me suffer all the pain in your house, and you just said one thing, telling me not to compare." "You've been working for five years, and in those five years you've never given me a gift, you've never bought me a set of clothes, you gave them all to this woman clean? Tieu Hong Binh, do you really think I'm an idiot?" "How do you know?" He looked at Co Nguyet next to him in panic. A guilty look flashed in Co Nguyet's eyes: "It's just that I accidentally said it. I didn't expect my sister-in-law to think so wildly. I didn't mean it." "At the very least, later when I go to work, I will return the meat stamp and fabric stamp to my sister-in-law." I smiled coldly: "I didn't ask you to return it. Now I just ask you to take your things out of my house." "Also..." I took a notebook out of the closet and gave it to Tieu Hong Binh. "Return it." money." Tieu Hong Binh frowned and looked at the old notebook: "What is this?" "What money do I owe you?" I laughed coldly: "Tieu Hong Binh, you forgot so quickly. That year you told me I would pay you back for your university education, in the future you will pay it back in double." "Double the principal, it's fine." "Here, all the money I have spent on you is recorded clearly, you can see for yourself Let's go." Tieu Hong Binh laughed contemptuously: "How much money can it cost?" After saying that, he picked up the notebook without paying any attention and opened it.

come see. He turned the pages one by one. The more he turned, the heavier his face became. Finally, he looked at me with complicated eyes: "Did I spend that much money from you?" "Yes. Pay." An awkward look flashed in his eyes: "I don't have that much money right now. Moreover, you are my wife, yet you secretly kept accounts behind my back. Have you been wanting to get this money back for a long time, and now you finally found a fair excuse?" "Nguyen Du, I really didn't expect you to be that kind of person." "That year, I didn't write it down to make him pay later. I just feel like it's proof of our love, proof of what we've been through together. Therefore, I record every amount of money and always carefully preserve it. After he left for work, I never mentioned payment. Because in the first place, I didn't think to ask him for a refund. Only now, after finding out it was all not worth it, I want that money back. Anyway, this is what belongs to me. Co Nguyet also joined in: "Sister-in-law, you're doing that a bit too much. People say that husband and wife have to share the same hardship. How can you force him to pay the money you spent on your husband?"
