Chapter 5 — From Worker to Boss

But Co Nguyet criticized the old room. To make her happy, Tieu Hong Binh advanced his school salary and repainted the room. After that, Tieu Hong Binh also moved back to live in the house. Every day he had to change two buses, but for Co Nguyet's sake, he still volunteered. Completely different from when he lived with me. But as the new feeling gradually wore off, he quickly realized that things were not as he imagined. Co Nguyet is a woman who only knows how to enjoy. Every day she just walks around and dances. The matter of finding a job that she had previously talked about never happened. Every day we have to wait for Tieu Hong Binh to come back and help wash our clothes. Tieu Hong Binh's mother wanted to order Co Nguyet like she used to control me. But Co Nguyet did not listen at all. Every day when I wake up to eat, I don't even wash the bowl after eating. Tell her to cook, she shakes her head and says she doesn't know. She does not touch everything in the house. Tieu Hong Binh's mother couldn't bear it anymore, looked for her son and complained: "What kind of wife have you got? She doesn't do even a little bit of work, and still makes her wait for me. It's not as good as Nguyen Du, at least she's easy to command." "Moreover, she's idle every day. You have to pay living expenses, I don't care for people with free time." Tieu Hong Binh rubbed his hands: "I don't have money now. Wait until next month's salary is paid, I'll give it to my mother." Return home in the evening. room, Tieu Hong Binh tried talking to Co Nguyet. But before he could speak, Co Nguyet got angry first. "Mr. Hong Binh, didn't you say you wouldn't let me suffer? But look what kind of days I'm living now?" "My mother always criticizes me for this, hates me for that, and even orders me to do things. I married you as my husband, not to come to your house as a servant." "Everywhere she goes, she compares me to Nguyen Du. I tell you, I absolutely will not." Like Nguyen Du, let your family dictate to you like a servant.” Tieu Hong Binh was immediately stunned. He finally understood what he hadn't been able to adapt to lately. That's because my attentive care is no longer there. That was because the feeling of relief on his body had disappeared. He remembered the days when I used to live in his house. Remembering my waist being bent by heavy housework. Even remembering our child that year, it was because I worked too hard at home that he lost it. But I never complained about the house in front of him, I just silently endured all the resentment. As for Co Nguyet, her mouth said she wanted to share the same suffering with him. But the sweet part, she enjoys. The painful part, she let him bear. A trace of disgust immediately appeared in his heart. He pushed Co Nguyet away, picked up his coat and walked out the door: "I remember today's work hasn't been finished yet, I'll go back to school first." After returning to the school dormitory, he stayed up all night. In my mind, there was only one sentence from Co Nguyet: "You are absolutely not like Nguyen Du, you don't let my family command you like a servant." The next day after work, for some reason he came to my door. Just saw me returning with food. "Nguyen Du, please wait a moment." I turned my head to look at him. He quickly stepped forward: "Nguyen Du, I have something to tell you." I held out my hand: "Are you here to pay? Then pay." His face turned slightly unsightly: "I'm not here to pay, I..." Before he could finish speaking, I interrupted him: "If it weren't for coming to pay, we wouldn't have anything to talk about. Go home." Tieu Hong Binh stepped up again and continued to stop me: "Nguyen Du, I really have something to tell you." Miss.” A guilty look flashed in his eyes: “I was thinking about everything last night

night, I finally realized how much she had spent before for me, how much work she had done at home. Before, it was me..."He hadn't finished speaking yet, a shrill scream rang out. Co Nguyet rushed forward and slapped Tieu Hong Binh hard in the face: "I was wondering where you ran off to last night, it turned out you missed your ex-wife." Tieu Hong Binh covered his face, looking at Co Nguyet in disbelief. He did not expect Co Nguyet to have such a sharp face. In his eyes, Co Nguyet was always weak, honest, in need of someone else's protection. Never before. is the same fierce look as now. "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't have it." Co Nguyet pointed at him and snorted coldly: "Don't you have it? Went to the person's house but said they didn't have it. Or do you miss someone else's new house?" "But in this life you can't live anymore, you can only lead me to squeeze into a cramped house with two old people." "Also..." Co Nguyet pointed at me again, her tone sarcastic: "After being divorced and still seducing my husband, why are you so shameless?" "Do you know that such behavior will be criticized and punished in the newspaper?" "Nguyen Du, now I will go to the factory to denounce it." You have bad manners, let's see how you survive in the future." Looking at Co Nguyet going crazy, I just felt like she was like a crazy dog, biting everywhere. I raised my hand and slapped her straight in the face:
