Chapter 1 — Hiding 500,000 Bonus, I Made My Husband Leave Empty

Tet Bonus 520,000 Yuan, I Lie Only Got 20,000 — Husband Immediately Transferred 15,000 To Sister, I Just Laughed Faintly The day I received the year-end bonus of 520,000 Yuan, I didn't dare reveal it. Quietly depositing 500,000 yuan in fixed savings, I went home and told my husband:

“This year the company is not doing well, I only got a bonus of 20,000 yuan.”

He just replied softly: His face was calm, no emotions could be seen. I thought he believed it. Unexpectedly, early the next morning, my phone suddenly rang with a transaction notification. I opened it and almost burst out laughing. He just transferred 15,000 yuan to his sister. The note is only four words:

“Paying off the mortgage.”

I stared at that transfer line, the corners of my lips couldn't help but curl up. I'm about to pay tuition. The family's car loan is also coming due. Yet he didn't even blink his eyes, straight up giving most of the bonus he thought I received to his sister. I don't make a fuss. Also no questioning. Just quietly take a screenshot. Then turned around and went to the bank... And silently did one more big thing. Year-end bonus has been transferred to your account. After tax, a total of 520,000 yuan. The moment the bank message appeared, my hands trembled slightly. I read and reread that message three times in a row. Then delete it. After completing the transaction, I exited the application. The whole process takes less than three minutes. In the evening, Tran Hao returned home. He took off his jacket and conveniently threw it on the sofa.

“I'm so tired.”

I brought the last dish to the table.

“Let's eat.”

During the meal, he suddenly asked:

“Oh right, has your company given out year-end bonuses yet?”

My movements of picking up food never stopped.

“It's out.”

“How much?”

“Business is not good this year, only 20,000 yuan.”

He replied softly: Then he didn't say anything more. There was no expression on his face. I thought he believed it. Even felt guilty for deceiving him. Now that I think about it... It's really funny. The next morning. I was woken up by the notification sound. But not my phone. It's Tran Hao's phone. He is still sleeping. I reached out and picked up the phone. The password is still our marriage anniversary. Right at the top of the screen is a transfer notification from the bank. 【Your savings card account at 07:15 completed a transfer transaction worth 15,000 yuan.】 Recipient: Home loan payment. The sister he always loved so much. I stared at that transaction line. Any remaining feeling of stupid guilt in my heart immediately disappeared. Only a piece of cold remains. It's so cold it makes me want to laugh. Next month the family must pay 30,000 yuan for private preschool tuition for their child. The car loan is also due in just three days, a total of 8,000 yuan. But he didn't even blink his eyelids. Straight up took away most of the money he thought was my year-end bonus. I don't argue. Don't make a fuss either. I just put his phone back in its place. Then pick up your phone. Pointed towards his phone screen. Then send both the original photos and screenshots to your personal mailbox, set a password and back up carefully. Done everything chief. I got out of bed. Wash face, change clothes. Everything is exactly the same as usual. I even prepared breakfast for him. A bowl of white porridge. A fried egg. After waking up, seeing that I had woken up early, he was a bit stunned.

“Wake up so early today?”

“Yeah, can't sleep.”

He picked up his phone and took a look. Then calmly sat down to eat breakfast as if nothing happened. After eating, he prepared to go to work.

“I'm leaving.”

Walking to the door, he suddenly turned around.

“Ah yes, that 20,000 yuan bonus, please send it to me so I can arrange it together.”

I looked at him. Looking at the face I've loved for the past eight years. Then gently replied: He smiled.

“It's still my wife who understands the most.”

I open the banking app. Right in front of him, I transferred all 20,000 yuan of salary remaining in my account to him. Hearing the sound of money arriving in his account, he appeared satisfied and left. The moment the door closes. The smile on my face also disappeared. I walked out onto the balcony. Watching the car I bought before getting married, he drove away, gradually blending into the busy traffic on the street. Then I took out my phone. Click to make a phone call.

“Hello, are you a real estate broker?”

“Yes, I am the owner of apartment 1202, building 1, Gia Hoa area.”

"That's right."

“I want to sell the house.”

“The faster the better.”

After hanging up. I stood on the balcony for a long time. The wind blew coldly across my face. But inside my heart was burning hot. In the afternoon, the broker sent someone over. He is a young man with the surname Truong. Working style is very professional. Survey the house, take photos, record information.

"Sister, this apartment has a beautiful location, square layout, and high-end interior finishes. It's definitely easy to sell."

“What's the price?” I asked.

“If we follow the current market price, about 2.3 million yuan is absolutely no problem.”

“I need money urgently.” I said calmly. “The price can be further negotiated, but I only accept customers to pay once, as quickly as possible.”

Tieu Truong was stunned for a moment.

“Sister, if you are a customer paying all in cash, the price may have to be compromised quite a bit.”

"No problem."

For me now. Money is no longer the most important thing. The important thing is to take back what belongs to you. And get out of this quagmire.
