Chapter 7 — I Was Evicted From Home The Day I Lost My Job, 7 Days Later I Became Their Boss

Two security guards immediately approached to warn her, and she reluctantly remained silent. The results of the trial... were not surprising. The court determined that Chu Minh Hien committed serious errors in the marriage and that the act of transferring common property was real. The verdict was given: The house is in Chu Minh Hien's name but is common property before marriage, belongs to me, I only need to refund him a small initial part. Of the joint savings, I divided two-thirds. In addition, he must pay an additional one hundred thousand in compensation for mental damages. When I heard the verdict, I breathed out a deep breath. It was as if something heavy in my heart... had finally been lifted. Stepping out of the court, the sky suddenly became sunny. The light penetrated the clouds and shone on me, strangely warm. Chu Minh Hien stood there, his face pale, his whole body as if he had lost all strength, leaning against the wall. His mother sat down on the steps in front of the court, continuing to cry, but this time, there was only despair in her crying. Chu Le, her makeup smeared, rushed in front of me, her eyes bloodshot.

"Lam Van, you are truly cruel! You are truly too cruel!"

I looked at her face distorted by jealousy and smiled softly.

“I only learned from you guys.”

When the wall fell, people stepped on it even more. The Chu family's retribution came faster than I thought.

Chu Le's "splendid achievements" spread throughout the industry through internal stories.

Being fired from a leading company in the industry for falsifying data and bullying colleagues... that is an indelible stain on your career record. No decent company would dare accept it. It is said that she interviewed in many places and was eliminated right from the background check. A self-centered person like her cannot accept low-paying jobs at small companies. The actual gap was so great that she completely lost control. No longer having a source of income, and being cut off from her "support" money, her previous life of spending was gone. She stays at home all day complaining and arguing with her mother and younger brother, blaming all her dissatisfaction on others. As for Chu Minh Hien, the situation is no better. He had to pay a large compensation, lost his house, and now can only live with his parents and sister in an old apartment. More importantly… he lost me. The person the whole family once considered a "money tree". After deducting living expenses, the remaining money is not worth much. Life plummeted rapidly. His mother, due to anger and pressure, had recurrent high blood pressure and had to be hospitalized. The hospital bill became the trigger for a new conflict. Chu Minh Hien and Chu Le quarreled in the hospital hallway about who had to pay more, blaming each other, making it known to everyone. People who were once close to their family, after knowing everything, also began to point fingers and stay away.

"Hey, have you heard? The Chu family's daughter-in-law is really terrible now, she's a director at a big company."

“Yeah, when people lose their jobs, their whole family kicks them out. They must regret it now.”

"It's worth it! Having a good wife but not knowing how to keep it, instead raising that lazy boy, now everything is gone!"

Those gossips were like invisible blades, cutting into the little remaining pride of the Chu family. One afternoon, I received a call from an unknown number. As soon as I picked up the phone, my mother's weak voice, mixed with flattery, rang out on the other end of the line husband.

“Van… Van ah, it's mom…”

I almost laughed out of disgust.

"Van Van, I know I was wrong before, I'm sorry. Look... out of respect for my relationship with Minh Hien, can I... come to the hospital to visit my mother? By the way... hospital fees... can you help me advance..."

I didn't say a word. Hang up directly. Then block this number. That was the last number she could contact me with.
