Chapter 4 — Mom Chooses Brother, I Choose Freedom

7

I originally intended to buy a car and drive straight back to my hometown, but thinking back, I thought it would be better to keep a little modesty. So I took the high-speed train back home, brought gifts, and went straight to Aunt Tu's house. Auntie Tu warmly welcomed me in. When she saw me bringing high-end cosmetics as a gift, she refused to accept them, saying they were too expensive and told me to keep them and use them. I told my aunt: I already have money, don't worry about me anymore. During the meal, I learned that Aunt Tu and Uncle Tu had already bought a house for their sister. "My uncle said, if a girl has her own house before getting married, she will have momentum in marriage." "If her husband's family is not good in the future, she will have the courage to leave, at least she will still have a place to return to." "The house for your younger brother, we are also gradually preparing, boys and girls are the same, in the future the daughter-in-law will not be disadvantaged." What Aunt Tu said reminded me of my mother. For my brother's sake, she was willing to peel off every piece of my skin and every bone and give it to him. Whatever was good, she gave it all to my brother. While eating, my mother called. "Damn brat! You blocked me on WeChat, right?" "I'll talk about it later. Now you come with me to the police station and take your brother out!" The sound from the phone speaker was loud, Aunt Tu and Uncle Tu both heard it, they both immediately stopped chopsticks. "I won't go. My brother will do it himself. Since he dared to come to my company to cause trouble, he must dare to bear the consequences!" "Besides, even if I go, it won't solve anything! It's the company that reports it to the police, not me!" My mother screamed, her voice hoarse: "Go to your company and ask your boss to let your brother go! Let them agree to reconcile and let him out!" "Your brother is so pitiful, he had to sleep at the police station last night! My poor son!" I smirked: "Anyway, I'm not going. Instead of wasting time calling me, why don't you prepare a few changes of clothes to bring for your pet?" My mother gritted her teeth: "Truong Tu Hue! Don't force me to go crazy! If you make me angry, I'll go straight to your company to find the boss!" I laughed even harder: "Go ahead, Mom, feel free to go there. Go in there and live with your beloved brother, even if you're a couple!" My mother angrily cursed me a few more words, her words were extremely harsh, then hung up the phone. Aunt Tu looked at me worriedly: "Tell me, will your brother cause trouble with you when he goes out in the future?" I looked at her with steady eyes: "It's okay, Aunt Tu. If he dares to find me to cause trouble, even better. I'll send him to prison." After eating, I went to the company and submitted my resignation letter. I told Ms. Tran over and over again: "Definitely don't reconcile anything just because you respect me. You and I have been used to causing trouble since we were little. Only by being taught properly will we remember our lives!" Ms. Tran nodded: "Tu Hue, a girl who dares to expose her relatives for the sake of justice like you is really rare." I smiled softly: "It's all for this house, I don't want to live in injustice forever." "And Ms. Tran, after I quit my job, if you come to harass me again, just report to the police immediately, don't be soft-hearted!" Ms. Tran was confused: "What exactly did you and I come to the company to make such a fuss about? Looking at your fierce face scares people!" I smiled awkwardly: "It's just because of my family's two houses. They kicked me out of the house, just to force me to sign a paper giving up my inheritance rights." next.” Ms. Tran looked at me sympathetically. I smiled and waved goodbye to her and left the company. 8 Leaving the company, I started looking at houses. Every area, every design, every living space makes me dizzy. In the end, I chose an apartment along the river, with a direct view of the sparkling water, and a very airy landscape. Surrounded by full amenities: shopping center, hospital, train station - all close by. Most important: far from my mother's house. Wanting to meet each other by chance... is also difficult. Housing prices in small towns are affordable. After buying the apartment, I still had more than one million left over for furniture and living expenses. Not to mention the annual bank interest, even though I don't work, I still live comfortably. I stood on the balcony of the rough apartment, looking out at the vast river scene in front of me. Without much hesitation, I decided to make a one-time payment and buy the house outright. Truong Tu Hue, very soon, you will have a home that truly belongs to you. I found a very reputable furniture company and told them to design some perspective drawings based on my ideas. The day my house officially started construction, Truong Tu Thanh had just been released. Aunt Tu sent me to see the latest post on my mother's circle of friends. 【My son is suffering so much! There is an unfilial daughter in the house, the whole family is not at peace!】 The accompanying picture is of my brother sitting at a table full of food, my mother was so afraid that her son who was over two hundred pounds would be detained that he would lose weight. What kind of person my brother is, no one knows about his relatives - debauchery, gambling, flirting, everything. My father's accident compensation money was almost poured into this bottomless pit. There was also someone who set up a couple of girls for my brother, but seeing that general and hearing that he was addicted to gambling, everyone seemed disgusted. My mother said that those girls have no eyes for people. My brother is a "potential stock", the fortune teller even said - this life is the fate of the government! I borrowed Aunt Tu's phone and scrolled through my mother's circle of friends. She has not been at peace these past few days, always sharing articles on "garbage" sites like: 【The house is about to be demolished, the unfilial daughter wants to share the money, angering the father to death on the spot!】 【The unfilial daughter bought a house in Beijing but refused to take care of her elderly mother!】 【Shock! An unfilial daughter dares to target her parents' retirement money!】 【From ancient times until now, it is only right that the inheritance should be passed on to the son!】 I scrolled and pressed the report button one by one - I wonder how these deviant pages exist? Conveniently, I used my phone to share a few "shocking" articles: 【Grandparents who favor men and despise women, how will they live at the end of their lives?】 【Shock: Parents leave eight houses to their son, but when he gets sick, they look to their daughter to pay for medicine!】 【Son inherits four houses, but regrets paying for medical treatment for his biological mother!】 My mother can't see my friends circle, but it's on my friends list. I still have many "eyes and ears" for her. Aunt Eldest and Aunt Second will definitely tell you all about those articles quickly. 9 That evening, my mother called me. “Truong Tu Hue, I also think it through. It's like I've never given birth to a daughter with white eyes like you. From now on, I am no longer your mother." “Tomorrow you come to the notary office and sign the papers for me!” “I have nothing to do with nursing care anymore, okay?” I asked. My mother smiled coldly voice: "The chaos has come to this, I still expect you to take care of me?" I also smirked and replied: "Oral words are not as good as black and white paper. Tomorrow, by the way, go to the notary office and make a confirmation. I did not take anything from the house, and I also have no responsibility for your care." My mother agreed: "If I knew that when you were born, I would have strangled you to death!" After hanging up the phone, I still didn't feel secure, so I went to the law office and found a lawyer to prepare a professional contract.
