Chapter 2 — Mother-in-law Stole Dowry Card, Not Knowing My Father Had Set A Trap

His body lost balance and staggered back a few steps, his waist hitting the sharp edge of the rosewood tea table in the living room. A heavy collision sounded. Sharp pain immediately exploded from the waist, quickly spreading throughout the whole body. I was in so much pain that I took a cold breath and my eyes turned black. Zhou Yuanhang. He just symbolically raised his hand to pull his sister away, the action was so superficial that it didn't have any sincerity. The mouth continued to conciliate as a courtesy.

"Nien Niem, please stop saying a few words. Giai Giai is still young and doesn't understand things yet."

A woman in her early twenties. An adult was looking at my bride price worth millions of yuan. Yet he told me she was still young? Looking at the disgusting faces of the three people in front of me, the last bit of warmth in my heart completely disappeared along with the pain in my waist. The man who gently asked about me every day. The person who once held my hand promised to protect me forever. This moment, I'm standing on the opposite side. Becoming an accomplice hurts me. I don't cry. Nor do they cause chaos like their mother and children. Because in front of this type of person, tears are the cheapest thing. I put my hands on my sore waist and slowly stood up straight. Amidst the chaos in the living room, I found my bag. From my pocket, I took out another phone. Right in front of them, I calmly called my father and turned on the speakerphone.

"Hello, Niem Niem? What's going on? Aren't you and Vien Hang going to your grandmother's house today?"

Dad's familiar and gentle voice rang out from the other end of the line. I took a deep breath. His voice couldn't help but tremble slightly. But the tone was strangely calm.

"Dad, is it convenient for you now?"

"I think... Dad needs to come here with lawyer Tran."

The two words "lawyer" just came out. The whole living room felt like it had been hit by a thunderbolt. Zhou Yuanhang's pupils constricted violently. The aggressive and indignant expression on his face instantly froze, replaced by a barely concealed panic. He reflexively wanted to rush over and steal my phone. I coldly looked at the hand reaching towards me. Just say one word. My eyes at that time must have been so cold that it scared him. Because his outstretched hand immediately stopped in mid-air. On the other end of the line, my father's voice immediately lowered.

"Nien Niem, what happened? Don't be afraid, dad will be here soon!"

After hanging up the phone, the atmosphere in the living room became even more sinister. Vuong Tu Lien and Chu Giai Giai just now were so aggressive as if they wanted to devour others, at this moment it was like a tiger having its claws pulled out. Although there was still dissatisfaction on his face, his momentum had clearly weakened. Obviously, they did not expect that their daughter-in-law, who was always gentle and even somewhat soft in their eyes, could be so tough. Just a few inappropriate sentences caused the lawyer to be called directly. Chu Vien Hang's face became even more unsightly. He looked at me with complicated eyes. There is anger. There is confusion. But even more so was the panic when the plan was broken. It seemed like he wanted to say a few words into the water. But I couldn't swallow my pride. At that moment, Vuong Tu Lien showed the bravery of a seasoned person experience. Seeing that she couldn't be stubborn, she immediately changed her tactics. Eyes roll around. It only takes two seconds to prepare. She knelt down again. But this time it's not kneeling in front of me. But kneel in front of Chu Vien Hang. She hugged her son's leg tightly, crying bitterly, tears and runny nose streaming down her face.

"Son! My good son!"

"It's the mother who is at fault with the child! The mother is useless!"

"Your father... your father is outside... he borrowed money at high interest rates!"

"More than 1,000,000 yuan!"

"They said if they don't pay within three days, they'll... they'll cut off one of your father's arms!"

"Mom is really at a loss!"

"Mom just came up with the idea of touching Niem Niem's bride price money!"

"I'm not greedy for her money, I just want to save your father's life!"

She cried until her heart was paralyzed. Tears and snot covered my face. As if suffering the greatest injustice in the world. Zhou Yuanhang was stunned at first. But right after that, he immediately entered the role perfectly. He squatted down, holding his mother's shoulders. His eyes turned red in an instant. The voice choked.

"Mom! Why didn't you say anything sooner?"

"Why do you have to bear such a big problem yourself?"

After speaking, he turned to look at me. His eyes were so painful and torn that he could compete for the film emperor award.

"Nien Niem, I'm sorry."

"This... I always didn't dare to tell you."

"I'm afraid you'll worry."

"I'm afraid you look down on my family."

"My mother... she's really been pushed to the limit."

Chu Giai Giai also immediately participated in the family tragedy of the year. She ran to hug her mother's arm. While crying, she told how her father had recently been hiding from the East and the West. All day long I breathe short and complain long. How ferocious are loan sharks? The whole family is a juggler. Coordinate well without any gaps.
