Chapter 15
Chapter 15 — My Cousin Used My House To Swindle 11,800,000 Yuan, But Didn't Know The House Was Cleared
“Don't fight little by little.”
I remember that sentence. Leaving the tea room, I made a decision. I called lawyer Ha.
“Lawyer Ha, we have a new piece of evidence.”
"The camera photos provided by Trieu Bang can prove that Vuong Tu Lan participated in the entire loan application process."
“Plus the audio file, WeChat history and report file in my hand…”
“Can you help me organize a complete set of evidence?”
Lawyer Ha responded very quickly.
“When do you plan to use it?”
“Very soon.”
“For what occasion?”
“The Tham family is about to have a family gathering.”
“In a few days it will be my grandfather's death anniversary.”
“The whole family will come.”
The other end of the line was silent for a moment.
“Are you sure you want to use it in that situation?”
"Sure."
“So you have to prepare yourself mentally.”
“It's not about preparing evidence.”
“It's about being mentally prepared.”
“If you expose all of this in front of the whole family…”
“Then there will be no turning back.”
“There was originally no turning back.”
Lawyer Ha did not say anything more.
“I will help you arrange the documents.”
“Give it to me in two days.”
Grandfather's death anniversary is the thirteenth day of the ninth lunar month every year. The whole family will return to their old house in the countryside to worship their ancestors. Uncle's house. Third uncle's house. Plus a few distant relatives. More than twenty people. This is the largest gathering of the Tham family every year. It is also the stage that Vuong Tu Lan likes best to play the role of "good wife and good mother". It's even a battlefield where she's best at using group pressure to pressure me. Just this time... The person standing in the center of the stage will change people. The old house is located on the outskirts of Cam city, a self-built three-story house from the time my grandfather left it. When I arrived, there were several cars parked in the yard. Vuong Tu Lan was busy in the main house, commanding his sisters-in-law to set up the offering table. As soon as she saw me, the smile on her face stopped for a moment and then immediately returned.
“Nhuoc An is here.”
The tone is light, neither hot nor cold. Tham Quoc Luong stood in the corner of the room, saw me and nodded slightly. Tham Tu Hien is not here. Third uncle's house sits on the other side. Third aunt looked at me and then looked at Vuong Tu Lan, her expression was very magical. The youngest girl came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of fruit and called out to me:
“Nhuoc An.”
I replied. More than twenty people came one after another. Ancestor worship rituals take place in the main house. Light incense. Burn votive paper. As I knelt before the spiritual throne, I raised my head to look at my grandfather's portrait. The old man in the photo smiled gently. I wonder if he knew under the golden stream that the Tham family has become like this now... What would he think. The ceremony ends. Start eating. Three round tables put together. Halfway through eating, Vuong Tu Lan opened his mouth first.
“The whole family is present today.”
“There is something I want to say in front of everyone.”
Everyone looked over at once.
"Everyone has probably heard of Nhuoc An's story."
"Tu Hien is really out there causing trouble, doing things that shouldn't be done."
“This I admit.”
“But after all, we are all family, even if we break bones, we still have tendons attached.”
"Now Tu Hien knows he is wrong, he is at home reflecting on himself every day."
"Nhuoc An and I are also discussing a solution."
“Nhuoc An has agreed to help the family…”
“When do I agree?”
The entire dining table immediately fell silent. Vuong Tu Lan's face stiffened.
“Nhuoc An, don't be in a hurry, auntie I said it the other day while eating..."
“The other day at my uncle's house.”
I interrupted directly.
"Uncle gave me a 'voluntary agreement to bear 3,000,000 yuan in debt', but I refused."
“After that, he scolded me for being ungrateful and told me not to step foot in the Tham family again in the future.”
“I recorded all those words.”
I looked at her.
“Do you want to listen?”
I didn't give her a chance to interfere.
“Around this time, someone posted an anonymous article defaming me in the designer world.”
“Someone called the landlord, said I owed money, and told them to evict me.”
“Those things… you did it, right?”
“Based on what do you say it's me?!”
“Because besides you…”
I calmly put down my chopsticks.
“No second person had a motive to do so.”
“Your goal is very simple.”
“Make your life a mess.”
“Forcing you to the end.”
"Then obediently take out the money and clean up the consequences for Tham Tu Hien."
Vuong Tu Lan slammed on the table.
“Tham Nhuoc An, you slander me!”
“In front of the whole family, you dare to make up something like that?!”
“So I won't make it up anymore.”
I opened my bag, took out my phone, and opened a folder.
“I speak the truth.”
"The first."
“Trieu Bang, customer manager of Hang Thai Credit, is also the person who directly processes loan applications for Tham Tu Hien…”
“A camera photo has been provided.”
