Chapter 6 — My Husband Wants AA, I'm Thinking About Divorce

Seeing Tran Khai Chu holding my wrist. She immediately rushed forward. Use your strength to push me hard. My back hit the corner of the cabinet. Dull pain spreads throughout the spine. Tran Khai Chu let go of the situation.

"It's a betrayal! It's a betrayal!"

Ms. Luu Que Phuong stood in front of her son. The finger was almost pointed straight at my face.

"After hitting someone, you still don't kneel down and apologize? What kind of person are you? If you don't know how to have a child, then stop it, and still dare to move your hands and feet? It's eight generations of bad luck for my son to marry you!"

Tran Quoc Dong stood at the office door. Didn't move at all. His face was heavy. Eyes looking at me. But don't say a single word of help. Tran Vu Vy poked her head out from the side room.

"Sister-in-law, you're really too much. Hitting people is illegal, you know?"

I lowered my head and looked at my wrist. A red streak is clearly visible. Then look up. Look at each person in that family. Mrs. Luu Que Phuong always protects her son. Tran Vu Vy followed each sentence. Tran Quoc Dong stood silently on the same front line. And also Tran Khai Chu. He stood behind his mother. Gasp. Don't look at me. Didn't stop my mother from pushing me. Not a fair word to say. Like the day my mother was in the emergency room. He did nothing. Just like the day we brought our family to live. He takes everything for granted. And just like now. He watched me being pushed down. But not moved at all. I stood up straight. Use the back of your hand to wipe your tears.

“Tran Khai Chu, let's divorce.”

The air suddenly froze. Tran Khai Chu's face turned from pale to completely blank.

“What did you say?”

I repeat every word.

"I will move tomorrow. The lawyer will contact you."

“What right do you have to ask for a divorce?”

He took a step forward.

"The one who is wrong is you. Beating people, not respecting your parents-in-law, not fulfilling your duties as a wife. What qualifications do you have?"

Ms. Luu Que Phuong immediately continued:

"That's right! Even if you get divorced, you'll have to leave empty-handed! This house belongs to our family!"

I turned my head to look at her.

“My parents paid the deposit of 550,000 yuan to buy a house.”

“I will pay for the 120,000 yuan interior renovation.”

"I still have all the transfer documents. Do you need me to read each one to you?"

Her mouth opened. But couldn't say a word. Tran Quoc Dong spoke up for the first time. The tone of an elder teaching his children.

"Nien So, the couple argued at the beginning of the bed and made up at the end of the bed. I apologize to Khai Chu, this matter can be ignored. Live well in the future."

I laughed.

“He falsely accused me of relying on other men for money.”

“Who will apologize to me?”

“I was just angry so I said that!”

Tran Khai Chu hastily defended.

“Just words when angry.”

“Words when angry?”

I looked straight into his eyes.

“The words you say are all true in your heart.”

“You feel like I'm taking advantage of you.”

“Feeling that all my sacrifices were not worth a dime.”

“Feel like I should unconditionally serve your entire family.”

“The AA regime is just an excuse.”

“From beginning to end, you never considered me an equal.”

“I don't.”

I interrupted him.

“Since the day you suggested AA, I should have seen clearly.”

“But I still retain a glimmer of hope.”

“I think maybe you're just clumsy.”

“But not evil.”

I Take a deep breath. Looking at the man who had slept with me for four years. First time. Look clearly.

“Now I know.”

I looked at him.

“You're not just clumsy.”

Having finished speaking, I turned around and walked into the bedroom, pulling out my suitcase. Tran Khai Chu immediately followed. Close the door.

“Nien So, calm down.”

His voice became urgent.

"Four years of love. Are you really leaving?"

“It's you who are cruel.”

I opened the closet and started taking things out.

“When my mother was in the hospital, do you remember the four years of love?”

“Do you remember when you slandered me?”

He opened his mouth. But couldn't say anything. I continued to pack clothes into the suitcase.

“In everything, I choose myself.”

“Choose your selfish logic.”

“Now, I also choose myself.”

Outside the door, Ms. Luu Que Phuong was banging on the door loudly.

“Just leave it!”

“Why keep such a daughter-in-law!”

“But don't let it take away a single needle or thread!”

“This house belongs to our family!”

Tran Khai Chu's face was sometimes red and sometimes white. Finally, the remaining bit of intention to hold on disappeared.

“Okay, Lam Niem So.”

“You want a divorce, right?”
