Chapter 2 — My Mother Stole 80,000,000 Yuan, And My Boyfriend Shows His True Form

Truong Thac's father, Truong Kien Quoc, does not talk much. He sat on the sofa smoking. Cigarette ash fell on his pants, he conveniently brushed it away.

"Getting married is a big deal. My family's bride price is only 88,000 yuan at most. Tieu Hoa's family's conditions are so good, I probably don't care about this."

"I don't care."

Vuong Que Phan immediately continued:

"What about the dowry? I don't want to take anything from your family. It's just that the couple will live more comfortably in the future. Aren't you in the name of a few buildings? After clearing the house, change to a slightly bigger house, write both of your names on it, and life will be stable."

Truong Thac put down his chopsticks. Vuong Que Phan glared at him.

"Are you wrong? I'm your son, so what's wrong with you calculating for me?"

At that time, I looked at Truong Thac. He didn't look at me. Just bow your head to pick up the food. After picking it up, a piece of vegetable fell back onto the plate. That night when I got home, my mother asked me:

"Is the meal at Truong's house delicious?"

Mom sat on a small chair in front of the door peeling soybeans, her head not even raised.

"You can also drink more water with salty dishes."

"But if a person's heart is salty, then anything he drinks is useless."

At that time, I even criticized her for speaking in a difficult way. Now looking at the commitment in front of me, I understand. It's not that she's hard of hearing. But she had heard too many abacus sounds.

"Mom, have you investigated anything?"

Mom put on her glasses and slowly turned the pages of the document.

"It doesn't matter whether there's an investigation or not."

"The important thing is whether you dare to sign or not."

"Mom took all my money, how can I register my marriage tomorrow?"

"Didn't you always say that Truong Thac loves you for who you are?"

I was silenced by her. She raised her head to look at me.

"Lin Tieu Hoa, you are twenty-eight years old, not eighteen."

"When a man says he loves his child, his words don't cost money."

"Tell him to bear 2,000,000 yuan of debt with you, then you will know how much he loves you."

I sat on the sofa, picked up the commitment and read it. The content is written extremely decisively. I voluntarily transferred all compensation money for clearance from the three buildings in Nam Kieu village in my name to Tran Phuong Lan. From now on there are no longer any related rights or requirements. At the same time, I confirm that the debt of 2,000,000 yuan in Tran Phuong Lan's name will be personally responsible for payment, completely unrelated to Tran Phuong Lan.

"If you really sign this, you will have nothing left."

"If Truong Thac knew about this, what would he think?"

"Tomorrow you'll see for yourself and you'll know."

I looked at her. Suddenly I saw that the woman in front of me was extremely strange.

"Aren't you afraid he really doesn't need me anymore?"

Mom closed the file and took a sip of tea from the enamel cup.

"It doesn't need you just because you don't have money, then you can save your whole life."

"If you don't dare try because you're afraid he'll leave you, then I'm really raising you in vain."

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Tieu Hoa, are you home?"

It's Truong Thac. Mom glanced at the door.

"It came really quickly."

I quickly stuffed the file under the coffee table and went to open the door. Truong Thac stood outside. In his hand he carried a box of bird's nests.

"I'll give it to my aunt."

"The marriage registration is tomorrow, I want to visit tonight."

When entering the house, his eyes naturally glanced over the table tea. Mom laughed.

"Truong Thac, you came at the right time."

"Auntie has something to tell you."

I reflexively stood in front of the tea table. She paid no attention to me. Directly pulled out the file and placed it firmly in front of Truong Thac.

"Before registering the marriage tomorrow, Tieu Hoa will sign this."

"You should watch it too, to avoid later being told that we, the Tran family, cheated on our marriage."

Truong Thac bowed his head and read the first two lines. The smile on his face immediately disappeared.

"Aunt, what is this?"

"It means that the money in Tieu Hoa's name will belong to me."

"As for debt, it belongs to him."

"When he marries me, he won't have any compensation money on him."

"Only have a debt of 2,000,000 yuan."

Truong Thac said nothing. At that moment, Vuong Que Phan's phone call came. He glanced at the screen then turned it off. Mom stared at him.

"Why don't you answer the phone?"

"Let your mother listen to it together."

Truong Thac put down the file, his voice still calm.

"Auntie, such a big deal..."

"Does Tieu Hoa know?"

He turned his head to look at me.

"Tieu Hoa, do you agree?"

I didn't answer right away. Mom answered for me.

"If she doesn't agree, she has to agree. My daughter, I decide."

Truong Thac put his hand in his pocket, took out the cigarette pack, then remembered that my house did not allow smoking, so he put it back.

"Auntie, it's not very appropriate for you to do that."

"Where is it inappropriate?"

"That is Tieu Hoa's property."

"Didn't you say you love him for who he is?"

Truong Thac looked at my mother and didn't respond for a long time. Mom picked up the pen and gave it to me. I looked at Truong Thac. Finally he spoke:

"Tieu Hoa, don't sign yet. Tomorrow we will register our marriage, we can still discuss anything."

Mom snorted and laughed.

"Discuss what?"

"Discussing how your family divides his money?"
