Chapter 4 — My Mother Stole 80,000,000 Yuan, And My Boyfriend Shows His True Form

Truong Thac hung up the phone. My mother leaned back in her chair. His eyes were as cold as a machete blade.

"The future mother-in-law is in really good spirits."

Truong Thac took a deep breath.

"Tieu Hoa, your mother speaks frankly."

"Don't take it to heart."

I looked at him.

"What about you?"

"Do you think I'm a debtor too?"

He immediately replied:

"I don't have it."

"So will you sign?"

He holds the pen. But it still didn't come down for a long time. I saw his thumb continuously rubbing back and forth on the pen body. Pressed so hard that the black pen made a creaking sound. He put the pen back on the table.

"Tieu Hoa."

"We all need to calm down."

"Temporarily do not register your marriage today."

My mother immediately stood up.

"Go out the door and turn right."

"Go slowly, don't send off."

I didn't move. Truong Thac looked at me. There was a hint of blame in his eyes.

"Don't you have a single word that you want to keep me?"

"If you leave just because I don't have money."

"Then what are you keeping me for?"

His face was red.

"Do I have to say such absolute love?"

My mother opened my file to the signature page.

"Lam Tieu Hoa."

I looked at Truong Thac. Then slowly write down your name. Lam Tieu Hoa. The last stroke of the pen has just been completed. Truong Thac turned around and left. At the door, he stopped for a moment.

"Tieu Hoa."

"I hope you won't regret it later."

My mother immediately said from behind:

"You should keep that sentence to yourself."

The moment the seal of the notary office was stamped. My phone vibrates continuously. Truong Thac pulled me into a group of relatives. The group's name is: The Truong and Lam Families, A Close Family. The first message in the group was a recording sent by Vuong Que Phan. The first recording of Vuong Que Phan rang out in the group:

"Everyone in the family should watch."

"Lin Tieu Hoa's mother stole 80,000,000 yuan and also gave him a debt of 2,000,000 yuan."

"Our Truong family will no longer have this marriage."

"Whoever wants to get married should get married."

Immediately afterwards, Truong Thac sent a text message:

"Sorry to announce, Lam Tieu Hoa and I have canceled our marriage registration."

"The reason is inconvenient to explain clearly."

"I can only say that marriage requires sincerity, not deception."

Mom held out her hand.

"Give the phone to mom."

I gave her the phone. She looked it over twice and then returned it.

"Don't leave the group."

"Why?"

Mom put the notarized paper in her bag.

"The louder the dog barks..."

"...the more it hurts when you get hit."

The news of the Truong family's annulment spread faster than the announcement of dissolution. My mother and I just returned from the notary office to Nam Kieu village. Just arriving at the beginning of the alley, the girl selling rice rolls called out through the hot steam.

"Xiao He, do you really owe 2,000,000 yuan?"

Mom put the vegetable basket on the counter.

"Are your ears that busy?"

"Are the steamed rolls cooked yet?"

She smiled shyly.

"I just listen to what people say."

The tenants in the alley also poked their heads to look at me. A girl who had just moved in not long ago quietly asked the person next to her:

"Isn't she the daughter of the landlord?"

"Why are you in debt?"

A middle-aged man next to him bit a melon seed and replied:

"Rich people sometimes overturn their boat."

"Her mother is famous for being stingy."

"Even biological daughters are brought to harm."

My mother suddenly turned her head.

"Old Tran Tam."

"You still owe me 26.5 yuan for water bill last month."

"You're so free to talk today, do you have any money with you?"

The man immediately stuffed the melon seed shells into his pocket.

"I... I'll go get it right away."

I followed my mother into the building.

"Mom, the Truong family has made a big deal out of it."

"Let them do it."

"Aren't you afraid that people will scold you?"

She took the key and opened the door.

"People scold me a lot."

"Do they pay the electricity bill for mom?"

Not long after sitting down, Aunt Hai rushed into the house. She wore her pajamas and ran until she lost one of her slippers. As soon as I walked in, I pointed straight at my mother.

"Tran Phuong Lan, are you crazy?"

"It was very difficult for me to introduce Tieu Hoa to a good person."

"At the last minute, you took all his money and forced him to bear the debt."

"Do you want her to never get married for the rest of her life?"

Mom put her bag on the table.

"If you can't get married, then raise them at home."

Second Aunt slapped her thigh hard.

"You sound so gentle!"

"Who else can a woman over thirty choose?"

"Truong Thac is so good."

"Stable job, decent appearance."

"Look back at what you did."

"Forcing people to run away."

I spoke up:

"Second Aunt, it's him who refused to sign the agreement."

Aunt turned to scold me.

"Are you still defending your mother?"

"The debt is 2,000,000 yuan."

"Which family dares to marry?"

"Your mother will sell you, and you will help her count the money."
