Chapter 7 — My Restaurant Is Not Free

"Now, what's the problem with asking everyone to contribute a little money to help me solve the immediate difficulties?"
Everyone replied without hesitation:
“The food was offered to us by you, there is no reason to make us pay.”
"At most, we only agree to return the packaged items. Whether we can use them to offset debt or not is of no concern to us."
"That's right, I can't spend a penny anyway. Not being able to pay is your problem, don't try to blame it on me."
Ly Hung looked at the packaged items in everyone's hands and coldly said to Chu Hao:
“Lobsters and hairy crabs have been cooked and cannot be returned.”
“And the bottles of Maotai can be returned at full price.”
“But at least you still have a debt of four hundred thousand yuan.”
“Give it back quickly.”
Chu Hao was desperate, his face extremely pale. Right after that, his eyes rolled around and suddenly looked at me as if he had just grasped a life-saving straw, squeezing my arm:
“Tham Van Ninh, don't stand there and watch the excitement!”
"This restaurant has just been transferred by you. You must have received a lot of transfer money. You can use that money to help me pay the four hundred thousand yuan first."
I pushed his hand away and took a step back:
"Should I pay instead? Based on what?"
“Based on the fact that you are the daughter-in-law of the Chu family!”
The stiff-necked mother-in-law shouted:
“Hao Hao is your brother-in-law, he is your family.”
"A family member is in trouble. If you don't help, who will?"
“Are they from the same family?”
I laughed:
“When he publicly slapped me three times, why didn't you say we were family?”
The mother-in-law could not answer, so she simply sat down on the ground and began to cry and complain:
“I don't care.”
"Today you must help us pay this money. Otherwise, I will stay here and not go anywhere."
I casually shrugged:
“It's up to you.”
"Anyway, the current restaurant belongs to boss Ly. If you stay here, he won't spoil you."
Ly Hung spoke at the right moment, his voice cold:
"Miss Tham is right. Either pay the money, or write a debt note. If you continue to cause trouble, I guarantee you will suffer the consequences."
Chu Hao was so angry that his eyes turned red, he pointed at me and scolded:
"Tham Van Ninh, you cruel woman! Do you really want to be so heartless, watching me being forced to the limit?"
I feel extremely ridiculous:
“Am I in love?”
“Chu Hao, all of this is your fault.”
“I transferred the restaurant because I don't want to continue to have your blood sucked.”
“Do you think I can still help you clean up the aftermath?”
Seeing that I had no intention of giving in, Chu Minh Vien gently pulled the corner of my shirt, his voice carrying a pleading tone:
"Van Ninh, please help my brother this time. Four hundred thousand yuan is too much, my family really can't get it out."
I pushed his hand away and said coldly:
"Chu Minh Vien, I have helped him enough. What do I get in return?"
“It was the three slaps he publicly slapped me with.”
"It's your whole family that joined together to insult and scold me."
"You guys brought people to eat everything in the restaurant. I wish I could force you to die."
“Tell me, things have come to this point, why should I help him?”
Seeing that I was determined not to help, Chu Hao immediately got mad. He rolled up his sleeves, intending to rush back my side:
"You damn woman, you give face without knowing anything! I will definitely beat you to death today!"
“Stop!”
Captain Ngo shouted loudly and quickly stepped up to stop Chu Hao:
“You still dare to act right in front of us?”
“You think it's too comfortable outside. Do you want to come inside and sit for a while?”
Suppressed by Captain Ngo's aura, Chu Hao stiffened in place but his mouth remained unconvinced, muttering:
“She cost us five hundred thousand yuan, what if I beat her?”
Captain Ngo frowned:
"The camera and the order receipt are all still there. It was you who ordered the food, it was you who ordered the wine to be served, the black and white paper is clear, do you still blame others?"
"Furthermore, the camera recorded it very clearly. When you ordered, people even kindly mentioned that the things you ordered were expensive. It was you who insisted on the request, and now you want to pay off the debt?"
“I tell you, this is completely your fault.”
"You pay the money quickly. Otherwise, it will be considered deliberately delaying the debt. At that time, not only will you have to pay the money, but you will also have to pay court fees and fines for breach of contract. If the circumstances are serious, you may even be detained."
As soon as her mother-in-law heard that she might be detained, she was so scared that her face turned pale. She immediately pulled Chu Hao's hand and cried:
"Hao Hao, stop being stubborn. Let's pay, absolutely don't get caught inside!"
Chu Hao shook his mother-in-law's hand away, his face pale:
"Pay, pay! Where did you get the money?"
“If you have money, do you still need to stand here and argue with them?”
Speaking of this, an idea suddenly flashed in Chu Hao's mind. He turned to look at his mother-in-law:
“Mom, isn't the house we live in in your name?”
"Or mom can temporarily mortgage the house for them, then we can slowly repay the debt."
Mother-in-law frowned, full of hesitation:
