Chapter 8 — My Restaurant Is Not Free

“But that's the house your father left us.”
"If you can't pay this money, our whole family will have no place to live."
Chu Hao said without thinking:
“How can you not pay?”
"I guarantee that from tomorrow I will seriously work and try to pay off the money as soon as possible."
Without waiting for his mother-in-law to answer, Chu Hao immediately looked at Ly Hung and asked:
"I don't have money, but my family still has a house in my mother's name, the value is not low. Can it be used as mortgage?"
Ly Hung nodded:
“Maybe.”
"But your mother must sign a mortgage agreement, write a loan note and repay it on time. Otherwise, I have the right to repossess your house."
Chu Hao immediately became excited and turned to look at his mother-in-law:
“Mom, have you heard?”
“As long as Mom signs, we can leave here.”
The mother-in-law thought for a long time, then finally nodded:
“Okay, mom, sign.”
“Hao Hao, you must remember to pay.”
“Otherwise, our whole family will have to wander on the streets.”
Chu Hao looked impatient:
“Rest assured, rest assured.”
“Would you harm your own family members?”
Ly Hung ordered someone to bring pen and paper, a mortgage agreement form and debt papers, and pushed them in front of Chu Hao and his mother-in-law:
"Read the content carefully first. If there are no problems, sign and fingerprint."
Chu Hao took the agreement and turned it over and over again several times. The mother-in-law also leaned in to watch, constantly muttering:
“Is this interest rate too high?”
Ly Hung explains:
“Interest rates are calculated according to state regulations and are not high.”
"If you pay on time, you only need to pay the principal and normal interest. If it is overdue, the penalty for violating the contract will double."
Chu Minh Vien was about to say something, but Chu Hao couldn't wait and urged his mother-in-law to sign and point. After resolving the incident, Ly Hung did not continue to stop people. The relatives and friends invited by Chu Hao immediately ran out of the restaurant as if they were fleeing. Captain Ngo also gave Chu Hao a few words, telling him to learn from experience and then led his people to leave. The restaurant was finally quiet again. As soon as Captain Ngo and the others left, my mother-in-law pointed at me and scolded:
"Tham Van Ninh, you dark hearted thing! This time you really hurt us!"
"Don't forget that you and Minh Vien are still husband and wife. If we can't live peacefully, don't expect good days!"
Chu Hao also followed:
“Not wrong.”
“This time, our whole family is in huge debt because of you.”
“From now on, as long as I'm still in this family, don't expect to live in peace!”
I took out the set of documents I had prepared in advance from my bag and threw them down in front of them:
“Don't worry, there will be nothing between you and me in the future.”
Chu Minh Vien picked up the paperwork. When he saw the four words "Divorce Agreement" on it, his face immediately turned pale:
“Van Ninh, you… Do you want to divorce me?”
“What if not?”
I glanced at my mother-in-law and Chu Hao and said coldly:
“If I continue to be with you, can I still live good days?”
As soon as she heard about divorce, her mother-in-law immediately became impatient:
“If you harm our family like this, you still want a divorce?”
“Don't even try!”
"I tell you, our whole family was dragged into the water by you. You must help us pay this debt. Otherwise, we have I have to drag you to the end too!”
Chu Hao also rolled up his sleeves and said fiercely:
“That's right, Tham Van Ninh. This four hundred thousand yuan debt arose because of you, you must pay it together with us.”
“Do you want a divorce to erase the relationship? There is no door!”
Of course I could see that the reason the two of them dared to use the house as collateral just now was because they planned to force me to repay the debt. It's just a pity that they miscalculated. Chu Minh Vien tightened the divorce agreement, his eyes filled with unwillingness:
“Van Ninh, after all, we have had a relationship for three years. Do you really have the heart to divorce me?”
I looked at him and suddenly felt both physically and mentally extremely tired.
“Chu Minh Vien, Chu Hao continuously eats in the restaurant, you told me to hold back.”
“Your mother causes trouble for me everywhere, you tell me to give in.”
"Since Chu Hao slapped me three times in front of everyone while you pretended to be deaf and mute, our relationship has ended."
I stopped, my eyes glanced at the three of them, then continued:
“Also, this debt of four hundred thousand yuan has nothing to do with me.”
“The restaurant has been legally transferred to owner Ly. Chu Hao voluntarily consumed it after the transfer was completed. All receipts and cameras can be proven. This amount of money must of course be his own responsibility.”
“Chu Minh Vien, if you agree, sign it and we will go to the Civil Affairs Department to complete the procedures.”
“If you do not agree, we will resolve it by law. I believe the court will give me a fair verdict.”
As soon as she heard about the lawsuit, her mother-in-law immediately panicked:
“Don't threaten us with lawsuits!”
