Chapter 10 — My Younger Brother Slagged My Daughter, I Recovered 800,000 Yuan of Money to Buy a House
“I just want you to see reality clearly.”
“That 800,000 yuan.”
“I absolutely will not give it.”
“Not even a penny.”
"So don't continue to put your hope in Tran Hao."
“Don't put your hope in that family anymore.”
“Now there are only two roads in front of me.”
I looked at her. Say each word slowly.
“The first path.”
“I continue to believe that he will grow up.”
“Believe that he will change.”
“You have to be mentally prepared to live with him in a homeless situation.”
“No stable income.”
“I even had to borrow from everywhere to live.”
“I also have to mentally prepare to raise my child alone.”
“Because it's very possible.”
“He will never be a qualified father.”
Tieu Nha bowed her head. Tears fell onto the table. I continue.
“The second path.”
“Stop at the right time.”
“You're still very young.”
“My life has just begun.”
“Don't be for a man who doesn't deserve it.”
“Don't make an irresponsible mistake.”
“But at the cost of my whole life.”
I was silent for a few seconds. Then continue talking.
“I know losing a life is a very painful thing.”
“But giving birth to the baby.”
“While we cannot give our children a good growing up environment.”
“Let me and my brother suffer.”
“Or later repeat the path of his own father.”
“That would be truly irresponsible.”
Those words are very heavy. But I had to wake her up. Tieu Nha put her head down on the table. Shoulders trembled violently. Suppressed cries rang out between the arms. I won't say any more. Just sit quietly and wait. Wait for her to make her own decision. A long time later. She slowly raised her head. Eyes as puffy as peaches. Hoarse voice.
“If you choose the second path…”
“So what should I do?”
Listen to that sentence. The rock in my heart was finally laid down. She heard and understood. I opened my bag. Take out a bank card. Push towards her.
“There are 50,000 yuan in here.”
“It has nothing to do with Tran Hao.”
“It also has nothing to do with your family.”
“This is just a little help from one woman to another woman in need.”
“You can use this money to take care of yourself.”
“Health treatment.”
“Or move to another place.”
“Start a new life again.”
“Password is six zeros.”
Tieu Nha stared at the card. Maybe she didn't expect it. The person who just said the cruelest words was the one who reached out to help me.
“I can't get…”
She kept waving her hands. I interrupted. The voice does not allow refusal.
“This is not alms.”
“It's an investment.”
“I invest in your future.”
“I hope you take this money.”
“Live your own life.”
“Rather than becoming a sacrifice for my useless little brother.”
I looked at her.
“Besides, I only have one request.”
“Leave him.”
“Definitely.”
"Completely."
“Don't contact anymore.”
“Can you do it?”
Tieu Nha looked at me. There were so many emotions in those eyes. Confused. And finally... Is determination. A moment later. She trembled and reached out to receive the card. Then stand up. Bow deeply in front of me.
“Thank you.”
Her voice choked.
“I know what I have to do.”
After Tieu Nha left, I returned to the car. Chu Thanh did not ask about our conversation. He just quietly gave me a bottle of water warm.
“Is everything okay?”
I leaned back in the chair. Exhale a long breath. I don't know if my approach is completely correct or not. I used an almost cruel method to interfere in another girl's life. But that's probably the most responsible outcome I can think of. And for the unborn baby. As for Tran Hao and my mother... A bigger storm is silently forming. Early the next morning. My mother called. This time she didn't scream. The voice was terrifyingly calm. It's the type of calm trying to suppress anger.
“Tran Tinh.”
“What did you say to Tieu Nha?”
“Yesterday he asked to break up with A Hao.”
“It also said…”
"He doesn't keep the baby anymore."
“Are you satisfied now?”
“You ruined your brother's family.”
“Are you happy?”
I didn't reply.
“Don't think that's the end!”
She continued.
“A Hao said it!”
"It's all because Tieu Nha didn't have money to buy a house that she left!"
“This debt.”
“My family will count on your head!”
