Chapter 11 — My Younger Brother Slagged My Daughter, I Recovered 800,000 Yuan of Money to Buy a House

“You won't give me the money, right?”

“So from today onwards.”

“Your father's medical expenses are yours alone to worry about!”

“You pay for electricity and water in the house!”

“You also have to pay for my old age pension with your father!”

“You're so good!”

“You have a lot of money!”

“I want to see how long you can last!”

She wanted to use financial pressure to retaliate against me. Want to force me to bow my head. Want me to become the obedient daughter who obeys orders like before.

"Okay."

I calmly replied.

“I agree.”

My mother was stunned. Maybe she didn't expect me to agree so quickly.

“Taking care of your parents is your legal duty.”

“I will not hide.”

“From this month onwards.”

“I will transfer your maintenance and medical expenses on time every month.”

“As for the specific amount…”

I stopped for a few seconds. Then read out a number.

“I will pay according to the city's minimum living allowance.”

My mother was so angry that she almost choked.

“Tran Tinh!”

“Are you giving alms to beggars?”

“The law requires that children must take care of their parents.”

“But don't stipulate that children must meet every unreasonable request.”

“Before, I gave more.”

“It's because of love.”

“Now I just do my duty.”

“If mother is not satisfied.”

“You can sue me in court.”

“By the way.”

“I also want to hear the judge's assessment.”

“A son beat his four-year-old granddaughter.”

“A mother uses her husband's life to threaten her daughter.”

“Do you deserve more or not?”

I didn't wait for her to finish. Hang up directly. The world immediately became quiet. I told Chu Thanh all this story. He just smiled.

“You did the right thing.”

“We can't keep filling that bottomless pit anymore.”

“It's time for them to learn to take responsibility for their own lives.”

That very day. I sought legal advice. The lawyer spoke very clearly. What I do is completely legal. As suggested by lawyer. I prepare a detailed support agreement. It clearly states: Monthly support amount. Payment method. Along with a plan to share costs if dad develops a serious illness in the future. Me and Tran Hao. Each person bears half. I printed two copies. A copy was sent to my parents' house. A self-preserved copy. The moment that agreement was sent. It's like throwing another bomb into the Tran family's gunpowder barrel. But I don't care anymore. There are wounds that have been festering for too long. Want to heal. Must cut off completely. Next week. Everything was surprisingly quiet. My mother stopped calling to bother me. Tran Hao also disappeared from the world. I transferred the first amount of support money as agreed to my mother's account. Not a penny missing. Not even a penny left over. I even felt unfamiliar with that quietness. The calm before the storm. Always makes people feel uneasy. Friday afternoon. I am working at a company. Suddenly I received a phone call from my father. His voice sounded extremely weak. Full of panic.

“A Tinh...”

“Go to the hospital quickly!”

“My little brother…”

“Something happened to your brother!”

My heart immediately sank.

“What's wrong with it, Dad?”

“He got into a fight with someone else…”

“I was beaten and hospitalized!”

“I'm in emergency now!”

My mind immediately went blank. Tran Hao can be mean. Can come in use. Could disappoint me countless times. But still... He's still my younger brother. Blood and flesh are sometimes such absurd things. I immediately resigned. Run to the hospital with Chu Thanh. In front of the emergency room door. We saw my mother. She sat on the couch. His expression was lost and lost. Messy hair. Absolutely no longer the usual aggressive and arrogant look. Just saw me. She immediately rushed forward. Like a drowning person who sees a piece of wood that saves his life.

“Hurry and save your brother!”

“The doctor said…”

“The doctor said it was seriously injured!”

“Must have surgery!”

“Need a lot of money!”

“My family has no money!”

“Quickly take out the 800,000 yuan!”

“Save my brother's life!”

She grabbed my arm tightly. Nails are almost deeply embedded in the skin. I looked at her. There was no wavering in my heart. It's money again. Round and round. In the end it's still money. I pushed her hand away. Coldly asked:

“Why does he fight with others?”

My mother's eyes immediately avoided. She hesitated for a long time.

“He... he just went out drinking with friends...”

“Drink too much…”

“And then... then arguing with people..."

“Arguing?”

I continued asking in a cold voice.

“What happens after that?”

“Then… fight…”

“Is it as simple as that?”

Chu Thanh standing next to him suddenly spoke. Cold voice.

"Everyone knows what Tran Hao's personality is."

“If it wasn't for him taking the initiative to cause trouble.”

“Will someone else beat him up like this?”

My mother was frightened by Chu Thanh's aura. Finally, I didn't dare hide it anymore.

“It's because of Tieu Nha's matter…”

“Tieu Nha broke up with him.”
