Chapter 3 — My Younger Brother Slagged My Daughter, I Recovered 800,000 Yuan of Money to Buy a House

What has to happen will happen. Come evening. The doorbell rang. Not a polite click. It's the kind of madness, all of a sudden, like it wants to pierce the doorbell. Chu Thanh stepped forward and looked through the god's eyes. He turned his head, raised his eyebrows at me, his expression as if he had expected it. I took a deep breath and stood up.

“Open the door.”

The door just opened. The face distorted by anger of my mother, Vuong Tu Lan, immediately appeared before my eyes. Standing behind her was Tran Hao with his face swollen like an over-steamed bun.

"Tran Tinh! You are truly ungrateful!"

“Quickly give me back the money!”

My mother was like a mad lioness, intending to cross Chu Thanh and rush straight into the house. But Chu Thanh's tall body is like a wall. Standing right in front of the door, not moving at all.

“If you have anything, say it outside.”

His voice was cold.

“Say something!”

“Tell him to pay me!”

“That's money to buy a house and get married for my son!”

My mother pointed straight at me. Fingers trembling with anger.

“Are you crazy?”

“800,000 yuan!”

“In just one day I transformed!”

“What do you intend to do?”

“Do you want to force your brother to death?”

I looked at her and calmly spoke.

“That's not mom's money.”

“It's my money.”

“What is the difference between my money and my money?”

“Isn't your money our family's money?”

“Isn't our family's money your brother's?”

She screamed with reason. This "everything that belongs to a girl is also a boy's" logic of robbery. She has used it all her life. Or I laugh it off. Or suffer silently. But today. I don't want to hold back anymore.

"Oh? Is that so?"

I gently asked back.

“So Chu Thanh's money is also our family's money?”

“Shouldn't I also give it all to my son?”

My mother choked. She glanced at Chu Thanh standing next to me with a cold face. The momentum immediately weakened by half.

“What...what are you talking about...”

“Chu Thanh is an outsider…”

“Outsiders?”

I laughed.

“Chu Thanh is my husband.”

“It's Du Du's father.”

“Being the breadwinner of this family.”

“What about Tran Hao?”

I looked towards Tran Hao hiding behind his mother.

“A thirty-year-old man who still has to rely on his sister and brother-in-law to make a living?”

“Still have to spend my parents' pension money?”

“You actually hit your four-year-old niece?”

My voice is not loud. But every sentence and every word was like a sharp knife piercing straight into Tran Hao's heart. His face was sometimes red, sometimes white. Want to argue. But just met Chu Thanh's cold eyes. Swallow all the words in my stomach again. Just dare to mumble:

“So what…”

“What if I hit it?”

“She is my niece.”

“Am I not allowed to hit?”

My mother immediately felt empowered.

“Did you hear that!”

“Hear that!”

“It said it too!”

"If you're a family member, what's the point of fighting?"

“To the point of having to withdraw all the money?”

“You are trying to cut off your brother's life!”

"If he doesn't have a house, how can he get married?"

"His girlfriend said, if he doesn't have a house, we'll break up!"

“Do you want your younger brother to never get married for the rest of his life?”

"You're my sister, why are you so cruel?"

She began to beat her thighs and cry loudly. The most familiar drama. It's also the thing I hated the most from childhood to adulthood. A few restaurants The surrounding neighbors opened their doors to watch the excitement. I don't want the bad things in the house to be exposed to this extent. I emphasized my voice.

"The first."

“The money is yours.”

“You can move whenever you want.”

“No need for anyone's consent.”

"Previously, I agreed to lend Tran Hao that money to buy a house because of sisterly love."

“But that feeling was ruined by him with a slap.”

“Tuesday…”

I looked straight into my mother's eyes. Every word is spoken clearly.

“From the moment he laid hands on my daughter…”

“He had to think about the consequences today.”

“House, let him think for himself.”

“Can't get married…”

“It was also because he brought it upon himself.”

I didn't look at her again. I turned to Chu Thanh.

"Close the door."

Chu Thanh nodded. Raise your hand to prepare to close the anti-theft door. My mother was frantic. Immediately use your body to block the door crack.

“Tran Tinh!”

“I can't do that!”

“Give the money back to mom!”

“If you don't pay, I won't go!”

“I will stay at your door!”

“Let everyone see how unfilial you are!”

She started to tantrum. Tran Hao also shouted:

“Pay me!”

“That money was originally mine!”

Look at the two faces in front of you. I just feel nauseous. I took out my phone. Prepare to call the police. Right at that moment. My mother suddenly blurted out a sentence.

“Have you forgotten, Tran Tinh?”

“It's your father's illness!”

My heart suddenly tightened. Those two words were like a heavy hammer hitting my heart. My father has heart disease. Just had coronary artery bypass surgery two years ago. The doctor told me again and again not to get excited. That's also the reason why such a big thing happened yesterday, but Chu Thanh and I both implicitly understood each other and didn't tell him. My mother looked at my instantly pale face. She knew she had grasped my weakness. The grumpy look on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by a cold, smug smile.

“If your younger brother doesn't get married…”

“If your father finds out about this and gets so worried that he gets sick…”

She didn't finish her sentence. But that unfinished curse sent chills down people's spines more than any other sentence.

"Do you dare to threaten me with my father's illness?"

My voice trembled.

“What threat?”

My mother put on an innocent face.

“I'm just reminding you.”

“People shouldn't work too hard.”

“Especially as a daughter, you must be filial.”

"I took the money out so my younger brother could get married smoothly and the whole family would be happy."

“Your father will naturally be healthy.”

"And if you keep holding on to the money, it will make the whole family fly away and the dogs will bark..."

“If your father knew…”

“What are the consequences, think for yourself.”

I stared at her. This is my biological mother. For my beloved son. She was willing to use her husband's health, even his life, as a bargaining chip. My cold hand was suddenly held by another hand. It's Chu Thanh. His hand was dry and warm. Give me a little more strength. He said softly.

“Dad's side already has you.”

When my mother heard it, she laughed contemptuously.

“An outsider speaks better than sings.”

“I tell you, Chu Thanh.”

“This is the story of our Tran family.”

“Stop meddling.”

Chu Thanh's face immediately darkened.

“Since Tran Hao attacked Du Du.”

“This is no longer a family matter.”

“It's violent behavior onion."

"Since the time you threatened my wife with my father-in-law's health."

“You no longer have the right to mention the word ‘family’.”

He took a step forward. The overwhelming atmosphere made the other person unconsciously step back.

“Money is earned by me and A Tinh.”

“We want to call it gratitude.”

“Not wanting to be our right.”

“We don't want to give anymore.”

“You two leave here immediately.”

“Otherwise I will report you to the police for harassment.”

“By the way…”

“I will also talk nicely to dad.”

“So you know what your good wife and good son have done.”

Chu Thanh's every word rang out strongly and sharply. My mother's expression immediately changed. What she feared most was that my father knew about it. Because in this family. My father is the only one who still speaks reason. Also the only person she is still somewhat wary of. Tran Hao was also panicked.

“Don't tell dad!”
