Chapter 6
Chapter 6 — My Younger Brother Slagged My Daughter, I Recovered 800,000 Yuan of Money to Buy a House
He looked at me. Every sentence and every word is strong and decisive.
“We do not compromise.”
"Uncompromising."
“We didn't come back to admit we were wrong.”
“But to declare war.”
Look at those determined eyes. In my heart, a spark once again flared up that was about to extinguish. I won't back down anymore. Then go. Go to that place called family. To end it all. We sent Du Du to Aunt Vuong downstairs to look after her. She is a neighbor who has known her for many years and loves her very much. Before leaving, Chu Thanh squatted down and gently rubbed Du Du's cheek.
“Du Du, your parents are going out to take care of something.”
“I'll be back soon.”
“Be good at home, listen to Mrs. Vuong.”
Du Du obediently nodded.
“Are your parents looking for an ugly boy?”
My nose suddenly stings. Chu Thanh smiled.
"That's right."
“Mom and Dad, go tell him.”
“The person who bullied the little princess will have to be punished.”
Then we drove to my parents' house. All the way. I didn't say a word. In my head, I constantly calculate possible situations. And how to deal with each situation. That feeling... It's not like returning home. It's like entering a battlefield. My parents' house is still the same. Nothing has changed. My mother sat at one end of the sofa. Both eyes are swollen and red. She looks exactly like a woman who has suffered all kinds of injustice. Tran Hao sat at the other end. Head down. Can't see the expression clearly. But that look of boredom and frustration can still be felt even from a dozen meters away. My father sat in the single chair in the middle. His face turned yellow. Lips are white. Like a statue about to be eroded by time. On the tea table there is a plate of fruit. But no one touched it. The air in the living room was so heavy that it made people suffocate. This is what is called:
“Everyone sat down and talked kindly.”
Which my father said. A Hong Mon feast was prepared specifically for me. A public trial for me. As soon as Chu Thanh and I walked in. Three pairs of eyes looked over simultaneously. My mother's eyes were filled with resentment. Tran Hao's eyes were avoiding. As for my father's eyes... It's complicated.
“You're back.”
My father tried to push himself to stand up.
“Dad, please sit down.”
Chu Thanh immediately stepped forward to help him.
“Dad's health is not good, don't stand up.”
Chu Thanh's appearance was clearly beyond my mother's expectations. She was stunned for a moment. Then immediately opened fire.
“What are you doing here?”
“This is the matter of our Tran family!”
“What right does an outsider like you have to stand here?”
Chu Thanh was too lazy to even look at her. He just quietly pulled two dining chairs to place them next to my father's chair. One for me. One for yourself. Finished sitting down. He looked at my father. Calmly said:
“A Tinh is my wife and children.”
“Her story is my story.”
“The person Tran Hao beat was my daughter.”
“So in this matter, you are more qualified than anyone.”
A statement that is not arrogant. Don't be humble. But it immediately made my mother choke. My father sighed.
"Alright."
“Each person has one less sentence.”
“It was wrong for my brother to hit Du Du.”
"I'll apologize to you and Du Du on his behalf."
He really intended to bow his head. I quickly caught him.
“Dad, don't be like that.”
“It's not Dad who should apologize.”
I looked at Tran Hao. He still bowed his head. Continue pretending to be dead.
“Tran Hao!”
Tone My father became serious.
“Quickly apologize to your sister and Du Du!”
Tran Hao reluctantly raised his head. Muttering an incoherent sentence.
"... Sorry."
That attitude. There is no half sincerity. My mother immediately responded.
“Look!”
“A Hao has already apologized!”
“It was just temporary anger!”
“As a sister and brother-in-law, can't you be a little more generous?”
Thirty year old kid? I almost burst out laughing because I was angry.
"Generosity?"
Chu Thanh smiled coldly.
“If yesterday the one who took action was you.”
“Slap Tran Hao.”
“Did mom tell you to be generous?”
My mother immediately became speechless. My father saw this and quickly reconciled.
“Okay, okay.”
“This matter is over.”
"We're all one family, don't mention it again."
“The most important thing right now is your brother's marriage.”
In the end, it still comes back to money.
“Maybe dad doesn't know yet.”
“Tieu Nha, A Hao's girlfriend... is pregnant.”
