Chapter 13 — On Doan Ngo Day, They Forced Me to Give Up My House to My Younger Brother

Updated 10/08/2026 4 min read

There is rice cake on the table. There are salted duck eggs. And also the plate of pork belly that I liked the most when I was a child. But every time it was picked up in Lam Dieu's bowl. I took a quick look.

“Don't eat.”

Her tears fell again.

“Even at a meal, you still refuse to eat with me?”

I looked at her. Very light voice.

“I've eaten too many leftover meals.”

She stood frozen in place. Couldn't say a word. I turned around and walked out of the old house. Her cousin chased after her.

“You are really good.”

I shook my head.

“I just took back what belonged to me.”

She asked:

“What about your parents?”

“I will still do my duty to serve.”

“But other than that obligation, I don't have a penny.”

Cousin nodded.

“That's the best.”

At that moment, the phone rang. It's a message from Hua Tri Hanh.

"Tomorrow there will be a brand cooperation negotiation at Nam Lane Banh U shop."

“Can you come along?”

I replied: The next day. Banh u shop on South alley. As soon as they saw me, the shop owner and his wife immediately came out to greet me. The landlady put the contract on the table.

“We thought for a long time last night.”

“We decided not to buy the store anymore.”

“Continue to rent.”

“Rent will be paid at market price.”

The boss also added:

“We also want to cooperate with your brand to make a Doan Ngo gift set.”

Hua Tri Hanh looked at me.

“Your plan can be implemented.”

I nodded.

“So let's start from here.”

The hostess was a bit embarrassed.

“And there's the matter of the deposit.”

“We will find your parents and get it back ourselves.”

“Not to make things difficult for you.”

I smiled. The exchange is going very smoothly. Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out outside the door.

“This store belongs to my family.”

“Who let you talk to her?”

Lam Dieu walked in. There are two friends behind. Obviously coming to put pressure. The shop owner's couple's faces immediately became unsightly.

“Ownership of the store has been confirmed.”

But Lam Dieu didn't listen at all.

“My parents took your deposit.”

“So this store is still related to my house.”

I looked at him.

“The agreement was signed yesterday.”

He laughed.

“It's just a piece of paper.”

Hua Tri Hanh stood up.

“You are hindering our business and trade negotiations.”

Lam Dieu looked at him from top to bottom.

“It's you again.”

“Protect her so actively.”

“Isn't there really something there?”

I put down the pen.

“Lin Dieu.”

“Are you addicted to making things up?”

He turned to the customers in the bar.

“Everyone look!”

“My sister robbed the family store.”

“Even led the company leaders to oppress family members.”

The guests began to look over. The shopkeeper couldn't bear it anymore.

“Don't talk nonsense.”

“The store originally belonged to Ms. Lam.”

Lam Dieu glared.

“You guys took the deposit from my house.”

“Now you turn to defend her?”

The boss was also angry.

“The deposit was tricked into giving us by your parents.”

“If you want to cause trouble, go find them.”

A friend of Lam Dieu stood next to him.

“Mr. Dieu.”

“Don't talk too much to them.”

“She's so rich.”

“Tell her to compensate.”

I took out my phone.

“Lawyer Trinh.”

“Someone is disrupting business operations at the South Lane store.”

Lam Dieu immediately put his hands firmly on the table. Aggressive eyes look at me.

“You really want to push me into a corner, don't you?”

I raised my head to look at him.

“I'm just returning you to your rightful place.”

“Besides calling a lawyer, what else can you do?”

I looked at him.

“I still know how to make money.”

Someone in the shop immediately burst into laughter. Hua Tri Hanh stood next to him and added:

“I still know how to get promoted.”

The shop owner also laughed.

“I still know how to make a business plan.”

“Our store's Doan Ngo gift set this year is all thanks to Ms. Lam.”

Lam Dieu's face darkened.

“You're all on her side, right?”

“Because I know how to reason.”

His friend standing next to him gently pulled his hand.

“Brother Dieu, stop it.”

“There are too many people there.”

But Lam Dieu is still not willing.

“Stop what?”

“It took away the store, how will I live in the future?”

I ask again:

“In the future, why do you have to rely on my store?”

Lam Dieu immediately choked up. The shop owner shook his head.

“Young people should find a decent job.”

Laughter rang out in the shop again. Lam Dieu couldn't stand it anymore. Suddenly he swung his hand and knocked the entire sample gift box on the table to the ground. Dumplings fell all over the floor. The shop owner panicked.

“What are you doing?”

I bent down to pick up the gift box. Hua Tri Hanh stepped up to block Lam Dieu's face.

“And compensation.”

Lam Dieu raised his head.

“I do not compensate.”

At that moment, To Man's voice was heard outside the door.

“Lin Dieu, you really haven't changed at all.”
