Chapter 11 — Reclaiming the Future

Inside, in addition to my photo, there was also a voicemail my father sent to the other person. Mom opened it. Dad's voice came from the phone. “It's just a girl.” “A high score is also training people for other families.” “First let him work for two years, help his family overcome the immediate difficulties and then figure it out.” The living room was as silent as ice. Dad's face slowly turned gray. I looked at him, the thread in my heart finally broke. It turns out that some words were not my misunderstanding. He really thinks of me like that. Mom turned off the phone screen. She neither argued nor scolded. She just looked at dad. “Ly Hoai Nhan.” "From today, you no longer need to control Nam Chi's life." “You don't need to control my life anymore.” Dad's throat moved. “What do you mean?” Before Mom answered, the sound of high heels could be heard outside the door. A woman with short hair walked in carrying a briefcase. She looked at my mother. “Ngoc Hoa.” “I'm here.” “Who wants to talk about houses, debts, forged signatures and marital assets?” 12 After lawyer La entered, the atmosphere in the living room immediately changed. She did not raise her voice. Also don't show a threatening appearance. But when she placed her briefcase next to the tea table, the noisy people in the room unconsciously shut up. My mother pointed to the sofa. “I'm sorry.” Lawyer La nodded and looked at everyone. “First of all, let me make it clear.” “I only accepted Ms. Manh Ngoc Hoa's mandate to assist her in arranging civil disputes and family property issues.” “Whoever wants to continue arguing should go outside and argue.” “Whoever wants to talk should tell the truth.” Ha Man's mother is still speechless. “Are lawyers that terrible?” “My Man Man is pregnant, you guys still want to bully her?” Lawyer La looked at Ha Man. “M.“Pregnant women need care.” “But being a student doesn't mean you can intimidate others into quitting school.” “That doesn't mean you can claim real estate that doesn't belong to you.” "It doesn't mean you don't need to repay the loan." Ha Man's face was sometimes blue and sometimes white. Phung Van immediately brought over the transfer history. “This is the money she borrowed from me.” “Today I just want to receive a commitment to repay the debt.” Lawyer La took it and glanced through it. “The amount is clear.” “The chat history is also clear.” “If she acknowledges the loan, she can sign a repayment plan.” “If you don't admit it, you can use legal means to pursue it.” Ha Man was so flustered that her eyes turned red. “I'm not saying don't pay.” “I just don't have it now.” Phung Van asked. “What about necklaces and handbags?” “Can I use it first to make up for some of it?” Ha Man instinctively covered her neck. “This is my stuff.” My mother said calmly. “The necklace you're wearing was purchased with my card.” “I haven't agreed to give it to you yet.” Ha Man's mother immediately shouted. “The daughter-in-law is pregnant, what if the mother-in-law buys a necklace?” Lawyer La raised his eyes. “Giving requires an expression of will.” "If the payer clearly determines that he does not recognize the donation, and the payment is not authorized, he can indeed request a refund or conversion into money." Ha Man's mother was speechless. Dad's face was very unsightly. “Lawyer La, don't say such absolute things.” "Ngoc Hoa and I are husband and wife, her money is also the family's money." Lawyer La turned to him. “Shared living expenses between husband and wife and large unnecessary expenses are two different things.” "In particular, this money was used to buy jewelry, but there was an act of concealment." “How responsibility is allocated depends on the source of money and authorization status.” Mom took out a few statements from her file bag. “The money in this main account comes from the rent from my pre-marital shop.” “Over the years I have always managed myself.” Lawyer La took a look. “So it's even clearer.” Dad's face completely darkened. “You were already wary of me?” Mom said. “I'm not wary of you.” “I'm just afraid that you'll give me the things I worked hard to feed to someone who doesn't know enough.” Ly Khai spoke softly next to him. “Mom, don't say such cruel things.” Mom looked at him. “Do you still have the right to advise your mother?” Ly Khai did not dare to speak anymore. Lawyer La held the loan agreement again. “The wedding house is in Mrs. Manh's name.” “Two-year loan agreement in effect.” “The borrower has acts of threatening his immediate relatives

the homeowner, demanding to transfer the name and lying about ownership.” “The premature revocation has grounds.” Ha Man jumped up. “I don't clean!” “I've been pregnant for six months, you can't fire me.” Lawyer La said calmly. “You can rent another house with Ly Khai.” “Ms. Manh has no obligation to provide unconditional accommodation.” “If you refuse to move out, the costs incurred later will increase.” Ha Man's father's face turned black. “You are forcing people to die.” Mom looked at him. “When you forced my daughter into the factory, why didn't you see that was the way to death?” Ha Man's father was so choked that he couldn't speak. My father suddenly stood up. “That's enough.” “Manh Ngoc Hoa, do you have to make your family become like this today?” Mother raised her head to look at him. "It's you who forced Nam Chi to this point." “I just cleared the way for it.” Dad's chest heaved. “She is my daughter.” “I don't agree to let him leave home so far away.”
