Chapter 9 — Reclaiming the Future

"Today my daughter suffered such great pain, the house and three hundred thousand yuan must have an explanation." My mother closed the file. "Okay." “So let's explain each story clearly.” She took out her phone and made a call. “Lawyer La.” “Is it convenient for you to come over here now?” "My place has a house loan agreement, a debt dispute and a set of job applications suspected of forged signatures." Dad's face finally changed. He lowered his voice. “Manh Ngoc Hoa, did you really do it?” Mom looked at him. “Since you touched Nam Chi's future, I have no intention of saving face for you guys anymore.” I don't know what the other end of the line said. Mom turned on the speakerphone. A calm female voice rang out. “I'm nearby.” “Also, Ngoc Hoa, there is something I was going to remind you of.” "The supplementary card is in Ly Hoai Nhan's name, and this afternoon one hundred and twenty-eight thousand yuan was swiped." “The recipient is a store that combines wedding photography and jewelry.” Mom suddenly looked at dad. Ha Man's hand instinctively covered the necklace around her neck. 10 The eyes of everyone in the living room were focused on the necklace around Ha Man's neck. It was a thin gold wire, the pendant was not large but was encrusted with a ring of crushed diamonds. Before, I thought it was a dowry from her mother's family. Now that I think about it, every time she goes out wearing it, she intentionally sways in front of my mother. Mom looked at dad. “One hundred twenty-eight thousand yuan.” “Ly Hoai Nhan, please explain.” Dad's lips moved. “It was bought for Man Man.” "He's having a hard time, let's buy some things to make him happy." Mom laughed. “Use my supplementary card.” “Buying jewelry for my daughter-in-law.” “Then came home and told me that there was no money for Nam Chi to go to college.” Those words made my father's face turn red and white. Ha Man instinctively tucked the necklace into her collar. Phung Van smiled coldly. “No wonder she borrowed money to buy a bag and didn't regret it.” "It turns out there is someone in my husband's family who secretly makes up for it." Ha Man immediately glared at her. “You should stop being divisive!” “That's why dad loves me.” I looked at dad. "Dad?" “I feel sorry for her missing the necklace around her neck.” "But I can't help but feel that the exam paper in my hand is about to be torn up." When I looked at him, Dad looked away. But very quickly he stiffened his voice. “Women's feelings are very important.” "Nam Chi, don't always bring everything about yourself." Mom put the phone on the tea table. “Lawyer La, send me the details of the recent expenses.” Lawyer La's voice on the other end of the line was very steady. “I sent it.” “In addition, this secondary card is linked to your main account.” "If it is a large expenditure not authorized by the owner, she can request a recovery or force the actual user to take responsibility." Dad was frantic. “Recall what?” “If the item has been purchased, how do I take it back?” Mom looked at him. “So whoever is wearing it will pay.” Ha Man jumped up. “Manh Ngoc Hoa, don't be too harsh!” "I am your daughter-in-law, and in my womb are descendants of the Ly family." Mother said calmly. “Your belly is not an exemption card.” “Not even the password to swipe my card.” Ha Man's mother immediately shielded her. "In-laws, I've already bought it. Are you being too stingy now?" Mom nodded. "Correct." “I'm stingy.” “So stingy that I don't want my money to continue supporting a bunch of people who are planning on my daughter.” Ha Man's father looked gloomy. “You talk with a little respect.” “When Man Man walks into your house, he is already a member of your family.” Mom looked at him. “I spend money on family members out of affection.” "Having someone else secretly swipe your card is a debt." "If you want to talk to your family, first repay the 160,000 that your daughter borrowed." Phung Van immediately responded. "Correct." “Principal amount is sixteen thousand.” "I don't take interest, I have to come up with a repayment plan today." Ha Man's face turned white. “I don't have it now.” Phung Van asked. “Didn't you say your husband's family is about to give you three hundred thousand yuan?” "Isn't it said that after the wedding house changes its name, you can mortgage it to raise money?" My brother felt like he was stuck with a needle. “Do you still want to mortgage the house?” Ha Man bit her lip and did not speak. Her brother rushed in front of her. “In the end, how many things are you hiding from me?” Being pressed urgently, Ha Man pushed him back. “What right do you have to ask me?” “You yourself have no ability.” "Home

It's not mine, the salary isn't high." “After I got pregnant, I wanted to buy some good things just because you couldn't give them to me.” His brother's whole body stiffened. He was like a punctured balloon, his shoulders slowly slumping. Before, I always felt that he was only controlled by Ha Man. Now I understand, he was also willing to be captured. Because as long as Ha Man cries, he can push the responsibility to me and my mother. Lawyer La said on the phone. “Ngoc Hoa, I'll be there in ten minutes.” “Before I come, don't let the other party take away any documents.” Mother replied once. After hanging up the phone, she put the blue folder in the iron box. Again gave my papers and documents to Mr. Do. "Please continue to help Nam Chi register." Teacher Do nodded and pushed the confirmation page in front of me. I hold the pen. This time my hands didn't shake. When I wrote my name, Ha Man suddenly stared at me. Her eyes seemed poisoned.
