Chapter 11 — Six Pairs of Slippers in Front of My Door

His voice was hoarse.

"You're wrong. We could..."

I interrupted him.

"Cannot."

The last hope on his face was completely shattered. I looked at him.

“Co Hoai An.”

“Starting from the day you changed the locks on my house…”

“We are finished.”

After the divorce judgment took effect, the criminal case was also accelerated. La Phuong Lien received three hundred and eighty thousand yuan from the Thieu family, fabricated the right to handle the house, falsified the stay agreement, and coordinated the illegal occupation of the house. Co Hoai An provided the keys, forged signatures, transferred the original real estate certificate, and participated in dividing the money received. Co Tinh clearly knew that the house was not under her control, but she still cooperated in moving in and pawned my jewelry and relics. Although the Thieu family was the one who gave the money, they knew clearly that I was the homeowner, and even planned to use "powerful people" to force me to move out, so they were also dealt with separately. The day the final results were announced… I was standing in the house supervising the workers re-laying the wooden floors. La Phuong Lien for fraud and falsifying related evidence was sentenced to three years and two months in prison. Co Hoai An was sentenced to three years and eight months in prison for being an accomplice to fraud, falsifying documents and appropriating property. Due to appropriating property, concealing and transferring evidence related to the case, after pleading guilty and making full compensation, Co Tinh was sentenced to one year and six months in prison, with a suspended sentence of two years. Because of participating in trespassing and destroying property, Thieu Bang was placed in administrative detention and forced to pay compensation. The Thieu family also sued the Co family to reclaim three hundred eighty thousand yuan and the bride price. The marriage of Co Tinh and Thieu Bang... Only lasted four months. I heard that on the day of the divorce, Thieu Bang's mother even stood in front of the gate of the civil affairs department and scolded her:

"You don't have a house but you still pretend to be a young lady! Taking someone's sister-in-law's house as a dowry, the Co family is really good at acting!"

After hearing this, Co Tinh fainted on the spot. No one believes she's pregnant anymore. The direction of the wind online has also completely changed direction. After the police announcement was announced, the emotional blogger immediately deleted the video. Delete very quickly. But to no avail. I soon had the evidence notarized. Lawyer Tan replaced me to sue the three most viral accounts. Demand apology and compensation. The first account settled before the trial, compensation of thirty thousand yuan. The second account posted a public apology pinned to the top of the page for seven days. The third account stubbornly resisted until the end... In the end, they were awarded fifty-eight thousand yuan in compensation. I donated all compensation money to the women's legal support center in the city. The donation notes only write one sentence:

“Hopefully every door that has ever been forced open… can be locked again.”

The people who had stood and watched the excitement in the building also began to change their attitudes. Ms. Vuong said there were a few people who wanted to come and apologize to me. I said no need. After that, apology gifts actually appeared at my door several times. A crate of oranges. A bag of apples. There's also a small piece of paper.

"Tieu Hua, I'm sorry. We believed your mother-in-law back then."

I don't accept. I asked the manager to return it. There are some injuries... No need to compensate. Just stay away. My uncle's lawsuit claiming six hundred thousand loan money was also won. Co Hoai An is serving his sentence, and doesn't have many assets left in his name. The court put the car he bought after marriage up for auction. The remaining debt... Slowly enforce it. The eldest aunt was afraid of me and felt guilty.

“Auntie, I will return that money to you.”

Aunt immediately glared.

“If you say that again, I'll be really angry.”

I laughed. It was the first time in many months… I truly smiled from the bottom of my heart. The house was renovated for two months. I threw away the bed in the master bedroom. Throw the rug away. Throw the sofa. Everything they touched, dirty, or reminded me of that time... I cleaned it all out. Some people say I'm a waste. I don't care. For a house… Cleanliness is more important than saving. At the mysterious entrance, I replaced a new shoe cabinet. The top floor is just for my own shoes.
