Chapter 12 — Staying at Thanh Ba Host

Phuong Dung was stopped, tears rolling down her cheeks. "You all bullied me." "I just pawned it for a little bit." "After that, didn't you give it back to your aunt?" I raised my head. "What you gave me was a bracelet without this word." "Where is the original one?" Phuong Dung's lips trembled. "I forgot." "I really forgot." Co Tue Cam coldly asked: "Forgot, or sold?" Phuong Dung said nothing. The anger on my uncle's face could no longer be resisted. He bent down to pick up the receipt, looked at it for two seconds, his hands were shaking. "Phuong Dung." "Is this true?" Phuong Dung burst into tears. "At that time I had no money." "Before the divorce, he didn't give me living expenses, I couldn't pay my credit card." "I just wanted to rotate the capital a little." "I originally intended to redeem it." Lam Tranh said: "So have you redeemed it yet?" Phuong Dung was speechless. My aunt covered her mouth, her tears falling more intensely. "I told my mother, I only borrowed Duong Nhan's bracelet to wear for two days." "Then I said the lock was broken, take it to be repaired." "How dare you pawn it?" Phuong Dung screamed as if she was devastated: "Do I have any other choice?" "Everyone forced me to be patient every day." "His family looked down on me, everyone also told me not to make a fuss." "I don't have money in my hand, I know what to do." Why?” I heard her cry and scream each sentence, but my heart grew colder and colder. She has her difficulties. But her difficulties were never something I had to bear. Not even Tieu Man has to pay the price. I looked at her. "You took my gold bracelet to pawn it, exchange it for a similar one to return it." "Today you falsely accused my daughter of stealing your bracelet." "Phuong Dung, you're not quick to speak." "You're used to taking other people's things to cover up your own mistakes." She seemed to be hit by this sentence, suddenly raising her head and glaring at me. "What right do you have to say I'm like that?" "You live a good life, of course you can stand there and talk coolly." I said: "I live a good life, that's not a reason for you to steal my things." "My daughter is six years old, that's not a reason for you to vent your anger." From outside the door came the sound of footsteps. Two police officers arrived. The manager briefly summarized the situation. The people in the living room were silent. The police looked at Tieu Man first. Tieu Man was being held by Lam Tranh, her small face crying until it turned red. A police officer lowered his voice. "The child should go to the room to rest first." Co Tue Cam immediately took Tieu Man back to the room. Before leaving, Tieu Man still grabbed my sleeve. "Mom." I squatted down. "Mom is here." "This is not my fault." She nodded, but still didn't dare look at Phuong Dung. The moment the door closed, my heart became even harder. The police began to inquire about the situation. I recounted the entire time Phuong Dung stayed there, the argument, the false accusation of stealing the bracelet, the pawning receipt and the old gold keychain. Lam Tranh opened the hallway camera video. In the video, the image of Phuong Dung personally putting the silver box into the side compartment of her handbag is clearly visible. After watching, the police asked Phuong Dung. "Why did you suspect the child just now?" Phuong Dung lowered her head. "I was suddenly impatient." "I remember wrong." Co Tue Cam walked out of the room, just in time to hear this sentence. She stood at the door. "If I remembered wrong, you dare tell my niece to mess with her camera?" "If you weren't caught on camera today, would you let her bear this dirty name?" Phuong Dung didn't dare to argue. The police again held up the pawning receipt. "The matter of this bracelet needs further verification." "If she borrowed it in the past and pawned it without permission, then used another item to return it, that's the nature of the case."

It's not just a family conflict anymore." Phuong Dung's legs went weak, she almost sat down on the ground. My uncle finally panicked. "Comrade police, this has been going on for many years." "We're relatives, can we resolve it privately?" The police looked at me. "Whether we can reconcile or not depends on the person's wishes." Everyone's eyes turned to me. I looked at the bracelet without any engravings, then looked back at the bracelet. looked at the bedroom door. Behind that door, Tieu Man was trembling and crying because of a slander. I said: "I do not accept verbal reconciliation." "If you need to verify, just verify." Phuong Dung raised her head. "Duong Nhan, do you want to destroy me?" I calmly looked at her. "You are the one who interfered in my house." "And then reached out to harm my daughter." Phuong Dung's face distorted for a moment "Okay." "I'm determined to settle the bill, so let's do it together." "The debt note your mother signed for my mother in the past is still in my hand." My mother's voice rang out from outside the door at just the right moment. "Dung Dung." "Who do you want to threaten with the debt note you paid a long time ago?" 12 My mother stood outside the door, her face obviously extremely pale.
