Chapter 8 — Staying at Thanh Ba Host
“Phuong Dung moves out today.” “I can call a car for her belongings.” “If she doesn't move, I'll report it to the police.” Phuong Dung glared at me. “Do you really want to go to this extent?” I said: “It was you who pushed Tieu Man to this point first.” Co Tue Cam looked at her uncle and aunt. "You guys came at the right time." "Send people away." "If you don't wait for the police to come, what you say will be even harder to hear." Uncle was so angry that his chest was heaving. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Tieu Man's shrill voice suddenly rang out from the bedroom. "Mom." My heart sank. The door to the room opened a small crack. Tieu Man stood there holding a stuffed rabbit, his eyes red. The little girl saw many people in the living room and timidly asked. "Is it because I watch cartoons that everyone is arguing?" Phuong Dung opened her mouth to speak. Co Tue Cam immediately walked over and picked her up. "No." "It's because some adults don't understand manners, grandma is teaching her." Tieu Man leaned on Co Tue Cam's shoulder, tears falling. "Then I won't watch it anymore." As soon as this sentence ended, the living room fell into complete silence. I saw my aunt bow her head. My uncle's hand also slowly dropped down. Only Phuong Dung stood in place, the feeling of self-pity on her face finally could no longer be maintained. She suddenly turned around and rushed into the guest room. The door was slammed shut by her. A few seconds later, the sound of furniture falling was heard inside.08In the guest room, there were clattering sounds. It was like someone pulled each drawer out and then forcefully pushed it back. The management staff frowned. "Head of the household, do you need us to come in and take a look?" Before I could speak, Phuong Dung was already inside shouting. "Who dares to come in here?" "If one of my belongings is missing, can you pay for it?" My uncle immediately turned and glared at me. "Did you hear that?" "His belongings are all in there, don't let us take advantage of the chaos." I almost burst out laughing. "This is my house." "From the beginning to the end, I never stepped into her room." Co Tue Cam hugged Tieu Man, her voice very steady. "Her room door, we don't bother touching it." "Wait for her to come out and clean it herself." My aunt wiped her tears, her voice mumbling. "Duong Nhan, consider asking me." "Just let him stay for one night." "I'll talk to his father when I get home, tomorrow morning I'll come pick him up." I looked at her. "Auntie, I heard what Tieu Man said just now." "In her own home, she's starting to feel like she shouldn't watch TV anymore." "I can't let her be scared one more night." My aunt was speechless. Tieu Man wrapped his arms around Co Tue Cam's neck and secretly looked at me. I walked over and caressed her face. "You didn't do anything wrong." "This house doesn't need you to cower." She nodded, but her tears continued to fall. I tried to suppress the stinging feeling in my throat. At this moment, the phone rang. It was Lam Tranh calling. He went on a business trip for two days and was originally told to return home at ten o'clock at night. I picked up the phone, but before I could speak, he asked first. "What's going on at home?" I glanced at the guest room. "Phuong Dung refused to leave." Lam Tranh was silent for a second. "I've arrived at the apartment gate." "Don't argue with them." "Is there management there?" "Yes." "Okay, I'll be right up." After hanging up, Phuong Dung walked out of the guest room. She combed her hair and washed her face. But my eyes are still red. She dragged an empty suitcase and placed it in the middle of the living room. "Okay, I'll clean it up." "You guys are satisfied, right?" With that, her tears flowed again. "I was a divorced woman. When I returned to my mother's house, I was hated. When I went to live with relatives, I was kicked out." "You guys are very good." My aunt felt sad and wanted to run to help her. Co Tue Cam raised her hand to stop her. "If she wants to pack her things, let her
Thu." "No one kicked her out, they invited her to leave." "Invited many times, but she did not agree." Phuong Dung's fingers stiffened, she turned to look at Co Tue Cam and stared at her. "Miss, do you have to say such meaningless and emotionless words?" Co Tue Cam replied: "Whether or not I am out of love depends on how far away you are from my niece." My uncle couldn't help but get angry. "Don't you dare open your mouth that she's your niece." "My daughter is also someone else's daughter!" Co Tue Cam raised her eyes. "Then you can take her home and feel sorry for her." "Don't let her vent her anger at someone else's house." My uncle was so rebuked that his face turned pale. The doorbell rang again. I opened the door, Lam Tranh stood outside. He was still carrying his luggage in his hand, his shirt sleeves were rolled up, sweat was on his forehead. He looked at Tieu Man first. "Tieu Man, dad's home." As soon as she saw him, Tieu Man's tears immediately flowed out. "Dad." Lam Tranh put down his luggage, changed his slippers, entered the house, and walked over to hug her. "It's okay." "Dad's here." He didn't ask Phuong Dung a single question. He handed Tieu Man over to Co Tue Cam first, then turned to look at me. "Have you decided?" I nodded. "I have to go today." Lam Tranh replied: "Okay." He looked at Phuong Dung.
