Chapter 5 — Ten Pounds of Shrimp, Breaking a Marriage Life

That night, after returning from overtime, I opened the bedroom door. The scene before my eyes... made me dumbfounded. The wardrobe was slashed with knives, and the clothes were crumpled into piles and thrown all over the floor. The custom-made suit for meeting guests was also splattered with red paint. The dressing table is even more miserable. All my cosmetics were smashed, my lipstick was broken, my eye shadow palette was broken, and my jewelry... disappeared. I walked out and looked at the three people in the living room. The mother-in-law pretended to be deaf, still bowing her head to pick vegetables. Tong Anh Due continued to play the game. My father-in-law calmly fed the fish. Only Vuong Quyen covered her mouth and pretended to be surprised:

"Oh sister-in-law, today some of Tinh Tinh's friends came over and came to my room for a while. They're children, they don't understand things, so don't take it personally."

She smiled at me. His eyes were full of provocation. That being said… what can you do to me? I didn't say a word. Immediately call the police.

“Hello, my house was broken into… there was huge property damage… yes, many valuable jewelry was lost…”

Vuong Quyen screamed and rushed to grab the phone, but I kicked it away. The mother-in-law also woke up startled, slapped her thighs and screamed:

"Why did you report to the police? Just a little child playing, do you need to do that much?"

Her father-in-law was so excited that he knocked over the entire fish tank and turned to shout at Tong Anh Due:

"Stop him! Report anything to the police. He's shameless, I even know!"

Tong Anh Due quickly grabbed the phone, but I had already hung up. He trembled and raised his hand to slap me. I immediately picked up the fruit knife and pointed it straight at his stomach.

"Let's hit. See if your slap is faster... or my knife is faster."

He froze and took a step back. The mother-in-law grabbed the phone, saw that there was indeed a call, and immediately screamed:

"Are you crazy? Why did you call the police? Tinh Tinh is still so young, how dare you let people arrest him?"

I coldly replied:

"My property suffered preliminary damage of more than two hundred thousand. If you don't report it to the police, will I be the one to suffer?"

Vuong Quyen trembled, then as if remembering something, laughed:

"What's the use of reporting it? Tinh Tinh is only six years old, if he's good, tell the police to arrest him!"

I laughed coldly.

“If you can't catch the children... then catch the guardian.”

I looked straight at her, every word clear:

“Vuong Quyen, all my losses today—

Either you give it back, or… go to jail.” The police arrived very quickly and made a lot of noise, causing surrounding neighbors to come and watch in large numbers like a festival. The mother-in-law sat down in front of the door, crying and screaming:

"The family is unhappy! The daughter-in-law called the police to arrest the mother-in-law!"

I didn't lose either. I messed up my hair, tore my clothes, knelt in front of the elevator, crying even louder than her.

"I live in this house and the whole family bullies me! They steal my jewelry, destroy my personal belongings, and even tear my clothes to pieces!"

I even pulled the photo out to show my neighbors. Their eyes looking at the Song family... immediately changed. My father-in-law lost face and hid straight into his room, not daring to come out. Tong Anh Due bowed his head and explained to the police:

"It's just a family joke, you guys just make it through, don't take it too seriously..."

The police glanced at him and said coldly:

"Destroying personal property of great value, you call it a joke? Do you think the law is a game?"

Vuong Quyen sat on the ground, his face no longer bleeding. Being pressed, she finally admitted. Socks It's all her doing. She hid the jewelry, intending to wait for me to ignore it because of "family love", then secretly sell it. Luckily I discovered it early and before I could escape, everything was ransacked from her room. But her cosmetics, clothes... were destroyed, she had no money to compensate, and was detained. Vuong Quyen was taken away, and her mother-in-law rushed in front of me, crying until her voice was hoarse.

"You unscrupulous thing! He was just joking with you, how dare you really report him to the police? If he doesn't come out, I'll stab you to death!"

My father-in-law also came out, hugged her, pointed straight at me and cursed:

"Giang Duong, the Tong family is really unlucky to have a daughter-in-law like you! Quickly figure out a way to get Quyen out, otherwise take your son out of here!"

Tong Anh Due stood in the middle, facing a dilemma. He didn't dare disobey his parents' wishes... but he also didn't want to really divorce me. Looking at that appearance... I just feel tired. In the end, her mother-in-law had to use her own money to compensate to bring Vuong Quyen home. I think through this, they will know fear. Unexpectedly... it was just the beginning of a more evil scene.
