Chapter 1 — The Fish Was Dumped Into The Trash, The Marriage Also Ended

Mother-in-law Criticized Sour Fish and Dumped It Straight into the Trash, I Turned Up and Sold My Married House, Throwing My Husband's Entire Family Out During dinner, my husband suddenly slammed his chopsticks on the edge of the bowl.

"When you cook fish, why do you have to add vinegar? Obviously you know my mother can't smell this smell."

I was spooning soup for him, my hand stopped in mid-air.

“There are a total of 8 dishes on the table, which dish has vinegar?”

Luc Minh Xuyen was speechless when I asked him, his face quickly darkened.

"What if there's only one dish? The whole family doesn't eat sour food, so you intentionally put it on the table, do you want to upset anyone?"

“That's for me.”

My mother-in-law raised her head and glared at me. I put the soup ladle back in the bowl.

"Today is my birthday. Carp with sweet and sour sauce is a dish my father makes for me every year. If you don't like it, you can leave it alone."

During the meal, my husband suddenly slammed his chopsticks on the edge of the bowl.

"When you cook fish, why do you have to add vinegar? Obviously you know my mother can't smell this smell."

I was spooning soup for him, my hand stopped in mid-air.

My mother-in-law raised her head and glared at me. I put the soup ladle back in the bowl.

"Today is my birthday. Carp with sweet and sour sauce is a dish my father makes for me every year. If you don't like it, you can leave it alone."

Luc Minh Xuyen frowned.

"Hua Nam Chi, how old are you and you still bring up your birthday? My mother is busy helping Giai Giai look at the wedding house, can't you sympathize a little?"

I looked at the fish on the table. It was Yellow River carp that I had to go halfway across the city after work to buy. When I got home, I scraped off the scales, cut it with a knife, fried it until the outer skin was golden and crispy, then used aged vinegar and rock sugar to cook it into a pot of sauce. There are 8 dishes on the table. The 7 dishes are all the Luc family's taste. Mother-in-law eats blandly. Luc Minh Xuyen does not eat ginger. Luc Giai Giai's brother-in-law hates the strong smell of garlic. I avoid every single one. Only that fish dish is for yourself. The mother-in-law slammed her chopsticks on the table and reached out to pick up the fish dish.

"Just for your birthday, do you force the whole family to suffer with you? So sour that it makes your teeth hurt, who can swallow it?"

I stood up.

“Mom, put it down.”

But she didn't stop. She carried the fish plate to the kitchen door, right in front of me, and tossed the whole fish into the trash can. Hot sauce splashed onto the side of the barrel. The fishtail is still exposed outside. Luc Giai Giai covered his nose and smirked.

"Sister-in-law, don't act like you're about to cry. It's been five years since you married into our Luc family and you still carry over the country habits from your mother's house. You really don't understand anything."

I don't cry. I just suddenly remembered five years ago, during the wedding, Luc Minh Xuyen held my hand and said that he would remember all my hobbies. Over the past five years, I remember the tastes of each person in the Luc family. I remember the day my mother-in-law went dancing in the square. Remember that every time your period comes, Luc Giai Giai is not allowed to drink cold drinks. I remember when Luc Minh Xuyen had a stomachache, he only ate millet porridge. Yet they even let me eat one piece of sweet and sour fish during the day Birthdays are also unacceptable.

“Hua Nam Chi.”

Luc Minh Xuyen tapped on the table.

"If you've made enough trouble, sit down. Tomorrow Giai Giai's boyfriend comes to the house, don't show that face anymore. Also, remember to clean up the kitchen tonight, go buy two king crabs tomorrow morning. It's the first time people come to visit, don't let our Luc family lose face."

I took off my apron and placed it on the back of the chair.

“Everyone go buy it yourself.”

The mother-in-law shouted shrilly:

“What do you mean?”

“From today onwards, I will no longer cook this family's meals.”

Luc Minh Xuyen pushed the bowl forward.

“Let me say it again.”

I looked straight at him.

“I don't cook anymore.”

The living room was silent for two seconds. The first person to laugh was Luc Giai Giai.

"Brother, have you heard? She still dares to threaten us. If she doesn't cook, then why should she let mom cook? Mom is this old, having to serve an outsider like her is already disadvantageous enough."

I turned around and went back to my room. From behind came Luc Minh Xuyen's voice trying to suppress his anger.

"Hua Nam Chi, if you dare to step into that room today, don't ask me to comfort you tomorrow."

Before the door closed, I heard my mother-in-law curse.

“Eat from my son, stay at my son's house, and yet you actually consider yourself the owner of the house.”

I opened my phone. On the screen is still the message Luc Minh Xuyen sent from yesterday afternoon. 【Nam Chi, pay your mortgage first at the end of the month. Giai Giai was engaged and needed money, so my mother told me to take out that savings book and rotate it temporarily.】 I looked at that line for a long time. The deposit to buy a house is compensation for clearing the old house that my parents left behind. Monthly installments are deducted directly from my salary card. As for the so-called "temporary rotation" in Luc Minh Xuyen's mouth, it has never been returned before. I opened the phonebook and called the broker manager.

"Mr. Chu, can the house I mentioned last time be listed for sale tomorrow?"

Manager Chu picked up the phone very quickly.

"Miss Hua, if the documents are complete, we can come take photos tonight. Are you sure you don't need to discuss further with your family?"

I looked towards the door, where the noise was still echoing incessantly.

“No need to discuss.”

“So what about the selling price?”

"300,000 yuan lower than the market price is fine. The faster the better."
