Chapter 12 — The Fish Was Dumped Into The Trash, The Marriage Also Ended
I uploaded my profile. Luc Minh Xuyen also gave another file. I saw there were a few photos of the transfer transaction. Each transfer is 1,000 yuan. Or 2,000 yuan. The content of the note is family expenses. He seemed to have grabbed the straw that saved his life.
“I also spent money on this family.”
I nodded.
“Those amounts are living expenses you transferred to me.”
“But the next day I forwarded it to your mother to buy medicine or pay insurance for Giai Giai.”
“There are invoices for comparison behind.”
The mediator flipped through each page of the file. Sweat on Luc Minh Xuyen's forehead began to drip. Mother-in-law is impatient.
“That money is all spent at home.”
“How can such detailed calculations be possible?”
The mediator replied:
"If there is a property dispute, each item must be clarified."
I brought up the last file.
“And here.”
"It's the marital property agreement that Luc Minh Xuyen forced me to sign."
“200,000 yuan for the whole house.”
“That day there were company leaders and third parties witnessing.”
After watching, the mediator frowned.
“This agreement is clearly seriously unbalanced.”
Luc Minh Xuyen bowed his head. The other boy was about to speak up. But the mediator raised his hand to stop it.
“Family members please do not interfere.”
The mediation session did not achieve results. When I walked out of the courthouse. Mother-in-law chased after.
“Hua Nam Chi!”
“Do you really want to force us to death?”
I turned my head.
“I'm just taking back what belongs to me.”
Luc Minh Xuyen stood on the steps. Suddenly asked:
“If your mother hadn't dumped that fish in the first place…”
“Will we make it to today?”
I looked at him.
“It's not the fish's problem.”
“So what's the problem?”
“It's because you see I don't have fish to eat…”
“But I still think I deserve it.”
The day Xuan Hoa Lau officially opened. There was a long line outside the door. The first dish on the menu clearly states: Carp with Nam Chi sweet and sour sauce. Tham Duong's family meal experience class is also officially open for registration. First twenty spots. In just half a day, it was fully booked. I was busy until ten o'clock at night when I saw Luc Minh Xuyen's message. It's a photo. In the photo, the mother-in-law is lying on a hospital bed. 【Mom is hospitalized.】 【I'm going on a trip.】 I answered: 【Contact Luc Giai Giai.】 The phone immediately rang. I picked up the phone.
“This time my mother is really not okay.”
“The doctor said my blood pressure is very high.”
“Have you paid your hospital fees yet?”
He was silent. I asked again:
“Need me to lend you money?”
His voice was hoarse.
“I'm having a hard time.”
“Giai Giai still owes money to the Trieu family.”
“I'll help you advance.”
“Consider it a loan.”
“No loans.”
“Human beings cannot be so cruel.”
I wiped the water off my hands.
“Luc Minh Xuyen.”
“The past five years.”
“Every time your mother goes to the hospital, I am the one who registers for examination.”
“I'm the one paying the money.”
“The person who took the medicine was also me.”
“When she scolded me that the chicken didn't know how to lay…”
“I just advanced her 8,000 yuan for hospital fees.”
The other end of the line was completely silent.
“Do you remember?”
He replied very quietly:
“I was busy then.”
“You've always been busy.”
“Busy using my money to show filial piety.”
“Busy using my efforts to be a good person.”
His voice lowered.
“Now I know how hard it was for you any."
"It's late."
Right at that moment. From the other end of the line came the voice of the mother-in-law.
“Minh Xuyen, is it coming?”
"If he doesn't come, tell him, whatever fate happens to you, it's all because of him!"
I hung up. The next morning. A video of the hospital fee counter suddenly spread online. My mother-in-law dressed in a hospital gown, cried and told me on the phone that I didn't care whether she lived or died. But not long after. Another video appeared. In the video, she is sitting in the hospital room eating braised meat. While eating, I scolded the nurse a lot for reminding me to pay the hospital fee. The person who posted the video is a relative of the patient in the same room. The title clearly states:
"I had high blood pressure but still secretly ate three pieces of braised pork, and blamed my daughter-in-law for not giving me money."
Luc Giai Giai's account was completely attacked by netizens to the point that it had to be closed. Luc Minh Xuyen sent me a message. 【Are you satisfied?】 I didn't answer. At that time, I was teaching the first course on making sweet and sour carp. An older female student asked:
“Miss Hua, why does the sweet and sour sauce have to be poured last?”
I reduced the heat.
“The fish must be fried enough for the bones to be hard enough to lift the whole fish body.”
“So are humans.”
“First you have to support yourself.”
“That way, it won't be easy for others to throw in the trash.”
