Chapter 5 — The Fish Was Dumped Into The Trash, The Marriage Also Ended

Luc Giai Giai's eyes suddenly avoided.

“My brother gave it to me.”

“Lu Mingchuan's salary card is in my hand, the year-round balance is no more than 3,000 yuan.”

"Every time he said the company's bonus hadn't returned, he turned around and transferred the money to her."

“Do you know how much of that money I advanced to pay the home loan and living expenses?”

The onlookers started talking. The mother-in-law's crying also became smaller. Luc Giai Giai quickly turned the camera to another direction.

"Don't listen to her nonsense! She's just trying to whitewash herself!"

Right at that moment. A black commercial vehicle stopped on the side of the road. A man in his fifties stepped down. In his hand he held a thermos. Seeing the chaos in front of the door, he paused for a few seconds. Tham Duong came down from upstairs and immediately came to greet him.

“Uncle Luong, why did you come in person today?”

The man's eyes stopped on my face. Then suddenly stopped.

“Are you Master Hua's daughter?”

I was momentarily stunned.

“Do you know my father?”

The man put down the thermos and took two steps closer.

“Hua Truong Ha is my senior brother.”

“That year in Bac Thanh, Xuan Hoa Lau's sweet and sour carp dish, no one could surpass him.”

The mother-in-law's crying completely disappeared. Luc Giai Giai was still holding the phone, the camera was still facing me. Uncle Luong looked at her and frowned.

“Just now, you guys said she was rioting just because of a fish?”

Luc Giai Giai still tried to argue.

"It's just a fish. She makes the whole family fly and the dogs bark."

Uncle Luong's face darkened.

“It's not just a fish.”

“The Hua family's sweet and sour carp dish is Hua Truong Ha's lifelong passion.”

I clutched the stack of papers in my hand. Luc Giai Giai was not convinced.

“In what era do we still consider a dish as a treasure?”

Uncle Luong looked at me.

“Do you still make that?”

I don't answer. The mother-in-law spoke first:

"He's only good at cooking at home, there's nothing terrible. You're Master Luong, right? If you really know his father, advise him. Women who live day-to-day can't be too stubborn."

Master Luong smiled softly. He didn't bother paying attention to her. He took out a business card and gave it to me.

"Xuan Hoa Lau reopened the old store, missing a certain dish. If you agree, come tomorrow night to try the dish."

Luc Giai Giai's livestream room immediately exploded. She panicked and turned off the livestream immediately. The mother-in-law stared at the business card.

“Xuan Hoa Lau?”

“Is it the famous old brand on TV?”

Master Luong replied:

“That's right.”

The mother-in-law's eyes immediately lit up.

“So if Nam Chi goes there to work, how much money will he get a month?”

I put my business card in my pocket.

“It has nothing to do with you.”

In the evening, I went home to pack up my papers. Luc Minh Xuyen is sitting in the living room. On the tea table lay Master Luong's business card. Apparently he searched my bag.

“Xuan Hoa Lau contacted you?”

I opened the drawer and took out my household registration book.

“Your mother gave it to you?”

He stood up.

“Hua Nam Chi, was your father really the chef of Xuan Hoa Lau before?”

“What does it have to do with you?”

“Then why didn't you say anything?”

I looked at him.

“I said it before.”

“The first year after getting married, I told my dad how to make sweet and sour carp very delicious."

“He said the smell of grease in the kitchen was too strong, and told me not to always talk about cooking.”

Luc Minh Xuyen's face flashed with embarrassment.

“I didn't understand then.”

“Nam Chi, if Xuan Hoa Lau invites you, just go.”

“On the family side, I will tell my mother to apologize to you.”

I put the marriage certificate in my pocket.

“No need.”

“Don't be angry anymore.”

He blocked the door.

“If you go to Xuan Hoa Lau to work, it will also benefit me.”

“Your company is recently negotiating a food street project. Xuan Hoa Lau is a key partner."

“If you can talk to Master Luong, my project will definitely succeed.”

Only then did I understand. Why did he return so quickly? Not because I want to apologize. It's because of the project.

“Luc Minh Xuyen.”

“Yesterday you said I'm just an office worker at a small training center, it's okay to take half a day off.”

He quickly explained:

“You only talk when you're angry.”

“Today you discovered that I could be of help to you, so you agreed to let me go to Xuan Hoa Lau?”

His voice began to grow impatient.

"What else does a husband and wife need to help each other?"

“Your resources are also my resources.”

“Nam Chi, if you get promoted, I will also benefit.”

I walked around him. He immediately grabbed my bag handle.

“Don't go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow.”

“Let's go meet the customer first.”

"Once the project is signed, I'll make sure to celebrate your birthday."

“I will make you a fish again.”

I snatched the bag handle from his hand.

“I don't know how to fish.”

“You can buy it.”

“What I need is not fish.”
