Chapter 15 — The New Marriage Digs the Truth

My mother stood in front of me. "Mrs. Trieu, what kind of ability do you have to target my daughter?" Trieu Lam laughed. "Mrs. Kieu, you should also teach your daughter, if you're married, don't always go back to your mother's house to cause trouble. If you don't involve the whole family, it's not good at all." I asked: "Are you the accuser?" Trieu Lam said: "I just heard that your factory is not clean, so I remind my friends to check." I nodded. "Let's check then." Trieu Lam froze. I turned around and said to the worker: "All the books, fire prevention records, import invoices, take them all out. Anyone who wants to check today can check on the spot. If the problem cannot be found, whoever seals the door must apologize." Lady Ha smirked: "Who do you think you are?" A car stopped on the side of the road. General Director Ton stepped down, behind were two lawyers. "She is the supervisory consultant of Ton Thi who just signed the contract. The Kieu family factory is Ton Thi's new supplier, I have the right to request a public inspection." Lady Ha's face changed. Trieu Lam's voice was cold: "General Manager Ton, do you have to meddle in the Luc family's affairs?" General Manager Ton said: "I am meddling in business matters. If Lady Trieu continues to use personal grudges to disrupt the supply, I will reconsider cooperating with Luc Thi." Finally, cracks appeared on Trieu Lam's face. The person in charge started checking. Books are turned over page by page, fire prevention and fighting records are compared item by item. The more Mrs. Ha waited, the more impatient she became. "How can there be no problems at such a small factory?" Kieu Yen couldn't help but ask: "Your kitchen still has oil stains, why does our factory have to be dirty?" My wife pulled her: "Shut up." Kieu Yen whispered: "You said it quite correctly." Two hours later, the person in charge closed the document. "For the time being, we have not discovered that the content of the accusation is true, so we unsealed it." I looked at Trieu Lam. "Sorry." Trieu Lam smiled coldly. "It's not like I sealed the door." General Manager Ton spoke up: "Lady Trieu, I will report today's matter to Mr. Luc." Trieu Lam's face darkened. Lady Ha intends to leave. I stopped her. "Lady Ha, last time at the auction you guaranteed Lam Chi, saying she couldn't steal things. Today you went with Lady Trieu to seal my factory. Have your friends' eyes always been this bad?" Among the workers gathered around, someone burst out laughing. Lady Ha's face turned red. "Kieu Ninh, don't be too much." I said: "It's too much that you guys came to the door to bully me, and even criticized me for not kneeling down to thank you." When Luc Thua Nghien ran over, Trieu Lam was preparing to get in the car. He blocked the front of the car. "Mom, I'm sorry for the Kieu family." Trieu Lam seemed to hear a joke. "You told me to apologize to her?" Luc Thua Nghien said: "The complaint was sent by you from the Ha family, I have investigated it." Trieu Lam's face turned pale. "You are my mother!" "That's why I told you to apologize now, not wait for grandpa to come and handle it." Trieu Lam looked at him, tears suddenly falling. "I raised you this much, you forced me because of a woman." Luc Thua Nghien's voice was very low. "You also forced Kieu Ninh's mother like that." Trieu Lam couldn't say anything. He turned to my mother and bowed. "Auntie, I'm sorry." My mother didn't help him. "Mr. Luc, I accept your apology. But the feelings my daughter has endured cannot be erased just by bowing once." Luc Thua Nghien stood up straight, looking at me. I said nothing. Trieu Lam gritted his teeth and finally forced out a sentence from between his teeth. "Sorry." Kieu Yen immediately asked: "Who are you talking to? Mosquitoes scream louder than you." This time my aunt did not stop me. Trieu Lam was so angry that his face turned blue. I said: "Forget it, today the Kieu family declares merit, don't want to listen to bad luck." Trieu Lam sat in the car and closed the door loudly. Luc Thua

Nghien stayed behind and helped my father move the exposed books back to the office. My father looked at him. "Mr. Luc, you don't need to do these things." Luc Thua Nghien said: "I want to do it." My father said: "Good things that come late are the most worthless things." Luc Thua Nghien's hand movements stopped. My father said again: “But at least it's better than not coming.” Luc Thua Nghien raised his head. "Thank you." My father waved his hand. "Don't thank me too soon. Whether Ninh Ninh needs you or not, our family won't nod for him." Before Lam Chi's case opened in court, she asked to see me. I went. Separated by a layer of glass, she was thin to the point of deformity, her hair was cut short, and her face no longer had the weak look from before. She picked up the phone, the first sentence was: "You won." I said: "I didn't come to hear you admit defeat." She laughed. "So what are you doing here? Watching me do harm?" "I came to ask you a question. Three years ago, why didn't you notify the rescue team?" She looked at me for a long time. "Because I'm jealous." I held the phone and said nothing.
