Chapter 11 — The Rain Stops, I Also Awake From Dreaming

“The creditors can't hold out any longer.” Phuong Mai asked: "What if it refuses to sell?" Tham Hao pressed the cigarette into the ashtray. “Let her sign the additional agreement first.” “Speaking of project documents.” “As long as she signs, the next things will be easy to do.” At this point, the video played, and even the breathing in the hospital room became heavy. Tham Hao suddenly rushed forward, reaching out to grab the tablet. Father's assistant blocked the front. The policeman also stepped up. “Mr. Tham Hao, please calm down.” Tham Hao's face twisted for a moment. “This part has been cut.” “They cut and paste.” I looked at him. “Time in the video is continuous.” “What else do you want to say?” Tham Hao suddenly turned to me. “Manh Duong, it turns out you installed these things in your house to guard against me a long time ago?” I almost burst out laughing. “The camera was installed by my mother.” “Cloud sync service paid for by me.” “When you guys scolded me, I never thought it was still working.” Phuong Mai's legs were weak, she clung to the edge of the bed. She started crying again. “Those are all words when angry.” "Which house does not quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?" "It saved the words I said, proving that it had bad intentions a long time ago." Finally, my father couldn't bear it anymore and shouted softly: "Shut up." Phuong Mai was startled. Dad pointed at the tablet. "You guys discussed selling my daughter's pre-marital house, forging a guarantee, and designing it for her to sign." “Now you still have the face to say he has bad intentions?” Phuong Mai was shouted at until she shrank her neck but still did not submit. "She married here for three years and spent a lot of the Tham family's money." I slowly raised my head. “Spent what?” "How much did you spend on the deposit for the house after getting married?" “Who pays for your hospitalization?” “Who paid your son's credit card?” “Whose salary is your monthly tax deducted from?” Each question made Phuong Mai's face turn dark red. Tham Hao suddenly spoke up. "Enough." His voice was hoarse. “Manh Duong, I admit I did not do this right.” Those words made everyone look at him. He took two steps forward, trying to squeeze out some red in his eyes. “But you were forced.” “The company's capital chain is broken.” “Creditors block the door every day.” "My mother is old, I can't let her suffer together." “You are my wife, how about helping me once?” Looking at that appearance, I felt a cold feeling in my stomach. "Help?" “I put your name on the guarantee paper, using your house as security.” “I'll let my mother find someone to pry open the door.” “You kicked me out of the car on the highway.” “Is that called helping?” Tham Hao's eyes became even redder. “At that time, I was so angry that I lost my reason.” “You're in front of my mother and you don't bow your head.” “You are a man, you also need face.” Father suddenly burst out laughing. Laughter without any temperature. “So your reputation is worth more than her life.” Tham Hao was silent. The two creditors looked at each other, their faces even more ugly. The man holding the briefcase told the police: "We want to report a case." “If the guarantee documents are fake, we are also the victims.” Tham Hao suddenly turned his head. “General Manager Wang, you can't do that.” The man shook his hand away. “Shen Hao, I gave you a chance.” "You still dare to lie to your own wife. Why should I trust you?" That sentence was like the last piece of wood that crushed Tham Hao. The disguise on his face was completely broken
n. He pointed at me, his voice filled with aggression. “Manh Duong, do you think you won?” “The money has been spent.” "The company collapsed, I don't expect to get much back." "No matter how good your father is, he can't make money from you." Father calmly spoke up. "Who said I'm only looking for you?" Tham Hao was stunned. Father looked at lawyer Han. Lawyer Han immediately continued. "Recently, there were two more large transfers in Ms. Phuong's account." “One amount is two hundred and eighty thousand yuan, one amount is one hundred and fifty thousand yuan.” “The source of money came from Tham Hao's company account.” "Used to buy gold, transferred to relatives, part of it goes to Phuong Que Huong's account." Phuong Mai shouted. "That's money for my son to honor me." Lawyer Han said: "If the source of money is related to loan fraud or appropriation of common property of the couple, it is not simply filial piety." Phuong Mai's lips trembled even more violently. Tham Hao's whole body seemed to have been drained of all its strength. At this moment, a police officer on duty quickly walked in. He lowered his voice and said a few words to the traffic police. The policeman's face changed. “Miss Manh Duong.” "Phuong Que Huong testified at the police station that tonight was not the first time they pried open the door." “She said half a month ago, Tham Hao took her there once.” My heart suddenly sank. The police officer continued: "That time they took away a jewelry box." “Inside there are relics left by your mother.” 12 The four words “mother's relics” were like a safety pin piercing my heart. I immediately sat up straight, my knee was in severe pain. The nurse quickly held me back. “Don't move around.” But I just stared at Tham Hao. “Where is the jewelry box?” Tham Hao avoided my eyes. “I don't know.” “I asked your mother.”
