Chapter 11 — The School District House and the Ruined Marriage

"That's the Chu family's ancestral property! You Tham family really cannibals and don't spit out bones!"

I walked in front of her.

“Mom, you said before that I was just an outsider and had no qualifications to manage the Chu family's affairs.”

Her cries were choked. I continue:

“Now that the outsider's mother bought that house... why did she start taking in relatives?”

People watching around burst into laughter. My mother-in-law raised her hand to hit me. As soon as the court security guard took a step forward, she immediately withdrew her hand. Zhou Kaiming finally opened his mouth.

“Tri Y… I really regret it.”

I looked at him. He had lost a lot of weight, leaving only a tired and haggard look in his eyes. If it were me in my previous life, who still wanted to keep the so-called family... Maybe I would ask him what he regrets. Regret never loving me? Regret not protecting your daughter? Or regret giving money to your younger brother? But now... No need anymore. I calmly said:

“What you regret is not losing me.”

“It's a loss of 6,000,000 yuan.”

Chu Khai Minh bowed his head and did not refute. In the end, the school district house was sold for 6,300,000 yuan. The day the money goes into my account, I don't buy a luxury car. Also don't buy a big house. The first thing I did was set up an education fund for Duong Duong. Then leave your parents an amount to support their old age. With the remaining money, I plan to buy a small house near the school. The door lock... Only belongs to my mother and me. On the opening day of the new kindergarten, Duong Duong ran into the classroom for the first time without turning around to look for me. The teacher asked the child:

“What do you like most?”

Duong Duong thought for a moment then replied:

“I like to see mom smile.”

I stood outside the door, almost unable to hold back my tears. She added another sentence:

“I like myself too.”

That moment, I knew... She would slowly get better. Later, Chu Khai Minh came to find me once. He was blocked by security outside the gate of the residential area. He said he wanted to meet Duong Duong. Duong Duong saw him through the car window and remained silent for a long time. Then she grabbed my hand.

“Mom… now I'm no longer afraid of not having a dad.”

I nodded.

“Then let's go home.”

The car slowly drove into the residential area. Sunlight falls on the windshield. Behind him, Chu Khai Minh was getting farther and farther away. After selling the old house, I only kept two things. A notice of school division. An old contract worth 500,000 yuan. Not to remember the Chu family. It's to remind yourself. Never again cover rotten people from the wind and rain. Don't give your daughter's life to a group of people who are not worthy of being family members. I used to think this was the end of the story. Until half a year later, lawyer Tan called me.

"Chu Khai Hang, in order to reduce his sentence... confessed something."

I held the phone and stood on the balcony of my new house.

“What?”

Lawyer Tan slowly said:

“On the road where she had an accident in her previous life, at the same location… there was an application to change the insurance beneficiary that was withdrawn.”

“The applicant is Zhou Kaiming.”

I lowered my head and looked downstairs. Duong Duong is carrying a small briefcase, running forward. The sunshine today is very beautiful. My hand tightened on the phone little by little. There wasn't just one person who wanted to take my life in my previous life. I laughed. Then good. There are some debts… 6,000,000 yuan is not enough to calculate everything.
