Chapter 4 — The whole family shares my money

“You… Why didn't you say anything?” “Why don't you tell me that every month you transfer 3,000 yuan of mine to my brother to pay for the house loan?” The room became quiet. Mother's face changed. Second uncle and aunt looked towards her at the same time. “Gui Lan, what is 3,000 yuan?” she asked. Mom opened her mouth. “It was… it was a family arrangement…” “A family arrangement?” I looked at her. "Ten years. 3,000 yuan each month. On the day mother received the money, she immediately transferred it all to To Loi. The content was 'Loi's house installment payment'. This amount alone was 420,000 yuan. Plus 120,000 yuan when my brother got married, 80,000 yuan when my mother had surgery, 60,000 yuan when my father was in the hospital, and other miscellaneous amounts. Over the past ten years, you have given me gave this family 670,000 yuan.” “The option everyone has for me is no.” The second uncle's face also changed. He stood up. “Que Lan, what exactly is this?” Mother's eyes turned red. “Don't listen to him…” “Second uncle.” I looked at him. "There's one more thing. To Loi used my name to borrow 50,000 yuan from you. I didn't tell him to borrow it. Now you know, right?" The second uncle nodded. "I went to talk to him. He said he would pay." "He also borrowed 50,000 yuan from you and 50,000 yuan from you. A total of 150,000 yuan. All in my name. You can't see a penny." Her face also turned pale. “Still.” "He forged my signature and borrowed 100,000 yuan from a person named Ly Duc Hau. The loan paper had my name on it, but it wasn't written by me." There was no longer any sound in the room. Mom sat on the sofa. Her hands are shaking. Not pretending. Maybe she really didn't know about signature forgery. But about 3,000 yuan, she knows. You may also know about borrowing 150,000 yuan in my name. “Daughter…” “Mom.” I picked up the agreement. “I did not sign this.” "You also have no right to ask me to share the compensation for the clearance." “Legally, this money has nothing to do with people.” I put the deal back on the table. “Everyone can go home now.” Mom didn't move. She looked at me. Tears fell. “Do you want to be so clear with your mother?” “It's not that I want to count.” “But everyone had planned ahead.” “Everyone formed a group, and it took five weeks to discuss how to divide the child's money.” “Everyone said: ‘The plan has been finalized, tell him to sign it, don't let him see the content.’” “Everyone said: ‘He's very soft-hearted, it's okay to cry to him a few times.’” “Everyone thought ahead.” “I just… learned how to calculate on my own.” Mom stood up. Tears are still falling. She looked at me, her lips trembling. Then took the agreement, turned around and left. The second uncle followed her. Before leaving, he looked at me. Say nothing. She walked to the door and stopped. “Love… My mother is not easy either…” “Auntie.” "That 150,000 yuan, I asked To Loi to ask for it. It wasn't you who borrowed it." She nodded. Leave. The door closes. I sat alone in the living room. Looking at the three cups of water on the tea table, no one was drinking. The phone rang. It's Hua Man's sister-in-law. I answered the phone. “To Tinh, today you made your mother lose face in front of your second uncle and aunt, what do you mean?” “What I mean is I didn't sign it.” "You didn't sign? Do you believe that..." She didn't have time to finish. On the phone came his brother's deliberately demeaning voice: "First, don't argue with him. I have a way." Then the call was disconnected. What way does he have? That evening, Chau Lam texted me. "You told me to follow the clearance office's announcement. I just saw something." She sent me a photo. Clearance office website. Notice confirming ownership of house number 3-602, Cam Vien area. Someone filed a protest petition. Content of objection: Claims that the house in To Tinh's name was purchased with the family's joint contributions. Petitioner: To Loi. He went to the clearance office. Want to add my name to my compensation. 6. I called Chau Lam. “Can he add his name?” "Impossible. Your ownership of the house is very clear. The purchase contract, loan contract, and repayment history are all in your name alone. He cannot provide evidence of contributing money to buy it together." “But he paid k

petition…” “Anyone can submit a petition. The clearance office will conduct an investigation. Only when the verification passes will it take effect. If it is not passed, it will be rejected.” “How long does it take?” “Normally seven to ten business days.” “He just wanted to buy time.” "Correct. But it didn't last too long.” “Chau Lam, help me do something.” “Say it.” “Using my name, submit a certificate of ownership to the clearance office. Attach the house purchase contract, loan contract, debt repayment history and household transfer certificate.” “Tell them to quickly reject the motion.” "Okay. I will submit it tomorrow.” “There's more. Help me draft two lawyer letters." “A copy sent to To Loi, requesting to handle the 250,000 yuan debt borrowed in my name.” "A copy sent to Ly Duc Hau, confirming the loan relationship has nothing to do with me." “Time limit of thirty days. If the payment is overdue, legal proceedings will be initiated.”
