Chapter 8 — The whole family shares my money

"The first version is related to impersonating To Tinh and borrowing 250,000 yuan. The processing time is thirty days." "The second copy, related to forging signatures to borrow money. Attached is a request for handwriting assessment. If we do not cooperate, we will report the case to the police." To Loi did not extend his hand. Two envelopes lay on the tea table in front of him. He stared at them. Eyes red. Sister-in-law sat next to her. She didn't cry. Gray face. It is unknown when "lawyer Trinh" secretly left. The living room was silent for a long time. Mom was the first to move. She stood up. Come towards me. “To Tinh…” “Mom.” “Mom once said: ‘He's so soft-hearted, it's okay to cry to him a few times.’” “Try it, Mom.” She stopped half a step away from me. The hand is halfway out. Then lower. Dad sat in his seat. Like ten years older. Finally, he spoke up. Very low voice. “So later… will you still come home?” I looked at him. "The day you tricked me into signing the paper relinquishing ownership of the house, did you ever think I would come home in the future?" He did not answer. "Today's matter has been clearly stated. Money needs to be demanded, I will demand it. Procedures need to be carried out, the lawyer will do it." “And what happens next?” I picked up my bag. "Wait until everyone pays all the money before continuing." I turned around and walked towards the door. When going to the door. Mom said something from behind. Not “come back”. It's referring to a person. “Your grandmother also has the same personality.” I stopped for a step. Don't turn around. Then leave. 9. Leave the old house. I sat in the car. Chau Lam sat in the passenger seat. I started the car. Drive out of town. Upon reaching the entrance to the highway. Chau Lam asked: "Are you okay?" "No problem." “The last thing your mother said…” “She said I looked like my grandmother.” “What kind of personality is your grandmother?” "When I was young, my grandmother was also asked to give all the money to her brothers in my mother's family. She didn't give it. My mother always thought that my grandmother was selfish." “Now your mother uses that phrase to say to you.” "YES." “What do you think?” “I feel like my grandmother did the right thing.” Chau Lam burst out laughing. Return to the city. I do three things. First, back up all evidence in two copies. One copy was given to Chau Lam. A cloud save. Second, call three relatives separately, confirming that they were present and heard everything. The three people's reactions were different. The second uncle said: "I know. I will make him pay your brother's 50,000 yuan." She said: "Love, you did the right thing. I support you." He was silent for a moment then said: "My mother didn't chase me today." "Yes." “She didn't chase.” Tuesday, I posted a message in the residents group. Very brief. "Regarding the false information about me that was previously spread by some people in the group, I would like to explain as follows: My house was personally purchased by me, I personally borrowed the money and paid the debt myself. The clearance compensation money is the legal property of the individual according to the law. The information that I 'did not take care of my parents' is not true. In the past ten years, I have transferred a total of 670,000 yuan to my parents and have a bank statement. "If someone continues to spread false information, I will take legal action." Done sending. No one answered. Half an hour later. Sister-in-law left the group. Two days later. Some news came one after another. It's not like I'm actively trying to find out. It was my cousin Tran Lo who told me. “My mother came home and closed the door for two days.” “My dad sat alone in the yard smoking drugs, not paying attention to anyone.” "My brothers are running around borrowing money. My sister-in-law argued with him, saying that she shouldn't have listened to him in the first place." "Second uncle came back and told everyone about this. Now all the relatives know." But I don't want to just hear those stories. I don't want my feeling of gloating to be built on the words "heard and said". I want to see it with my own eyes. Day three. I received a message. It was sent by my second uncle. "Tinh, my brother asked me and you to go to the tea shop in town to pay tomorrow. Are you coming?" “I'm coming.” 10. Tea shop in town. Shallow private room

h windows on the second floor. When I arrived, my second uncle and aunt were already present. He arrived a few minutes late. To Loi and her sister-in-law were the last to arrive. To Loi became thinner. Deeper eye sockets. Wrinkled clothes. In his hand he held a bag. Sit down. Don't look at me. “Second uncle, aunt, uncle.” He spoke up. Hoarse voice. "It was my fault that I used Tinh's name to borrow money. It has nothing to do with her." He took out three envelopes from his pocket. One envelope was given to the second uncle. A envelope was given to her. One envelope was given to him. "50,000 yuan, 50,000 yuan, 50,000 yuan. Everyone count." The second uncle opened the envelope. Count briefly. "Enough." “Not enough.” To Loi said. He took out a set of keys from his pocket again. Car keys. Place on the table. "The car has been sold. Sold for 58,000 yuan. Plus the loan, first pay off 150,000 yuan for everyone." He looked at the keys.
