Chapter 6 — Thirty Years Later, We Brought Mom Home

I calmly continued:

"Before noon tomorrow, bring my mother's jewelry box here."

"If not..."

"I will immediately file a request to freeze assets."

"At the same time, transfer all files to the economic investigation agency."

Tham Gia Thu sneered.

"Who are you threatening?"

"My mother didn't take anything from you guys!"

At that moment... Outside the gate of the ancestral house, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard. A middle-aged woman pushed the door and entered. In her hand she also carried a shopping basket. As soon as she saw the whole room full of people, she immediately froze. I recognized her immediately. It's Aunt Phuong. The family's old maid. Compared to my memories... She has aged a lot. Back bent down. His hands were full of cracks due to the years. As soon as he saw her, Tham Ngoc Nhu's face immediately changed.

"What are you doing here?"

Aunt Phuong tightened the handle of the basket.

"Mrs. Tham..."

"It was you who told me to come clean the west house today."

Tham Ngoc Nhu shouted loudly:

"Get out!"

I stood up.

"Aunt Phuong."

She looked at me. In just a blink of an eye, his eyes turned red.

"...Eldest Miss?"

That way of addressing me... Made my heart suddenly tighten. I walked in front of her.

"Do you know where the jewelry box is?"

Aunt Phuong's lips trembled slightly. She instinctively glanced at Tham Ngoc Nhu. Tham Ngoc Nhu also immediately stood up.

"What does a maid know?"

Unexpectedly... Aunt Phuong suddenly put down the basket. Then he took out an old envelope from inside. She raised her head to look at me.

"I know."

Tham Ngoc Nhu's face... Immediately turned pale. Aunt Phuong looked at me, her voice trembling.

"Thirty years ago..."

"After the lady passed away..."

"Mrs. Tham told me to bring the black jewelry box to Van Giang Cong Quan."

"I secretly kept a piece of paper that fell out from the secret compartment at the bottom of the box."

She gave me the envelope.

"Eldest Miss..."

"I was waiting for you to return..."

"For thirty years."

I opened the envelope. Inside... Is a copy of the real estate ownership certificate that has discolored over time. The owner's name is clearly written. Real estate address... Apartment on the 28th floor, building number 1, Van Giang Cong Quan. Tham Gia Thu immediately rushed forward to rob him. Tri Chau used only one hand to lock his wrist. I bowed my head and looked at the paper in my hand. The apartment overlooking the river that Tham Ngoc Nhu has lived in for thirty years... is also my mother's property. Tham Gia Thu was in so much pain that there was no blood left on his face.

"Let go!"

Tri Chau calmly let him go. Tham Gia Thu staggered back a few steps, his whole body hitting the back of the chair. Tham Ngoc Nhu immediately supported his son, looking at the three of us full of resentment.

"Hua Tri Chanh."

"Don't be too harsh."

I gave a copy of the house ownership certificate to Tri Dao.

"Check registration documents."

Tri Dao opened the computer in advance and connected to the network using the Wi-Fi transmitter he brought. From childhood to adulthood... She always works quickly. Ten minutes later. Tri Dao raised his head.

"Apartment on the 28th floor, building number 1, Van Giang Cong Quan..."

"Currently under the name Tham Gia Thu."

"The time of name transfer was twenty-seven years ago."

"Reason for registration change..."

"It was given to me."

She turned the computer screen towards everyone.

"The giver..."

"It's Tham Ngoc Nhu."

Aunt Phuong spoke softly:

"That house was previously left to me by my wife great lady."

"Madam once said..."

"In the future, if Ms. Tri Chanh gets married and feels sorry for herself..."

"At least there's still a place to return to."

I quietly looked at the information displayed on the screen. The place my mother left for me... So that every time I feel sad, I have a place to return to. In the end... They used it as a home for their stepmother's son. Tham Gia Thu is still stubborn.

"If the house is in my name, it's mine!"

"What can you do with a photocopy?"

Tri Dao calmly replied:

"Is it effective or not..."

"You'll know when you go to court."

Tham Ngoc Nhu looked at me. Suddenly the voice calmed down.

"Tri Chanh..."

"About this house..."

"I can explain."

I looked at her. She was silent for two seconds before speaking.

"That year Hoanh Vien said..."

"The children have gone abroad, they will never come back again."

"An empty house is also empty."

"Gia Thu still has to go to school and needs a stable place to live."

"I just..."

"Let's borrow it first."

I ask again:

"For twenty-seven years?"

The corner of Tham Ngoc Nhu's lips twitched slightly.

"And what about changing the name later..."

"I don't know."

"It's all arranged by Hoanh Vien."
