Chapter 2 — Three Hundred Twenty Eight Yuan Card

Duong Thien Tuong pouted, then withdrew his head behind the phone screen. For a moment, no one said anything in the private room. The youngest boy, Duong Kien Quan, sat in the corner near the window. From the beginning, he only ate with his head bowed. He finally put down his chopsticks.

“Eldest brother gave Niem An this gift, who here wouldn't acknowledge it?”

He looked at Duong Kien Hoa, then turned to look at my mother.

"But your suggestion... is not too much. If you make it clear, everyone will feel secure."

Duong Kien Hoa stared at Duong Kien Quan for two seconds, then snorted coldly through his nose. The atmosphere was silent for about seven or eight seconds. He suddenly slammed the table hard, causing the wine glass to bounce.

"Go to the bank tomorrow! I'll let you see with your own eyes to see if this Duong Kien Hoa keeps what he said!"

“3,280,000 yuan, I won't miss you for even one penny!”

He jerked his chin toward the entire table of relatives.

"Everyone, listen carefully! Tomorrow morning at the Industry and Trade Bank branch, anyone who is interested can come and see!"

“Go, go, whoever is free can see you.”

The fourth aunt smiled wryly and fought the fire. The atmosphere finally calmed down a bit. Duong Kien Hoa raised his glass and drank in one gulp, then wiped his mouth.

"Come on, come on, stop sitting around, eat, eat. We must clean this table today!"

The party was truly lavish. Lobster with garlic sauce, chicken stewed with velvet pine mushrooms, steamed grouper, fried rice with black truffle mushrooms... If this table is no less than six or seven thousand yuan, you definitely won't be able to get down. All were personally called by Duong Kien Hoa. He said he was happy today.

“This Niem An.”

The fourth aunt was holding chopsticks, halfway across the table, still trying to call out to me.

“When you come to Beijing later, don't forget your poor relatives.”

“No, fourth aunt.”

“I heard Thanh Hoa's canteen is very good.”

The second aunt also immediately chimed in.

"The money my uncle gave her is enough to last her until she graduates!"

I just smiled faintly. Do not respond. I zipped my backpack a little tighter. The other bank card is in a secret compartment inside the bag. The meal lasted more than two hours. Most of the time, Duong Kien Hoa talked endlessly, talking about how his car dealership had just won the exclusive dealer rights for a new brand, and was preparing to open two more branches.

"After graduation, Niem An wants to stay in Beijing, so my big uncle also bought me a house there."

“The Duong family will sooner or later have to put down roots in the capital.”

Relatives immediately responded.

“Mr. Kien Hoa's vision is truly different from others.”

“So Thien Tuong also went there?”

“What are you going to do?”

Tien Le Binh blamed love on her lips, but the proud look on her face was almost impossible to hide.

"If Thien Tuong studies hard, Thanh Hoa won't have a chance."

Duong Thien Tuong rolled his eyes and muttered:

“Mom, can you please let me go?”

By the time the party ended, it was completely dark. It's almost ten o'clock at night. Duong Kien Hoa was so drunk from Ngu Luong Dich that he staggered. Tien Le Binh and Duong Thien Tuong each helped him.

"Tu Van! Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, Industry and Trade Bank branch! Don't be late!"

When he reached the restaurant door, he turned around and shouted loudly.

“It's not late, big brother.”

My mother calmly replied. Tien Le Binh called a car. The whole family of three squeezed into the back seat. The car window rolled down, Duong Thien Tuong stuck half his body out and called out with on my side:

"Hua Niem An! Once you enter Thanh Hoa, don't just study! Remember to make some rich friends for your big boy!"

The car quickly sped away. The bright red taillight flashed once and then disappeared into the night. The other relatives also dispersed one by one, groups of five and three going in different directions. In the end, only me, my mother and my youngest son's family remained. My youngest aunt, Truong Tu Lan, gently pulled my mother's sleeve, then walked with her to a hidden corner where the streetlight did not shine. The youngest aunt is a very quiet person. He always had a gentle and sincere look on his face.

“Are you really planning to go to the bank tomorrow?”

“Actually… it's not necessary.”

The youngest aunt's face was full of awkwardness.

"You still don't know what your eldest brother's personality is like? Going to test him in front of everyone like that... is like slapping him in the face."

“Whether he's happy or not is his business.”

"Money cannot be vague. Tu Lan, you understand me."

The youngest aunt sighed. At that moment, the youngest boy Duong Kien Quan drove a small truck that had driven more than a hundred thousand kilometers.

“Sister, let me take you and your mother home.”

“No need, just walk a few steps and you'll be there.”

“It's too dark.”

The youngest boy is still determined. My mother didn't refuse anymore. We got in the car. The spring in the back seat had collapsed a bit, and as soon as I sat down, my whole body sank down completely. The youngest boy turned on the car lights and slowly drove forward. He looked at my mother in the rearview mirror.

“The eldest brother's personality... you know.”

“I know.”

"Don't strain yourself too much. It's not worth it."

“Kien Quan, you know your own moderation.”

The car stopped in front of the apartment complex gate. When we got off the bus, the youngest boy said another sentence.

“Sister, no matter what the outcome is tomorrow, if anything happens to you and Niem An, just look for me.”

My mother nodded slightly. When I got home, before I could wash my face, the doorbell rang. I looked at the phone. Ten: forty p.m. Mom frowned slightly and went to open the door. Standing outside is Tien Le Binh. She had changed into her home clothes, but her makeup was still intact, her sharp eyeliner was not out of place at all. In his hand, he was also carrying an exquisitely packaged gift bag.

“Tu Van, you're still here late at night to bother me.”

She smiled and handed the bag over.

"I packed a few dishes from the restaurant. I thought we wouldn't be able to eat much when we got home, so I gave them to Niem An to eat."

“Sister-in-law is too polite.”

My mother took the bag and leaned over to let her into the house. As soon as Tien Le Binh walked in, he quickly glanced around the living room. Old double sofa.
