Chapter 15 — Three Thousand Yuan Every Month, In Return The Whole Family Is Ruined

Surely Chu Tinh has told everything. The eyes the two people looked at me... were no longer relatives. It's the enemy. As if I had killed something of theirs. During the meal, Chu Minh suddenly spoke up. For the first time since AA, he took the initiative to talk to me.

“Tham Duyet, let's talk.”

Hoarse, deep, heavy voice. I put down my chopsticks.

“What?”

“Divorce matter.”

I paused for a moment, but remained calm on the outside.

“Do you think it's clear?”

He nodded, his eyes blank.

“I agree to divorce.”

“But there is one condition.”

I raised my eyebrows.

“Let's try it.”

He looked at me, every word clear.

“This house… must be divided in half by me.”

I was stunned. Then burst out laughing. Really laugh.

“Chu Minh, are you crazy?”

“I'm serious!”

He was suddenly agitated.

"Even though it's pre-marital property, for the past three years we've been living together here, according to the law I have the right to request a division!"

Where do you say it? Obviously went to ask a lawyer. I looked at him. I find it so funny that it makes me cold.

“Chu Minh, who gave you that confidence?”

“Is that your lawyer?”

“Or… your mistress?”

Hit straight. His expression immediately changed. Vuong Lan next to him also raised his head in surprise.

“Chu Minh… is he telling the truth?”

“You have someone else?”

Chu Minh did not answer his mother. Just looked at me, his eyes shocked.

“You… when did you know?”

I took a sip of water, my voice light.

“If you don't want people to know... unless you don't do it.”

I put down the cup and looked straight at him.

“Chu Minh, I give you one last chance.”

“Sign the divorce papers.”

“Leave empty-handed.”

“If not…”

I stopped for a beat. The voice lowered. But the color is colder.

“I will submit all evidence of your adultery to the court.”

“It's not enough…”

I smiled softly.

“I will print pictures of you two.”

“Sent to your company.”

“Send it to her company.”

“Send to both parents.”

“Let everyone see… how ‘nice’ you two are.”

The whole space seemed frozen. Chu Minh trembled. Face turned white. He knows. I'm not threatening.

“Tham Duyet…”

His voice was hoarse.

“Do you have to push me to the end like that?”

“It was you guys… who forced me to the end first.”

I put down the glass of water, stood up, my voice calm and cold.

“I gave you a chance, not just once.”

"It's me... who doesn't know how to keep it."

“Now, the game is over.”

I looked at him one last time, turned and walked straight back to my room. I know, he will sign. Because compared to money... the thing he's more afraid of losing is his face. And also the so-called future. The next morning. When I walked out, the divorce agreement was lying on the tea table. Below... is Chu Minh's signature. The handwriting is distorted and crooked, just like the mood of the signer. I picked it up and flipped to the last page. Write your name. Tham Duyet. Each line is clear and neat. From today, I am free. Just as I was about to put it away... Vuong Lan's door opened. She rushed out like a mad animal, her hand raised high... the cleaver shining.

"Tham Duyet! Vandal!"

"You ruined my child! You ruined my whole family!"

“Today I will drag you to death together!”

The cold knife was less than twenty centimeters from my eyes. I clearly see every dent on the blade. Her eyes... were no longer human. Just madness. I backed away hard, hitting the dining table. The glass fell and broke. The knife grazed my cheek. Cold wind cut skin. She screamed, raised the knife and slashed down again. She really wanted to kill me. I rolled to the ground, narrowly avoiding it. The blade slashed onto the table, leaving a deep gash. I crawled up, grabbed the chair, and blocked it in front of me.

"Vuong Lan! Are you crazy? Murder is illegal!"

“France what!”

She laughed hysterically, pressing forward step by step.

"My child is gone! The house is gone! I have nothing to fear!"

“If I die, I have to drag you with me!”

The knife was raised again. I use a chair for support.

“POP! BOOP!”

The wood shattered, my hands trembled. My strength... is no match for someone who is going crazy. The chair was pressed down little by little. Her face grew closer and closer. Foul breath blew into my face. I started to despair. Maybe… I will die here? The room door burst open. Chu Minh rushed out.

“Mom！What are you doing! Put down the knife!”

“Get away!”

“Let me kill this bitch!”

“Wake up!”

He rushed forward and grabbed the knife. The two struggled and screamed.

“I have to kill it!”

“You stop!”
