Chapter 18 — Three Weeks of Closure

But Tham Ngoc Cam did not say a single word of support for him. Ha Minh Vien also just stood nearby, as if watching an adult who had to take responsibility for his own actions. When Luc Thua Binh followed the police downstairs, his steps were wobbly and tired. He never thought that a spare key would become an accounting issue. At the police station, he clearly stated the time, place, and reason for taking the key. The police officer asked him. "Does the homeowner know about this?" Luc Thua Binh was silent for a long time. "Don't know." The police asked again. "Do you know that this key was then used many times to enter the house?" Luc Thua Binh's voice was bitter. "Don't know." "But the key was given to me." The person taking the record looked up and glanced at him. The police's tone was not loud, but it was like a hammer hitting him straight in the heart. "Just because a husband and wife live together, does not mean they can arbitrarily take over the right to use the house in the other person's name." "Regarding the fact that your father later entered the house and brought things with him, we will continue to verify." "Your side must also bear the corresponding responsibility." Luc Thua Binh lowered his head. "I know." When he walked out of the police station, it was already dusk. dark. His phone was piled up with messages. Luc Duc Hai scolded him for being cowardly. Truong My Quyen urged him to go to the hotel to pay. Luc Xuan Mai cried and said her child had a fever and told him to bring money for food. Vuong Chi Cuong's younger brother also sent a voice message, his tone was sarcastic and sour. "Brother-in-law was sent to the police station by your wife, so being your brother-in-law is too idle." Luc Thua Binh stared at those messages, suddenly so exhausted that he didn't bother to get angry anymore. In the past, whenever these people spoke up, he was always used to looking for Ha Ninh. Bao Ha Ninh cooks rice. Bao Ha Ninh buys tobacco. Bao Ha Ninh advanced money. Bao Ha Ninh humbled himself. Now that Ha Ninh is not present, he only knows that those so-called family relationships turned out to be all hands reaching into his pocket and his life. He took a car to the hotel. Luc Xuan Mai's family crammed into a double room and a single room. The three children ran frantically down the hallway, almost crashing into the cleaning cart. Truong My Quyen hugged Tieu Bao and sat outside the door, her face sullen. "You still know how to show your face?" Luc Thua Binh did not answer. Luc Xuan Mai rushed out of the room, his eyes as puffy as walnuts. "Thua Binh, what is your brother-in-law's plan over there?" "They said he had to pay, but what if his records were kept?" "What face will he have to act as a human being in the future?" "Go beg Ha Ninh." "As long as she loosens her grip, this will be over." Luc Thua Binh withdrew his arm. "You, your sister-in-law stole Ha Ninh's ring." Luc Xuan's expression looked on. Mai quickly disappeared. "Don't talk harshly like that." "He just borrowed it temporarily to get by." Luc Thua Binh glared at her. "Taking someone else's things, without consent, is stealing." The room was suddenly silent. Luc Duc Hai sat in a chair, his face dark and gloomy. "You went to the police station today, to learn how to come back here to teach your sister?" Luc Thua Binh looked at him. "Dad, I shouldn't have given that key to you." "But you also shouldn't have taken Ha Ninh's things." Luc Duc Hai slapped the table. "His house?" "We've been married for six years, isn't his money the money of this house?" "If I take a few things, I'll do it." Why?" For the first time, Luc Thua Binh did not yield. "She paid the house loan." "The down payment was paid by her parents." "Those things were also bought by her." "If you don't ask her, you're not allowed to take it." Luc Duc Hai angrily stood up and pointed straight at his nose. "Treason."

"You're because of a woman, and even your father doesn't want to accept her anymore." The corners of Luc Thua Binh's eyes turned red. "It's not that I don't recognize my father." "It's that I don't want people to continue to see her as an unpaid nanny, a cash machine, a warehouse that can come in and out if you want." Truong My Quyen's voice was high-pitched. "What's the use of you saying these things now?" "Who pays for the hotel money?" "The children's food money." Who bought it?" "Who will pay your brother-in-law's compensation?" Luc Thua Binh looked around at the people in the room and suddenly burst into laughter. That smile was even more ugly than a smile. "So everyone called me here, not because they wanted to solve the problem." "But because they wanted me to continue to pressure Ha Ninh." No one spoke. But everyone's expression replaced the answer. Luc Thua Binh turned around and was about to leave. Luc Xuan Mai was frantic. "You go away." Then what should we do?" Luc Thua Binh stopped at the door. "Everyone has their own house." "It's not necessary to go to Ha Ninh's house to avoid the heat." Luc Duc Hai conveniently picked up a cup of tea and threw it straight at him. The cup grazed his shoulder, broke on the door frame, fragments scattered all over the floor. Luc Thua Binh did not look back. He walked out of the hotel, the sound of cursing still continued. constantly following behind.
