Chapter 2 — Traffic Violation Revealed Tieu Tam, I Sent My Husband To Jail

At six o'clock the next morning, Chu Kien Quan was still sleeping. I got up to make breakfast. Fried eggs, hot milk, toast. At half past seven, he woke up, finished eating and went out. Before leaving, he turned around at the mysterious gate:

“I'm still working overtime tonight, no need to wait.”

The door closes. I finished washing the dishes. Then open the drawer in his office. The car key is inside. Right next to the key is a parking ticket. Marriott Hotel, parking time was eleven twenty last night. I took a photo of the ticket and saved it in the "Documents" album. Then put the key back in place. At nine o'clock, I went down to the apartment management office.

"Dear, my car was stolen last night. Can we use the camera for you?"

The employee was very enthusiastic and quickly opened last night's recording. I saw Chu Kien Quan's car leave the apartment complex at nine o'clock at night. The person in the passenger seat... was the chestnut haired girl. She got in the car at the east gate of the apartment complex. Right outside the gate there is a milk tea shop. I thanked the manager and went straight there.

“Boss, I want to ask about someone.”

I showed him the photo of the girl.

“Ah, this girl, she comes often.”

“Live nearby?”

“In the building opposite, my boyfriend rented the house to me.”

“What does your boyfriend look like?”

The boss thought for a moment.

“Approximately forty years old, drives a black Passat, wears glasses.”

Chu Kien Quan drove the correct black Passat. Also wears glasses.

“Are you coming to pick her up?”

“Two or three times a week or something.”

I bought a glass of milk tea, thank you boss. Leave the shop, stand on the side of the road and conveniently throw the cup of tea into the trash can. On the way home, I stopped by the bank. Print the family's joint account statement. For a year now, every month a fixed amount of eight thousand yuan has been transferred to an account named "Duong Diem". The transfer note is: “Rent.” I don't have any apartments to rent in my house. I folded up the statement and put it in my pocket. When I got home, I turned on the computer. Create a new folder. Name: “Divorce”. Violation messages, parking tickets, camera photos, bank statements... I put them all in there. Then open the marriage law. Read and take notes. At twelve noon, my mother-in-law called.

"Uyen Uyen, are you free this afternoon? Mom has packed dumplings, come over and eat."

“Okay mom, I'll be right over.”

I turned off the computer. Change clothes and go out. In the elevator, I opened the photo album. Stare at that offending photo. On the girl's V-shaped finger... there was a ring. It's the ring I lost last year. My mother-in-law's house is next door, a ten-minute walk away. When I arrived, Chu Kien Huy was also present. The table was filled with dumplings filled with chives and eggs.

“Sister-in-law is here.”

Chu Kien Huy pulled out a chair for me. I sat down. The mother-in-law came out of the kitchen and placed a plate of vinegar on the table.

“Uyen Uyen, what happened last night… Mom, please explain to me.”

“Just say it, Mom.”

"Kien Huy is so old that he met a girlfriend. That girl has a lively personality, don't take it to heart."

I picked up a dumpling.

“I don't care.”

“That's good, that's good.”

Chu Kien Huy sat next to him, his face bewildered.

“Mom, what girlfriend?”

The mother-in-law glared at him.

“What are you pretending to do anymore, Miss Tieu Duong?”

“I don't know anyone named Tieu Duong.”

Her expression immediately changed.

“Kien Huy, don't talk nonsense.”

“I'm really not used to it.”

I slowly chewed the dumplings. Mom My husband looked at me, then looked at Chu Kien Huy.

“Didn't you drive your brother's car out last night?”

"I'm not driving, mom. Last night I was at an internet cafe playing games. I didn't get home until three in the morning."

She opened her mouth and was speechless. I put down my chopsticks.

“Mom, the dumplings are really delicious.”

She reluctantly smiled.

“If it's delicious, eat a little more.”

“Mom, I asked you something.”

“You ask.”

“Has Kien Quan said anything to mom about work recently?”

“He didn't say much, just said he was busy.”

I picked up another dumpling.

“So did he ever borrow money from his mother?”

Her movements of picking up food stopped.

“Yes… I borrowed it once, saying the company needed to rotate capital.”

“How much?”

“Twenty thousand.”

I nodded.

“When did it happen?”

“Last month.”

“Have you paid yet?”

I smiled faintly.

“Mom, you probably won't get this money back.”

The mother-in-law firmly put down her chopsticks.

“Uyen Uyen, what do you mean by that?”

“It doesn't mean anything.”

“Did you come today just to talk about these things?”

“I came to eat dumplings.”

Chu Kien Huy sat next to him, feeling uneasy.

“Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you guys?”

I looked at him.

“Kien Huy, the girl last night… isn't really your girlfriend?”

“It's true, sister-in-law, I swear it.”

I nodded.

“That's good.”

I finished the last dumpling.

“Mom, I'll go home first, I have work this afternoon.”

“Yuan Uyen…”

“Mom, don't think too much, I'm fine.”

I stood up and went to the door. Behind him, the mother-in-law's voice was heard scolding Chu Kien Huy:

"My brother asked me to take on the temporary title but I can't do it, what else can I do!"

I stood in the hallway and listened for three seconds. Then burst out laughing.
