Chapter 11 — Two Houses and One Border

The air-conditioned wind blew from above my head, but I felt a layer of cold sweat on my palms. Manh Dao was in such a hurry that he walked back and forth in the room. “Are they crazy?” “What good will it do them to spread the story about your winning prize?” I looked at the dark sky outside the window. "Have." “Force me to go back.” “Turn this into a bad thing in the house that the whole village knows about.” “For my parents to be questioned, for me to have a reputation for being unfilial.” “After that, they acted as mediators and forced me to get money to settle the matter.” Manh Dao gritted his teeth. “So dirty.” I called lawyer Tham. After listening, he only said one sentence. “Now we need to do two things.” “First, fix the evidence that Tan Phuong spread the information.” “Second, before they make up stories, use legal methods to clearly state your position.” I asked: “How is it presented?” “Lawyer letter, police report receipt, notice prohibiting on-site harassment, declaration of personal information infringement.” “Send it to a few key people in the Tang family, and also send it to the village committee.” I was silent for a bit. “Will the village committee manage it?” Lawyer Tham said: "It will not necessarily be managed." “But after they receive the official documents, at least they will not dare to easily help the Tang family diffuse.” This sentence reminds me. I looked for the number of the chairman of the village committee in my hometown. That was the number left behind when my father was in the hospital, and the other person helped make the confirmation. As soon as the phone was connected, the other person was clearly surprised. “Duong Hoa?” I get straight to the point. “Director Chu, there may be someone in my family who is spreading personal information and the situation of my assets in the village.” “I reported to the police and also contacted a lawyer.” "If someone uses the name of the village to summon relatives or villagers to discuss my private matters, please do not participate." The other side was stunned for a few seconds. “Tieu Hoa, your eldest uncle did come to my house just now.” My heart sank. “What did he say?” "He said I won a big sum, avoiding my parents and not accepting the house." "And said he wanted to call all the elders from their church so I could give you an explanation." Indeed. Duong The Xuong's movements were faster than I thought. My voice stabilized. “I don't owe my family money.” "Today they came to my company with fake debt papers to cause chaos, the police station has recorded it." “They also illegally took my address and real estate information.” "I'll send you the documents now, please see clearly." Director Chu's voice changed. “Is this still the case?” I said: “Yes.” “If there is someone in the village who is provoked by them to come to the provincial capital to find me, or spread my address, I will pursue them together.” Director Chu immediately said: "I sent it, please look first." After hanging up the phone, I arranged the documents that could be sent into images, covered up my identification and specific house numbers, and kept only key evidence. Not long after sending it, Director Chu replied with two words. “Received.” Then he added another sentence. “Don't go home yet.” I looked at this sentence and understood in my heart. It was starting to get windy in the countryside. At two o'clock in the morning, I finally got some sleep. But before six o'clock, Manh Dao called me up. “Tang Hoa, the village group exploded.” She gave me the phone. In the photo of the group chat, Duong The Xuong sent a long paragraph. He said that after I won the prize, he did not recognize my parents and arbitrarily bought a house and transferred assets. He said that during these years my parents raised me to study and scraped up all the wealth in the house. He said the Duong family did not mistreat me, and now I want to force my biological parents to death. Finally, he sent a photo of my back at the reward center. Below the photo is written text. “People cannot forget their ancestors.” I looked at that ancestral sentence and suddenly wasn't angry anymore. Because he's in a hurry. It's so urgent that even the source of the evidence can't hide it. I told Manh Dao to save all the screenshots. Then send it to lawyer Tham and the police. At eight o'clock in the morning, lawyer Tham's letter was sent. At eight twenty, the head of the village committee sent a paragraph to the group. “Without your consent, spreading other people's identity, address, and property information may violate the law.” “Family conflicts must not affect work, etc

Ah, other people's normal lives." “Please do not forward unverified content.” There was a short silence in the group. But very quickly, my uncle-in-law jumped out. "People in the village decide, a girl has money and can't take care of her parents, and the law can't control her conscience." Ha Ngoc Mai also sent a sentence. “Tieu Hoa, I just want you to come back and explain clearly.” I stared at her sentence, my finger hanging on the screen. This time, I wasn't silent. I directly sent the first sentence in the group. “I will explain clearly.” “But not in their church, nor in the weeping display you arranged.” “At three o'clock this afternoon, village committee office, video call.” “The village chief, the police, and the lawyer were all present.” “Whoever says I owe money, that person has to show evidence.” The group immediately became quiet. A few seconds later, Duong Khai sent a word. “Okay.” Immediately after that, he sent a private message again.
