Chapter 13 — Winning 5.8 Million Yuan Lottery, I Just Told My Parents I Won 200,000 Yuan

As soon as she entered, her aunt burst into tears, blaming her mother for turning away and not recognizing her biological sister. Uncle Hai insisted that the commitment was just a joke and had no intention of forcing me to comply. The cousin said again... The paper bag was not brought by him. He only helped print the commitment. Reading that... I just laughed coldly. No one person does it all directly. Each person... Just do a little bit. But when all those "little" pieces are put together... It becomes a complete knife. My lawyer friend advised me absolutely not to return to my hometown.

"It'll be safer out there."

"Let your father coordinate with the authorities."

"You retain the right to request processing."

"Don't say forgiveness out of respect."

I did exactly as she said. Dad called again. He said the police extracted the camera from the printing shop in town. Yesterday afternoon... It was my cousin who came to print that commitment. Auntie provides all the content. Uncle Hai hired someone to deliver the paper bag to my door. Is the person who sent my signature photo. The entire chain of evidence... Completely matched. There is no longer a gap. In the police office. No one cries anymore. Because everyone understands... Crying is useless.

"What did they say?"

Dad's voice is very heavy.

"They asked your mother to call you."

"Tell me not to pursue it."

I asked again:

"So what's your answer?"

Dad stopped for a few seconds. Then slowly say:

"Dad said..."

"This time..."

"Anyone asking for help is useless."

The corners of my eyes suddenly felt hot. But right after that... Dad said one more sentence.

"It's just..."

"Your mother fainted."

I jumped up from the chair.

"Is it serious?"

"Brought to the town hospital."

"The doctor said she was overly agitated."

"I haven't eaten anything since morning."

My hand stopped in mid-air. I know... I also know that this time you are so wrong that you can't justify it. But hearing the news that she had to be hospitalized... My heart still felt like someone was tugging at it. I took a deep breath.

"Dad stays with mom."

"I'll transfer the hospital fees."

Dad said softly:

"No need."

"Dad still has money."

The call hasn't ended yet. Suddenly, from the hospital room, the high-pitched voice of the aunt was heard.

"If Gia Gia really puts us in jail..."

"Then my sister-in-law shouldn't live anymore."

"It's all because your daughter forced you to this point!"

My aunt's words transmitted through the phone made my hand tighten. Immediately after that, my father's voice became lower.

"Shut up."

But the aunt seemed to be clinging to the last straw, crying harder and harder.

"What should I shut up?"

"My wife was so forced by her own daughter that she had to be hospitalized."

"Isn't it just over a million yuan?"

"He won so much money, can he die if he takes out a little?"

Over the phone, I heard someone speak out to stop me. Also heard the sound of bed frames hitting each other. From far away came the mother's weak voice.

"Don't talk anymore."

The aunt immediately rushed to the hospital bed.

"Look at me."

"Even now, I still defend him."

"I lost all face in front of my relatives because of it."

"What about it?"

"He insisted on taking us to the police station."

Dad put the phone away a bit. But I still hear it clearly. Uncle Hai also raised his voice.

"It's already gotten to this point."

"No one can save face anymore."

"I told Gia Gia to withdraw the application."

"We promise that from now on we won't mention this again."

I smiled softly. Promise? Last night over... Mom also promised the same thing.

"My mouth is tighter than a safe."

As a result, the next morning... Eight people were crowded in front of my house. I calmly told my father:

"Turn on speakerphone for me."

The other end of the line was silent for a few seconds. Dad didn't ask why. After a while, he replied: I sat by the hotel window. The voice was strangely calm.

"I heard everything clearly."

The whole hospital room immediately fell silent. A moment later, the aunt raised her sobbing voice again.

"Gia Gia..."

"My mother is in this situation."

"Do you still have the heart to make plans with us?"

"My mother was hospitalized..."

"I will take responsibility."

"But the thing about people forging my signature..."

"There must also be responsibility."

Auntie immediately shouted.

"Who's fake?"

"It was just a try."

"I didn't take it to the bank."

"It's not even filed in court."

I asked continuously:

"So why hire someone to bring it to my door?"

"Why is the amount 1.2 million yuan?"

"Why did you sign my name?"

"And why don't you dare tell me directly?"

Auntie choked up. Uncle Hai immediately intervened.

"Don't cling to words."

"We just want you to understand our relatives' difficult situation."

I ask in return:

"Everyone's difficult situation..."

"Do I have to use fake documents to speak?"

His cousin standing next to him sneered.

"You're talking so methodically now."

"Isn't it because you have money?"

"If you have money, do you want to push your relatives into a corner?"

I opened the other phone. Quietly continue recording.

"Yesterday it was you who asked to post on social networks, saying that I felt like I couldn't be saved."

"Last night, I participated in printing fake commitments."

"Now turn around and tell me to force you."

"If your store also does business this way..."

"No wonder there's always a lack of capital."
