"Staying" in my house

That day, Ms. Le was working when she received a call from her sister-in-law. As soon as Ms. Le picked up the phone, Ms. Thuy said urgently:

- Auntie, come home now, quickly, it's very important!

- I'm working, can you talk to me on the phone?

- Oh my god, what are you still doing at the company? If you don't come back soon, you won't even have a house to live in.

- What do you mean? I don't understand. Can you explain it more clearly?

- As for Mr. Hao, the creditors have come to collect the debt at his house. And there are several of them. They are forcing him to hand over the house papers. Everyone is still trying to stop them from doing anything rash. You should call your aunt, but he won't dare call you. You should go home and settle it right away!

Hearing her sister-in-law say that, Ms. Le's ears buzzed. She sat down on the chair. She knew her husband's personality, he had always been a bit of a playboy. There was a time when he even took all her savings from the safe. But after that time, he repented and promised her that he would not play around anymore to take care of the family. And it was true, every month he still regularly gave her his salary to spend, only keeping a little for himself. She also noticed that he never left early and came home late. It was just that since the EURO season, he often went out to watch, when she asked, he said he was at a friend's house to watch, so she didn't look into it anymore. However, when the season ended, she received this "thunderbolt" news.

Seeing Ms. Le's absent-minded expression after finishing the phone call, not bothering to stand up, her female colleagues guessed that she had some family matters so they tried to comfort her. Only then did she come to her senses and asked her colleagues to help report to the manager so she could run home because of an urgent matter.

When she got home, the house was very quiet, only Mr. Hoa and his wife, Ms. Thuy and her husband were sitting together. When Mr. Hoa saw his sister-in-law coming home, he immediately said:

- Now, Uncle Hao, tell her the whole story.

- What else can I say now? I've been playing around, I'm in debt, now even if I sell my house I probably won't be able to pay it all off. I regret it so much!

Having said that, Mr. Hao scratched his head. Ms. Le burst into tears when she heard her husband say that:

- Oh my god, whatever you do, you have to think about your wife and children. Are you really going to let your wife and children live on the street?

- Aunt Le, calm down. We have already had a serious talk with Uncle Hao. We have also asked all the creditors to leave so we can resolve it tomorrow. As for Uncle Hao's matter, we are brothers in arms. The house our uncle and aunt built on the land our parents left us, we do not want outsiders to buy it. We have a little capital so we decided to borrow more to buy this house. Then we will rent it out to him so he can live there, he does not have to move out. But the important thing is that Uncle Hao must really change and will Aunt Le agree to forgive him?

- I'm also very upset, this is not the first time he has made a mistake. Last time he promised to change and this time it's even worse. What do you think I should do to make him trust me again?

- Honey, I really don't dare ask you for forgiveness anymore. I know I was so wrong. I just hope you think of the children and give me another chance.

Then Mr. Hao turned to Mr. Hoa and his wife:

- You have created conditions, if my wife agrees to forgive me, I will try to work hard and save money to redeem the house as soon as possible.

- There, Uncle Hao said so, you two should discuss it together, if you come to an agreement, please let us know. Either way, I will buy your house. Now let's go home so you two can talk.

Looking at the backs of her brother and his wife leaving, Ms. Le felt very sad. She did not know if she could trust her husband again. But now, in order not to affect her children's lives, she had no other choice but to stay in "her own house".
