After that decision that made everyone admire, she still stayed at the inn, still sold lottery tickets, was not greedy and suffered a series of gossip from people despite her good work.
Disadvantaged
Talking about the decision to give 10 winning lottery tickets to customers (Mr. Do Tuan, SN 1967, living in Ben Luc, Long An, working as a three-wheeler driver) even though they did not know what numbers they bought and won. Reward or not, Ms. Pham Thi Lanh confided to the Laborer newspaper that: “Since childhood, my mother taught me to be “poor to clean, torn until fragrant”, not to be greedy for things that do not belong to me, I still remember the sentence forever. So when Mr. Tuan won the lottery by just buying lottery tickets over the phone, I gave it to him.”
Few people know that this honest, upright woman has an extremely difficult family situation. For decades, her family has been living in motels, never having a house to cover the rain and sun in the true sense of the word.
The family has 7 brothers and sisters, like many other families, at the age of 17, she had to leave her hometown to go to Saigon to work as a hired worker. After a few years of not being able to stay in the magnificent land of Saigon, she returned to Ben Luc town (Long An province) to make a living by selling lottery tickets.
The difficulty is that, her family has to bear the pain when the breadwinners in the house die or become ill (the third brother died and the fourth brother became mentally ill). After these events, Ms. Pham Thi Tham (Lan’s mother) had to raise 7 grandchildren of her two brothers, making life even more miserable.
Because she had to help her mother raise her grandchildren, Lanh ran out of capital and owed her husband more debt. She choked to share with the above source: “Sold 200-300 lottery tickets a day but sold more than half of them, some people insisted they didn’t pay, so I became more and more in debt.”
The daughter works hard to sell lottery tickets, and the mother in the countryside is not much more leisurely. An elderly woman like Mrs. Tham still has to squeeze every day to find each stalk of cotton leaves to dry, weigh, sell, and exchange for rice to feed her grandchildren.
Particularly, Mr. Pham Van Not (her father Lanh), could not afford to work as a hired worker, so he also went to Ben Luc to follow his daughter to sell lottery tickets. Poverty persists in this family from year to year.
Mrs. Tham sighed when talking to the Laborer’s PV: “I and 7 grandchildren have been staying at the house of the 5th child for more than a year. At night, when I see the children sleeping crowded together, I feel very sad.”
That’s the end of the difficulty, but Lanh didn’t even think about it, directly gave the customer 10 tickets of that billion, not greedy for 1 dong. Touched by the heart of “Lan Lottery”, Mr. Tuan gave her a winning ticket and said: “In Lanh, there is a very valuable character that many people need to follow, that is honesty. That’s why I gave her a special note as a thank you.”
Misfortunes “falling from the sky”
Although she is famous for being a poor but self-respecting woman, living an upright life, but with her unwilling popularity, there are baseless rumors.
Local people and friends suspect that she has an affair with Mr. Tuan, who has bought 10 winning lottery tickets in debt. They don’t believe in good people in this world, they just think hard that Lanh has feelings for Mr. Tuan, so they “donate money” like that. And because they have feelings for each other, Mr. Tuan is ready to give Lanh that billion-dollar ticket.
When asked about the gossip, Lanh laughed and shared with Vietnamnet: “I am a loving person, meaning. Previously, Mr. Tuan was my regular customer, always buying lottery tickets to support me. If It’s not Mr. Tuan but someone else, I will do the same.
If we’re really in a relationship, why should I tell everyone that he won the lottery? Why do I have to return the winning lottery ticket to him? At that time, I kept it, he probably didn’t say anything.”
The world’s mouth was only rumored for a few years, and then it ended when she saw her selling lottery tickets and he was not close or related to each other.
Thinking that life had returned to normal, Lanh was rumored by malicious people to have money, so she betrayed her husband and found someone else, so she decided to divorce.
Not that after being given back by Mr. Tuan the winning lottery ticket of more than 1 billion, Lanh also had 1 lucky lottery ticket left over, so she went to exchange for a prize of 3 billion dong.
However, no one knew that her marriage broke up long before she won the lottery. Recalling those sad days, Lanh had to sell lottery tickets amidst the eyes of suspicion and ridicule of people. But she ignored it, didn’t bother to explain because “I live for myself, as long as I don’t do anything wrong”.
Lanh doesn’t have any money now, she helps her mother build a house, raise her grandchildren, divide it with relatives, and then return to selling lottery tickets to make a living.
Lanh has been walking for a few more years now, has found a lover and suitable for her, but her budding happiness is still precarious and full of worries. Although her husband loves her dearly, she has not been accepted by this person’s family.
Before ending the conversation with PV Vietnamnet, Lanh said sadly: “We’ve been together for a long time and have a child together, but his mother still hasn’t accepted me. However, she loves her granddaughter very much. I am not sad, not angry with her and still trying to wait for the day when she accepts a daughter-in-law like me.”
