Mai unrolled the wad of notes and peeled off $4000 in crumpled, creased and well used $100 notes.
"One month at $20000 and a month's bond of $2000. Just what my daughter Yen wants. Only a 100-metre walk to Melbourne Uni and it's furnished. She's got 99.98 in her VCE and made it into medicine. This flat means she will be so close to Uni and can study really hard and be a top surgeon." You have to love those top achiever Vietnamese parents, prepared to sacrifice all to get their kids the best education. Don't worry about the offspring's mental health if they are not academically inclined. Push, push, push and then just drive them harder. This time it looked like it had succeeded.
I laughed to myself. I had bought the apartment as a fuck pad dirt cheap years ago before the inner-city suburbs became fashionable, but now it was a gold mine increasing in value every year and giving me a rock-solid high rental income.
I nodded at the trio: the 39-year-old Vietnamese women Mai and her 18-year-old daughter Yen and the 56-year-old grandmother Binh. Mai was about 5 foot one, a little overweight with fullish breasts for a Vietnamese and although she made every effort to dress stylishly in her black slack suit and high heels, they were most certainly discount store purchased and well used. A jade Buddha hung from her neck and my eyes picked up the fact she wore a gold bracelet but no wedding ring. Binh, her mother, was a very well preserved 54 and like her daughter Mai short and solid and was wearing a traditional, sky blue Vietnamese Ao Dai top and black slacks. Yen, the daughter, was taller and far slimmer than her mother and her tight designer hipster jeans and halter neck top emphasized this, and displayed the shape of her very small, rounded tits. It all added up to a single mother going without herself to bring up and to give her daughter everything. I smiled to myself. Single divorced Viet women, if they hadn't left the marriage to move to another relationship, had very little chance of remarrying. Maybe the flat would give me more than just income.
A few casual questions filled in the missing pieces. Yes, all three lived together. Yes, she did piece rate sewing at home to bring up her daughter and look after her mother. Yes she was country, not city-bred, and therefore uneducated but wanted to make her English better, and she had been divorced for 14 years. I could feel my cock rising in anticipation and inwardly gave it 3 months before I fucked her. Her mother, Yen's grandmother, didn't look too bad either, so I fantasied about the 2 of them together or even a Vietnamese sexfight between the 2 because at their age it was at least a 50% chance they had contested against another Vietnamese women. It was a pity that the young Vietnamese generation raised in Australia had become westernized and no longer settled arguments or disputes in the traditional Vietnamese way. Her home sewing cash income, a no tax wage, explained the used $ notes.
"I have had an earlier verbal offer", I ventured, thinking of the gratitude factor and reducing the time from 3 to 2 months, "but they haven't turned up, so it looks like the flat is yourrrrrrrrrrr."
My voice trailed off as the flat door was flung open and another 3 Vietnamese women burst in.
"I'm Sang, and I spoke to you about the flat for my daughter Diep."
Sang, as my limited Vietnamese knew translated as "looking or behaving like upper class", and she was perfectly named. 36 years old 5 ft 6 tall, fantastic face with a soft perm with golden streaks dyed into her black hair, a western nose job and eyes, firm, subtlety enhanced 34C breasts, flat 22-inch stomach and rock hard 32-inch arse. Unlike most Vietnamese, who, except for going out at night, prefer slacks, she had a calf-length expensive black skirt about 28 inches around her hips (it was more than board tight) split on the right front to 10 inches above the knee. Again, unlike most Viet who use a hard padded Asian bra, hers was soft and her hard nipples pushed at the silk, cross over, black, top that cradled her large, for her slim frame, tits that had a gold crucifix dangling between and left her shoulders and the top of her back uncovered.
The daughter Diep was an 18-year-old clone of Mai's daughter. Apart from their faces, most 18-year-old Viet teenagers look like they come off an assembly line. Slim, fashion-conscious and proud of their beauty. The grandmother, Van, despite being 54 wore a tight mini, high heel and more jewellery than most families buy in two generations, and she too had been back to Vietnam for cosmetic surgery. But to my trained eyes, a further, deeper scrutiny picked up the jewellery was fake.
"Whatever they're paying we'll pay $50 a week more. My daughter needs this for her Medical studies."
"No way, bitch, you missed out. There's the money on the table," replied Mai.
Sang waved a fistful of dollars in my face. I looked. Brand new from a bank. Not carefully hoarded over time like Mai's.
"You are wrong, peasant, I phoned earlier, it's ours. Your daughter is back out on the street where she belongs, and you can go back to your sewing machine while I look over my investment portfolio."
"Yen got 99.98 ATAR score for university entrance. What did your slut get? I bet you bought her place." Mai was referring to the contentious set-up in Victoria whereby 80% of Uni places went on ability, the remaining 20% to those with lower marks who were willing to pay 3 times the standard Uni fee.
The bickering went back and forth before Van interrupted, "We've bought our Diep up the traditional way. Let your slut compete against her."
Mai smiled. "You'll regret it whore. Yen sleeps with me and knows how to compete. I'll eat your slut for 15 minutes and you, the Doctor's practice toy, can eat my Yen for 15. The girl who doesn't cum wins the flat."
