Besides Ngân Collagen, who is famous online, Hiền Nhiên is also one of the wealthy and influential women in Can Tho. She is a mother of two, possesses a sophisticated and beautiful appearance, and has the aura befitting a diamond shop owner.

Becoming a diamond tycoon after marrying into a gold shop business.

Traditionally, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been difficult to talk about, and many families experience conflict because of this relationship. If the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is harmonious, and even the two mothers-in-law are close friends, then it's truly a 1-0 victory!

This is also the story of the family of diamond tycoon Nguyen Hien Nhien (born in 1990) and her mother-in-law, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Kim Hien. In real life, Hien Nhien is famous as one of the wealthy and influential women in Can Tho.

The wealthy businesswoman from the Mekong Delta had the opportunity to share everything about her family relationships in episode 434 of the "Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law" program.

Reportedly, Hien Nhien and her husband, Tran Thai Thong, have been married for nearly 8 years. They both run a diamond business and own a diamond shop in Can Tho. While it's called a shop, their business and diamond jewelry brand are large and have a nationwide presence.

When appearing on the show, Hien Nhien confided that when they first met, her husband didn't tell her he was "the son of a gold shop owner." Thai Thong only mentioned that his family ran a general store in the market. But in reality, Hien Nhien already knew the whole truth because an acquaintance had told her about Thai Thong's family background.

After getting to know each other for a while, Thai Thong brought his girlfriend home to meet his family. At that time, Hien Nhien was still working as a bank employee and didn't have much business experience. When she stepped into the house and saw the gold shop, she was overwhelmed and stunned.

Hien Nhien's first impression of her mother-in-law was that she was quite strict: "At first, when Thong took me to meet his mother, it was difficult. Honestly, she was a bit strict, so I was a little scared. But after talking to her, I found her to be very kind and gentle. Adults just need to see that you are well-behaved and polite, and that's already a 1-0. After that, I talked and confided in her, honestly telling her about my studies and my family circumstances..."

As for Ms. Kim Hien, her first impression of her daughter-in-law was that she had two dimples on her face.

She praised her daughter-in-law profusely. "When I talk to her, she speaks fluently and articulately. I feel she would be a good daughter-in-law for our family. She is honest and straightforward, so there's nothing artificial about her."

She got along well with Nhien and treated her like her own daughter. Nhien would tell her mother-in-law everything that happened, so they became like family. Her mother-in-law was also a friend to her daughter-in-law. Her daughter-in-law never asked for money; she was very focused on her work. Her mother-in-law always gave her money, her daughter-in-law never asked for it."

Later, Hien Nhien also returned to help with her husband's family's gold business. The wealthy businesswoman had a passion for gold and jewelry since childhood, so she immediately adapted to the job.

Hien Nhien recounted how she and her husband started their business: "Actually, I've loved selling gold since I was a child. So when I started, I immediately got into it. It's right up my alley; I love business and trading, living my passion. Working at the bank was just a coincidence; after all these years, I realized I wasn't suited to the banking environment."

"When we had known each other for over a month, I went to help out at my husband's family home because I wanted to learn about and assist his mother, as she was the only one working at the time. Later, I got into the business and my husband and I opened our own shop. My husband, Thông, has been selling diamonds for over 8 years now."

A unique aspect of this family is their involvement in the gold and diamond trade.

One notable aspect of Hien Nhien's family is the very good relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Even the two mothers-in-law, or the mother-in-law and son-in-law, have a harmonious and close relationship.

Mr. Thong decided to live with his wife's family because he knew his mother-in-law lived alone, and since Hien Nhien and her mother had always lived next to each other, he decided to move in. Currently, the two mothers-in-law also live near each other and have a very close relationship.

Within the family, all members maintain good relationships with each other. For example, Mr. Thong once gifted his mother-in-law a diamond jewelry set worth 1 billion VND. Hien Nhien is also very close to her sister-in-law, having given her an incredibly expensive piece of jewelry at their wedding. As for the two mothers-in-law, they live nearby and often hang out and chat together every day...

Hien Nhien boasted about her family relationships: "The two mothers-in-law live next door to each other. They're all very close. They always buy things together, buying matching items. If there's anything nice, they buy it too. My paternal grandmother even drives my maternal grandmother to shop for clothes."

This stems from the fact that Mrs. Kim Hien always taught her children to be considerate and understanding towards each other.

Ms. Kim Hien shared: "One of the principles is patience. Thong and Thinh (the younger brother of Mr. Thai Thong) grew up under my wing, and I made them to be patient and tolerant. They had to be patient in everything. Because when you get angry, you'll say unpleasant things. And once you've said them, you can't take them back. For example, when two people are angry, if one person stays silent, the other will naturally realize who is wrong and correct their behavior. I made it mandatory for my children to be patient and tolerant, not to raise their voices at each other."

Ms. Kim Hien also said that she loves her daughter-in-law very much because it wasn't easy for the couple to build their life together. "As parents, we have to love and support our children. Therefore, there are no conflicts, and they live happily together, which is good. That's all I want," she said.

Faced with such an understanding mother-in-law, MC Quyền Linh couldn't help but praise her: "The head of the family is very important. Honest sharing is also crucial. There's no need for intermediaries. Each person receives feedback and sharing with their heart and sincerity. Because if you think differently, if you accept the feedback incorrectly, conflict will inevitably arise. In this family, there's a lot of connection and love, and we're willing to forgive each other for everything."
