Chapter 4 — A Nhu's Delirious Words
"How can To Tu Nuong, a woman, open a shop and have people praising her every day?" "Based on what makes her family's life increasingly prosperous?" “In what way am I inferior to her?” "What if I say a few words? If she's really pure, what are you afraid of what others will say?" As soon as these words were spoken, even people who normally liked to watch excitement frowned. Grandfather used a cane and walked out of the house. He was old, his back was slightly bent. But that day, his voice was extremely steady. “Just saying a few words with your mouth can force someone to die.” “Mai Hoa, what you use is not words, but da.a.o.” Do Mai Hoa is still not convinced. “She's not dead?” Mother's body trembled. I was shaking too. In my previous life, my mother passed away. I'm also dead. But in this life, no one knows how cold the water in that river is. Mom hugged me tightly and suddenly spoke: "Dad, I want to continue opening the shop." Grandfather looked at mother. “Have you thought it through carefully?” Mom nodded. “I did not do anything against my conscience.” "Just because someone else is dirty, you can't have to break your own rice cooker." The bridge of my nose is stinging. In her previous life, her mother was scolded so much that in the end she didn't even dare to go out the door. In this life, my mother finally raised her head. Dad stood next to him and said in a low voice: "Tu Nuong, I will help you." Mom didn't immediately look at him. 6 Mother was silent for a long time before saying: "Thu Sinh, if you want to help me, the first thing is not to help me collect money." "But from now on, don't show your attitude towards me because of a sentence from an outsider." Dad's face turned red. His lips moved, then suddenly he knelt down in the middle of the yard. “It's me that sucks.” “Yesterday I almost took action.” “Tu Nuong, I don't ask you to forgive me immediately.” “In the future I will use my whole life to make up for it.” The people around were stunned. Men in the village value face the most. A hot-tempered person like my father cannot easily kneel. But he knelt. Mother's tears rolled down. Mom didn't help him up, she just hugged me, her voice hoarse. “You must remember today's words carefully.” “If there is a next time, I will take A Nhu back to her mother's house.” Dad nodded seriously. "Okay." I know everything has changed. The day the shop reopened, Mom changed into a new apron. White fabric with blue trim, sewn by mother herself. Mom rubbed the shiny pot. The first bowl of vermicelli was given to my grandfather. The second bowl was given to me. I sat on a small chair, holding a bowl and blowing hot air. Cuu Oa squatted next to him, staring longingly. I gave him a doughnut. He asked in a low voice: "A Nhu, did you really see the white-bearded old man?" I nodded seriously. “Bad people do bad things, God sees them.” Cuu Oa was so scared that he shrank his neck. That afternoon, the children in the village composed a song again. But this time, they sang: "A Nhu's eyes are bright, bad guys have nowhere to hide." Mom heard it, smiled and shook her head. “It's just a bunch of junk.” But mom laughed. That was the first time since the resurrection that I saw my mother truly smile. Before leaving the village, Do Mai Hoa also came to cause trouble once. She ran to the front of my restaurant with disheveled hair, carrying a bowl of hot soup and intending to pour it into the pot. Dad quickly moved his eyes and immediately held her wrist tightly. “I still want to do it
What?" Do Mai Hoa's eyes are red like a devil. “Phuong Thu Sinh, you couple caused me to lose my house and you still ask me what I want to do?” Dad was so angry that he burst out laughing. "You're having an affair, why are we forcing you to do it?" “You spread rumors, are we forcing you to open your mouth?” She couldn't shake it off and immediately turned to glare at her mother. “To Tu Nuong, don't be too quick to be complacent.” “Your husband is protecting you now because I fell. If someone else talks about you in the future, he will still believe it!” Mom's face turned a little white. My heart immediately became tense. Do Mai Hoa understands well how to provoke other people's pain. She knows what mother is most afraid of. I stood up from the chair, walked unsteadily to my mother's side. “Mom, don't be afraid.” Mom lowered her head to look at me, her eyes red. I said in a childish voice: "If someone speaks ill of mom again, A Nhu will ask the white-bearded old man what's under that person's bed!" The surrounding guests were first stunned, then burst into laughter. “Yes! Whoever is talking nonsense should first look under their bed!” "There are only mice under my bed. I'm not afraid of A Nhu asking." “Mai Hoa, please stop saying a few words. It's really noisy under your bed." Do Mai Hoa was laughed at so much that her face turned blue and white. She suddenly rushed towards me. “I'm going to squeeze this little goblin to death!” 7 Dad kicked her away. Do Mai Hoa's hand was just a little closer to touching my neck. Mom hugged me up, her expression colder than I had ever seen. “Do Mai Hoa.” “You scolded me, I held back.” “You slandered me, I also endured it.” “But if you dare to touch my daughter, I will risk my life for you.” Mom conveniently picked up the rolling pin on the cutting board. Do Mai Hoa was stunned.
