Chapter 2 — A Paper That Tests People's Hearts

That car was no more or less, just exactly two hundred thousand. While I was struggling everywhere to borrow money to save my mother, he leisurely came to the showroom to pick up a new car. Look, this is the "good husband" I chose! My father passed away when I was very young, so I always longed for a sense of security. And Truong Tien - truly a sweet person, always saying nice words, giving me a feeling of complete safety. I fell in love blindly, despite my mother's advice, insisting on being with him. Even though his family didn't give me a penny as a bride price, and even forced me to pay a dowry of 100,000, I still willingly volunteered, thinking it was sincere love. Now that I think about it, I was really stupid! I wiped my tears and silently made up my mind: When my mother finishes surgery, I will definitely divorce Truong Tien. Just as I was about to pay the hospital fee, the doctor quickly came and gave me a new copy of the examination results.

"Sorry Ms. Tran, due to the same name and last name, there was a mistake. This is your mother's exact test result."

Seeing the four words "normal health", my heart finally relaxed. My mother also breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, I suddenly remembered - my mother-in-law and my biological mother seemed to have the same name, both named "Dang Hong Mai". This story has been teased many times in the past by Truong Tien, saying that we are "destined for heaven". Could it be that... the terminally ill person is really my mother-in-law? I hurriedly asked the doctor to verify, the results showed that the person named "Dang Hong Mai" in the other report, from age, address to contact information... completely matched my mother-in-law! It's truly reincarnation feng shui, the wind has changed direction! I really want to see if Truong Tien knew that the person with a serious illness was his mother, would he still be able to stay calm like just now! 2 I explained to the doctor, then took the role of daughter-in-law and brought home my mother-in-law's medical examination report. After that, I returned the two hundred thousand to my best friend and explained everything clearly. She was now relieved, but still kept five million (5,000) as backup money for me. Even if you decide to break up with Truong Tien, you can't keep the baby in your belly. Although it is very painful to have to give up this little creature, compared to letting a child be born into such a family, it is better not to let it suffer. I told my mother about my intention to have an abortion and divorce Chuong Tien. After this incident, my mother was also completely disappointed in Truong Tien, looking at me sadly: "Son, you make your decision, I support you." With my mother's support, I used three million to perform the abortion procedure. The surgery was very quick and not as painful as I thought it would be. Looking at the drop of blood that symbolizes the child slowly melting, I still feel a little nostalgic, but more of a feeling of relief. From now on, the only bond between me and Truong Tien has also been severed. I can divorce him with dignity, there's no need to hesitate anymore! Waiting for my health to stabilize, I went to the lawyer's office to have a divorce agreement drafted. Holding the divorce contract in hand, I took my mother home, made arrangements for her, then took a taxi back to the house where I lived with Truong Tien, preparing to say goodbye and pack up my things. As soon as I reached the door, I heard Truong Tien's voice from inside: "Mom, I called Tran Thien just now, her tone wasn't very good... After all, it's her mother, what if she gets really angry and asks for a divorce?" Next was the mother-in-law's disdainful laugh: "She's pregnant, so why would she ask for a divorce? Don't worry, she doesn't dare!"

"Fortunately, I secretly poked a hole in it before, otherwise it would have been difficult to keep it!"

—— My whole body stiffened. At this point, I realized... that baby was not an accident. It was him on purpose! He secretly sabotaged birth control, just to tie me up with a child!

Chuong Tien clearly breathed a sigh of relief, his tone filled with pride: "Mom, you're right. A woman like her who was once pregnant, who would want to marry her besides me? You're still the most powerful!" … Hearing these words, I felt like I was falling into an ice cellar. The hand holding the doorknob tightened little by little. It turns out it wasn't just a matter of splitting expenses — even the baby was the result of their plot! No wonder Truong Tien and I clearly used safe measures, but we still got pregnant. At that time, I was in the stage of career advancement and had no intention of having children. It was he who cried and begged me to keep it, promising to love my mother and me with all his heart, and especially welcoming his mother to live with me to "conveniently take care of me". The mother-in-law also continuously complained, saying that she was old and her only wish was to hold her grandchild. Because of that fervent plea, I softened my heart and decided to keep the baby. I thought they really loved this child. Who would have thought that it was all just a trick to more easily control me! Luckily, I was able to terminate that pregnancy in time. Otherwise, I don't know how much more I would be oppressed and manipulated by them! Thinking of this, I turned the key, pushed the door open and entered. As soon as they saw me, Truong Tien and her mother-in-law immediately stopped talking and hurriedly pretended that nothing had happened. Chuong Tien stepped forward and held out his hand to me: "This month's mortgage payment, a total of four million, you have to give me two million."
