Chapter 7 — After Betrayal Comes Peace

Then, in a voice that seemed very quiet but in fact everyone could hear, said:

“Yeah, mom doesn't like her either.”

“To Diec Kieu, do you normally teach children like this?”

“Pop” sound.

Luc Ung Tham silently threw the towel on the table:

"What does my wife's teachings have to do with you? What are you doing here? Do you want to cause trouble?"

In the night market, there are good and bad people mixed together, there are all kinds of people. Luc Ung Tham grew up in this area from a young age. He can make all the tenants and diners obey him, of course he must have a certain bravery. Ha Du was scared by his aura. When he continued to speak, his voice became much quieter.

“Kieu Kieu, can we talk?”

I refused without thinking:

“I have nothing to say to you.”

Ha Du panicked:

“It won't take up too much of your time, I guarantee!”

I put on an apron and started washing vegetables:

“I refuse.”

Ha Duu walked a few steps closer to me, his voice became even quieter:

“So can I let your husband and children go out first?”

“Based on what?”

Luc Ung Tham hadn't opened his mouth yet, I spoke up to refute:

"If you have something to say, say it frankly. Don't stand here showing off your majesty as a big lady!"

Ha Duu felt so sorry for himself that his eyes turned red:

"Kieu Kieu, you've changed. You wouldn't have treated me like that before."

My movement of washing vegetables stopped. I raised my head and looked at Ha Duu with disbelief:

“Is there something wrong with your mind?”

Ha Du's expression stiffened.

“Think about it with a normal person's mind. Your best friend stole your boyfriend, harmed you, left a black mark on your record, lost a loved one, and then asked you to put aside your previous enmity and continue to treat her well.”

“If it were you, would you accept it?”

Ha Du unconsciously shook his head. Immediately after that, she hastily explained:

"Kieu Kieu, I know you won't forgive me. I didn't mean anything else when I said that just now, it was simply emotional!"

Those words made me so nauseous that I almost vomited all of my breakfast. Realizing that if Ha Duu didn't go, the shop wouldn't be able to operate normally today, I turned off the faucet. I shouted at Ha Du:

"What's the matter with you? Please tell me everything once, don't bother me again in the future!"

Tieu Mach has never seen such a fierce appearance from me. She stuffed the unfinished cup of soy milk into Luc Ung Tham's hand and ran in front of me:

"Bad woman! Don't make your mother angry! Go away!"

Luc Ung Tham walked over and carried Tieu Mach into his arms. After glaring at Ha Duu, he softly said to me:

"I'll find someone to look after Tieu Mach for a moment, I'll be right back."

Seeing me nod, Luc Ung Tham gave Ha Duu a warning look before walking out. Waiting until there were only two of us left in the restaurant, Ha Du choked up and said:

“Kieu Kieu, Yen So want to divorce me.”

I poured myself a glass of water, completely ignoring her. Ha Du didn't need me to ask, he continued telling the story himself.

"After you disappeared four years ago, Yen So always looked for you. We often argued because of you."

I can't listen anymore. I placed the cup firmly on the table, curled my mouth in mockery:

“What do you mean you two divorced because of me?”

Ha Du quickly waved it away hand:

"No! It has nothing to do with you!"

Seeing my expression soften a bit, Ha Du continued to speak. She said the baby stopped growing at five months. From then on, she could not get pregnant again. She said the relationship between her and Co Yen So had been at a standstill since the baby died. Every day, besides work, Co Yen So only has work. He doesn't like going home, let alone walking around with her or giving her gifts.
