“You also know that I have never done anything wrong to you.” “But you still scolded me for more than twenty years.” Duong Duc Hai's eyes avoided. “Who said that that year you were gone for three months?” “What man can stand it?” I laughed out loud. “You beat someone and had to return to her mother's house to recuperate, and blame her for not standing in the same place waiting for you to continue beating?” Duong Duc Hai suddenly glared at me. “What do you know?” I looked at him. “I know you're doing it. afraid." "You're afraid that rope will be cut." "You're afraid that no one will hide your evil from you." He rushed forward and tried to grab me. The policeman immediately blocked him. "Sit down." Duong Duc Hai was pressed back into the chair, his chest heaving violently. He still wanted to scold me. But there was nothing that could be scolded anymore. That year's records were quickly dispatched. When the copy was sent to the station, my mother held the paper and looked at it for a long time. Not much written above. Due to a family dispute, Tham Ngoc Mai was beaten by her husband, her face and arms were injured. After reconciliation, Duong Duc Hai admitted that he had acted and pledged not to continue beating his wife. Below is his name. Shattered and crooked. But each stroke was like a nail nailing down all his years of lies. Mom suddenly laughed softly. The smile is very light. It's also very bitter. "Before, I was always afraid that others wouldn't believe me." "It turns out that the paper was always there." "I just didn't dare to look for it." I held her hand. "Now I've found it." She nodded. "Yes." After the lawyer came, after looking at this document, he said it could be added to the divorce lawsuit and evidence of defamation. "He spread rumors about the child's identity in the village group." "Now there is a medical examination record. and the report from that year." "In addition to the results of the blood test later, no matter what the result is, it can be proven that he intentionally intimidated me." Mother asked: "Regardless of the result?" The lawyer looked at her. "Yes." "The child is not a tool." "He cannot use rumors to control you." Mother bowed her head, as if reciting that sentence many times in her heart. Duong Duc Hai heard the lawyer's words and started to laugh coldly. "That's a good thing to say." "The test results haven't come back yet, you guys are pretending to be tough." This time mom didn't hide. She looked at him. "Duong Duc Hai." "Even if the result is not what you want, I will not turn back." "The days of you using Tieu Am to threaten me are over." Duong Duc Hai was stunned. It was like realizing for the first time that Tham Ngoc Mai really didn't listen to her anymore. In the evening, we returned to Aunt Ngo's house. Mom put a copy of the minutes in her file bag. The movements are very slow and very solemn. I warmed up porridge for her. She ate nearly half a bowl and then suddenly asked: "Tieu Am, if the test results come out, will you be sad?" I put down the spoon. "Yes." Her eyes trembled. I continued: "I will be sad because I have called this kind of person dad for more than twenty years." "But I will not be sad because of blood." "Mom, I only have one mother." Tears fell from her eyes. This time she did not hold back. She covered her face and cried for a long time. After crying, she went to wash her face. When she came back, her eyes were red and swollen but she was calmer than during the day. The next morning, the court's personal safety order was issued first. Duc Duc Hai is not allowed to harass, intimidate or beat Tham Ngoc Mai and her relatives. Do not go near Aunt Ngo's house, the garment factory, and the place where mother temporarily resides. Violations will be handled according to law. Mom held the piece of paper, her hands shaking violently. "It turns out you really can't let him get close." I nodded. "Maybe." "If he comes in the future, there's no need to talk about feelings." She replied softly. But Duong Duc Hai has never been the type to obediently stop. The night the protection order was delivered, the police called. Preliminary test results of the residue are available. Inside the discovery

Sedative ingredients should not appear in common cold medicine. Furthermore, the dosage is not low. Mom held the phone, her face turning white little by little. The police officer said on the other end: "Don't spread this story around in the future." "We will continue to investigate." Before the words could finish, Aunt Ngo's yard gate was suddenly banged by someone else. "Bang!" open. Aunt stood behind the door and scolded: "Mrs. Wei, if you hit me again I will report to the police." Grandma Wei cried outside. "Report it." "All of you just report it." "If my son has to go to jail, I will die right in front of your gate." Mother stood up, her face pale. I held her back. "Don't go out." It wasn't just Grandma Wei outside. I heard Ma Thuy's voice. "Sister-in-law, just come out and say a word." "As long as you go to the police station and talk about drugs, it's a misunderstanding, we will return the eighteen thousand yuan." I laughed coldly. "Now I know what to pay?" "What did you guys do before?" Ma Thuy's voice immediately became shrill. "Duong Am, don't force people into a dead end."
