Chapter 21 — Bringing Children to Find a Husband

“It's not my responsibility to carry it for you.” Ma Thuy Anh rushed from behind, knelt down in front of me and made a "thud" sound. Everyone in the hallway looked this way. She cried and clung to the hem of my pants. "Xuan Hoa, I bow my head and apologize to you." "Please forgive Minh Loi." "If he really has to go there, this life will be as good as gone." I took a step back. "When you destroyed Tieu Chu at the school gate, did you ever think that he would almost leave?" "When you held a knife to block the door of my mother's house, did you ever think that Duong Duong would have nightmares?" "When you replaced me?" Signed to mortgage the house, did you ever think that my parents and I would not have a place to live?" Ma Thuy Anh gasped, unable to say a word. At this moment, my phone rang. The lawyer glanced at the screen and signaled me to answer the phone. On the other end of the line is the police station. "Miss Ha, regarding the documents Phung Le Na provided, Phung Duc Hai has opened his mouth." "He admitted that he had an affair with Ma Thuy Anh in the past." "At the same time, the origin of Phung Le Na's deposit to buy a house has also been consolidated with evidence." "Your side can prepare the next step to reclaim your rights." I hung up the phone. Tuong Minh Loi stared at me, his voice trembling. "What did they say?" I looked at him. "They said, the reputation of the Tuong family, which you have maintained all your life, is about to collapse." Ma Thuy Anh let out a high-pitched scream, her eyes darkened, and she fell backwards. 21 On the day Ma Thuy Anh was taken to the hospital, Tuong Minh Loi did not follow. He sat on a bench in the courthouse hallway, his hands running through his hair, like a fish with its bones removed. As I passed in front of him, he looked up at me. Those eyes held resentment, fear, and even a bit of late regret. But I don't need it anymore. A month later, the verdict was given. Jiang Ming Lei and I divorced. Tieu Chu and Duong Duong were raised by me. The house in the countryside was decided for me and my children to live in and use, and the division of ownership rights will later be carried out according to the results of the property case. The mortgage contract related to my signature was concluded to have serious violations, and the authorities will continue to investigate and clarify. The house in Phung Le Na's name had its assets frozen. Even if she wants to sell it, she can't sell it, and even if she wants to transfer it, she can't do it. Phung Duc Hai also could not retreat smoothly. The amount of 10,000 so-called loan was discovered without any reasonable documents. Things got even worse when the documents Phung Le Na handed over tore up the entire mess between them. Chiang Minh Loi's story at the project was also investigated. He was fired and had to pay compensation for money he shouldn't have. Later I heard that he went to the hospital to visit Ma Thuy Anh. The first question Ma Thuy Anh asked when he woke up was not whether he was okay, but while crying, he said he couldn't go for a DNA test. Chiang Minh Loi smashed the bedside table on the spot. The Jiang family bloodline that he preserved all his life eventually became a laughing stock for the whole district. I don't go to see the excitement. No matter how much they bite each other, it has nothing to do with me. I only get back what my children and I deserve. Money needs to be demanded, the lawyer continues to demand it. Procedures need to be followed, no steps missed. After that, Ma Thuy Anh asked someone to beg me. Said she was old, said she knew she was wrong, told me to respect my two children and not pressure people too much. I only replied with one sentence. Out of respect for my children, I have given them too many chances. That person doesn't come anymore. The school also issued a written explanation. Ma Thuy Anh spread false rumors, insulted minors at the school gate, was prosecuted

according to the law and must apologize publicly. Tieu Chu held that apology paper and looked at it for a long time. Finally the boy folded the paper and stuffed it into the bottom compartment of the drawer. The boy said: "Mom, I don't want to take it out anymore." I replied: “Okay.” “From now on we will only move forward.” The transfer procedure went more smoothly than I expected. My parents took out their savings and rented a small house for us and me at the other end of the district. The house is small but filled with sunlight. The first time he entered the door, Duong Duong pasted the picture he drew on the wall. In the painting there is me, the little girl, Tieu Chu, and my grandparents. There is no Jiang Ming Lei. I looked at that picture, my heart ached a bit and then slowly calmed down. An absent person is not worth stubbornly adding to. After Tieu Chu moved to a new school, her performance gradually improved. One evening, the boy gave me a math test. Ninety-two points. The boy tried to act calm, but his ears turned red. I hugged my child. "That's so good." The boy said softly: "Mom, in the future I want to study law." "I want to help people like you." The bridge of my nose stung, I smiled and said yes. Sugar Sugar also changed. She no longer wakes up crying in the middle of the night. She knows how to hug my arm and say, Mom, our house is so quiet now.
