Chapter 2 — Mother's New Life

"Noan Noan, why do you look so unhappy? Are you worried that the child in my womb will become a burden to you? Don't worry, I won't let it affect you." My stupid mother, up to this point she has always thought about others, never even considering her own situation. Thinking of this, I took a deep breath and said softly: "Mom, I'm not unhappy, nor do I feel like the child in your womb is a burden. Regardless of whether it's a younger brother or a younger sister, I will take good care of it. It's just you."
I'm old, I'm afraid that giving birth at an old age will be dangerous. Furthermore..."Furthermore, now that my mother is pregnant, she should be cherished and taken care of by her family, but at home she is treated like this, how can I be happy? But I don't say the words behind it. Because my mother raised me, her personality has also been eroded, becoming patient and always listening to others. I don't want to show these naked realities in front of her. But I also can't stand by and watch. Thinking of this, I pulled away.
mother's hand, gently said: "Mom, you're pregnant, you should rest well. I'm going to stew some chicken soup to nourish you." Mom kept waving her hand. "Mom, it's okay. You just got off the plane, you must be very tired. Just rest, let me do these things." Having said that, she tried to stand up. I took a step faster, pushed her back onto the sofa, then took off her apron and put it on me. "Mom, you still haven't tasted my skills, right? Today I will show off my talent, so you can open your eyes." After dad passed away, mom had to endure a lot.
many hardships. Even though she's remarried now and doing a little housework isn't worth mentioning, she's pregnant and she's this thin. With me here, I really can't bear to let her continue to struggle with housework. 5 After stewing the chicken soup, I cleaned the living room, then threw all the dirty clothes into the washing machine. After finishing everything, I went into the office and planned to rest on my mother's small bed. If I guess correctly, the person giving orders to my mother on the phone is Uncle Duong's older sister.
At this time, she was probably about to take her little grandson back. Only by hiding in the dark could I know my mother's true situation after remarrying. Not long after, the sound of an electronic lock being unlocked was heard outside. Right after that, an old woman walked in while cursing. Perhaps this is Uncle Duong's older sister. "Ly Tan Lan, do you want to die? Why haven't you finished cooking yet? Didn't I call you in advance? You don't go to work, you're free every day at home, even this little thing is done."

Did she have a younger brother in her belly so she intentionally let him starve?" As soon as the old woman heard that, she immediately became angry. "Ly Tan Lan, don't think that any child of our Duong family can do whatever they want! I tell you, Hao Hao must always be placed in the front. If you dare to neglect Hao Hao for the sake of the child in your belly, I will let you
I know how!" Mom heard that and immediately ran into the kitchen. "Sister, you and Hao Hao, please wait a little longer, the food is almost ready. Today when I picked up the water bottle outside, my stomach suddenly hurt so I was a bit late..." Mom hadn't finished speaking yet, I heard the child's shrill scream. "Eldest aunt, look quickly! My stepmother took advantage of the time we weren't home and secretly stewed ribs to eat!
The tea table in the living room was probably seen by Uncle Duong's son. Right after that, the sound of plates falling on the floor mixed with the old woman's angry questioning voice entered my ears. "Ly Tan Lan, come here for me!" Mom held a wooden shovel to stir-fry food, poking her head out of the kitchen, looking suspicious. "Sister, what's going on?" I looked through the crack in the door, only to see the old woman pointing at the pieces of broken plates on the floor and the ribs in the trash, questioning: "What is this? No wonder when I called you, you kept wondering. waterlogged, it turned out to be hiding
awkward restaurant! Are you that old and still so greedy? And eating children's food, are you ashamed?" Mother panicked and quickly denied. "Sister, it's not me who eats, this is..." Before she could finish speaking, the old woman slapped her. Hot blood immediately rose in my body.

While poking, he muttered: "I hate my little brother, I also hate my mother." next. Stepmother is a bitch
greedy, secretly eating my ribs and cherries." The stick didn't look big, but the strength of a child was not small.

That was when the children at school laughed at me for not having a father, my mother cried full of anger in front of me. The anger in my heart immediately reached its peak.
