Chapter 24 — Don't Touch An An

Tham Thanh Dao calmly looked at him. "It's not that I only know now." "It's that I didn't want to know before." Ha Dinh's eyes turned red, and he finally lowered his head. Tham Thanh Dao held An An's hand and left. The sunlight shines at the end of the hallway. An An raised her head and asked: "Mom, are we going home?" Tham Thanh Dao said: "Let's go home." An An asked again: "Our house?" Tham Thanh Dao smiled. “Yes.” “Our home.” Eight months later, Tham Thanh Dao completed the training course. She received the decision to appoint a new position. Salary increased by one level. The agency also arranged a more stable working time frame for her. She never held a lavish party. Just cook a bowl of noodles at home. An An gave her an fried egg. "Mom is the best." Tham Thanh Dao bent down and kissed her child's forehead. "An An is also the best." In the evening, she opened the banking app on her phone. The balance is no longer 90 yuan. Ha Dinh's first installment refund has been transferred to his account. Alimony payments were also delivered on time. Tham Thanh Dao looked at those numbers and felt peace in her heart. Money isn't everything. But money could save her from having to humble herself for another vaccine shot. Can help her take her child to the best doctor as soon as the child is injured. Can you help her say go is go, say no is no. She put the old notebook in the deepest compartment of the drawer. The first page of the new book no longer records who owes how much. It's time to register for An An's kindergarten next year. The second line is her own exam plan. The third line is a short trip. The darkness outside the window is so soothing. An An is playing a jigsaw puzzle in the living room. The little girl suddenly called out: "Mom, the rabbit has finished grafting." Tham Thanh Dao stepped forward. The rabbit on the puzzle is standing on the grass, behind is a very large sun. She sat down next to An An. Mother and daughter leaned on each other. The door lock has been tightly closed. The light is so warm. From that day on, no one could use words like filial piety, love, complete family, to push her once again into the abyss of those old days.
