Chapter 5 — Freedom Is The Most Precious Gift

10 Tomorrow and disaster, one never knows which comes first. I did not expect that, before I could prepare carefully, disaster suddenly struck. I don't know if it was because I prayed to God every day that God listened or not... When I was compiling all the evidence to prepare to file for divorce, I received a phone call. Lac Tung fainted in the company. By the time he was taken to the hospital, his heart had stopped beating. Rupture of a cerebral aneurysm. When I heard that news, I was completely stunned. Turns out — the times he said he had a headache after every argument was true. The day I proposed a divorce, he looked dizzy and dazed - which was also true. It turned out he was sick — it's just that none of us knew. It's not that it wasn't announced, it's just that it wasn't the right time. Evil people are eventually cleaned up by God. I asked Linh Linh to come with me to the hospital. Linh Linh held my hand, leaned close to my ear and whispered: "Quickly do the cremation procedure, then call someone to clean up the house." I understand what she means. After informing my mother-in-law of Lac Tung's death, I let Linh Linh lead someone to my house to thoroughly clean and disinfect. My mother-in-law was at the hospital crying bitterly, as if the sky was falling. After several days of chaotic funeral arrangements, Lac Tung's body was finally cremated. During those few days, I erased all traces of him in the house. I even burned all of his clothes and personal belongings, leaving nothing behind. A week later, my mother-in-law gradually calmed down from the pain of losing her child. And the first thing she thought of — was property division. I nodded: "Okay, how to divide it according to the law." Unexpectedly, she smiled meaningfully, then made a phone call. Looking at his attitude, he clearly intended to call Lac Tung's illegitimate son. I also called Linh Linh and her brother to come to the house. An hour later, my house was packed with people. She hugged a little boy tightly, kissing and petting him. And the boy's mother stood next to him, smiling gently. "Lam Doanh, this is my nephew. He also has a share in the inheritance." I pretended to be surprised: "You mean... Lac Tung's child?" My mother-in-law started to become aggressive, put her hands on her hips and shouted: "That's right, it's Lac Tung's son! Now the stepson also has the right to inherit, so Lac Tung's assets naturally belong to this boy." The child's mother stood next to her and smiled brightly, gently opening her mouth: "Sister, you see, it's not easy for me and my mother. Lac Tung doesn't leave much for us. I'm not greedy, how to divide will be according to the law." I pulled out a tissue to wipe my tears, and replied softly: "I don't admit it. I don't admit that this is Lac Tung's child. Lac Tung loves me like that, how can he have his own child, how can he raise a woman outside..." My mother-in-law immediately stood up, put her hands on her hips and shouted: "You are a hen that doesn't know how to lay eggs, and you dare deny my grandchild? You can't give birth, but my daughter-in-law knows how to give birth! You don't have to say more. Now divide the property!" I calmly said: "I do not agree to divide this child. If we must divide, then we should let the law decide. That's what the court decides." "Okay! Don't regret it until then!" My mother-in-law aggressively led people out of the house. As soon as the door closed, I immediately burst out laughing through my tears. Linh Linh also laughed cheerfully next to him: "Very good! Reclaiming the common property from the little girl - there is justice!" My brother stood next to me, made a few phone calls, and told someone to prepare all the evidence. Lac Tung used to buy houses, cars, jewelry... for the little girl. I will reclaim every penny of the money Lac Tung spent on it. I trusted him so much, but I didn't expect it to all be an act. The couple's money is divided and managed separately. He eats from me, lives at my place, and then uses his own money to support his mistress. Little did my mother-in-law know that something that seemed certain in her hands - would one day "overturn the car". When the court ordered a DNA test to determine her parentage, she froze. The child's mother was also stunned. She had just graduated from college, had just entered life, how could she endure such a "slap" of reality? Hopefully after this lesson, she will know better. If you don't do anything, go back to being a junior. No name or status, following a married man and giving birth to their children. That day, my mother-in-law was rioting in court, crying and screaming: "He's been cremated! What the hell can I do to test him?!" The court immediately proposed a solution: Take test samples from the baby and his grandparents for comparison. My mother-in-law cried even louder: "My husband passed away a long time ago! Where else can I get samples now?" In the past, to hide it from me, no one except my mother-in-law knew that the child was Lac Tung's stepchild. So now — there is no way to prove that the boy is his son. The mother-in-law sat blankly on the court chair, her eyes lost. The baby was held tightly in her mother's arms, and she was also stunned. I smiled and walked over, saying: "Actually... I have another good news to tell you!" Tieu Tam raised his head and looked at me with red eyes: "What good news can you have? My child doesn't get to share the property, are you happy?!" I patted my chest and smiled faintly: "It was fun! It was extremely fun! But it's not over yet - there are more fun things waiting for you. Wait for the court to send you a warrant - I've already sued you. The things Lac Tung once bought for you: cars, houses, jewelry..., you will have to pay me back in full, every penny." She screamed: "Are you still human? The baby is so young, you treat him like that?!" I shrugged: "I'm dealing with you, not with the baby. It's not my child, but you're asking me to be nice to it? Young lady, don't be so ridiculous." Not paying attention to the mother and child crying behind me, nor caring that the frightened boy was crying loudly, I calmly turned around and left. 11 The verdict was made very quickly. Tieu Tam was forced to return all the money Lac Tung spent on her. The house where Lac Tung and I used to live was an asset in my name before marriage, so I changed the lock immediately, prohibiting my mother-in-law from entering. I also put the house up for sale and don't intend to live there anymore. I am currently living in another apartment on my brother's property. After a series of tiring and stressful days, I finally had a good night's sleep. I brought all kinds of seeds and went to the garden to plant vegetables. I thought — when they grow up, I will start my self-sufficient life. Three months ago, I never thought that the husband who said he loved me would disappear from the world in such a way. And now Now - I have beauty, money, I'm young, and I sent that scum husband to the grave. Why does it feel like fate made me a winner from the beginning? Perhaps... God does not disappoint people, everything is also God's will. Later, my mother-in-law continued to cause trouble a few times, but because the house was sold, she couldn't find me, so she ran to the company to cause trouble. I called the police and had someone escort her out. I even sent people to her hometown, spreading the news loudly everywhere: "Lac Tung cheated on his marriage and raised his third child. He was punished by heaven and died before he yawned. His mother is a thief, whoever has a wallet, remember to keep it safe!" It is said that even maternal relatives have to avoid her. She (Giang Chi) smiled and said to me: "Sure enough, no one in that family is good. My husband is also raising a daughter outside." I was stunned: "So... you don't want a divorce?" Giang Chi shook his head: "Everyone has their own way of living, I'm different from you - I don't hate evil so much that I have to be so cruel. Although my husband has raised people from outside, he hasn't caused any problems with children, and he spends money generously. Every month he gives me 30,000 living expenses, which is more than enough for me to support Tieu Viet. As for him, in my eyes, he's no different from a dead person now. And he has people from outside... I can have it too." My whole body got goosebumps. As expected, a bunch of bad people... Giang Chi is also not average. Evil people... will face evil people. From that day on, I never dared to contact her again. I'm scared. The world of cruel people is truly scary.
