Chapter 1 — From Stepmother to CEO Selling Apples

After dying from a serious illness, I moved to a small village and became an evil stepmother. Every day I sent my son up the mountain to chop firewood, forced my daughter to wash clothes... thinking of all kinds of ways to torture them. A year later, the male lead returned from working as a hired laborer. I waited for him to come home so I could get a divorce. The daughter happily shouted: "Dad, quickly go buy mom a big pot of gold and a big gold necklace!" I: "???" …… (1) System: “Your mission is to be an evil stepmother, the more evil the better.” “Wait until the male lead comes home, divorce him, your mission will be completed.” I swore confidently and said: "Being an evil stepmother, to me, is just like eating a meal!" I glared, looking at the two pitiful little children in front of me... "Being an evil stepmother, to me, is like eating a simple meal of vegetables." I squinted my eyes, looked at the two poor children in front of me, preparing to begin my evil plan. “Ngo Minh, go up the mountain and chop firewood.” I coldly ordered my son. He glared at me, eyes full of resentment. But because I was young and didn't have the strength to resist, I had to bow my head and follow. “Ngo Linh, I'm going to do laundry.” I yelled at my daughter. Ngo Linh pouted, her face was unwilling, and she slowly went to wash clothes. Looking at the two people's angry looks, I burst out laughing. Ngo Linh is trying hard to rub things. I said proudly: "If you don't wash it cleanly, you can't eat eggs tonight." Because of poor nutrition, the two of them were as skinny as two bean sprouts. Ngo Linh raised her head in disbelief and asked: "Eating eggs?" I softened my voice and said: "From now on as punishment, you must eat one chicken egg every day." Ngo Linh glared at me and said in a cold voice: "The devil believes it, how could it be that mom was so kind yesterday?" In the evening, I stuffed eggs into the children's hands and forced them to eat them. Being an evil stepmother is not easy. There is a bad reputation but there are too many things to worry about. Early the next morning, I was still dreaming, when I was woken up by loud cursing: "Damn Ngo Minh, your son is a thief!" “He stole my son's transforming robot, you have to pay!” Ngo Minh stole things? I quickly got dressed and ran out the door, only to see Aunt Ly next door rolling her eyes, pointing at Ngo Minh's forehead and scolding loudly: "This stray dog raised something that dares to steal my child's toys!" "Your family is so poor, if you can't buy it, that's fine. Do you still want to steal?" “Today, this lady will cut off your hand and teach you how to be a good human being!” There were two red handprints on Ngo Minh's face. The boy bowed his head, feeling so sorry for himself that he burst into tears. She dared to hit Ngo Minh? Anger immediately flared up in my heart. I shouted angrily: "Do you dare? This is your son, it's not your turn to teach!" I rushed up, "pop pop" and slapped him twice. Then he threw a kick and hit Aunt Ly in the stomach. She was in so much pain that she held her stomach and moaned: "You rotten bitch, dare to hit me?" "I'll call the police! Say you hit someone! Say your son is a thief!" I put my hands on my hips and sprayed a mouthful of saliva straight into her face: "Just report!" “What the hell are you afraid of!” Aunt Ly was about to call the police, but at that moment, her son ran out of the house... holding a transforming toy. “Mom, mom…” “I found the transforming robot.” Aunt Ly's face immediately turned green like a blade of grass. She asked awkwardly: "You... you... didn't you say Ngo Minh stole?" Aunt Ly's son bowed his head: "The transforming robot fell I looked under the bed and couldn't find it." "I... I was afraid... afraid that my mother would hit me, so I said Ngo Minh took it." The child cried while telling the story clearly. Ngo Minh's family was poor and had not been loved or cared for since childhood. Before, when people were slandered, I could only swallow my tears. Aunt Ly knew she was wrong, her face turned gray, she bowed her head and pulled her son to escape. I shouted loudly: “Stop! If you do something wrong, you can't say it's just like that!" “You slandered my son, you must apologize to him properly!” Ngo Minh raised his head to look at me, his eyes as if he were looking at a hero descending to earth. I smiled at him. {Read in full at Van Ha's love page} "You slandered my son, you must apologize to him clearly." Ngo Minh raised his head to look at me, his eyes as if he were looking at a hero in a time of chaos. I responded to him: "Do you know how powerful this mother is?" "If you don't listen to me in the future, I will break your ears and take them to stir-fry to eat!" Ngo Minh clutched his ears in panic, ran home on all fours. What an obedient child. After this incident, he thought I would get angry, so he gingerly brought his head closer. He took a long, thin ruler, brought it in front of me, and said in a low voice: "Hit me." I picked up the ruler and smiled coldly: "Beating my mother is even more tiring." “Punish me on doing 50 math problems tonight.” “If you don't finish it, you can't sleep.” Ngo Minh immediately looked miserable. He is very poor at math, and is most afraid of doing calculation exercises. I, this cruel stepmother, have truly achieved great success. (2) As soon as we entered the house, the neighbor Mrs. Vuong quickly ran after us. She saw Ngo Minh's face being red and swollen, so she pulled the boy's hand and asked, "Are you being beaten by your stepmother again?" Before waiting for Ngo Minh to answer, I loudly said: "I hit you." What does it have to do with you?” After saying that, I calmly picked up the apple on the table and nibbled it, looking like I didn't care at all. Ngo Minh frantically explained to Mrs. Vuong for a while. After listening, she half believed and half doubted: "It's intentionally pretending." “Such a cruel woman, unbelievable.” I just laughed when I heard that. I didn't pay attention to what other people said. After all, my reputation as an "evil stepmother" has spread far and wide. At night, while engrossed in watching a movie, Ngo Linh ran over in panic: "Mom! I'm about to die!” I rolled my eyes and looked at her from head to toe: "You're normal, why do you say that...?" Ngo Linh held her stomach with her hand, trembling and said: "My stomach hurts so much... and I'm bleeding a lot..." I looked closely and saw that her white pants were stained with a bright red patch. It turns out... she started her period. I was so scared that I almost stopped breathing. But still decided to tease it a bit. I said with a serious face: "Yes, there's so much blood..." "I probably... won't be able to survive tonight." As soon as Ngo Linh heard it, she burst into tears: "I'm still so young, I don't want to die..." "Hu hu hu... I don't want to die..." Looking at him crying was so heart breaking... I really couldn't help it, laughing until tears flowed from my eyes. “I'm about to die but you still laugh so happily, you're so cruel!” I pulled her into the room and said, "Don't worry, you can't die." Ngo Linh still didn't believe it: "But why are you bleeding?" “Bleeding so much… won't you die?” I patted her head: "Idiot, you're just... on your period." “Who is menstruation? I don't know that person." Ngo Linh blinked, her face extremely innocent ask me. I patiently explained: "Menstruation is..." After listening, Ngo Linh's mood finally calmed down. I took a package of sanitary napkins and taught it how to use it. Then make her a cup of red sugar water and give it to her: "Drink it, your stomach will hurt less." Ngo Linh drank and looked at me with grateful eyes: "Mom, you are so kind!"
