Old Liu stammered: "I... I didn't do anything!" “I just saw poor Ngo Linh so I gave her some food…” I looked at him with eyes that seemed to crush me. “You old bastard, you don't know how to repent.” “Wait, I'll show you later what regret is.” I rushed into his house like a firecracker, swung my wooden stick, and smashed it to pieces! I destroyed Mr. Liu's house to the point of destruction, I smashed all my belongings like a pile of scrap. The old man was scared by my anger, his face turned pale, he didn't dare to stop, he could only stand to one side trembling, begging: "Don't hit me anymore... please don't hit me anymore..." "It's my fault, I'm sorry to Ngo Linh..." "I shouldn't..." At that moment, several police officers walked in. I immediately panicked. Could it be… they came to arrest me? Sure. I just smashed someone's house to pieces! My life is over... I was still confused and didn't know what to do, when I saw a policeman glanced at me, then turned to look at Mr. Liu, loudly asking: "Who is Liu Kien?" Old Luu trembled like a leaf and stammered: "I... I am..." "Someone accused you of molesting children. Please follow us back to the station to work." So the police took him away. From then on, Mr. Luu no longer had the face to show his face outside the village. I still wonder — why did the police arrive at such a timely moment? Who called the police? Ngo Minh walked up to me, as if reading my thoughts: "Mom, I called the police." "I'm afraid that Mr. Liu will harm you, I'm afraid you'll suffer a loss." This kid... actually knows how to take care of me, right? I patted Ngo Minh's head, smiled and said: "Your mother has never suffered a loss, has she?" Ngo Minh looked up, his eyes full of admiration: "Mom, you're really good!" Ngo Linh cried and threw herself into my arms: "Mom, I was wrong..." "I will never accept other people's things again..." I gently stroked her hair, softly said: "Idiot, I don't blame you." “It's my fault, mother, for not teaching me how to protect myself.” When I got home, I gave them a lecture on personal defense. The two of them listened attentively, nodding continuously like chickens pecking rice. Under my "oppression", the two children were as obedient as two obedient kittens. Girls cook, boys sweep the house. I lay down and scrolled through my phone, life couldn't be more comfortable. As long as the male lead hasn't returned, my evil stepmother's life will still continue. Physical torture is not enough, the mind must also be "tortured" to be complete! Every morning, at exactly six o'clock, the alarm rings and I wake the two of us up. Memorizing literature, memorizing English... call it a full study schedule! In the evening, in addition to the homework assigned by teachers, there are also advanced lessons, advanced math, practice exams... lined up waiting to be processed. It can't be done, it's basically impossible. That night, the two of them were busy doing their homework, when suddenly the door opened. “What are you guys doing?” I was stunned. In front of me is a mature, handsome man with a mature demeanor. "Dad! You're finally home!" The two children shouted and rushed into the man's arms. I looked dumbfounded at Ngo Dai Vy — the husband of the original owner. At this time, the system finally rang: 【The male lead has returned。】 【Waiting for him to find out that she abused the children, then divorce her - her mission will be completed.】 (4) Seeing the scene before him, Ngo Dai Vy asked his son in doubt. Boy: "Ngo Minh, it's late and I can't sleep, what are you doing?" “Do advanced exercises.” Ngo Minh answered and returned to the table to continue solving the problem. Ngo Linh pulled Ngo Dai Vy's hand and cooed: "Dad, remember to buy mom a big gold bracelet with a huge gold necklace tomorrow~" Ngo Dai Vy was stunned, his face full of surprise, frozen for a few seconds. Then he laughed and gently said: "Okay, I'll go buy it tomorrow." I almost dropped my chin to the ground. Scratching his head and ears, his mind was confused and confused. Wha… what is that? Obviously the children should have told Ngo Dai Vy that I was mistreating them! Probably because I'm still here, they're afraid to tell the truth. I'm afraid that as soon as I tell him, I'll break my leg. I showed understanding and said softly: "Husband, you've been gone for so long, the two kids must miss you a lot, there's probably a lot of things they want to talk to you about." “I... I'll go upstairs and sleep first.” After saying that, I turned around and ran into the room. As long as I leave, they will definitely immediately accuse me. I started packing my luggage, waiting for Ngo Dai Vy to come find me... for divorce. The next day, I happily waited for the divorce. Just divorce, mission accomplished! Unexpectedly, the neighbor Mrs. Vuong ran over aggressively: "Dai Vy, Dai Vy! Luckily you're back!" “If you don't come back, the two children will probably be beaten to death by this cruel stepmother!” Ngo Dai Vy was stunned: "Mrs. Vuong... what did you say?" Mrs. Vuong started blaming me: "You haven't been home all day, she forced the two children to eat eggs every day, eating them to the point of vomiting!" Ngo Dai Vy: "Eating eggs is good, it adds nutrition to the children." Mrs. Vuong: "She forces the children to chop wood, cook rice, carry water, do laundry... If they don't work, they don't give them food!" Ngo Dai Vy: "This will train your child's ability to survive." Mrs. Vuong still refused to give up: "She doesn't let the children go out to play, forcing them to do one lesson after another. You see, the children are exhausted!" Ngo Dai Vy: "That's why my academic performance improved." He smiled: "I have to thank Tan Nhien very much. Thanks to her, the two children were taught so well." Mrs. Vuong rolled her eyes: "What's good is good!" “She introduced me to someone even better: her niece!” "Beautiful, good figure, and I don't mind you having your own child." “Someday she will bring it to show me!” I felt so happy inside: Ngo Dai Vy will definitely divorce me this time! But... "Mrs. Vuong, I have Tan Nhien and that's enough." “I don't want to find anyone else.” Ngo Dai Vy turned to look at me, his eyes were gentle and deep: "Obviously he has good intentions, but he is treated like pig liver - really unreasonable!" Mrs. Vuong angrily cursed, then angrily left. Ngo Dai Vy grabbed my hand and said softly: "Nien Nhien, from now on I will treat you well for the rest of my life." I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. {Read the full story at Van Ha Tuong page} "This is all my savings, give it all to me." As Ngo Dai Vy spoke, he took out a card from his pocket and stuffed it into my hand. “In the future, I will try to make more money, so you can live happily.” I looked at Ngo Dai Vy and said seriously: "I want... a divorce." Ngo Dai Vy was stunned, not believing his ears. Stunned for a moment, he muttered: "Divorce... I don't agree." At this moment, Ngo Minh and Ngo Linh came home from school and heard us talking about each other "divorce" story. The two children threw their bags aside, ran to hug my legs, and cried loudly: "Mom, please don't divorce Dad!" "Mom, we will obediently listen and won't make you angry again!" “Mom, let us do all the housework, you just need to lie down and scroll on your phone!” “Mom, we will study very well and come first in the class!” ……
