Chapter 1 — Husband Thanh Uncle

After she was widowed, her husband, despite the gossip, welcomed her and her daughter back to the capital. The neighbors were dissatisfied for me: "They go in and out together, even that child calls your husband father." I smiled and explained for him: "You're a widow, life is difficult, so it's only natural that you help." "The child misses his father, and the husband can't help but respond. Anyway, it's impossible to make such a small child sad." "It's okay." Even when a girl meets her husband on the street, crying and wanting to run, I comfort the child. little girl: "You got it wrong, that's your uncle." I took my daughter and prepared to leave. The husband stopped in front of us again: " Doanh Doanh, what nonsense are you talking about?" 1 I also did not expect Yen Khoanh Chuoc to pass by the door today. When Niem Niem saw him, she immediately called out loudly: "Dad!" I quickly covered her mouth: "That's my uncle." "The two of them look alike, I got it wrong." Unexpectedly, Yen Khoanh Chuoc overheard. He frowned: "What nonsense are you saying to me?" I softly explained: "There are many people like that on the street." "You guys declare to the outside that you are husband and wife." "I'm afraid others will talk about Niem Niem being my illegitimate child." Yen Khuh Chuoc frowned: "I've already explained it to you." "I'm afraid it will affect Ngu Phu's reputation so I said that." "Anyway, the fact that you are my wife is also true. She fought a bit. What's the point of that reputation?" I lost patience: "I'm not fighting. I'm just afraid that Niem Niem will be criticized by others." With tears in Chung Ngu Phu's eyes, she approached and pulled my hand: "If you care, I'll let Khuanh Chuoc come home a few more times a month, do you think it's okay?" "But you also know that I can't be without Nhiem Chuoc. Now Khuc Nhi also considers him her biological father." "Every month Two days back, do you think that's enough? "My husband has another woman's turn to make arrangements. If it were before, I would definitely have cried and made a fuss. But right now I just feel okay. I shook my head: "No need." "Right now Niem Niem no longer needs father like before." "It's almost dark, you guys should go home quickly." I thought they would leave quickly. Unexpectedly, Yen Khoanh Chuoc suddenly grabbed my hand, her voice filled with confusion: " Doanh Doanh, what's wrong with you?" 2 No matter what I advised, Yen Khoanh Chuoc still insisted on staying at home overnight: "It must be because I haven't been with you and your mother for too long." "That's why you've become distant from me." I smiled wryly: "Currently, Niem Niem and I are in the same place, I'm afraid your room hasn't been cleaned yet." Sac Yen Khoanh Chuoc's face became unsightly: "Is there a lack of servants in the house?" "Just tell someone to clean up." I was silent for a few beats and then said: "Okay." "Then I will send someone to buy a few more servants." Yen Khoanh Chuoc stood frozen in place. He finally remembered that after Chung Ngu Phu returned to the capital, she used the excuse of looking at things and missing people, determined not to return to the Yen family. She also said she wanted to use the old servants from the past and transfer all the servants in the house to her cottage. At that time, she said: "In the house there are only my sister and Niem Niem, why do we need so many people?" "Having one or two people to serve is enough." To the point that when Niem Niem had a high fever, I couldn't find the driver. The remaining two servants who did heavy work all drank to the point of intoxication: "The lady said, children are very susceptible to illness." "Just endure it and you'll be fine." Later, the servants in the house were all hired by me using the dowry money. They are loyal and obedient, listening only to me. I used the excuse of coaxing Niem Niem to sleep, ignoring Yen Khiem Chuoc's desire to stop talking, and almost ran away from the flower hall. 3 Late at night, Niem Niem lay down.

on the bed, eyes as big and round as grapes stared at me. The girl stirred a few times and then asked: "Mother, is today's person really your uncle?" "Why is he so similar to father?" I didn't know how to answer. It's my business to hate Yen Khuh Chuoc, but Niem Niem is still young and needs a father. I stroked her soft sideburns: "Does Niem Niem miss dad?" Niem Niem answered very quickly: "I don't remember." I was a bit surprised. Niem Niem cracked her fingers: "Father stole mother's jewelry for her uncle, stole Niem Niem's kite for brother." "When Niem Niem had a fever, mother carried me and ran in the snow." "But when passing by the carriage, I saw father holding brother. I called him, but father did not respond." Tears blurred my vision. When I carried Niem Niem to find the doctor, I indeed met Yen Khuh Chuoc's carriage. I cried and begged him to take Niem Niem to the medical clinic. Yen Khoanh Chuoc lost patience: "In the past, every time I helped Ngu Phu, she cried, rioted and wanted to live and die." "Now she still uses the child as an excuse." "If this time I agree with you, next time I don't know what tricks she will come up with to wait for me." "No way. Hurry up and take the child home. How can a woman just show her face on the street!" When I carry Niem Niem on my back, I can't. At the hospital, his feet were cracked from the cold and bleeding profusely. I thought Niem Niem was unconscious at that time. Unexpectedly, she heard everything. Niem Niem hugged my neck: "Mom, don't cry." "Nien Niem, just having a mother is enough." "It's always been like this, from now on I won't need a father." At that time, I realized that I had cried until tears covered my face. I raised my hand to hug Niem Niem's chest: "Okay, mother and Niem Niem being together forever is enough." 4 After coaxing Niem Niem to sleep, it was already late at night. Fatigue and sadness mixed together make us not sleep well, yet we dream about the past. Me, Chung Ngu Phu, Yen Khanh Chuoc and your elder brother, the four of us grew up together. Since childhood, Yen Khoanh Chuoc has been closer to Chung Ngu Phu. But the year I got married, he took the initiative to ask for his hand: "I've liked you for a long time." "Now that your sister is about to marry my elder brother, why don't you marry me?" I ignored the loss and unwillingness in his eyes, trying to suppress my shyness and agree. On the wedding night, I confessed my feelings to him: "Actually, I have liked you since I was little." "I still remember the story of you chasing away the hoodlums for me." "I will respect and love you. We will live well together in the future." The only answer I got was Yen Khuh Chuoc's snores. He got himself extremely drunk and slept through the wedding night. The next day, the story of me not being liked by Yen Khuanh Chuoc spread everywhere. Outsiders say that when I was still in the bedroom, I was not as good as Chung Ngu Phu. So even after getting married, she was not loved by her husband. I tried to suppress my self-pity and tried my best to please him. But Yen Khuh Chuoc's heart will always turn to the branch leader. In the palace, lychee was ordered and Yen Khoanh Chuoc brought it to Chung Ngu Phu. His mother bought silk for his two daughters-in-law, and Yen Khoanh Chuoc also never allowed me to choose first. He said: "Inherently, you are ordinary, no matter how good you use it, it will only be a waste." "It's best to leave it to Ngu Phu." He did not call Chung Ngu Phu his sister-in-law. On the tip of his tongue will forever be gently entwined with the two words "Ngu Phu". The day Chung Ngu Phu became pregnant, he rushed into the room like crazy, despite it being the middle of the day, and pressed her down on the bed. I begged him: "Don't be like that, there are still people out there." Yen Khuanh Chuoc's eyes were red: "On the big wedding night, she shamelessly said she liked a man." "After getting married."

Kissing and seducing day in and day out, recommending sex. Isn't this what you want?" "What's the point of pretending to be noble?" He said frantically: "Ngu Phu grew up with us, so why is the person she chooses the big brother?" "It must be because I helped her that she didn't choose me. Comet like you, I already knew that and I left you to be humiliated by a group of thugs." "Now you should atone for your sins and save my child. I don't believe she can not be jealous." Only then did I understand, it turned out that everything I had was because of Chung Ngu Phu. Yen Khanh Chuoc knew that Chung Ngu Phu wanted to marry his brother, so in anger he asked me to marry him. Now he wanted me to give birth to a child, just because he wanted to make her jealous. I helplessly looked at the shaking curtain, thinking in despair. This life of mine. It's not worth it. 5 In the following days, the branch leader's yard was bustling with excitement. Yen Nhanh Chuoc tormented me even more. It seemed that only by using this method could he complete his revenge on Chung Ngu Phu. At that time, Yen Nhanh Chuoc was extremely disgusted: "Having the child of a man who doesn't love you, you can still laugh." "Chung Doanh Doanh, you really have no shame." I really need this child. On the one hand, I can stop the times you humiliated me. On the other hand... Yen family always has many criticisms about me not being pregnant. With this child, I will have support for the next half of my life. After Chung Ngu Phu gave birth to Yen Khuc, I also tried to give birth to a lovely white girl also smiled. Yen Doanh Chuoc truly loved this daughter. When he stayed at the main courtyard, he was willing to act in front of her as parents loved each other. His eyes were gentle: " Doanh Doanh, I was wrong for you in the past." "In the future, we will live well." Niem Niem lay in his arms, one hand pulling her, the other holding her father, smiling extremely happily and contentedly. Looking at her, my heart is as soft as water But God does not please people, Yen Khoanh Chuoc's brother suddenly passed away. Yen Khoanh Chuoc traveled thousands of miles and brought Chung Ngu Phu and his son back to the capital. On the day the coffin entered the city, Chung Ngu Phu wore mourning clothes, and was protected by Yen Khoanh. His eyes no longer fell on me and Niem Niem I will take care of you." Feeling the secret joy and desire to possess Yen Khoanh Chuoc, I understood that this man had completely abandoned us and my mother. I covered Niem Niem's eyes and gently nodded: "Okay." 6 During the days without Yen Khoanh Chuoc, at first I was a bit unfamiliar. But after getting used to it, I felt like there was another person who only made me feel entangled. Early the next morning, Niem Niem was like a new person. The little bird hugged me and insisted on going out at noon. I fondly patted her head: "Okay, then let's go out to eat." A voice suddenly came from outside the door: "What are you two talking about?" The figure of Yen Khoanh Chuoc appeared outside the courtyard door. Yen Nhiem Niem and I seemed to be silent at the same time. He squatted in front of Niem Niem. What is Niem saying to his mother? Tell me too.” “Early in the morning, father went to buy cinnamon flower cakes for Niem Niem.”
