Chapter 6 — I Give My Mother a Fever Reducing Drink During Pregnancy
My mother seemed crazy, wanted to chase her but couldn't keep up, her eyes were red, she was panting and stood for a long time before quietly returning to the factory.

That night, when my mother came home, it was strangely silent. No fuss, no crying, even though I reheated the entire dinner table, she didn't ask a single question. After eating, quietly return to the room to rest. My dad had a new boyfriend, of course he forgot all about the old one, divided the bedrooms, and didn't even look at my mom anymore. But I clearly saw my mother in the middle of the night, her face gloomy, standing in front of my grandmother's room, quietly eavesdropping on their low-voiced conversation about planning to take Kim Bao away.
“Raising a daughter doesn't cost much. Thu De studies well. The village chief also said that she will definitely have a future in the future. If she passes the university entrance exam, it's normal for her to earn tens of millions a month.
We must keep it close to us, absolutely not let that woman take it away. If she really makes a fuss, let her take Kim Bao away, after all, it's what she gave birth to in her belly." My father doesn't care much about where Kim Bao will go.
"What do girls study? Education is not free?"
“Oh, if she has the skills, she will earn money to study. If she doesn't, sooner or later she will have to quit and get married to earn a dowry.
This girl also has a brain, hasn't she been treating Kim Bao very well lately? This lady is old, and when my grandchild is born, I have to think about who will take care of him in the future. Is it possible to rely on that woman's illegitimate child? He doesn't have the same father as Kim Bao, who can worry about it? When my father heard what his grandmother said, he gradually calmed down.
"You're right, we have to plan a way out. Hold Thu De, leave Kim Bao for that woman to take away, who says her belly is useless."
The next day, my father immediately proposed a divorce. My mother of course did not agree, and received another beating. She thought that if she did not sign the form, even if she was pregnant, she would not be able to walk into the house with dignity.
"You beat me, beat me to death! If I don't die, I still won't divorce!"
"Fuck you! No divorce? Okay, I'll beat you to death today!"
"Don't want a divorce? You dare to cheat on me again! Do you have a divorce? Do you have a divorce?!"
"No divorce! Even if you beat me to death, there's no divorce!"
But my father didn't dare beat him to death - he was cruel, but he was afraid of going to jail. No matter how much I hate her, I only dare to think of ways to torture my mother every day. One mild attack per day, one severe attack every three days. My mother still gritted her teeth and refused to sign. At night, he hugged Kim Bao and cried silently, his body was covered in bruises, his legs were limping back and forth. During the day, you still have to go out to work. I can't go to work because my father absolutely won't give her any money. The house was as chaotic as a market, I counted the days, guessing how long my mother could last. But I didn't expect that she could really endure it. Until my father's wife had problems, my mother still refused to divorce.

My father kept coaxing his outside lover, my mother refused to divorce, and the other person never mentioned marriage. My father was impatient and had to return home to vent his anger by beating my mother. He was also a little cautious, planning to start with Tan Binh's maternal family. As a result, after secretly hiring an investigator, it was discovered that she and her ex-husband were still not completely resolved. My father was so angry that his nose was distorted. But how long have you been in a relationship? I can't believe that Tan Binh is that kind of person. She still has your son in her belly, how can you let go? So the next afternoon, he carried a bag of pork ribs to her house, intending to talk clearly. But ironically, as soon as he entered the yard, he saw Tan Binh's ex-husband coming out of the house, and her clothes were undone. My father "put on a green hat" on his head, got angry, rushed in and beat Tan Binh's ex-husband, questioning who the child in his belly belonged to. If you don't ask, that's fine. If you ask, it'll be even crazier. Her ex-husband was also not kind. After being beaten, he became even angrier and confessed that Tan Binh had been involved with many other men. After hearing this, my father became angry, pushed Tan Binh down and beat her until she had a miscarriage on the spot. Luckily, neighbors heard the commotion and ran to stop her in time to take her to the hospital. Tan Binh lost his child and his leg was broken again. My father demanded that she return all the money she had spent over the past year, otherwise he would sue her in court. Tan Binh bit down and didn't let go: "You volunteered to give it to me, I'm divorced, it's my right to know anyone. If you count it all, you're the one committing the crime of double marriage." Not only did she not get any money back, my father was also sued by her for compensation of five thousand. The child was no longer there, the grandfather was cuckolded, and my grandmother's dream of holding a grandchild was shattered. Only my mother was a little happy. But it wasn't fun for long. The story of my father being cheated on money and love spread throughout ten miles and eight villages. Losing face, he returned to beat my mother to vent his anger.
"It's all because of you! If you had divorced early, I wouldn't have lost face like this?!"
Grandma also followed suit and scolded her mother for saying that the comet had changed her life, and since she married into the family, she had had constant bad luck.
"That's right, grandma, this is mom's fault! If mom had agreed to divorce early, dad would have married Aunt Tan, our family wouldn't have lost face like this.
No matter how young she is, if she loses her child, she can still give you a younger brother." When my mother heard me teasing me like that, she went crazy and rushed forward to hit me, but she was slapped a few times by my grandmother and pushed back. My father grabbed my mother's hair and pulled her out, giving her two slaps in the ear. He's not a reasonable person, he only cares about letting go of his anger. Looking at her as pathetic as I was in my previous life, my heart was seething with joy, as if I had been given the strength to drag them even deeper into hell. I began to secretly persuade my father to divorce my mother. Then pretended to accidentally tell my grandmother about school.
"Grandma, my tablemate had a baby brother from my stepmother. Today she gave me a lot of happy candy, I'll share it with you!"
“I heard that your stepmother has been married three times and still treats you very well.”
Grandma received the candy and looked at me for a long time.
