“There's no use crying.”

“Tears don't solve anything.”

Right at that moment. The baby woke up. Start crying. I picked up the baby. Gently rocking and comforting.

“The boy must be hungry.”

Mother-in-law said heartbroken.

“Hieu Vu, come in and breastfeed your baby.”

“Let mom clean it up for you.”

I carried the baby back to the room. Breastfeeding. Look at the little face attentively drinking milk. A warm current suddenly welled up in my heart. Regardless of Tran Chi Vien. I still have this baby. The boy is my hope. It's also the motivation for me to keep going. After breastfeeding. I put the baby down on the bed. Then he picked up the phone and called Tieu Ly. My lawyer friend.

“I want to ask something about divorce.”

“Do you want a divorce?”

Tieu Ly was extremely surprised.

“What happened?”

I briefly tell the whole story.

“Tran Chi Vien is really too much!”

Tieu Ly said angrily.

“You can rest assured.”

“In this case.”

“If you divorce, you will have complete control.”

“I want custody of the children.”

“No problem.”

“The baby is still breastfeeding.”

“The court would normally give custody to the mother.”

Tieu Ly said.

“Tran Chi Vien committed adultery.”

“This is extremely disadvantageous for him.”

“So what about property division?”

Tieu Ly asked.

“Is the house an asset before marriage or after marriage?”

“The house was bought by his family before marriage.”

“But after we got married we paid the loan together.”

“Then you can request a share of the increased value corresponding to the installment payment after marriage.”

Tieu Ly explained.

"Besides."

“Because he had an affair.”

“You can also claim compensation for mental damages.”

“So can you help me prepare the documents?”

"No problem."

“I will start preparing tomorrow.”

After hanging up. I feel a little more secure. Legally. I will not suffer loss. Afternoon. I am sitting in the living room playing with my child. The doorbell rang again. Mom was the one who opened the door. When you come back. Her face was extremely unsightly.

“It's your father-in-law.”

I stopped. My father-in-law rarely comes to our house. Why did he suddenly appear?

“Let Dad in.”

Father-in-law entered the living room. He looked extremely haggard. Her hair seems to have turned a bit gray. He called out to me. Hoarse voice. I stood up.

“Where is the baby?”

The mother-in-law carried the baby over. My father-in-law accepted me. Look at the boy's little face. His eye rims were red.

“Exactly like Chi Vien when he was young.”

“Dad, why are you here?”

Father-in-law sighed softly.

“I heard your mother tell me everything.”

It turned out that his mother-in-law had told him Tran Chi Vien's story.

“Dad, I'm sorry.”

I don't know what to say.

“What are you sorry for?”

Father-in-law shook his head.

“It's our family's fault for you.”

“Not teaching Chi Vien well.”

“Let me suffer so much pain.”

“What do you want to do?”

“Our family all supports you.”

Father-in-law said.

“If you want a divorce.”

“My parents won't stop me.”

“It's just that…”

He bowed his head and looked at the baby in his arms.

“This child.”

“I hope I can still see you from time to time in the future.”

Listen to those words. I was extremely moved in my heart. Tran Chi Vien's parents are both good people. Just regret that. They have a son who is not close.

“He will always be my grandson.”

"That will not change.”

I said softly.

“Thank you, Hieu Vu.”

Father-in-law's tears silently fell.

“It's our family's fault for you.”

“Dad, don't say that.”

My father-in-law stayed at our house all afternoon. He always carried the baby in his arms. Can't bear to let it go. Before leaving. He gave me a bank card.

“There's a hundred thousand yuan in here.”

“It's money for the baby.”

Father-in-law said.

“Every month from now on.”

“Your parents will also send you child support.”

“Dad, there's really no need.”

I quickly refused.

“Must accept.”

Father-in-law said firmly.

“The child is innocent.”

“We can't let him suffer because of Chi Vien's mistake.”

After seeing off my father-in-law. I looked at the bank card in my hand. The mood is extremely complicated. Tran Chi Vien's parents are so good. Why did he become like this? I lie on the bed. Think back to everything that happened in the past few days. From the time I gave birth until now. In just a few short days. My life has changed dramatically. I am a woman who always relies on her husband. You must consult him about anything. And now. I had to face the divorce myself. Raise your children yourself.
