Chapter 6 — I Raised My Children Alone

12Two years later, Giang Dien finally achieved what he wanted, marrying me and taking me home. What your mother said was right, even when she was gone, there were still many people who prevented me from entering the Giang family's house. To marry me, Giang Dien fought endlessly, offended many people, and firmly held the power of the Giang family in his hands. There are times when looking at him, even I feel tired for him. I ask you, is it worth it? He said, he just wanted to prove to me that he was still the same as before, still loved me as before, still willing to sacrifice everything, and would give me everything I wanted. He said, he has never changed. I looked into his tired eyes, remembering the old days, when we lived in a small room in the basement, with nothing, but his eyes were always as bright as stars, full of hope. Perhaps words can deceive, but love cannot. I think, my short reunion with Giang Dien was just supposed to be to tell each other that we will never meet again. But he didn't want to let me go, dragging things out to the point where there was no way back. On the wedding day, Giang Dien asked me: "Dong Nien, can we finally be happy?" I smiled and kissed his lips, softly saying: "Don't be stupid." Giang Dien seemed to have forgotten that my poor Tieu Bao, in the end, still couldn't wake up, forever staying as a six-year-old boy. I said: "Giang Dien, let us torture each other for the rest of our lives." Foreign version: The story of me and Giang Dien was written as a love story "broken mirror heals again." In the years after my marriage, I carried the title "Mrs. Giang," walking in a place of power and fame. Even though I don't come from a prestigious background, luckily I'm quite smart. It took me five years to learn what it took others twenty years to understand, and my position as "Mrs. Giang" became increasingly solid. As time passed, I realized that power and status are truly wonderful things. The girl named On Uyen, who once wanted to compete with me, I only heard her name at the banquet tables of a few big men. It was said that her family was about to go bankrupt, and she didn't know what to do to save the situation. In the end, she had to marry a mine boss twenty years older than her, and became the stepmother of three children. Power and status are truly cruel. Everyone competed to raise their glasses to congratulate me, saying that strong women like me are truly rare in this world. I smiled lightly, thinking to myself, I was just lucky enough to meet a lover. To be honest, that luck is not too good. But if I say I don't need it, maybe someone will say I'm overdoing it. When I got home it was two o'clock in the morning. Giang Dien was sleeping, but I saw a woman's lipstick stain on his shirt. Lately, he's often been "inadvertent" like that. I pretended not to see anything, took a shower, and crawled under the blanket. When I was about to sleep, Giang Dien suddenly asked me: "Dong Nien, why aren't you angry?" I turned around and saw him looking at me, his dark eyes staring at me as if trying to find some sign of sadness on my face. I gently kissed his lips and gently said: "Aren't all men like that?" Those who don't have things are always in turmoil. Once they have them, they don't know how to appreciate them. They love the new but get bored with the old, that's nature. I said: "Giang Dien, you gave me everything you thought was best. I'm not greedy, I no longer need your love a long time ago." He laughed softly, his laughter full of sadness. When I turned my back to him, he suddenly pressed down on me, grabbed my face, and kissed me fiercely. He said: “Okay, Dong

Nien, then let us torture each other for the rest of our lives like you said." Maybe love and hate are intertwined, that's how it is. End
