Chapter 5 — I Was Evicted From Home In The Middle Of The Night, I Rebuilt A Home For My Children

Tenth day after moving into the motel room. I received a phone call from Ms. Luu, the kindergarten principal.

“Miss To, this afternoon a woman came to pick up Niem Niem.”

“Said it was asked by the child's grandmother.”

“We do not allow pick-ups.”

“Let's see how it goes.”

I immediately stood up.

“Which woman?”

“She said her name was Trieu Tieu Man.”

“Dress very politely.”

“Say that Mrs. Vuong asked her to take Niem Niem out.”

Trieu Tieu Man. Going to school to pick up my daughter. I hung up. Take a half hour break at the supermarket. Then drove the borrowed electric car to the kindergarten. Niem Niem has finished school. The teacher was in the classroom looking after her, waiting for me. When I walked in. Niem Niem is sitting and assembling toys. The child immediately ran over. I squatted down and held my child in my arms.

“Is anyone coming to look for you today?”

“A girl wearing a pink dress.”

“She brought you chocolate.”

“But Ms. Liu won't let me eat.”

“Miss Liu did the right thing.”

"From now on, other than mom and aunt, no one who comes to pick you up will be allowed to come along."

“Why?”

“Because bad people will also give candy to children.”

Niem Niem immediately widened her eyes. Nodding vigorously. I carried my child out of the school gate. Going to the parking area, I saw two people. Vuong Tu Lan. Next to her was a young woman wearing a pink dress. The abdomen has protruded slightly. Trieu Tieu Man. I stopped walking. Vuong Tu Lan also saw me. Her face showed no remorse at all. On the contrary, he was the one who opened his mouth first.

“I heard you moved to a boarding house in the suburbs?”

“Now you still work as a cashier at the supermarket?”

Turns out she had already investigated everything. Trieu Tieu Man stood next to him. Place your hands on your stomach. Gently raise your chin.

“Sister-in-law... No, you shouldn't call her that anymore.”

“Sister To, I have no bad intentions.”

“I just want to visit Niem Niem.”

“Anyway, from now on, Niem Niem will have to call me—”

“Shut up.”

My voice is not loud. But Trieu Tieu Man was immediately stunned. I picked up Niem Niem and put her on the front seat of the tram. Put the child's seat belt on. Then turned around.

“Vuong Tu Lan.”

“You sent the woman outside to pick up my daughter.”

“Have you asked my opinion?”

“I am his grandmother—”

“When you kicked her out of bed at two in the morning, did you remember that you were her grandmother?”

Vuong Tu Lan's face stiffened.

“To Van, don't be unreasonable.”

“I let Tieu Man visit Niem Niem to show you respect.”

“In the future, Niem Niem will have to admit sooner or later…”

“She doesn't have to acknowledge anyone.”

"His last name is Han, but his mother's last name is To."

“Don't you dare touch her.”

Trieu Tieu Man, standing next to her, quickly interjected:

"Sister To, why do you have to be like that? Han Thanh already..."

“I told you to shut up.”

“Don't you understand human language?”

My voice is not loud. But Trieu Tieu Man immediately took half a step back. I got on the tram. Carry Niem Niem away. After walking more than ten meters, Vuong Tu Lan's voice still echoed from behind.

“You've been abandoned but you still speak loudly!”

“Let's see how long you can last alone!”

Return to the motel room. Niem Niem sat on the bed again, painting. I went to the end of the hallway to wash my face. When she returned, she discovered that she had just completed a new painting. An adult. Bring a child.

“Mom, who were you just now?”

“Unfamiliar person.”

“Then why is grandma standing with her?”

I was silent for a few seconds.

"...Friend grandmother's."

Niem Niem made a soft "ah" sound.

“Grandma hasn't come to visit me for a long time.”

I sat down on the edge of the bed. Pull the baby into your arms.

“Nem Niem.”

“Do you like living with mom?”

“But it's too small here, there's no flower garden.”

“In the future, I will find you a big house.”

“There's also a flower garden.”

“Really, Mom?”

Niem Niem immediately smiled brightly. Stuff the picture into my hand.

“Then I will draw another garden!”

The baby was lying face down on the bed. Seriously draw another flower. Then draw another tree. At that moment the phone rang. It's To Mang.

“The court has approved the request to preserve assets before filing a lawsuit.”

“Tomorrow, all real estate and bank accounts in the names of Han Thanh and Vuong Tu Lan will be frozen.”

I tightened my grip on the phone. My eyes stopped on the flower in Niem Niem's painting. Red flower. She painted very vigorously. So strong that it almost tore the paper.

“There's one more thing.”

To Mang's voice lowered a bit.

“I checked the statement of the supplementary card that Han Thanh used.”

“From March last year to June this year.”

“In total, he transferred 194,000 yuan to Zhao Xiaoman.”

“All are common property during the marriage period.”

194,000 yuan. I save every penny. I don't even dare buy a new set of clothes. He always said the company was in trouble. Tell me not to waste money. But at the same time. He transferred 194,000 yuan to another woman.

“What happens after the assets are frozen?”
