Chapter 2
Chapter 2 — Mother-in-law scolded me for being greedy for inheritance, so I immediately broke off the relationship
The more she talked, the more agitated she became. Towards the end, the corner of his mouth curled up with pleasure, as if he was enjoying the feeling of revenge. She looked like a crazy person at that time. I nodded slightly. Her son is dead. So what reason do I have to continue caring about this ex-mother-in-law? When Chu Vu was still alive, she treated me extremely harshly. Now that Chu Vu is gone, she doesn't even bother to pretend to be nice. If you need me, just call and tell me. If you don't need it, just treat me like a dog. The last time she called me, it was to warn me not to bring the two children to her house for Tet. Just because they are "too similar to me".
“Looking at that face makes me feel angry.”
She also went everywhere saying that I killed Chu Vu. He even pulled two children together and asked:
“Your mother killed your father, but you still call her mother?”
“What a bunch of damned people.”
"Why don't you avenge your father? Kill your mother, that will be a good son."
The day I found out about it, I was so angry that my whole body trembled. My head was dizzy, my back was covered in cold sweat. The two children were so young, yet she filled their heads with such resentment and cruelty. Teach your child to kill his mother... Is that kind of person still worthy of being a grandmother? From that day on, I never left the two children alone with her again. I also clearly told my children the truth about Chu Vu's death, and even showed them the case file. Chu Vu obviously died from an unexpected accident. He was driving normally when an out-of-control truck came straight at him. His death has absolutely nothing to do with me. But Luu Xuan Mai always assumed that I was the murderer who killed her son. Every day, I open my mouth and say that I "kill my husband". Especially after the two million six million accident compensation was transferred to me, she became even more crazy. At first she never mentioned that amount of money. Even said:
"This money is for raising two children, I don't need it."
But after I actually received the compensation, her face changed again. Every day, he finds excuses to cause trouble and makes fun of me. If something happens, curse. If there's nothing wrong, try to find something to scold. Before, I used to feel pitiful for her. When she was young, she lost her husband. When he was old, he lost his son. As a woman over sixty years old living so alone, I truly sympathized with her. I understand that she has mood swings and psychological problems. So for many years, I have always refrained. Always take a step back. Never even really got angry with her. But today... Her words made my heart cold. If I really did something wrong and was blamed by her, I could still be patient. But today, I am dedicated to this extent. I carried her around the hospital until her limbs were weak. Yet she can still say such cruel words. How can people be so unscrupulous? I really don't understand anymore. I took a deep breath and calmly looked at her.
“You're right.”
“Chu Vu is dead.”
“Between me and you, from now on there will no longer be any relationship.”
"From today, completely cut off. From now on, no more contact."
After speaking, I took her phone. Right in front of her, I calmly deleted my name from her contact list. Used her face to unlock the phone, then erased all contact methods related to me. One by one. Don't leave anything out. After There, right in front of her, I also blocked all of her contacts on my phone.
“You're right.”
“Chu Vu is dead.”
“From now on, there will no longer be any relationship between me and you.”
“My lawyer will contact you shortly.”
"Today's medical examination fee, wages, loss of work... you pay me in full."
Luu Xuan Mai was completely dumbfounded. She was startled by my sudden cold attitude.
“What...what did you say?”
“Are you really going to leave an old woman like me in the hospital?”
I just quietly looked at her. There was no longer anger in his eyes. No more pity. Only a very faint, very calm bit of pity remained. But I didn't say anything more. Just turned around and left. Amid Luu Xuan Mai's constant cursing, I decided to let her sit on the chair right next to the hospital's most foul-smelling bathroom. Then turned and left. Don't look back. Don't pay attention to the shrill screams or the throat-tearing curses. In my heart, there is only a light and liberating feeling of pleasure left. I know, this definitely doesn't end here. Luu Xuan Mai will find a way to cause trouble no matter what. But I'm not afraid. I even hoped she would dare to come first. So when I counter attack, I can play for good measure. When I got home, my two little kids were getting ready to go to school. I took them downstairs, stopped by the familiar breakfast restaurant, and sat with them to eat a simple but warm meal. After that, I took them both to school. Seeing them safely enter the gate, my whole body felt like a weight had been lifted from my body. The long, stressful morning can finally loosen up a bit. My work is very busy and I don't have much time for my children. In my rare free time, I get to pick them up, sit down to eat together, or cook a simple meal for my children - that's how I show my love. The two children already no longer have a father, so I can only try my best to fill some of the father's void in their hearts. I have never asked my husband's family to treat me well. I just hope they don't continue to torment me, stop disturbing the lives of my parents and my children - that's all. Ten years ago, Chu Vu and I both quit our jobs at the hospital and started our own cosmetic clinic.
