Chapter 5 — Mother's Application for Money

When I was young, she constantly slandered me, causing me to receive countless beatings. Every time she was beaten for one reason - she scored worse than me. I didn't expect that after going to college, she still hated me so much. While I was absent-minded, Ly Huyen suddenly counterattacked, forcefully pushing me down against the door. My roommate immediately rushed up, forming a human wall in front of me. Unable to touch me, Ly Huyen could only glare indignantly. The incision stings, then gradually feels wet. I reached down and touched it, my whole hand was covered in blood! Several female students watching were so scared that they lost their color and screamed: "Ah! Blood!" “She… she's bleeding!” Maybe because I was too emotional, or maybe the impact just now was too heavy, my incision opened again. The searing pain made me suck in a cold breath. Ly Huyen still bared his fangs and claws, intending to push through the crowd to attack me. The sound of rapid footsteps rang out from the end of the hallway, the instructor shouted loudly: "Everyone disband, go to your room now!" "Classmate Duong Gia Di just had an appendectomy and is still in the hospital. Who dares to spread nonsense news? Once investigated, they will be strictly dealt with according to school discipline, absolutely no tolerance!" The girls had to leave awkwardly. Ly Huyen lowered his head and tried to hide in his room, but the teacher caught him: "You were the one who posted on the school forum, right? The police have already arrived." Hearing the words police, Ly Huyen's face turned pale, her legs softened, she almost collapsed. "Teacher... I... I didn't mean to..." A stern look from the teacher made her immediately shut up. I was taken to the medical room to have my wound treated, and Ly Huyen was escorted to the academic department for investigation. Before being taken away, she still boldly begged me: "Gia Di, sorry... please help me say something, don't let the teacher punish you too harshly, I know I was wrong!" "If I'm disciplined, my mother will beat me to death! I beg you!" I coldly glanced at her and didn't answer. She doesn't know it's wrong, she's just scared. Whatever the outcome, that's the price she brought upon herself. Returning to the dormitory, I sat quietly, my heart filled with worries. I'm afraid my mother will actually go to the school and use this as an excuse to force me to drop out of school. But surprisingly, for the next month, my life was unusually peaceful. Mom didn't call and scold me, nor did she remove me from the block list. On the contrary, Aunt Lam often came to school to visit me, bringing many snacks. "I still say the same old saying, if you want to change your mind, just say so, I absolutely don't blame you." "I don't change my mind. I want to save Tieu Loi." During these two months, I soon considered them as close relatives. The amount of care they gave me, combined, was more than that of my biological parents for eighteen years. Tieu Loi is also like my younger brother, I have to save him. As for the money of ten thousand, I really need it, but if they are in trouble, I can accept less, and even don't need it. "Good child, I will thank you first for Tieu Loi!" Aunt Lam also shared food with my roommates, asking them to take care of me. You all thought Aunt Lam was my mother, I kept it a secret and didn't bother to deny it. Ly Huyen's story also quickly had results. In front of all the teachers and students, she seriously apologized to me. Because of her future, the police did not detain her, only symbolically criticized her. But for violating the rules, she was still given a disciplinary violation. From then on, Ly Huyen avoided meeting me and was no longer as stubborn as before. It was just that one day Aunt Lam brought chicken soup to school, I suddenly saw her shadow secretly hiding behind the gate, peeping. I turned around and saw nothing. There was no time to pay attention, because the bone marrow donation appointment had arrived. Tieu Loi hugged her mother, Aunt Lam couldn't go, so she had to let Uncle Tan drive to pick me up. From afar, I happily waved my hand and sat in familiarly

rear seats. Just as I was about to close the door, a figure suddenly rushed forward and aggressively pulled me down. "Duong Gia Di! As expected, you are doing this despicable thing at school!" "I let you go to school, not to be an old man's lover! Get the hell back home with me right now!"
