Chapter 13 — Mother's Boundaries

Ma Phuong Lan's crying stopped, and she said again: "Why are you so fragile?" "In the past, children were raised like that." I said: "In the past, when there were no safety seats, children also rode in cars." "Now that there are rules, follow the rules." "I want to bet with my body, you can't control it." "Don't bet on your daughter." Luc Giai Giai was also next to her. She coldly said: "Sister-in-law, you really don't accept me now." I replied: "I accept." "Whoever is truly kind to me and my child, I accept that person." "Whoever uses my child as a pawn, I do not accept." Luc Giai Giai was so angry that his voice trembled. "Don't forget, her last name is Luc." I smiled. "The Luc family name does not mean that she belongs to the Luc family." "She is a person, not your family's property." As soon as this sentence was finished, the phone was completely silent. A long time later, Luc Kien Quoc said: "Minh Vien, listen." "This is what my wife said." Luc Minh Vien did not immediately respond. I heard his breathing, very heavy. I thought you were going to say my feelings weren't good. But this time, he said: "Dad, An An didn't come to the hospital." "She's too small, it's not suitable." I was stunned for a moment. The people on the other side also froze. Immediately after that, Ma Phuong Lan cried even harder. "Now you also help him bully me?" Luc Minh Vien's voice was very low, but did not back down anymore. "Mom, you should rest first." "When your health is stable, I will arrange for you to meet me." "But not now, not at the hospital." I picked up the phone and didn't say anything for a long time. This is not a victory. But at least, for once, he didn't push me out. After the phone hung up, I sat on the sofa for a long time. My mother came over and asked: "What did it say?" Let me briefly tell you what happened just now. My mother nodded slightly. "It seems like I'm not confused to the end." I looked at An An in the crib. The baby slept very peacefully. As if all outside arguments are unrelated to you. But I know, these arguments are not about winning or losing. It's so that in the future, she won't have to grow up with a preference for men and women, calculating her virginity, and kidnapping her morals. At nine o'clock in the evening, Luc Minh Vien returned. When he entered the door, his face was very poor. In her hand she was also carrying a shopping bag, inside were wet wipes and soft cloth towels for newborns. I took a look and said nothing. He changed his shoes, washed his hands, then went to the crib. An An just woke up, her mouth pursed, her eyes felt like she was about to cry. Luc Minh Vien stiffened a bit. I don't move. My mother also did not move. He stood for a few seconds, then finally bent down and carefully picked An An up. The posture is not yet mastered. But this time, he remembered to support his neck. An An hummed twice in his heart, but did not cry. Luc Minh Vien lowered his head to look at her, his eyes suddenly turned red. "An An." "I will learn later." When I heard this sentence, my heart did not soften. I just feel like the road is still very long. But at this moment, his phone lit up. On the screen appeared a message sent by Luc Giai Giai. "Brother, just now my mother said, she wanted to come find the leader of her sister-in-law's unit."13 Luc Minh Vien stared at that message, his face immediately sank to the bottom. I also saw it. Luc Giai Giai said, Ma Phuong Lan wanted to come find the leader of my unit. The reason is very simple. She said I was unfilial, bullied the elderly, and didn't even let the elderly meet their granddaughter. She wanted my leader to arbitrate. I looked at those words and suddenly laughed. Luc Minh Vien raised his head and looked at me. "Thanh Hoa, don't laugh." "I'll go advise her." I asked him: "Can I advise you?" His throat tightened. I continued: "From the hospital to the family group, then to the circle of friends, when did she listen to you?" "She didn't want to solve the problem." "She wanted to scare me." Luc Minh Vien held the phone, his knuckles turned white. "I won't let her go." I looked at him, my voice very calm. "This sentence,

It's best if you say you can do it." "Because if she really comes to my unit to cause trouble, this will no longer be a conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law." "That will damage my honor and affect my work." "I will report to the police and also sue." Luc Minh Vien suddenly raised his eyes. "Sue?" I said: "Yes." "I have screenshots, a camera, and full conversation records." "If she dares to come to my unit." "If you make up a story, I will let her know that adults who talk are responsible." My mother next to me opened her mouth. "Thanh Hoa is right." "Minh Vien, no matter how much trouble your mother causes, she cannot cause trouble at work." "That's not a housework." Luc Minh Vien was silent for a long time. Finally, he called Luc Giai Giai. This time, he didn't turn on the speakerphone. But the living room was too quiet, I could still hear a few sounds. Luc Giai Giai cried on the phone. Ms. She told me that my mother was already in the hospital, but I still refused to bow my head. She said that I was too calculating and even prepared the camera. She said that Luc Minh Vien's family was unlucky to marry me. Until the end, he said one thing. "Giai Giai, don't start a fire." Luc Minh Vien's voice suddenly became quiet.
