Chapter 16 — Mother's Boundaries

Luc Minh Vien closed his eyes. "It's because you're my dad that I don't want to do anything too unsightly." "But today you're really too much." Outside the door came the sound of paper being slapped on the door. Luc Kien Quoc said: "Look what this is." "I've already asked people, the father also has the right to guardianship." "You're not convenient to take care of, we adults help take care of you for a few days, what's the problem?" Luc Minh Vien's voice trembled. "Who said you're not convenient to take care of?" Luc Giai Giai laughed coldly. "Brother, stop pretending." "You go to work during the day, and at night you're forced by her to take care of the child." "She's using the child to torture you." I almost laughed. speak out. It turns out that fathers take care of their own children, but in their mouths it turns into abuse. Luc Minh Vien's face was extremely unsightly. "Giai Giai, shut up." Luc Giai Giai was stunned. "You yelled at me?" Luc Minh Vien took a deep breath. "I take care of my daughter, not being forced by anyone." "This is what you should do." Outside the door it was quiet for a few seconds. Ma Phuong Lan cried even louder. "It's great." "Now because of him, I scold my sister." "This family seems to be destroyed." I heard these words, my heart became even more alert. They are not afraid of the house breaking up. They are afraid that Luc Minh Vien will no longer let them arrange things. A few minutes later, the police arrived. I opened the door. As soon as the door opened, Ma Phuong Lan wanted to rush in. The police immediately stopped her. "First, don't come in." "There's something said at the door." Ma Phuong Lan hugged her chest and pointed at me. "Comrade, I want to see my niece." "She won't let me see her, and even called the police to threaten us." The police looked at me. I showed them camera videos, chat records, and doorbell recordings. Talk about copies of documents being taken away. Luc Giai Giai's face was clearly panicked. "I didn't steal." "I just took a few copies." I asked: "Who gave you permission to take it?" She stiffened her neck. "My brother is the baby's father." Luc Minh Vien immediately said: "I don't allow it." Luc Giai Giai looked at him incredulously. "You!" Luc Minh Vien didn't look at her. "I took a copy of Thanh Hoa's ID, but you didn't agree." After listening, the police voice became more serious. "A family dispute is a family dispute." "But without consent, you took someone else's documents, this is not appropriate." "Where are the copies now?" Luc Giai Giai did not say anything. Luc Kien Quoc's face darkened. "In my place." He took out some papers from his pocket. I looked at those copies, feeling cold in my heart. If it wasn't for Luc Giai Giai sending provocative photos, I wouldn't even know they had these things. The police asked them to return the copy. Luc Kien Quoc was not too willing. The police said again: "The baby is still so young, we don't want to leave the mother." "If you want to visit, you can negotiate." "You can't come to the door and force him to take him away." Ma Phuong Lan immediately cried: "I don't force him." The police took a look at her. "Just now you said you were coming to your old house, the doorbell was in the recording." Ma Phuong Lan immediately choked up. Luc Kien Quoc's face was also not good. He looked at Luc Minh Vien. "Today, do you really want to let outsiders take care of our family matters?" Luc Minh Vien said in a low voice: "Dad, it was you and your parents who got to this point first." Luc Kien Quoc stared at him for a long time. Finally, he laughed coldly. "Okay." "You're fully grown." "If we can't see this baby from the Luc family, then there's no need for this marriage to continue." My heart calmed down. He finally revealed his true purpose. Luc Kien Quoc turned his head to look at me. "Tham Thanh Hoa, if you really have the ability, try taking the baby to see." "Our Luc family will not let you have your way easily." 18 After the door closed, the living room was so quiet that only the sound of An An's soft hum remained. My mother came out of the bedroom, her face very gloomy. "What did they say?" I put the copy in my file bag,

Tell me briefly what just happened. After listening, my mother was silent for a long time. "Thanh Hoa, you have to prepare for the worst situation." I nodded. "I know." Luc Minh Vien stood at the door, as if his whole body had been drained of strength. He said in a low voice: "I didn't expect them to do that." I looked at him. "It's not that I didn't expect it." "I just didn't want to believe it." He raised his head to look at me, his eyes filled with red blood. "Thanh Hoa, sorry." I didn't accept this sentence. Sorry too light. It's so light that it can't be pressed every night during the month of quarantine. I couldn't suppress the cold in my heart when they just stood outside the door saying they wanted to pick An An up. I took my file bag into the master bedroom and locked it in my suitcase. Text your classmate again, asking what to do if the other person continues to cause trouble. She quickly answered. "Arrange the chain of evidence." "Including postpartum care, expenses, harassment by the other person, theft of documents, tendency to forcefully pick up the child." "If the marriage continues, please sign a family boundary agreement." "If considering divorce, do not impulsively leave the shared residence first, the truth of who is the main caregiver for the child is very important." I looked at these words, my heart sank. The last two words divorce are no longer words spoken in anger.
