Chapter 9 — Mother's Boundaries

Ma Phuong Lan's face turned pale when he was talked about. Luc Minh Vien wants to reconcile. "Mom, don't say that." I don't know who he calls this "mother". But both sides paid no attention to him. An An in the small bed hummed twice. I immediately went over. Luc Minh Vien also instinctively took a step. I looked at him. "You do it." He was stunned. "You?" I said: "Last night you promised to study." "Starting now." My mother gave him diapers and wet towels. "Wash your hands first." Luc Minh Vien stood in place, his face full of unnatural expression. Ma Phuong Lan was immediately heartbroken. "He's a man, how can he do these things?" I said: "If you don't know, then learn." "He's not born knowing how to walk, nor born knowing how to work." "Changing diapers is easier than driving." Luc Giai Giai pouted. "Sister-in-law, now you really see us as babysitters giving orders." I looked at her. "Your husband has never changed Doa Doa's diaper?" Luc Giai Giai opened his mouth, no. can answer. I said: "So you worked hard that year, you've forgotten." "You don't love yourself, don't ask me to love myself." Her face was ugly. Luc Minh Vien went to wash his hands. When he turned around, the movements were very stiff. An An kicked her leg and he immediately panicked. "The baby is moving." I said: "Children know how to move." My mother was by my side teaching each step. "First open the old one." "Don't raise it too high." "Wipe it gently." Ma Phuong Lan sat on the sofa, looking uncomfortable. She waited for half a minute, still opening her mouth. "Don't do it like that." I raised my head. "So what do you do?" She immediately shut her mouth. Luc Minh Vien frantically worked for ten minutes and finally finished changing. Even though it's a little misaligned, it's not leaking. My mother nodded. "The first time is okay." Luc Minh Vien's forehead was full of sweat. He looked at me, as if he wanted to see a compliment from my face. I don't praise. Because this is not helping me. This is what you should do. Ma Phuong Lan suddenly stood up. "Okay." "If you guys criticize me, then I'll leave." Luc Minh Vien immediately tensed up. "Mom." Ma Phuong Lan didn't look at him and directly picked up her luggage. Luc Giai Giai also stood up. I don't stop. Ma Phuong Lan walked to the door and turned around to look at me. "Tham Thanh Hoa, today you're talking completely emotionally." "Don't beg me in the future." I said: "Don't worry, Mom." "If I beg someone, I'll beg them to be willing to help me." Ma Phuong Lan angrily opened the door and walked out. Before leaving, Luc Giai Giai stared at me and smiled coldly. "Sister-in-law, don't be proud." "There are some words your mother is not comfortable saying, but that doesn't mean no one can say it for her." The door slammed shut. Luc Minh Vien stood in the middle of the living room, his face gray. I thought this commotion was temporarily over. But half an hour later, I received a strange friend request. The note had only one sentence. "I am Luc Giai Giai's mother-in-law, I want to tell you some old stories about your mother-in-law."09I stared at that friend request for a long time. Luc Giai Giai's mother-in-law. I've only met this person once at a wedding. At that time, she sat at the main table, didn't say much, and her face was always pale. During the three years that Ma Phuong Lan took care of Luc Giai Giai's child, she hardly appeared. Every time Luc Giai Giai mentioned her, she said her husband's family was not trustworthy. I didn't expect she would come to me at this time. I didn't immediately agree. I showed the phone to my mother. My mother frowned. "Why did she suddenly look for you?" I said: "I don't know." Luc Minh Vien also saw it. His expression was a bit complicated. "Don't add more." I raised my head. "Why?" He said: "Things are already chaotic enough." "Don't drag Giai Giai's husband's family into it anymore." I asked: "Are you afraid of dragging it in, or afraid of dragging out something?" Luc Minh Vien said nothing. I click agree. The other person almost immediately sent a text message. "Thanh Hoa, I know it's not appropriate to bother you today." "But

There are a few words that I've been holding back for a long time." "Your mother-in-law said that in the past she raised Doo Doa alone, this statement is not entirely true." My heart moved slightly. The other person continued to send. "Six years before the baby was born, every month I transferred living expenses to Luc Giai Giai." "I also paid for the nanny to take care of the children." "After that, your mother-in-law moved in, a lot of things were done by the nanny." "She went out and said she hadn't slept for three years." full sleep, in fact I only stayed for more than a year, returning to my hometown a few times in between." I looked at the screen and suddenly smiled. It wasn't fun. It was a myth. Ma Phuong Lan had mentioned it in front of us for so long. She said she took care of her daughter for three years, and was so tired that she got sick. She said her daughter had no one to help her, so a mother like her was forced to step up. She said it was my turn, her health was really not good. It turned out that even this story was incomplete. My mother After reading the message, he sighed. "That person is most afraid of turning feelings into debt." I didn't answer this question because the other person sent a few more transfer photos. The amount of money was not too large every month, but it was enough to prove that Luc Giai Giai was not without anyone's support.
