Chapter 1 — My Sister

Her younger sister was lost by her youngest aunt. Lam Nhu smiled and said: "Our Duong Duong family is so beautiful, it would be a shame if we didn't go shoot commercials for children's clothes." Then she took three-year-old Duong Duong away. She said there were too many people at the photo shoot, so Duong Duong ran away and got lost. My parents searched for ten years. When finally found, Duong Duong was in a household deep in the mountains, chained with iron chains, had given birth to seven children, and his spirit had long been no longer normal. She died on the way home. Because of that, my parents also became mentally unstable and were hit by a car and died. The youngest aunt robbed my parents' inheritance and said proudly: "Who said your mother didn't lend me money that year? After selling the child, wouldn't I still get that money?" She stepped on my sister's life to get married and live a happy life. In a panic, I was also caught up in the traffic. Opening my eyes again, I returned to when I was four years old. The day my youngest aunt entered the house, my father and mother said seriously: "The eighteen thousand in the savings book cannot be touched, no one can borrow it, it must be left to the two children." When they say this, they won't expect it. Youngest aunt Lam Nhu has been listening outside the door for a long time. In my previous life, I found out later. Her boyfriend, Tran Buu, is urging her to get eighteen thousand dowry money. She has no money, and I can't borrow it from my parents. But when he saw Duong Duong sitting on the table, smiling softly and lovingly. Her eyes lit up. "Sister, I'm really not lying to you. The children's clothing brand is looking for a child model, and it's worth 20,000 to take a photo a day." The vegetable basket in my mother's hand stopped. “Twenty thousand?” "That's right." Lam Nhu held Duong Duong on her lap, "How much do you and your brother-in-law earn each month? Twenty thousand is enough for the two of you to spend several months." "Duong Duong is so beautiful, not taking pictures would be a waste." My head buzzed loudly. Impossible. We can't let her take Duong Duong away. I rolled down from the sofa, my knee hit the coffee table, it was so painful that tears immediately flowed out. But I can't pay attention anymore. I rushed forward and hugged Duong Duong's leg. “Don't go!” Duong Duong was scared by me. "Older sister?" I hugged him even tighter. "Duong Duong don't go! Don't go take pictures!" The smile on Lam Nhu's face stiffened a bit. Very quickly, she bent down again, her voice as soft as sugar. "What's wrong with Tue Tue? Are you unhappy seeing your sister being photographed beautifully?" I raised my head and glared at her. “Bad youngest aunt!” The living room immediately became quiet. My mother frowned: "Tue Tue, don't be so rude." My father also put down his cup. “Quickly apologize to youngest aunt.” I shook my head, crying harder. “She wants to sell Duong Duong, she can't let Duong Duong go!” Lam Nhu's eyes immediately turned red. She looked at my mother, as if she had suffered a great injustice. "Sister, listen. I have the kindness to find an opportunity for Duong Duong, but he says I want to sell children?" My mother pulled me away from Duong Duong's feet. “Tue Tue, do you not want to leave your sister?” I struggled and wanted to throw myself towards Duong Duong. "No go! Evil youngest aunt!" The adults are all looking at me. Without anyone seeing, I took off the phone watch on my wrist. That's what my dad just bought for me. Blue color, can call, can also locate. In my previous life, I had nothing. In this life, when I returned from rebirth, I insisted that my father buy me one. I took advantage of my mother hugging and comforting me, secretly stuffing my phone watch into Duong Duong's sleeve. Duong Duong lowered his head to look. "Older sister?" I grabbed her small foot and clumsily put the watch on. The buckle is a bit loose, and it fits loosely on her tiny ankle. I pulled her pants down and covered her. "Put it on, never take it off, and never let others see it." Duong Duong obediently nodded. Lam Nhu wiped her tears and looked at my mother. “Sister, do you really trust a four-year-old child, don't you trust me?” Grandma's phone call came quickly. My mother turned on the speakerphone. Grandma's voice is very loud. "Tieu Nhu is her biological aunt, can she still harm Duong Duong? Tue Tue is a child fighting for affection, she wishes she was the one taking the photo, but you still consider her words to be true." The group of relatives also continuously rang. “A n

20,000, this opportunity is not available to anyone else. It's difficult for Lam Nhu to still think about her children's family." “Is it true that Tue Tue saw that her sister had a new dress and felt uncomfortable? Children get jealous very easily.” “When children talk nonsense, do adults also become confused? Don't you need twenty thousand yuan? Lam Nhu sat on the sofa, bowing her head. She said nothing. The more she didn't say anything, the more guilty my mother became. I understand her too well. In her previous life, she was the same. First coaxing others, then pretending to feel sorry for themselves, in the end everyone felt that our family was unreasonable. I ran to snatch my mother's phone. “No go! Don't go!” My mother raised the phone high. “Tu Tue, don't make trouble.” I stomped my feet impatiently. “She wants to sell Tang Tang! Got a car! There is a bad uncle!” My father frowned. “What car?” Lam Nhu immediately interrupted. “Did he just watch a cartoon with a car? After watching, children learn haphazardly." I shouted loudly: "No!" Lam Nhu's eyes became even redder. “Sister, you better stop it. I just think Duong Duong is pretty and want to help you two make some money. If Tu Tue doesn't agree then that's fine, twenty thousand yuan doesn't mean you have to earn it." After she finished speaking, she sighed softly. “Let Tue Tue blame you later.” My mother certainly panicked. "No, no, Tue Tue doesn't understand, don't be so picky with children." But my father asked: “What is the brand name? Where to shoot? Is there a contract?” The smile on Lam Nhu's face faded a bit. “Brother-in-law, don't you believe me?” My father said: "She is only three years old, it is normal to ask clearly." “She is my biological niece, can I still sell her?” Lam Nhu's voice carried tears, "You two are like that, I'm really heartbroken." I heard the word "sell", my whole body trembled. I pointed at her. “You said it! She said sell!” Lam Nhu was stunned, then quickly laughed helplessly. “Tu Tue, aunt said she won't sell.” She squatted in front of me, reaching out to pat my head. I opened my mouth and bit. She pulled back quickly, but I still bit her finger a little. “Ah!” My mother picked me up. “Khuong Tue Tue!” I cried until I hiccuped. “Don't touch me! Don't touch Tang Tang!” Duong Duong saw me crying and cried too. “Don't cry.” Lam Nhu looked at Duong Duong, her eyes quickly flashed. She took out a small dress. White, sparkling pink. “Duong Duong look, my youngest aunt prepared it for you. When I took the photo, I wore it and it was very beautiful." Duong Duong's tears were still hanging on her face, but her eyes were absorbed by the dress. “Little dress…” I waved my hand and dropped the dress to the ground. “Don't wear it!” Finally, Lam Nhu's face turned cold. “Tue Tue, you still don't understand such things, the youngest aunt is really sad.” My father stood up. “Don't go today for now.” I suddenly looked towards my father. He continued: "Wait until the other party sends the contract, address, and brand information, then Lam Uyen and I will go along." I breathed a sigh of relief. But Lam Nhu only smiled. “Okay, brother-in-law, it's good to be a little careful.” I thought I could stop it for now. But I forgot. In her previous life, Lam Nhu was able to take Duong Duong away, not because she could convince everyone. It's because she knows how to find loopholes. My mother went into the kitchen and turned off the stove. My father's phone rang, it was the company phone. He went to the balcony to answer the phone. My mother put me on the sofa, she said: "Good Tue Tue, I will talk to you later." Lam Nhu picked up Duong Duong. "Come on, my youngest aunt will take you to the door to see the dress." I immediately jumped down from the sofa. “Don't go!” Lam Nhu laughed. “Just at the door, Tue Tue will also come along.” Duong Duong was carried by her, holding the stuffed rabbit in her hand. She looked at me. “Are you going too?” I was about to follow, when Lam Nhu suddenly gently blocked me behind. "Tue Tue's shoes are on backwards, go change your shoes." I bowed my head and looked. My shoes are never worn backwards. By the time I raised my head again, the door had opened. Lam Nhu carried Duong Duong out. I let out a loud scream. “Dad!” I rushed to the door, the elevator door had just closed. I used force to knock on the door. “Duong Duong! Tang Tang!” My father came out from the balcony. “What's wrong?” “Youngest aunt took Duong Duong away!” My mother also ran from

kitchen out. "What?" She took out the phone to call Lam Nhu. Don't answer the phone. Call back. Still no answer. In the group of relatives, Lam Nhu sent a voice message. "Sister, the photographer is so urgent, I'll take Duong Duong over first. Don't worry, after taking the photo I'll take her home. At that time, the twenty thousand yuan will be transferred to you." My mother's face immediately turned white. My father picked up the car keys. “Which direction is she going?” I rushed over and tapped his phone. "Look at the clock! Dad, look at my watch!" He doesn't understand. “What watch?” I held up my wrist for him to see. Empty. “I gave it to Duong Duong!” My father froze for a second. The next second, he immediately turned on his phone's locator watch. A small red dot appears. Not downstairs. Not in the city center studio like Lam Nhu said. Which is at the back door of the old shopping center opposite the apartment complex. My mother saw the positioning and her voice also changed. “What did she do there?” The old shopping center has been closed for several years. The main door has a rental advertisement posted on it, and the glass is covered with dust. There are basically no children's clothing studios at all. I cried and grabbed my father's shirt. “Duong Duong is there!” My father's face darkened terribly. “Lin Uyen, call the police.” My mother's hands trembled as she pressed the phone. At this moment, my grandmother called again. My mother didn't listen. The group of relatives is still texting continuously. "Why are you guys making a fuss? Tieu Nhu said she would take pictures. You still don't believe her?" "Brother-in-law, Tieu Nhu has a thin face, but she thinks with all her heart that this is not right for you." "This Tue Tue child has a big temper, you have to take good care of him in the future." My father did not look at the group. He picked me up, took my phone and car keys and rushed out. My mother followed behind, tears on her face. Downstairs the wind is very strong. My father hugged me and ran very fast. I lay on his shoulder, always staring at the small red dot on the phone. That dot doesn't move. Always stop at the back door of the old shopping mall. I know that place. In my previous life, after growing up, I came many times. Later the police investigated, it was there that Lam Nhu handed over Duong Duong to a man named Tran Biao. After that, Duong Duong was put in a car and taken to another province. But by that time, when we found the clue, it was too late. I grabbed my dad's shirt. “Hurry, dad, hurry!” We must be a little faster, in this life, we must be on time! My father gasped. “Don't be afraid, dad is here.” I want to say, I'm scared. I'm scared to death. I'm afraid I'll be one step slower. I'm afraid Duong Duong will disappear again. My mother ran and called Lam Nhu. This time, the phone cleared. She turned on the speakerphone, her voice trembling. “Lam Nhu, where are you?” There was wind noise on the other side of the phone, and there was also a car horn. Lam Nhu smiled. "Sister, I'm on my way to the studio. Teacher is so urgent." My mother stopped crying. “Open the video, I want to see Duong Duong.” Lam Nhu paused for a moment.
