Chapter 5 — Pregnant for 280 Days, I Used a Notebook to Reclaim My Whole Life

Afternoon. Ngo Phuong Cam called me. Just picked up the phone. She questioned immediately.

“What are you making a fuss about with Thua Trach?”

I sat by the bed. Just fold each small set of clothes for the baby.

“I didn't make any noise.”

"If I don't make a fuss, why would he say that my behavior has become more and more strange lately?"

I put the tiny socks in the drawer.

“Did he tell you that I'm going to the doctor next week and he doesn't want to come with me?”

Ngo Phuong Cam immediately responded:

“Men go out to make money, how can they revolve around me every day?”

"If you don't go even once, is that called being around you every day?"

She choked. Then immediately raised his voice.

“Don't argue with me.”

“Now that you are carrying the bones of the Co family, you must be more reasonable.”

I looked out the window. There is a man helping his pregnant wife walk slowly. In his hand he also carried a glass of water for his wife. I said softly:

“It's me who's pregnant.”

"It's not that the Co family is pregnant."

The other end of the line immediately exploded.

“What do you mean by that?”

“No offense.”

I calmly replied:

“Mom, if Thua Trach feels that both me and the baby are a burden.”

“Then you can arrange it yourself.”

Ngo Phuong Cam smiled coldly.

“What do you arrange yourself?”

"A pregnant woman who doesn't have the same income as you, don't open your mouth and talk nonsense."

That saying. Almost exactly like what Co Thua Trach said last night. I suddenly felt very funny. If you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door.

“Mom, don't worry.”

“I will not let your son suffer.”

Ngo Phuong Cam was about to continue scolding. I hung up the phone directly. After hanging up the phone. I don't cry. Only screenshot call history. Then save it to an album called Debt Book. Seven o'clock in the evening. Co Thua Trach returned. Today he came home earlier than usual. In his hand he also carried a paper bag. He placed it on the tea table.

“I bought bird's nest for you.”

I glanced at the packaging. It's so expensive that it's enough money for me to go to two prenatal checkups. Co Thua Trach sat down. The tone sounded like he was granting some favors.

“My mother said you talked back to her today.”

I never touched the bird's nest box.

“It was my mother who told you first.”

He rubbed his temples.

“She is an elder.”

"As an elder, do you have the right to say I'm useless?"

Co Thua Trach looked at me. There was only impatience in his eyes.

“Do you have to think everything other people say in such a negative way?”

I calmly asked:

“The 5,000 yuan in that card, when will you give it to me?”

The living room immediately fell silent. The expression on his face cooled little by little.

“I bought you something but you're still just staring at the money?”

“Bird's nest can be returned.”

“But it's impossible to pay for prenatal care.”

He stared at me.

“Giang Tri Dao, what do you want?”

I raised my eyes.

“I want you to shoulder the expenses that a husband and father should shoulder.”

Co Thua Trach looked as if he had just been insulted.

“Aren't you responsible?”

“Who pays?”

“Who bought the car?”

“Whose house are you in?”

I corrected in a low voice.

“That house I bought before I got married.”

“The car is also in my name.”

His eyes immediately changed.

“Are you starting to calculate assets with me now?”

I haven't been able to answer yet. The phone suddenly vibrated. It's a text message from an unknown number.

"Mrs. Co, he moved this afternoon Give me 20,000 yuan, do you know?"

Right after that message. The other party sent another screenshot of the transfer. Recipient name. Intentionally revealing only one word. The notes section has only two words. Don't make trouble. I stared at that photo for a long time. In the chest. There was no pain as imagined. There was only a cold stream. Little by little. Sinking to the bottom of my heart. Co Thua Trach was still sitting across from me. Wait for me to explain the last sentence about property. I turned off the phone screen. He asked:

“Who is texting?”

“Spam messages.”

He held out his hand.

“Let me see.”

I raised my head to look at him.

“Since when did you start checking my phone?”

Co Thua Trach's hand stopped in mid-air.

“I was just asking.”

I put my phone in my pajama pocket.

“I just answered.”

His expression was very unsightly.

“Now every word I say is full of thorns.”

“It's hurt a lot.”

“thorns will automatically grow on your body.”

Co Thua Trach stared at me. Suddenly burst out laughing.

“Is there someone behind instigating you?”

My heart moved slightly. But his face still showed no emotion.

“Who would teach a pregnant woman how to ask for money for prenatal care?”

He leaned back on the sofa. Deep voice.

“Giang Tri Dao, I warn you.”

“Don't let outsiders incite you.”

I looked straight at him.

“If someone from outside transfers me 20,000 yuan.”

“I'm also willing to listen to them.”

Co Thua Trach's pupils slightly shrank. Just for a moment. But I can still see clearly. He stood up.

“What do you mean?”
