Chapter 3 — Proud Mother-in-law Loves Me Like An Ancestor

Every day when I don't have to go for a walk with my sisters, I go to the beauty salon, or stay in my luxurious movie theater watching movies. Co Canh Tham looked at me, his eyes becoming more and more resentful.

“Wife, don't you take care of the children at all?”

I put on a mask and lazily turned over:

“Mom is already there, is it your turn to take care of it?”

He sighed and leaned over to kiss me. As a result, as soon as it touched my face, my mother-in-law rushed in and slapped me on the back.

"Co Canh Tham! What are you doing! Can't you see Niem Niem is wearing a mask? The mask is 10,000 yuan a piece, if you kiss it, can you make up for it?"

Co Canh Tham: “…” He looked at me sadly. I made a devil face at him, showing that I was helpless. No way, who said my mother is now my number one fan? Under the protection of my mother-in-law, Co Canh Tham and I slept in separate rooms for nearly a year. He protested countless times, but was unintentionally rejected by his mother-in-law using the excuse that "Nim Niem's health is important". Looking at his lonely back, alone in the air defense every day, sometimes I feel a little sympathy in my heart. But I agree, the taste of freedom is truly so fragrant. That day, I felt a bit uncomfortable, always sleepy, and especially craved sour foods. A bad premonition arose in my heart. I sneaked to the pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test. When I saw those two bright red lines, my hand shook so much that I almost threw the test strip away. Isn't that right... Win again? Is this constitution of mine a reincarnation of a carp? I held the pregnancy test, calculating in my heart what reward I should ask my mother-in-law for this time. Private island or yacht? I happily went to the living room, preparing to announce this good news. In the living room, there was chaos. The eldest child, Co Thua Dong, is holding an oil brush, writing passionately on a genuine leather sofa worth millions. The second child, Co Thua Nam, tied her mother-in-law's limited edition silk scarf on her head, dressed as a pirate, and swung a feather broom to chase cats around the house. The third child, Co Thua Tay, pulled out a bag of flour from somewhere, making both his body and the floor turn white, like a snowman just taken out of a flour barrel. The fourth child, Co Thua Bac, was hugging her mother-in-law's leg, tears streaming from her eyes and nose, insisting on riding a horse. As for my noble mother-in-law, she was lying on the sofa, her eyes staring blankly at the ceiling, muttering:

“Who am I… where am I… why did I give birth to a son…”

Looking at this tragic scene, I suddenly felt a slight burn on the pregnancy test in my hand.

“Mom…”

I cautiously opened my mouth. Mother-in-law slowly turned her head and saw me, her eyes regained some of their spirit.

"Nien Niem, have you come back from walking around the city? Quick, sit down and rest."

I hesitated a bit, but in the end I still took the pregnancy test.

“Mom, look…”

The mother-in-law received the test strip and glanced at it, but at first she didn't have time to react.

“What is this? A thermometer?”

“Mom, it's a pregnancy test.”

I reminded in a low voice. Mother-in-law was stunned. She looked back down, then suddenly raised her head, her eyes scanning back and forth between my still flat belly and the four little devil kings in the living room. Her face changed at a speed visible to the naked eye. From confusion, to fear, then to horror. My pupils felt like they had experienced a level eight earthquake.

“Are you… pregnant again?”

Her voice trembled. I nodded, just about to force a smile compete for merit. At this moment, Co Canh Tham had just returned from work and walked in with a cheerful face.

"Wife, I'm home! What do you want to eat today?"

The mother-in-law's eyes were like two swords, immediately locked on Co Canh Tham. Her body, tired from looking after her grandchildren, seemed to be instantly injected with endless strength. She jumped up from the sofa, walked quickly in front of Co Canh Tham, raised her hand to slap his handsome face. But just halfway with her hand, she stiffly stopped. She was afraid that she would ruin her face and still be able to go out and make money. So she changed her strategy, grabbed Co Canh Tham's collar, and screamed earth-shatteringly:

"Co Canh Tham! You bastard!"

"Get out, mom! Get out as far away as you can!"

"From today onwards, you are not allowed to come even half a step closer to my daughter-in-law! Do you hear me clearly?"

“Stop harming your wife and children!”

Co Canh Tham was bewildered by scolding, completely unaware of what had happened. I stood next to him, stunned. This scenario... isn't quite right! Where is the promised sky-high wealth? How come my husband is about to be swept out of the house? In the end, Co Canh Tham was not kicked out of the house, but he was kicked out of the master bedroom. No, being kicked out of the main building. The mother-in-law gave an order, and the housekeeper immediately led two bodyguards and "invited" Co Canh Tham's body and luggage to the independent guest house in the backyard. The beautiful name is:

"In order for the young lady to rest assured that she can take care of her pregnancy, the young master needs to temporarily avoid her presence."

Co Canh Tham stood on the balcony of the guest house, away from a flower garden, looking from afar at the window of my room in the main building, his sad eyes were like a tragic love poem. I crawled next to the window, gnawing on an apple and waving to him, expressing my agreement. But obviously he didn't receive my signal, on the contrary, he thought I was provoking him. So the fierce battle of "returning to the room" officially ended. On the first day, Co Canh Tham tried playing love cards. He held a large bouquet of roses and stood under the main building, preparing to confess his deep love to me. As a result, before he could stand firmly, there was a "whoosh" sound upstairs and a basin of water fell down. Watering him cold and wet from head to toe. The mother-in-law held an empty pot and shouted from upstairs with a strong voice:

"Watering the flowers! I'm old, my eyesight is poor, I can't see there's anyone below!"

Co Canh Tham wiped the water from his face with great difficulty. The gardener was trimming the flowers and grass in the garden so he couldn't help but laugh until his whole body trembled.
