Chapter 6 — Proud Mother-in-law Loves Me Like An Ancestor

His loving eyes pierced the crowd and fell on me.

“I want to say a few words to the wife I love the most, Lam Niem.”

The eyes of the entire school immediately focused on me. I'm a bit shy, but I'm still sweet inside. Looks like he still has some conscience.

“Nien Niem, I know that during this time I made you feel uncomfortable.”

His voice was low, full of magnetism.

"I am not a qualified husband, I have underestimated your feelings. But please believe that my heart for loving you will never change."

He said, then hugged the flowers and walked towards me step by step. The background music also becomes romantic. I stood up, preparing to receive this belated apology. Right when he was only three steps away from me. Incidents happen. Four boys wearing matching small suits rushed out from nowhere, like four small firecrackers, crashing into Co Canh Tham together.

“Dad!”

“Dad carry!”

“Dad, raise it high!”

Co Canh Tham didn't have time to take precautions and was stabbed by them until he staggered. The eldest child hugged his left leg, the second child hugged his right leg. The third one was even more ferocious, directly using both its arms and legs, treating him like a tree, climbing up quickly. The fourth child ran slower, could not gain a position, cried impatiently, hugged his father's vest and refused to let go. Co Canh Tham's whole body stiffened. He wanted to maintain an elegant appearance, but his body swayed uncontrollably.

“Thua Dong, Thua Nam, come down quickly!”

He lowered his voice, trying to maintain the last bit of dignity. But children don't understand these things. The third one climbed too enthusiastically, directly riding on his neck, using his meticulously groomed hair as a steering wheel, turning left and right. The fourth child cried even harder, grabbed his pants and pulled them down hard... Only a "swoosh" sound was heard. That expensive custom-made suit pants tore on the spot. The whole school fell into dead silence. Everyone stared at the stage with their eyes wide open. Our late noble general, wearing a pair of underwear… SpongeBob, stood awkwardly under the spotlight. One second, two seconds…

“Phew—”

I don't know who laughed first. Immediately afterwards, the whole school erupted into earth-shattering laughter. The mother-in-law laughed the most exaggeratedly, patting her thighs while unable to breathe.

“Oh my god… I can't stand it anymore… these pants… ha ha ha… SpongeBob…”

My father-in-law also turned red. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare laugh. He couldn't help but tremble. As for me, I laughed so much that I squatted on the ground, tears welling up in my eyes. Co Canh Tham's handsome face turned from white to red, from red to blue, from blue to black, and finally to pale white. He held his head and let out the most desperate scream of his life.

“Ah—!”

At that moment, I deeply understood what is called a "dead society". It's also a full-network live broadcast, three hundred and sixty degrees with no dead ends. From that day on, Co Canh Tham completely gave up. He no longer wears high-end suits, wears sports clothes and slippers around the house every day. He even started to compete with the family dog for food. One time I saw with my own eyes, he took advantage of Vuong Tai's lack of attention, stole a large bone from his dog's rice bowl, hid in the corner and chewed it deliciously. Vuong Tai felt sorry for himself and ran to my feet, whining, as if he was accusing the male boss of not being a good person. Looking at Co Canh Tham's life without any regrets, I sighed. That's it. Destroy it, quickly. When I was more than eight months pregnant, the taste in my stomach finally couldn't hold it anymore. That night, my stomach hurt so much, my water broke. The whole Co family immediately turned into a pot of porridge.

"Quick! Call an ambulance!"

“Bring your prepared birth bag!”

“Nim Niem, don't be afraid, take a deep breath!”

My mother-in-law commanded the servant while holding my hand tightly, even more nervous than me. Co Canh Tham heard the commotion and rushed over from the guest house, his hair tangled like a bird's nest.

"Wife! How are you? Are you about to give birth?"

He wanted to rush to my side, but his mother-in-law blocked him with her elbow.

“Don't come here! Your arms and legs are entangled!”

The ambulance arrived quickly. I was put on a stretcher. Co Canh Tham wanted to get in the car with me, but my mother-in-law grabbed me by the collar and pulled me back.

"You sit in the back car for me! The space in the ambulance is small, don't squeeze into my daughter-in-law!"

Co Canh Tham: “…” Arriving at the hospital, I was immediately pushed into the delivery room. Co Canh Tham was outside impatiently like an ant crawling on a hot pan, walking back and forth.

"Why haven't you come out yet? Is there something wrong?"

“Is your wife and children in a lot of pain?”

“Doctor, how is my wife?”

He caught a nurse passing by and kept asking. The mother-in-law sat on the bench, looking at his useless appearance, pouting in disgust.

"Sit down for me! Walking back and forth makes me dizzy! Why did I give birth so quickly? That year when I gave birth, I was in pain for two days and two nights!"

Co Canh Tham only now calmed down, but still couldn't sit still, constantly rubbing his hands. Time passes minute by minute. In the delivery room, my screams became higher and higher each time. Outside the delivery room, Co Canh Tham's heart also tightened into a knot. He pressed his ear to the door, wanting to hear the movement inside clearly. As a result, a nurse came out and immediately bumped into her.

"Family people keep quiet! Don't affect our work!"

The nurse glared at him impatiently. Co Canh Tham could only step aside in self-pity. I don't know how much time passed when the door to the delivery room finally opened. A nurse walked out holding a diaper, her face happy.

"Congratulations! Congratulations! Your mother is safe! She's a baby!"

“You… a daughter?”

Everyone in the hallway was stunned. Co Canh Tham was the first to react. He quickly stepped forward, looking at the tiny red baby in the diaper, so excited that he was talking incoherently.

“Daughter… I… I have a daughter?”
