Chapter 7 — Return to Save Yourself

The daughter found an iron box in the house and asked in a baby voice: "Mom, what is this?" I opened the box. Inside is the admission notice. The red color is a bit old. But my name is still clear. Hua Thanh Hoa. I caressed those three words and suddenly remembered the day I was reborn. I stood in front of the yard door and received it from the postal worker. It was like taking a life. The daughter tilted her head and asked: "Mom, is this a treasure?" I smiled and nodded. "Yes." "Is it very expensive?" "Not expensive." I held her in my arms. "But she told me, people living in this world cannot leave their path in the hands of others." Co Lam Chu stood by the door, smiling at us. Grandma squinted her eyes and sat in the sun. The wind blew through the yard, shaking the leaves on the old tree. Makes a rustling sound. I can finally calmly look back at the past. The admission notice was not canceled. My grandmother and I don't miss each other. I no longer kneel under anyone's alms to continue living. Since that day, my life has once again returned to my own hands.
