Chapter 7 — Son gives father 10,000 yuan, biological mother 500 yuan

“Diep Nhiem!”

“Today I asked my mother for the last time.”

“The money for relief… will mom give it to me or not?”

I stopped walking and leisurely replied with two words:

“Don't give it.”

"Okay! Very good!"

Lam Hien gritted his teeth until his whole body trembled.

“Mom, don't regret it!”

“I told my mother, that house was also left by my grandparents!”

“I also have a part!”

I laughed coldly.

“The red book is in my name.”

“I signed the release contract.”

“The compensation money was transferred to my account.”

"What's more, my son's family name is Lam, not Diep."

“What right do you have to claim a share?”

“But I'm the one you gave birth to!”

Lam Hien screamed until his voice was hoarse, the blue veins on his neck appeared as if they were about to explode.

“I am also their grandson!”

“But now…”

I looked straight into its eyes.

“…I don't accept this child anymore.”

“You and the Diep family no longer have any relationship.”

He clenched his fist until it turned white, gritting his teeth:

“I don't care!”

“You are my mother!”

“Mom's money is my money!”

“If mom doesn't give it…”

“I will come here to cause trouble every day!”

“I will make it impossible for mother to live in this area!”

“Make everyone look down on you!”

“Can't live in this area?”

I repeat that sentence. Then suddenly burst into laughter. I looked around at the crowd of neighbors and deliberately raised my voice:

“Everyone heard it clearly.”

“My son just said he wants to make it impossible for me to live in this area.”

"I worked hard to raise it, but in the end I got nothing in return and was threatened by it."

“Everyone help me decide!”

Someone in the crowd immediately spoke up:

“Don't worry, auntie!”

“He dares to cause trouble again, we'll report it to the police for you!”

“I have never seen such a shameless child!”

Lam Hien's face immediately turned pale. He didn't expect that his threat would turn into an opportunity for me to win people's hearts. I looked at that greedy face. A feeling of fatigue suddenly arose in my heart that could not be put into words. I remember many things from many years ago. At that time, Lam Hien was only three years old. He had a high fever in the middle of the night and cried until he was hoarse. I hugged him and jogged more than three kilometers to the hospital. To the point of losing a shoe without realizing it, the soles of my feet were rubbed to the point of bleeding. The doctor said that if he was late for another half hour... The child could suffer brain damage. At that time, I knelt in the hospital hallway, crying until my whole body was shaking. At that time I thought... As long as my son is healthy again, even if I exchange my life, I am willing. Later it got better. I held it in my arms, feeling like the whole world was no longer important. Then when he was six years old. My grandparents passed away one after another. Lam Kien Quoc avoided gambling debts outside, not even daring to answer the phone. I took care of the entire funeral alone. Kneeling in front of the sacred hall, he kowtowed until his knees were purple. Crying to the point of not being able to speak. Everyone in the neighborhood said... This daughter-in-law is more filial than her biological son. I used to think that... As long as you treat someone sincerely, sooner or later you will be treated with sincerity. Now I understand. There are hearts... that can never be warmed. The better you treat them… The more they think you owe them. The more you feel like all your sacrifices are natural. I slowly opened my mouth. The voice is not loud. But enough for everyone to hear.

“You want to know…”

“In the end, how much relief money will I receive?”

Lam Hien's eyes immediately lit up. Breathing is also rapid rushed up.

"How much?"

“Is it really a lot of money?”

Lam Kien Quoc and Vuong Phuong also immediately raised their ears to listen, their whole bodies unconsciously leaning forward like hungry wolves waiting to share their meat. Looking at the changing expressions of the three of them, I suddenly felt ridiculous to the extreme. I faintly uttered one word: Then looked straight into their greedy faces, slowly pressing each word:

“8,000,000 yuan.”

The words just ended. The surrounding air seemed to freeze. Lam Hien, Lam Kien Quoc and Vuong Phuong simultaneously took a deep breath of cold air. Crazy joy immediately filled their faces. Eyes widened. His mouth opened so wide that he could fit an entire egg. I saw it very clearly... Lam Hien's eyes turned red.

“8… 8,000,000 yuan?!”

His voice trembled until he was lost. My legs felt weak, my whole body seemed to have been drained of strength, I could barely stand.
