Chapter 10 — Ten Pounds of Shrimp, Breaking a Marriage Life

Previously, I paid her salary, bought gold, silver, clothes... her life was better than that of many other elderly people. Besides looking after her grandchildren, she can also go dancing in the square and show off to her friends. But now... Having to serve a bedridden person every day, with no money left in my pocket, even a weekly meat meal has become a luxury. The grandchild she once cherished... now she has no chance to see him again. I can only remember the days when Da Da was a child, lying in her grandmother's arms, sweetly calling "grandma". Tears fell... all bitter. Half a year later, my father-in-law finally died. Before he died, he still called Da Da. But at the last minute... there was not a single sign of my grandchild next to the bed. Her father-in-law had just died, and her mother-in-law thought she was freed. But before he could breathe... Vuong Quyen returned again. This time, she came... demanding money. The man she ran away with... was addicted to gambling, lost all his money, and secretly took out high-interest loans in her name. The mother's interest in the child's interest is up to several hundred thousand. Unable to pay, she knelt down in front of her mother-in-law.

“Mom… I have never called you mom in all these years.”

"Let's make it up to you, sell the house... pay off your debt."

Mother-in-law wants to help... but also understands. If you sell this house... Tong Anh Due will beat her to death.

“Son… it's not that I don't want to help… but there's really no other way.”

Vuong Quyen was now cornered and almost lost his mind. She screamed, pushing hard.

“If you can't help, then die!”

Mother-in-law rolled down the stairs. The impact damaged her spine... and she... was also paralyzed. Vuong Quyen and her father both went to prison. Chim Tinh had no one to raise her and was taken to an orphanage. I don't know if there... it can monopolize the entire shrimp pot and then curse others as starving people. Mother-in-law is bedridden. Tong Anh Due seems to have aged twenty years. During the day, drive from morning to night. Coming home at night... facing a person lying paralyzed, screaming non-stop, eating, sleeping, and toileting on the same spot. No one knows… how many times he wanted to die. But his survival instinct… still holds him back. Late at night it was quiet, hearing the endless moaning, he covered his ears tightly... and remembered the past. At that time, he had a beautiful and talented wife. A lovely, lively boy. Never had to worry about food, clothing, or money. Life inherently... can pass peacefully. It was him... swayed by a few instigations, abandoned his wife and children, and walked down the path to hell. It's all retribution. When my son entered elementary school, I received an invitation from headquarters to go abroad to develop my career. Taking that opportunity, I took Da Da and my parents and left together. Career is just one part. More importantly... if one day Tong Anh Due goes crazy and comes to us... it will be very troublesome. So, just leave first. Wait until everything is truly over... everything will be considered complete. The day the plane took off, I looked at my son and my parents next to me. There was only one thought in my heart— A new journey... has begun.
