Chapter 4 — Ten Pounds of Shrimp, Breaking a Marriage Life

The girl was carrying a small bag, deliberately revealing that it was filled with imported snacks. Da Da was still young and was indeed attracted, standing and looking without looking away. But before he could look for long, Tinh Tinh closed his bag and loudly said:

"Do you want to eat? Tell your dad to buy it."

Oh well... your dad hates you so much, he probably can't bear to buy it, hehe." Da Da pursed her lips and crawled into my arms. I looked at Tinh Tinh, my voice was cold and gentle:

“The person who really doesn't want you… is your father.

Even when we come home, we won't let you and your mother go home." I paused for a moment and smiled softly.

“Ah that's not right… that's not necessarily your father.

Your mother has so many affairs, she doesn't even know who your father is." Tinh Tinh immediately cried and rolled on the floor. Vuong Quyen was angry and rushed forward to point at me:

“Jiang Duong, are you still human?”

I looked at her:

“You don't even do human things, so why do you ask me to say kind words?”

Vuong Quyen could not argue and threw herself into her mother-in-law's arms, crying. My mother-in-law did not dare to confront me, she just looked at Tong Anh Due and her father with tears in her eyes. Tong Anh Due said in a deep voice:

“Giang Duong, quickly apologize to Quyen, otherwise don't blame me.”

“What are you going to do?” I asked.

He choked on his words. The father-in-law stood up, hugged the mother-in-law's shoulders, pretending to be authoritative:

“Giang Duong, you're still so rude, don't blame me for telling Anh Due to divorce you!”

I burst out laughing... so much that tears welled up in my eyes.

"That sounds scary, Uncle Tong. After the divorce, no one will want me anymore, right?"

I tilted my head, my voice light:

“Or… I kill all of your family and go down there for fun?”

Maybe my smile is too scary. The whole room suddenly fell silent. I looked around once.

"It's really strange... I've never seen a family mistreating their own children, yet cherishing outsiders like treasures."

Having finished speaking, I grabbed Tinh Tinh's bag of food and stuffed it all into Da Da's hands. The girl glared at me. I bent down, my voice was low and cold:

“Look again, I'll gouge your eyes out, believe it?”

It immediately cried. Vuong Quyen trembled with anger:

“Giang Duong, you still steal food from children, it's really worthless!”

Before closing the door, I looked straight at her, each word falling like a knife:

“Every penny Tong Anh Due spends is the common property of my husband and I.

I just get my share back.”

“If you're good, tell your husband to buy it.”

I curled my lips slightly.

“Oh, I forgot… you had sex promiscuously since you were an adult, and in your marriage you were involved with a bunch of men…

Even you don't know who your child's father is, right?" At this time, Vuong Quyen's face changed three colors, some red, some white, some blue, looking at it made me feel happy. I turned back into the room and heard the group of people outside screaming like crazy, my mood lightened. But that anger... didn't last long. During the day, when I turned on the surveillance camera, I saw a scene that made my heart feel like it was broken. When I wasn't home, my father-in-law kicked Da Da several times very hard. Just because the boy wanted to pour him wine, but Tinh Tinh deliberately pushed his foot away, spilling the wine and breaking the glass. The father-in-law immediately got angry and kicked the boy straight in the head.

"You bastard, you can't get even a little work done! Just like your mother, only good at bullying family members! Why would the Song family bring in two shameless people like you!"

Having finished speaking, he still did not let go of his anger, kicked him two more times, then carried Tinh Tinh away lost. Tinh Tinh lay on his shoulder, turned around and grinned at Da Da. Da Da was so scared that she was stunned, sitting in the middle of a puddle of wine and debris, biting her hand and shaking. My heart hurts so much I can't breathe. At this point, I don't dare leave Da Da at home for another minute. Right when preschool was out for the summer, I immediately took the boy to his grandparents' house. After hearing everything, my parents were so angry that they trembled, then asked me what I was going to do. I said, worst case scenario… is divorce. The two sighed, but did not advise.

"You've had your own opinions since you were young. If you really can't continue living, then don't stubbornly endure it anymore. No matter what, your parents will always stand behind you."

Hearing that, I couldn't hold back my tears. Luckily... there are still people on my side. That afternoon, I received the assessment results. Unexpectedly, Tinh Tinh... is not Tong Anh Due's child. So why did he abandon his biological child and cherish a child with no blood relation? In fact, to be fair, Tong Anh Due used to be a very good husband and father. He used to bring me food to the company when I worked overtime, took Da Da out on weekends, and told stories before bed at night. Just recently... He started to hate me and my mother, especially Da Da. While resting, I turned on the camera in the house. At that moment, in the living room, his mother-in-law was talking to him.

"Giang Duong is really worthless. As a woman, she dares to talk to her husband like that. Now that it's like that, will she still climb on top of me in the future?"

Tong Anh Due's face was gloomy. The mother-in-law glanced at his face and continued:

"I told you, it's not good for a woman to be too strong. Look at her. For half a year she's been here in the morning and come home at night, saying she's working... who knows what she's doing out there."

Tong Anh Due was frustrated:

“Mom, stop talking.”

Mother-in-law wiped her tears, her voice filled with "worry":

"Son, I'm just afraid you'll suffer a loss. I raised you little by little, can I still harm you? Let's be honest... Giang Duong, it's not clean!"

Tong Anh Due did not object. But the eyes... already believed. If there wasn't a camera, I really wouldn't know... She could talk behind my back like that. Apparently, in the past, she always said "family harmony comes first" and often reminded him to treat me well. In the end… what happened?
