Chapter 13
Chapter 13 — The day I gave birth to my two children, I gave birth to myself again
The screen immediately switched to the sixth photo. Wedding contract of Duyet Lan hotel. Bride and groom's name: Co Dinh Xuyen - To Man. Total value: 168,000 yuan. Payer: Co Dinh Xuyen. Seventh photo. Jewelry store receipt. Eighth picture. House purchase documents at Starview Garden. Ninth picture. Joint family account statement. I read each clause.
“These eight hundred and eighty thousand yuan…”
“It's money to buy a house for To Man.”
“This one hundred and eighty-eight thousand yuan…”
“It's money to buy diamond rings and wedding jewelry.”
“Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine yuan…”
“It's a bride price given to the To family.”
“These two hundred and fifty thousand yuan…”
“Invested in To Man's flower shop.”
“This eighty thousand yuan…”
“It's a wedding deposit.”
I stopped. He bowed his head and looked at his two children. Both still slept very well. I gently stroked my child's hair. Then continue.
“And all that money…”
“It's all from the child support fund in the joint account.”
"It's the money I got after selling the apartment I bought before marriage."
In the hall. The air completely exploded. The Co family's relatives looked at each other. The two leaders of Co Dinh Xuyen company turned pale. General Director Ly of my company sat quietly. Fingers steadily tapped on the table. To Man's father suddenly rushed in front of Co Dinh Xuyen. He growled:
“When I married my daughter…”
“You still haven't divorced Giang Duong?”
Co Dinh Xuyen opened his mouth.
"Uncle... the relationship between me and her has long been broken..."
A slap fell. The sound was deafening. To Man's father shouted loudly.
“I asked you!”
“ARE YOU DIVORCED?”
The blow caused Co Dinh Xuyen's head to move completely to one side. Trieu Tu Lan screamed loudly.
“On what basis did you beat my son?”
To Man's mother also rushed forward.
“You guys from the Co family said that Giang Duong has signed the divorce papers!”
“Tell her she doesn't need two kids!”
“Tell me my daughter entered the Co family's house cleanly and righteously!”
I looked at her.
“Is To Man pure or not…”
“She is the one who knows best.”
The screen immediately switched to a screenshot of the chat. To Man: Will she really sign the divorce papers? Co Dinh Xuyen: After giving birth, she was very weak. Threaten her with two kids and she will sign. To Man: Posting wedding photos on the same city's forum... did she see it? Co Dinh Xuyen: She is in the operating room. Nowhere to be found. To Man: Then post it. I want everyone to know... I'm Mrs. Co. To Man's mother immediately covered her mouth. Tears welled up. Her father turned and left. Trieu Tu Lan rushed forward to pull the projector's cord. But Giang Chanh was one step ahead. I pressed play on the last recording. From the speaker system in the hall. Trieu Tu Lan's voice rang out clearly.
"Take advantage of the time when the other party is giving birth and can't get out of bed. Everything is done today and everything will be fine. Wait a month and then pick up the baby, what else can he do then?"
The whole hall... It was dead silent. Trieu Tu Lan stood dumbfounded. Face as gray as ash. No one tells me to think about the big picture anymore. No one said I had postpartum emotional disorder anymore. Evidence speaks out. And it resonates louder than any excuse. Right at that moment. Co Dinh Xuyen suddenly turned to everyone.
“It's all her collage!”
“She has postpartum depression!”
“Everyone, don't believe!"
Been waiting for this exact statement. The hall door opened. Tran Tran walked in. In his hand he held a bag of documents. She calmly said:
“I am the lawyer representing Ms. Giang Duong.”
"All videos, audio recordings, contracts and statements just shown have been put through procedures to preserve evidence."
"If you continue to spread the news that Ms. Giang Duong has mental problems..."
"We will add a request to sue for defamation."
She placed another file on the table.
"This also includes the hospital's nursing records, postpartum psychological screening results and a consent form for surgery."
"All prove that Ms. Giang Duong is alert, cognitively normal, and completely capable of taking care of her child."
“On the contrary…”
“It was you who was absent on the day your wife gave birth.”
"The next day, he also submitted a request to the hospital to hand over the newborn to the father on the grounds that the mother showed signs of mental disorder."
“This behavior…”
“We will also present it to the court.”
Until now. Co Dinh Xuyen was really panicked. He looked at me. His voice no longer had any arrogance.
“Duong Duong...”
“Let's go home and talk.”
I bent down. Carry your son in your arms. Giang Chanh also hugged her daughter and stood next to me. I looked around the hall. Speak slowly.
“Today…”
“The Co family wants me to stand on this stage and apologize.”
“I will apologize.”
“I apologize to my two children.”
“I'm sorry mom was so blind.”
“So that right from the moment your children cry when they are born…”
“Had to see such a dirty play.”
“After this... there will be no more.”
