Chapter 1 — The Evil One Wants to Replace Me as the Chief Master's Wife

The second day after I gave birth to a pair of dragons and phoenixes, the two babies were stolen. I was in extreme pain and tried to get up and search for two years but still could not find my children. It wasn't until after my death that I saw a strange woman carrying my child to the military compound, pretending to be me and clinging to my chief husband. She took my name and enjoyed glory and wealth for forty years, while my child was filial to her all his life. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day I gave birth and was pushed back to the hospital room. The patient in the next bed smiled and gave me an apple: "Little sister, giving birth is hard, eat an apple to replenish your strength." Looking at her face, my whole body trembled. She is the one who stole my child in my previous life! ……“Little sister, you're finally awake!” A voice rang out next to the bed. I tilted my head. The woman in the next bed was smiling and sitting on the edge of my bed. In her hand she held a red apple: "Giving birth is hard, eat an apple to replenish your strength." In that moment, I felt my whole body freeze. I looked at this face for forty years after my death. She hugged my son and daughter and stood in front of the military zone compound, saying she was Tham Mach. She cried and said that the children could not be without a father. My man believes in her, my child believes in her, everyone believes in her. She wore clothes that belonged to me, lived in a house that belonged to me, and my children surrounded her and called her mother for forty years. “Sister?” She held the apple forward again. My hand under the blanket trembled so violently that I could barely control it. But I still tried to hold back. "Thank you, I just gave birth and can't eat cold food." I didn't accept. Her smile stiffened for a moment. Then, she smiled again, stood up and grabbed the hot water bottle in the corner. "Then drink some hot water. I just got the boiling water back, it's still very hot." She filled an enamel mug and brought it in front of me with both hands. I didn't move. "Sister, there's no need to bother you." "Oh my, what's the trouble?" She deliberately placed the mug on my bedside table, then bent down to pull the corner of the blanket: "It's fate that the two of us are placed in the same hospital room. You just gave birth, and there's not a single person around to help, how can I ignore it?" While speaking, her eyes continuously glanced at my face. "I can do it myself." She seemed not to hear, straight. The rope pulled a small chair to sit next to my bed. "Little sister, giving birth to a pair of dragons and phoenixes is a great blessing!" She leaned closer, glancing at the two cradles: "Why don't your family members come? Where is your husband? Where is your mother-in-law?" The rope in my heart immediately tightened. Here we come. In her previous life, she also used this method to get information from me. At that time, I had just had my surgical wound stitched, the anesthesia had not yet worn off, and my mind was as thick as glue. Whatever she asked, I answered. I stupidly told everything, but felt that she was a good person, enthusiastic to help me, so my heart felt extremely warm. Now that I think about it, the me in my previous life was really an idiot! "They're busy, they'll come in a few days." "Busy?" She tsk tsk twice. "Is there anything more important than my wife giving birth? Little sister, aren't you being tricked?" I didn't answer. She looked at me again. "So what do you plan to do tonight? You just gave birth, the surgery wound hasn't healed yet. At night the babies cry, you can't even pick them up." She suddenly stood up and walked towards the two cradles. "Let's do this, tonight I'll help you take care of your baby, you can rest assured to get a good night's sleep..." She bent down. The hand reached out towards my children. My heart beats violently,

Almost instinctively shouted: "Don't touch my child!" I grabbed Lam Uyen Tran's wrist, the scream was so loud that it made the whole hospital room shake. The aunt in the next bed was the first to stand up: "What are you doing? Tieu Lam has the kindness to help you, but you're still moving your arms and legs?" The pregnant woman next to her who was drinking water also turned her head and frowned. The mother-in-law, who was taking care of the pregnant woman in the opposite bed, pointed straight at me: "Why doesn't your young daughter-in-law know such things these days? Do people owe you money?" Lam Uyen Tran hugged her wrist, her lips trembling twice. She sighed: "Little sister, even if you don't want to accept my kindness, you can't slander others like that. I saw you giving birth to a pair of dragons and phoenixes, lying here with no one around to pour a glass of water for you, so I couldn't help but want to help." The other aunt immediately continued: "That's right! Tieu Lam has been busy since morning, pouring water and covering you with a blanket. If you can't even say thank you, then just push people. Which village did you come from?" Is that so?" Lam Uyen Tran waved her hand: "Okay, okay, stop talking. She just gave birth, so she's nervous. As a mother, who doesn't protect her child?" It sounded like she was relieving me, but every word was silently labeling me. The pregnant woman next to her muttered: "If you're stressed, you can beat someone? Who isn't a mother?" The mother-in-law in the opposite bed snorted: "I think she's just afraid that her children won't be close to her in the future. I've met many mothers like that."I don't pay attention to these people. Lam Uyen Tran hugged her wrist and returned to her bed, still muttering that her kindness was seen by others as a wild animal's heart. The aunt in the bed next to the curtain scolded me twice. Seeing that I didn't respond, she also felt discouraged and turned around to sleep. I don't sleep. I pulled the two cradles next to my bed, right next to the pillow, just reaching out to reach them. The children's two small wrinkled faces appeared outside their diapers, their breathing was sometimes light and sometimes heavy, like two kittens. That whole night, I didn't sleep a wink. It's not that I don't want to sleep, it's that I don't dare. Every time my eyelids drooped and I heard people walking in the hallway, I immediately woke up and put my hand into the crib. Only when I touched two warm little bodies did I breathe a sigh of relief. In the middle of the night, Lam Uyen Tran got up to go to the bathroom. As she passed my bed, she stopped for a moment. I didn't speak, just opened my eyes wide and stared at her. Perhaps scared by my eyes, she muttered "psycho" and quickly walked away. The next day, she didn't come near me all day. But on the evening of the third day, she brought over a bowl of millet porridge. "Sister, I don't care about yesterday's matter. You had a cesarean section and had to drink some porridge soup to get milk..." "No need." "Look how dry your lips are..." "I said no need." She stood there for a long time, put down the bowl of porridge and smiled: "Okay, I'll leave it here, you can drink it when you want." She turned and left. I stared at that bowl of porridge. Waiting for everyone in the hospital room to sleep, I quietly picked it up and dumped it in the trash. By the third day, I couldn't stand it anymore. For two days and two nights there was almost no sleep, the incision was dull and painful, the milk was not enough, the two children took turns crying. While I held one baby to breastfeed, the other baby lay in the crib screaming, the whole floor could hear. The nurse pushed the door open and came in to measure my blood pressure. As soon as I measured, my systolic blood pressure had reached one hundred and sixty. "You can't be like this! Where are your family members? Quickly call and tell them to come!" Lam Uyen Tran beside her also smiled and advised: "That's right, sister. I see you've been up all night until you're exhausted, you should still call someone to take care of you."

"I was both sleepy and tired, and at this point I was finally about to be unable to hold on any longer. The desire to protect my children and the fear of losing them were tightly wrapped in my heart. This time I did not continue to be stubborn, I could only grit my teeth and think about whether or not I should call my husband who existed like air or not. The nurse's voice asking still rang in my ears. I opened my mouth and casually said: "No one." "No one? Where is your mother-in-law? Where is your husband?" I didn't say anything. The nurse looked at me, sighed and didn't ask any more questions. She put away the blood pressure monitor, poured me a glass of water, her voice softened: "Your surgery wound is not recovering well. If you continue to endure this, something will happen. No matter what, I have to call someone over." She paused and then added: "If you really don't want to call a family member, you can hire someone to take care of the patient." I leaned against the head of the bed, my eyes constantly dark. Can the caregiver help me keep an eye on Lam Uyen Tran? Can the caregiver stop those hands from reaching towards the crib in the few seconds I close my eyes? I close my eyes, images of my past life are swirling in my head. Luc Tranh and I are not a loving couple. That year, because of family problems, they were forced to go to the countryside and were assigned to our village. Since I was a child, my father and mother loved me. I also treated them kindly. When the village had a landslide, I risked my life to pull them out of the mud. Luc's mother hugged me and said that from now on, they were her daughter forced Luc Tranh to marry me. I was stupid and had no opinion about it. But Luc Tranh was always cold. The number of times we met could be counted on one hand. My husband's parents treated me very well, treating me like their own daughter. But two years ago, Luc Tranh immediately became empty. He only came back once a year. Last time he came back, he drank too much My body ached. Looking next to me, Luc Tranh had returned to the military area. So, I still didn't tell him that I was pregnant. I also insisted on giving birth alone. Unexpectedly, I fell in pain and buried my whole life. But after I died, he really treated the two children very well. When Niu Niu had a fever, he didn't leave The house took care of her for three days. When he gave her medicine, Niu Niu refused to open her mouth. He crushed the medicine into powder, mixed it with sugar water, and then used a small spoon to put every drop into her mouth. In the middle of the night, Niu Niu was so feverish that he carried her around the room until morning. He was not afraid of hardship or fatigue since childhood building snowmen and constantly holding them up high. Luc Tranh was never absent from parent-teacher meetings. He even read stories to the children before sleeping. I blinked, trying to stop the tears from falling. "Nurse." She turned to leave, I called back: "Nurse." I gritted my teeth: "I'm going to make a phone call, can you help me look after the children for a while?" Just for a moment. Absolutely don't let others touch them." She was stunned, then nodded: "Okay. Go quickly and come back." "Can't call anymore." I stood up with my hands on the edge of the bed. Every step felt like I was stepping on the tip of a knife. Just a few dozen steps from the hospital room to the nurse's station made my back wet.
