Chapter 5 — Change Destiny Thanks to Comments
I instinctively reached out to hold his arm:
"You're injured. Wait for me a moment, I'll go inside and get some red medicine to apply to you."
In his heart, Luc Kieu understood very clearly that it was late at night and he should not stand near my house for too long. If others see it, rumors will definitely appear. Reason urged him to leave immediately. But his legs felt like they were nailed to the ground, unable to move even half a step. While he was still struggling, I pulled his injured hand back. I dipped in red medicine and gently wiped the wound. I asked in a low voice:
“Does it hurt?”
Luc Kieu's whole body immediately stiffened. He lived for nineteen years, no one ever cared about him, and no one asked him if he was in pain or not. A bitter feeling welled up in my heart. But he still tried to speak contrary to his heart:
“No pain.”
I looked at the bright red mark on the back of his hand and couldn't help but frown:
"How can it not be painful? The skin is already torn to the point of bleeding. After returning home, absolutely do not let the wound get wet, otherwise it will take a long time to heal."
Luc Kieu replied softly. Then he turned around, walked into the night and returned home. As soon as he opened the door, he saw only empty bowls and chopsticks left on the table. My parents and younger brother have finished eating and have gone to rest for a long time. They didn't leave him even half a morsel of food. Seeing him coming home late, they immediately scolded him:
"Just lounging around outside all day! Having such free time, don't you know how to carry a full jar of water in the house?"
Luc Kieu lowered his eyes. He didn't say a word and quietly returned to his old dirt house. A few days later, Luc Kieu and I often met in the fields. His eyes looking at me were much softer. No longer cold and distant like before. Trieu Ngoc Linh noticed the difference between us. She found an opportunity and came to see Luc Kieu again. But after several times when she intentionally divided her, Luc Kieu avoided her like a poisonous snake, not believing a word she said at all. Luc Kieu is not a stupid person. If Kieu An Hao really hates him, why does she still have to bring him food? Why did you carefully wipe the wound and tell him not to let the wound get wet? Trieu Ngoc Linh's lies to cause trouble right now only make him feel disgusted. From the comments, I know Luc Kieu's attitude towards Trieu Ngoc Linh. I silently breathed a sigh of relief. In the future, anyone can follow Luc Kieu back to the city to enjoy the blessings. Only Trieu Ngoc Linh cannot! At first, she secretly intentionally paired me with Nhi Cau Tu. She intentionally wanted to ruin my whole life. Based on this alone, I can't forgive her. Seeing Luc Kieu avoiding him like a poisonous snake, not wanting to say a single word to him, Trieu Ngoc Linh was both impatient and panicked. She decided to return home and begged her parents to go to the Luc family to propose marriage on her behalf. Wherever the parents put it, the child sits there. This time, Luc Kieu definitely cannot refuse anymore. Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Father Trieu Ngoc Linh slammed the pipe down on the edge of the table. He turned pale and shouted:
"What's good about Luc Kieu? Besides his face, what else does he have? Can he feel full after just looking at his face?"
"His family is extremely poor, his parents still favor the youngest son. I want to marry over there and then drag our whole family to help him." poor?”
“I tell you, don't dream! Later, let me see you approaching Luc Kieu and I will break your legs!
Trieu Ngoc Linh's mother sitting next to her also sighed and scolded:
“What your father said is not wrong. Don't think about this anymore. Later, let us see you proactively approach Luc Kieu and see if mom will teach you!”
Trieu Ngoc Linh was stunned on the spot, feeling pain that he couldn't express. She couldn't say the real reason. She is the one who enters the story. She knew Luc Kieu was not the son of an ordinary farmer family. He is the only son lost for many years of a family of high-ranking officials. Later, his biological parents will come and solemnly welcome him back to the city. With her mouth unable to keep the original owner's parents' secret, she absolutely did not dare to reveal this matter. She can only use her own way to marry Luc Kieu. The path of asking parents to arrange the marriage was completely blocked. Trieu Ngoc Linh's hands hanging next to her body clenched tightly. If she can't borrow her family's strength, she can only think of another way to make Luc Kieu willingly marry her. A few days later, the village secretary's son held a wedding. Both young and old in the village came to the party. Inside and outside the yard are dozens of wooden tables. The noise of people talking loudly and the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding echoed continuously. Trieu Ngoc Linh sat in the middle of the crowd, his eyes always fixed on Luc Kieu. She followed Luc Kieu's eyes again, observing Kieu An Hao. Realizing the unusual atmosphere between the two people, the evil intention that Trieu Ngoc Linh was hesitant about was finally decided. Taking advantage of the chaotic crowd, she quietly placed a glass of water in front of Luc Kieu's table. During the party, Luc Kieu's eyes always unconsciously fell on me. His heart was warm, completely unaware of anything unusual. He conveniently held the glass of water in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. Just a moment later, a wave of heat immediately rose. The blood in his body seemed to be boiling, and his reason gradually collapsed. Luc Kieu was immediately alert and quickly realized something was wrong. He stood up, quickly left the party, and ran straight to the river outside the village. Arriving at the riverbank, he quickly took off his coat and immersed his whole body in the cold water. But the coldness of the river water could not completely quench the heat rolling in his body. In his mind, Kieu An Hao's curved eyes and smile continuously appeared, unable to dispel it. Seeing Luc Kieu panicking and leaving the party, the corner of Trieu Ngoc Linh's lips curled up into a satisfied smile. She immediately chased him to the riverbank. She saw the guy, half-naked, soaking in the water.
