Chapter 3 — From B-Class Star to National Farmer

I really humiliated myself. — "They also say that other people's daughters are pretty from a young age, but are lazy to study, and insist that they want to be a star when they grow up." — “After that, I often saw you on TV, you played the role of the third child, I hated it so much.” Me: ……… — “That Tu Oanh dares to slander me, I go online and scold him every day.” — "A righteous person is not afraid of the shadow, one day the truth will be revealed. You can rest assured to stay here, no one in the village watches entertainment news, no one knows you." — “If you feel unfamiliar, let Thua Tieu take you back to your mother's house in a few days.” The mother-in-law just said she couldn't stop. From the kitchen, Luc Thua Tieu saw it and reminded him: "Mom, let's eat." On the stove is a large pot of stewed rooster, dried beans and wild mushrooms, and a ring of golden fried flour cake is placed on the edge of the pot. It's so fragrant that it makes my mouth water... — "Chi Chi, if you like to eat it, I'll kill some more and cook it for you tomorrow." My mother-in-law kept putting food into my bowl, mixed rice with chicken, and fed Haha with a big spoon. — “Be good, good baby, eat more.” Haha wagging his tail and shaking his butt. — “This lovely fat lump, so obedient and so cute.” She looked at me and Haha eating deliciously, her expression even happier than when she was eating herself. — “Mom, Haha he's overweight, he shouldn't eat too much…” I reminded. — "Where's the fat? Not at all!" — “And you, Chi Chi, you're so skinny, you have to eat a lot to be healthy.” I held the bowl and shook my head repeatedly: - "No, I've eaten too much meat these past few days, I've probably gained a few pounds." — “Eating and drinking is too indulgent, now I have to exercise to reduce my consumption.” Luc Thua Tieu ate his meal as quickly as the wind and replied: "After eating, go to sleep." I looked at him in confusion – what does eating a lot have to do with sleeping? The mother-in-law also said: - "Why are you sleeping at this hour? You young people sleep even earlier than you old people." - "Asleep." He replied coldly. {Read full version at Van Ha's love page} — "Oh my god, why are you in such a hurry to go to bed today..." Mother-in-law muttered. For some reason, I suddenly remembered the bag of condoms I bought in bulk that afternoon... 9 Luc Thua Tieu went into the room and took off his T-shirt. He was originally tall and muscular, and worked in the fields all year round, so his muscles were solid, neither excessive nor lacking. I, a female celebrity who specializes in keeping fit, was as thin as a withered bean plant standing next to him like a weak bean sprout. It feels like he just needs to raise his hand to... smash me to pieces. He turned around and grabbed his shorts from the closet. — “I'm going to take a shower.” I blushed and replied softly. I opened the closet to find my pajamas. His eyes unconsciously looked to the corner where his clothes were hung - all gray, black, dirty colors. There aren't many clothes, they're all strange brands, most of them are old, very few are new. He showered very quickly, and as soon as he came out, he felt like his eyes were glued to me. I hugged my pajamas and coughed lightly: — "I'm going to take a shower too." — “Um.” His voice was a bit hoarse. After showering, I opened the door and walked out. I bowed my head, not paying attention, so I crashed straight into... his chest. My nose hurt, I couldn't help but mumble: "Luc Thua Tieu, why is every part of your body so stiff?!" He held my waist with one hand and gently rubbed my nose with the other - rarely so gentle. His upper body was shirtless, his chest was hot. I raised my head and met that burning gaze, my whole body felt like it was on fire. He gently squeezed my hand, bowed his head and kissed me. I was kissed until I could breathe no breath. — “Luc Thua Tieu… wait… wait… I… I still have to put on a mask…” Even if the sky falls, the female star must take good care of her skin before going to sleep. Especially these past few days my skin has been a bit dry. He obeyed and let me go. — “Luc Thua Tieu, is there a problem with the climate here?” I asked as I took a mask and stuck it on my face. — “Yes, in the fall and winter it's often dry and cold, and there's a lot of wind and dust.” The person in the mirror was a few shades darker than me, so I got closer and looked closely at his face. — “I go to work in the fields every day, my skin is dry and cracked, apply this patch.” He frowned and avoided: "No need, why are men wearing masks?" — “Prolonged sun exposure will cause melasma and severely dry skin.” I started explaining. But strangely, except for being darker than mine, his skin has no flaws. It's really unfair. He still refused: — "No need, I don't make money thanks to this face." I snorted and shouted angrily: — “Come here!” Seeing that I looked unhappy, he immediately closed his mouth and obediently turned his face towards me. — “Close your eyes.” He closed his eyes and I carefully placed the mask on his face. 10 The two of us lay parallel on the bed, the newly replaced mattress was really soft. — “The custom-made mattress needs to wait. I'll buy this temporarily for you to use first.” Luc Thua Tieu tilted his head and looked at me. — “This is great, you don't need to order it, it's very expensive, you have to work hard to earn money.” I quickly waved my hand. The custom-made mattress costs hundreds of thousands. If the mother-in-law knew, she would definitely panic. — "I don't have anywhere to spend money. If you need anything, just ask Tieu Gia or A Hoang to buy it." Having finished speaking, he added another sentence: — "Buy the best one." Me: …………… It's late autumn, I'm still cold in a long-sleeved nightgown. Looking over at him — still only wearing boxers, naked. A good figure is beautiful, but do you need to show it off every day? — “Luc Thua Tieu, please wear your nightgown.” He was stunned: — “I don't have a nightgown…” — “Do you usually sleep like this?” — “Yes, all year round.” — “Isn't it cold?” — “Not cold.” Are we… living in the same season? I couldn't believe it, I reached out to touch his chest - his skin was as hot as a heater. How strange. I tried touching it lower... still hot. Curiosity couldn't stand it, my mind was hot, my hands couldn't control myself... I continued to probe further. Just as I was about to touch a place I shouldn't have touched, I suddenly came to my senses and quickly retracted my hand. But he was caught. He softly called my name: — “Chi Chi.” — “Ah… ah…” He pointed to the mask on his face: — “This… how long does it take?” — “Almost… almost…” 11 Finally enduring the time to take off the mask, he took it off and quickly washed his face. I had just finished washing my face, but before I could breathe, he pressed me on the sink, lowered my head and kissed me. — “Luc Thua Tieu, this can't be…” — “I still have to apply lotion…” He gritted his teeth and endured it, letting me go. I stood in front of the mirror applying each layer of moisturizer, while he stood behind me, interestedly observing each move. I began to popularize skin care knowledge for this "man of steel" husband: - "This is rose water, you have to apply it first." — "And this is an eye cream, applied around the eye area. This is a nourishing cream, applied all over the face, understand?" He nodded vigorously. — “And this is lotion.” He frowned and asked in bewilderment: — "Is the... lotion for the chest?" Me: ……… Aaaa!!! — "No! Also put on your face!" He reached out and hugged me tightly from behind, his voice was somewhat flattering: — "You were wrong, in the future you will definitely learn properly." His hot breath blew close to my ear. I put my hands on his chest and said nervously: - "Luc Thua Tieu, don't kiss his face..." - "Why?" — “When you kiss me, all the moisturizer comes off, I have to wash my face and reapply it, it's so annoying.” He frowned in thought: — “Uh… do you have anything on your lips?” — “Yes, I applied lip balm…” Before I could finish my sentence, he lifted me up. He smiled in a low voice in his ear: "Then I'll help you reapply it later." The wedding night came late, but everything happened very naturally. He is a bit clumsy, but very proactive and strong. At first, he was gentle and considerate of my feelings. But then… I started to doubt life. — "Luc Thua Tieu, you're a liar! This time it's over!" — “This time is really the last time, I won't lie to you…” He was as strong as an ox, I struggled forever and couldn't escape. I was so angry that I bit him, but he didn't react, as if he didn't know what pain was. What is honest and simple? Clearly a scoundrel in disguise! I don't remember exactly when I fell asleep, I just remember feeling sleepy and exhausted. Vaguely I felt him carry me to the shower, then feed me a full glass of water. 12 The next morning, while I was sleeping soundly, I was awakened by my mother-in-law's screams in the yard: — "Oh my dear, don't run, come back here quickly!" I opened my eyes sleepily, the side next to me was empty, I couldn't see anyone. I don't know what this person did. Last night he "tormented" me until midnight, then woke up early in the morning and went to the fields as if nothing had happened. I put on my slippers and sleepily walked out into the yard. — “Mom, what's going on?” I yawned, my eyes still closed. — “Oh my god Chi Chi, Haha it ran away, I can't hold it, it's so strong!” The mother-in-law was so impatient that she jumped up. - "Huh!?" I didn't bother to notice that I was wearing pajamas and slippers and rushed out of the house. Haha ran as fast as a rocket, just out the door and disappeared. My mother-in-law and I divided each other in our own direction to search. Last night I was "beaten up" so badly that I can't even walk or stand anymore. — “Haha! Haha!” I gritted my teeth and endured it, calling out hoarsely as I walked. Passing by the village - where information is gathered, a group of old women chatting suddenly turned their heads to look at me. I didn't care, I was just frantically looking for a dog. — “Haha! Haha!” I don't know who asked: "Oh my gosh, Thua Tieu's wife, why are you so happy so early in the morning?"
