Chapter 5 — Priceless Jade

Suddenly, he stood up and said seriously:

“Dong Dong, he is 25 years old, a union-level officer, monthly salary is 78 VND. When he goes on duty, there is an additional bonus, currently he has saved 1,500 VND.

After getting married, if you don't want to live with my mother, I can ask for my own house. I know how to cook and do laundry. After getting married, let me take care of the house. If you want to have a baby then have a baby, if you don't want to then don't. If my parents urge me, I will handle it well.” My face got hot.

“I have finished writing the marriage application. If you agree, I will immediately go find the tour leader to ask for approval.”

I bowed my head and stammered: "Let me... let me think." He said in a low voice: "What I say will always be effective. I will love you like I love my country." When I got home, I saw Tham Due Chuong and Tham Ngo sitting sullenly on the sofa.

"Dad, brother, what's going on? Why do you two look like you've lost a lot of rice?"

I nervously approached. Tham Due Chuong raised his head, his eyes red: "Baby, I can't bear to marry you!" Tham Ngo looked miserable and lamented: "I knew right away there was a problem with that guy!" I frowned:

“How do you two know?”

Tham Due Chuong snorted coldly: "You haven't asked for permission yet and you want to marry my daughter, do you think I'm easy?"

"Dad! The Dien family's house is right next to our house!"

"I don't care! If I don't get married, I'll raise you all my life!"

"You can raise me too."

I didn't bother paying attention to the two of them and turned back to the room. Dien Huu's words kept ringing in my ears, I tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. In the dream, it was all about him. After the troupe's training session, I met Dien Huu again.

“That's the twelfth time this week, aren't you busy?”

He seriously replied: "The captain said I'm 25 years old, so I should resolve my personal matters soon." I walked away frustrated.

“Dong Dong!”

I turned around, frowning: "Luc Thanh Chau? What are you doing here?" He stammered: "I missed you, so I came to find you." I asked in a cold voice: "Where is Zeng Uyen Uyen? Haven't you two always been together?"

"Don't mention her anymore! If she hadn't provoked division, we would have been married!"

He pretended to be in love.

"That's enough! We've made it clear, stay away from me!"

"Dong Dong, didn't you intentionally come to the military district that my father knew? You're implying that I came to find you, right?"

I looked at him with unbelievable eyes: "Have you ever thought about the fact that my father is also here? My brother is also here?" He looked confused. I put Dien Huu's arm next to me: "Introduction, this is my fiance." Luc Thanh Chau staggered a step, muttering: "No way! You did that just to annoy me, right?" He raised his hand to pull me back. Dien Huu took a step forward and lifted him away: "Behave properly with my fiancee." Not far away, there was the sound of hurried footsteps. Two soldiers ran over and controlled Luc Thanh Chau.

"Thank you, Captain Dien, Master Luc has been arrested for corruption. We are here to expel Luc Thanh Chau."

Luc Thanh Chau struggled and shouted: "Dong Dong! Please help Uncle Tham, tell him to help my father! I agree to marry you!" I seriously said to the two soldiers: "Quickly take him away, you're talking too much nonsense." Tang Uyen Uyen is the daughter of my father's comrade, her mother ran away with her others, leaving only her alone. I looked at Luc Thanh Chau and smiled sarcastically: "What? Not willing?" He was stunned, turned and ran. I was puzzled: "Where did he run to?" Dien Huu slowly said: "Go find the tour leader and ask for a marriage certificate." One month later. My father informed me that after Luc Thanh Chau's father was arrested for embezzlement, the Luc family completely collapsed. Luc Thanh Chau was expelled to Thanh Phong team. He couldn't bear the shock and blamed Zeng Uyen Uyen all day long. The two struggled to the point of losing control, eventually killing each other. I raised my eyebrows and shook my head. Consider it a surprise wedding gift.

“Dad, brother, have you two prepared your speech for my wedding?”

Tham Due Chuong and Tham Ngo hugged each other and cried. End
