Chapter 3 — The Bride Was Kidnapped

4 I warmly crawled into his arms: "It turns out you still remember me, I thought you had forgotten everything." Feeling me close, his whole body immediately stiffened, but soon sighed again: "My name is definitely something you heard from A Long and them, I shouldn't have trusted you from the beginning." "Say, why do you keep teasing me? How many times have I told you, I won't fall for a beauty's tricks, and I will absolutely not let you go!" I was so speechless that my face was distorted, so I grabbed his ear and twisted it half way: "Thi Sao, give me a little light and you'll want to climb to the roof again, right?!" Hearing my harsh voice, he finally panicked, immediately separated from me, and looked intently at my face. After a long while, he shook his head vigorously: "No way! Absolutely impossible!" "My wife must be twice as wide as you, and you have an oval face, she clearly has a round face." Hearing him criticize me for having rice paper face, my blood boiled, so I punched him straight in the nose, then rolled up my pants to reveal the scar on my ankle: "You're the rice cake face! Think back, I was chased by dogs for two miles in order to save you. I should have let you be eaten by dogs! You unscrupulous bastard!" He panicked, almost knelt down: "Miss... Miss, I beg you to stop teasing me. Just what kind of fairy are you? Who told you these things?" I crossed my arms, angry: "Don't believe it? Then let me help you review your memories!" "At the age of three he secretly watched widow Liu take a bath, at the age of five he mistakenly took Tieu Phuong's underwear in the village, at the age of six he climbed a tree to steal apples and was caught by Mrs. Tran and called him a hooligan, at the age of seven he wet the bed and his nine aunts laughed at him until now..." He frantically covered my mouth: "I believe, I believe! Don't say it anymore!" I blinked innocently. He glanced around, then released his hand. I took a deep breath, deliberately raising my voice: "Eleven years old fought with the village chief's dog and was threatened to go into the pig pen. Fourteen years old skipped school and bumped into the principal and criticized him for being bald..." He covered my mouth again, almost suffocating me. I tried to hit the back of his hand. Thoi Sao's blue veins appeared on his temples. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "I believe you are Luc Linh Van! Stop talking!" Being covered by his mouth made me dizzy, I immediately nodded vigorously. Finally, I can breathe fresh air again. Seeing me like that, Thoi Sao looked guilty: "Are you okay, wife? You weren't at home waiting for me to come home, why did you run out here?" I glared at him reproachfully: "It's not your fault!" "I've been away for so many years, with no news at all. How can I survive at home alone?" "Every day, before dawn, I have to go to work in the fields. When I get home, I have to take care of four old people before I get home. I wake up earlier than a chicken in the morning, and sleep later than a dog at night. Look, what have I become?" He listened with pain, nodding repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it's my fault, it's my fault." The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, so I grabbed his arm and bit him hard. Well... it's really my husband, it's still a familiar taste! Seeing me hugging and biting, Thoi Sao hesitated for a moment and then said: "I... haven't bathed in a week..." I immediately let go: "Puff puff puff!" He laughed, raised his hand to wipe the saliva on his hand: "Are you no longer angry now?" I turned my face away, my voice cold: "Who says anger is gone?" He helplessly stood up, picked up the remaining eggs and started peeling them bark. One fruit, two fruits, three fruits... Being poor for more than twenty years, I really can't stand wasting food. Immediately she quickly held his hand: "Stop it, I'm no longer angry! I won't be able to eat it all if I peel it again!" He smiled and put the egg down, carefully separated the white, and fed it to me little by little. "It's okay, if the wife can't finish her food, the husband will help her eat." Hearing that intimate way of addressing him, I glanced at him, my cheeks bulging because I hadn't finished swallowing, and asked: "Where have you been this year, why hasn't there been any news?" Thoi Sao sighed: "Sigh, it would be too long to say." "Back then, when I went to the city to work as a laborer, they said they included food and accommodation. But right before going to work, they told me I had to pay a deposit of three thousand to prevent me from running away. Where did I get that much money, so I was so angry that I left!" “At first I wanted to return to work in the fields with my sister, but I was reluctant, afraid of being laughed at by people in the village, and even more afraid of making my sister suffer, so I just stayed in the city.” I raised my hand and flicked his forehead hard: "Why haven't I seen you with such dignity before? If I hadn't met you by chance today, would you have never planned to see me again in this life?" He scratched his head embarrassedly: "That can't be possible. I had already planned, I just need to save up enough sixty thousand to come back and find you, build a big house so you can be my wife in a dignified way!" I snorted: "So how much have you saved now?" He happily showed off like a treasure: "It's already fifty-seven thousand, after completing this job it's sixty thousand, I'll come back to see you!" I felt touched inside, but on the outside I still held my head high and looked haughty: "That's still acceptable!" Thinking for a moment, I suddenly realized something, held his hand, my pupils shrank: "Wait... this money you earned from... kidnapping?" Thoi Sao shook his head like a rattle: "No no! This is what I earned as a coolie at the construction site! Every penny is my sweat and tears, it's all clean!" As if afraid I wouldn't believe him, he immediately took out his phone to show me the transfer history. One account per day, clearly stating what to do that day. Looking at it for a while, the corners of my eyes gradually became wet. “Husband.” This time, there was no longer any fake coddling in my voice, only nostalgia and affection for him. I sat up, dried my tears, looked at him and continued to ask: "So why did you kidnap me?" He was both reluctant and amused, looking up and swearing to heaven: "Wife, this is a misunderstanding. If I knew the kidnapper was you, I would not accept this case no matter what!" “Half a month ago, a rich lady came to see me, saying that I just needed to do as she said, threatening her sister to give up, and that she would give me thirty thousand yuan in ten days.” "I was afraid that she would say I was doing something illegal so I immediately refused, but she said she would absolutely not let me break the law, so I agreed." "Unexpectedly, the person she wanted me to 'catch' was you." I laughed. Looking at it like this, maybe I even have to thank Trinh Tinh Ha. If it weren't for her, I probably wouldn't have known when I would see Thoi Sao again. Thoi Sao felt emotional for a moment, then remembered and asked me: "What about you? How did you become a rich lady?" I also sighed: "Earlier this year, my mother got sick and had to go to the hospital in the province to be examined. Just when she needed a blood transfusion, she discovered that both her parents were blood type O, and I was blood type A." Thoi Sao looked at me in surprise: "How could that be? Could it be that... I'm not my mother's biological child? What about our father?" What do I say? I rolled my eyes and hit him hard: “What are you thinking? The doctor said he was held wrongly at birth!” He seemed to wake up and smiled foolishly: "Don't be angry, wife. If you hit me, your hand will hurt."
