Everyone in the village knew that that young girl was sensible and hard working. After Hector brought her home, she had been doing the laundry, cooking, and all the other chores for Hector. The people in the village urged Hector, "The young girl is too young. Send her back to her parents You already have the widow, so don't ruin the young girl."
Who knew that Hector would say such a thing? Hector grinned. "I have already ruined her! She is not willing t o go back. She has a stepmother back at home who has been beating her up badly every day. She was forced to come out and be a bargirl at the nightclub. Because she is young, she did not know who to fawn over others, so she had offended someone and was beaten up. If I did not save her, she might have been beaten to death by that person. Hana is very grateful t o me, so she said she wants to be with me for the rest o f her life."
"How old is she?" asked someone with concern.
"Almost seventeen," Hector blurted out.
Everyone was speechless.
"Hahaha. Perhaps I have luck in finding myself a wife. All of you have said that I will never be able to get a wife in this life. Look at me now. I have got a sweet young wife, who is as pretty as a flower, without even spending a penny!"
Seeing Hector so smug, an elder in the village then kicked Hector’s leg. "Be nicer to her! Live your life properly! Don’t gamble anymore! And, don’t go harming that widow anymore!"
"I got it, Mister Tripp."
