My name is Dat. In the past, my grandfather gave me this name in the hope that I would be successful and talented in the future, but my life was calm and full of turmoil. At the age of 35, I fell off a scaffolding and seriously injured my lower back. From then on, my wife and I almost switched roles.

I couldn’t work hard anymore, so I had to go home and do light work, taking responsibility for taking care of my elderly parents and young children. My wife decided to go to the city to find a job despite everyone’s advice. In fact, at that time my mother-in-law even advised my wife to divorce, because she did not want her to suffer. But my wife didn’t listen, she said husband and wife need to support each other and can’t abandon each other when it’s difficult, everyone can take care of each other.

After that, my wife went to work as a maid for a well-off family in the city. The wife said that her main job is to take care of a bedridden old lady, cook and clean the house. Salary 10 million per month, food and accommodation included.

– The job is very easy, the landlord treats me very well. You can rest assured at home to recuperate, take care of your children and parents, you don’t have to worry about me.

Since I fell off a scaffold and seriously injured my waist, my wife and I have switched roles. (Illustration)

Hearing my wife say that made me feel secure. But the strange thing is that even though my wife is at home all day, many times when I call her she doesn’t answer. Last Tet, my wife did not return home. She said the old lady was seriously ill, the landlord and his wife were both busy so they wanted her to stay and help, her salary would triple these days.

But a month after Tet, my wife still hasn’t come home. My daughter hasn’t seen her mother in a year. Every day she asks where she is, which makes my heart feel extremely sad.

Last weekend I took my child to the city to find my mother. Wanting to surprise my wife, I didn’t notify her in advance. But when I got to the address my wife gave me, the family member said my wife had quit her job a long time ago, so I had to call her.

My wife was very surprised when I brought my child here. Then the wife sent another address. When I arrived, I saw the shabby 4-level house and realized my wife had been lying to me the whole time.

My father and I waited at the door for a while before seeing my wife return. From head to toe, no part of her was clean, covered in dirt. Hands are also rough, skin is very dark. To be honest, if I accidentally met her on the street, I’m not sure I would recognize my wife.

When I saw my wife, I was really shocked. (Illustration)

Pushing the door open, I was even more surprised by the scene inside. The small room is about 10 square meters without a window. On the dining table is a bowl of instant noodles. Maybe my wife didn’t have time to wash it after eating it this morning.

Witnessing this scene, I couldn’t hold back my tears, so I hugged my wife and children and cried. It’s all due to my incompetence, it’s my fault that my wife has to suffer like this.

When I calmed down, my wife told me the truth:

– Before, I also worked as a maid, my salary was 7 million including food and accommodation. But the landlord was difficult, the old lady was a bit difficult to please, staying up late at night was very tiring so I asked for leave to go work at the construction site. This accommodation is provided by the construction company for workers, two people live in one room like this. The salary for working overtime is also good, so I stuck around. I’m sorry for hiding it from you.

There is a saying that “husband and wife are like birds in the forest. When the forest burns, each child will be strong and fly,” but my wife is not like that. Knowing that I had to endure many hardships, she still did not abandon me and always tried her best for this family. I am really lucky to meet such a kind wife. But I don’t want my wife to work so hard. However, with her health like this, I don’t know what to do to help her.
