My mother always wanted me to marry early so she could have grandchildren, adding joy to our home.

I was very happy because our family background was ordinary, my mother was a widow, and I was just a hardworking but not affluent individual, yet she agreed to marry me. I loved my wife very much, perhaps too much, so sometimes I was consumed by irrational jealousy. It was a bad habit, but because of my deep love for her, I couldn't control the surge of emotions whenever another man approached or got close to Vu Nuong.
