Kind Navy Medic Takes In a Homeless Mother and Daughter, Giving Them a New Beginning JJ

*Introduction* Trieu Luyen wishes you a peaceful new day… today, follow me as I harvest custard apples to earn some extra income . Here’s a ripe custard apple.

It smells so good! This one is really sweet and juicy. Now we’ll go harvest it. There are quite a few ripe ones in this orchard. Let’s start cutting…

the big ones with the eyes wide open are ready to be cut. – Hello, sir! – Oh, hello, miss!

I’m finally able to come and congratulate you on your grand opening today. I had some work at the office the other day, so I couldn’t make it back in time. I’m coming to congratulate you on your grand opening today. I wish you great success! I don’t know what to give, so I just have a small gift for you, I hope you’ll accept it.

Oh yes, you’re too polite, and… a gift for me too. Well, please sit down and have some water! Wow, your shop is so big and beautiful! Yes, I live… it’s quite spacious here, miss. We sell a lot of things. – Here, have some water! – Yes. – The other day… your mother invited me, but… I was busy with my internship at school that day, so I couldn’t take time off. – Oh.

– Really? If you couldn’t come… please understand. – Um, yes, it’s nothing, miss. Well… everyone has their own work, and I’m glad you were able to come today. Thank you! You’re so kind, and you even brought a gift for me, I’m really embarrassed! – Oh, yes, thank you. – I wish you good business! Um, yes, thank you! – Your shop is spacious and beautiful, isn’t it? – Um, yes.

It’s… about 10 square meters here, miss, it’s spacious and has a lot of things. By the way, I’m looking to buy a dressing table. – Can you show me around? – Oh, yes! Come in, I have a lot here, many models, dressing tables, cabinets and shelves and all that. “Um, here, miss, this is my dressing table, this is…

” – “Is this wood?” – “Yes, wood. This is a square and a round one, and besides that, I have many other types inside. ” – “This is plywood… plywood and plastic.” – “Plastic? Let me see. ” – “Yes, I have some here, miss. Here, here are some wood samples.” – “Yes. Here, these are some wood samples. Here, you can take a look at the wood samples first, then I’ll show you…

those plastic ones. These wooden ones… are durable for years, miss. Here, the drawers. ” – “How much is this one?” – “Ah, this one is 3,000,000 dong, miss. Here, over there is the same. This is the round one, with an electric mirror, touch controls over here. ” – “Do you have any plastic ones for me to see?” – “Here, it’s over here, come this way.

Um, here, miss, these are the plastic ones in my house. Here, you can take a look, if you like them, I’ll ship them to your house.” – Yes. This model is cheaper, this one is only 3,000,000. Here, take a look. Here, here are the drawers and all that. Here’s the chair, the matching chair. Here, the chair. Yes, the dressing chair.

There, just take a look. If you like this model or that… wooden one, just tell me, I’ll ship it to your house. – Um. Let me go home and check, see if the size fits my room… or if I’ll call you to ship it. – Um, is your room… spacious? If it’s a normal room, this model would be suitable, quite normal. Do you like this color or… this, the wood color…

or another color? This color has a lot of options. Lots of things! Oh, by the way, some of my colleagues are building houses. Do you accept… contracts… to sell these items… – …furniture? – Ah, yes. “Well, on my side, for example, whatever style they like… we’ll design it and provide samples. ” – “Okay, let me introduce you to them!” – “Yes, thank you!” – “Um, but those ladies asked if we have…

plastic … items …” – “That’s right, and as for wood, we have it… ma’am. Plywood, solid plastic, and even wood-like materials, imitation wood, and imitation wood plastic. For example, if those ladies like… or if your colleagues like a particular design, just tell me, and we’ll make it according to their requests.

” – “Okay, then could you give me your phone number? It’ll be easier for me to contact you.” – “Okay, ma’am, please write it down.” If you need anything, tell them to contact me, I’ll give you advice. 0869… 123… – 6 already, please save that number! – Yes, ma’am. Okay, thank you! If you need anything, I’ll rely on you to introduce me to some options. – Yes.

There are many tables and chairs here. If you like anything, just… tell me. Anyway, come have some water! – Yes, ma’am. Drink some water to cool off, there are no fans here. – Hmm, these cabinets are beautiful, aren’t they? – Yes, ma’am, these cabinets are at my house… this one is the solid plastic cabinet.

And this one is the plywood cabinet. This one is the solid plastic cabinet. Hmm, beautiful! When my house is finished… – I’ll buy one. – Oh, you’re building a house? – Yes. Oh, here’s another wooden cabinet. It’s beautiful, it would look great in the living room to display these clocks. Yes, please sit down and have some water.

I’m so sad … On the day of your grand opening, my office was so busy. I couldn’t get time off, so I was planning to just send you a gift. But I felt that wouldn’t be right. So today I came here in person… um, to give you this gift in person… to express my sincere appreciation. Yes, thank you for your kindness and…

enthusiasm. And I think your location is very beautiful. – Yes, thank you. Convenient… – …in terms of transportation? – That’s right, this is a main road, it used to be… the industrial park under construction. Did you have many customers on your grand opening? Well, on that day, I had almost three tables of guests, and…

also some customers buying things. I sold about 10 sets. Oh, and today… I just received some more of these models. The other day… I sold the whole row, and today I received 10 more. “I think… the items are very nice, and the location is also nice, so I think it’s going to be good… Um yes, well, there were customers coming and going.

It was the grand opening day, so there were many discounts and promotions, and customers were very supportive. ” – “Yes, then I wish you always have many customers!” – “Yes, thank you, customers!” – “And how much did you sell that day?” – “I sold about… 7 dining sets, one set of tables and chairs, and 2 dressing tables like the ones you saw earlier.

” – “Um, did the customers come to pick them up themselves or did you deliver them to their homes?” – “Well… they’re a bit bulky, so since I have transportation, I deliver them to their homes. Yes, just give me your phone number and address, and I’ll deliver them to your house. It’s easier because nowadays people who buy…

don’t have the means to transport them… ” – “…oh.” – “That’s right, so I proactively deliver them to make it more convenient. Um, so what did you do before?” “You’re not doing this job anymore, are you?” – “Oh, right. Before, I… I was a taxi driver. Well, recently I… um… switched my business model from taxi driving…

to a furniture store. ” – “Just recently, and this furniture business is more stable than taxi driving?” – “Hmm, I hope so. Taxi driving… has many different advantages and disadvantages. That doesn’t require much capital, – but it requires a lot of effort.” – “That’s right, this one… requires much more capital.

You import the goods and sell them, making a profit. It also saves you from having to travel back and forth on the road. Driving on the road at night… carrying passengers is a pity, it’s very tiring. But I think your switch to this job… is reasonable. Because with taxi driving… you have to go whenever there’s a customer, even at night, it’s very tiring.

That’s right, there were days when I drove customers and didn’t get home until late at night.” My colleagues keep asking where they can buy nice clothes, and I tell them… I see a lot of them at your place. I’ll introduce them to you in a few days . Okay, I’ll also ask for your introductions. Because here, at my house…

the space isn’t very big. So, we’re planning to stay here… Each design only has a few sets. Like the dining tables and chairs. And the dressing tables… well, I managed to get a few sets. Because it’s made to order, whatever design the customer likes, we can make it. Solid wood, solid plastic, or plywood covered in plastic, any material…

we have it, as long as the customer likes it. Just tell them to call me or text me, and I’ll give you full advice. We have all kinds of designs. Your house is almost finished, so… let me give you my phone number and then… – they’ll text you. – Yes. And my land… just… I just heard you say you’re building a house.

– That’s right. – Um, is it almost finished? – It’s… almost finished. If it’s finished, if you need any furniture, please support me… I have everything here. “I’ll contact you then.” – “Um yes, thank you, I look forward to serving you.” – “Yes. Um, my colleagues… well, they’re building in the latest fashion.

So I see your house… has a lot of beautiful things, and as for mine, when it’s finished… I’ll contact you later. Um yes. ” – “Just contact me if you need anything.” – “Yes. Um, a few days ago, my colleagues kept asking me if there were any nice furniture stores in this area, and I couldn’t think of any at the time.

Then a few days later, your mother invited me to the grand opening, and that’s when I remembered that your store sells furniture, so… I said that since it was convenient to come over… I’d take a look at the furniture… and I saw that it was very beautiful and very suitable. ” – “Yes.” – “Then I’ll introduce you to them.

” “Yes, thank you!” “This furniture… I’m buying it to use for a long time, you know, I have to see it with my own eyes, touch it with my own hands, check the quality… if I’m satisfied, then I’ll take it. That’s how we sell things; everyone, when they spend money, wants to receive a product that meets their expectations, and that’s worth the money.

We have many designs, and we cater to the customer’s needs.” – “That’s right.” – “I can do anything at any price range, with any material. That’s right, our design and construction services are unlimited. ” – ” To meet the customer’s needs?” – “Yes. So… you don’t have anything to do today?” – “Um, I’m getting off early today.

” – ” Do you teach nearby? ” – ” Yes, that’s great, a job near home… ” – “That’s great!” – “Oh, what grade level do you teach at?” – “I teach middle school.” – “Middle school? Yes, that’s good, a job near home… ” – “That’s great!” – Yes. – Is your house nearby? Yes, it’s quite close. – Oh. Um, well, my house is only about 10 houses away from yours.

Oh, really? So we’re neighbors? Because the other day… I heard my mother say we’re neighbors… but I… um, I’m always working… well, I don’t have time to go visit the neighbors. Besides… I just moved here, you’re still unfamiliar with it. I know the neighbors right next door… but those more than 10 houses away…

I don’t pay attention. And you have your own job… well, you’re not home much, right? So where did you live before? – Oh, my house was by the river. – Oh. Well, it was recently demolished, so… my house isn’t finished yet. – Oh, so… your house is also in that newly opened urban area, right? Near my house? – Actually…

– my house is in this area. – So, your house is on this side of the neighborhood? – Your house is on the other side? – That’s right. Luckily, when I moved there… they compensated me for a house that was already there, so I just moved in. Oh, I also went to your house a few times the other day, and I always met your father there.

Oh, well, I met you at your house once that day, and you were asking about… the demolition work and stuff. – Oh, oh, now… So you must have forgotten. I didn’t say that, I just remembered now. My house was demolished later, so the house construction is almost finished now, no… no, there’s no house yet.

So your house isn’t ready-made, right? That’s right, there’s no ready-made house. – Oh, then it’s more work than mine. My house is… well, luckily it’s ready-made, so I just moved in. So it was quick. When it’s finished, don’t worry, I’ll come over to buy furniture for the house. – Um, yes. – Okay, miss, please stop by and support me sometime.

– Oh, but it’s getting late now, I’ll take my leave. – Oh, yes, then you go home, thank you! – Yes. Wishing you a successful grand opening! – Yes, yes, thank you, see you later! – Wishing you a successful grand opening!   – Take care on your way home! – Yes, ma’am. This girl is so polite, she even sent me a gift all the way here.

At first, I was very surprised, and it seemed strange, but later I asked and found out that my mother had invited her to the grand opening, but for some reason she couldn’t come, and she only came today. I’ll clean up the tables and chairs first, they’re a bit dirty. I’ve already filled a basket.

And it’s about to rain heavily. I have to get home before the rain comes. – How much is it per kilo, miss? – Ah, these custard apples are 15, these large ones are 20. – Yes, ma’am.

– Excuse me, ma’am! – Yes, ma’am, please choose. Has someone already taken these? Yes, someone has already taken them, ma’am!

These small custard apples are 15, ma’am, these large ones are 20. Yes, ma’am. – Almost 2 kilos, how much is it? – 50,000. – Yes, thank you! – I’ll buy some custard apples here. These custard apples are 15,000 dong a kilo. – Give me 50,000 dong. – Yes, here you go. 15,000 dong a kilo. 2.5 kilos for 50,000 dong.

– Is that enough? Is that 50,000 dong enough? – Please take two more. There are a few left. Here. – Okay, take all of these for me. – Yes. Here, please take them. This is 2 kilos. 2 kilos for 30,000 dong. Luckily, I sold everything early today. Now I’ll pack up and go home.

It’s so lucky it didn’t rain here, I was able to sell everything so quickly. It’s so lucky I sold so many custard apples today, the whole basket is gone. It’s so motivating to work today. Luckily it’s drizzling. I didn’t bring a hat, I’m so lucky it’s drizzling. “Try your best, my daughter. I’ll go to a friend’s house later to get some water for you.

I’ve applied for jobs at several places but no one will hire me .” – “Oh! Is that Ms. Luyen?” – “It’s Luyen. Oh, Luyen… Oh, Luyen!” – “Hello, Auntie. Where are you coming from? I’m selling custard apples… but where are you two going? ” – “I went down to the city to work but couldn’t find a job. My daughter and I came back to the countryside empty-handed. I’m wandering around looking for work.

” – “Oh, really? But I heard you were working at a company somewhere?” – ” Yes, I went down there to work… it was so hard, I couldn’t stand it anymore. They cheated me out of everything.” – “You lost your motorbike?” – “They cheated me out of everything. I almost lost my motorbike.

My daughter and I were almost sold by human traffickers. I’ll just go back to the countryside… find a job there, I can’t stand the hustle and bustle of the city anymore.” – Oh, poor you and your daughter! You both look so haggard. Have you been eating poorly lately? ” Well, there’s nothing to eat , just bread to get by… and sometimes we eat, sometimes we skip meals.

” ” I feel sorry for my daughter. She’s so young and has to follow me around. I can’t earn enough money to feed her properly. She’s been sick lately, and I feel so sorry for her. But… I can’t earn much money in the city either. So, I ‘ll go back to the countryside.

I’ll find a job there, and I’ll earn enough money for her to go to school. Eating here is cheaper than in the city. And my daughter is about to start school. I also want to let her go to school here…” “This place is cheaper. The cost of living in the city is too high; I can’t afford to send my child to school,” she said. “Yes, ma’am, I understand. I think I’ll go back to my hometown to find work and…

” “Just work in the countryside, just stay in the countryside. My child is about to start school, and I’m going back to the countryside too. In the city, the cost of sending my child to school is too high; I’m afraid I can’t afford it. I’m afraid my child will have to drop out of school, so I have to hurry and bring her back to the countryside.

Find a job, and if you can’t… you can find some odd jobs there.” “Oh… that’s really tough for you and your child! Um, and since… you started working , where are you? How’s your job? You’re only a little better off than us. I’ve managed to rent some land, build a house, and have a stable place to live. But I still haven’t found a job,” she replied.

“I haven’t found a stable job yet, so… these past few days I ‘ve been harvesting agricultural products to sell at the market, just to earn a little extra income. Having a job that earns money is enough, I’m better off than you and your daughter… except I have a place to live. My job is very unstable, though.

And since you came back, where have you and your daughter been staying? I only came back yesterday, and… I didn’t even have enough money for the bus fare, they dropped me off along the way, and then… I went to the market to look for work but nobody hired me. Last night, you and your daughter slept under a bridge.

” – “Oh, really! But… did you and your daughter sleep under the bridge at night? And your daughter… did you sleep well at night? Was it cold or did you get bitten by mosquitoes?” – “I only… got bitten by a few mosquitoes, but it’s okay. ” “I feel so sorry for your little girl! I feel sorry for my sister too, you and your daughter are having such a hard time.

” “But sister, I’ve built a house now. And my house is very close by. I’ll be living alone, so why don’t you and your mother… or maybe you could come and stay with me? ” – “I think I’m bothering you too much. No… ” – “It’s nothing, sister. I’m also living alone, but… just come and stay with me. Consider it…

my way of repaying the kindness… you helped me before. My house is also very close by, only about 2km away. It’s very peaceful there, so… it would be very quiet and comfortable for you and your mother to stay there. And you and your mother have been wandering around on the streets for the past few days…

you haven’t even showered, eaten, or rested properly yet. Just come and stay with me! ” – “Thank you, sister!” – “After we stay, we’ll figure out… where we go or what we do.” – “I’m just afraid of bothering you.” – I’m not bothering you at all, sister. I live alone too. I feel so sorry for you and your daughter, you’re both struggling so much.

Please come and stay with me. My house is only about 2km from here. It’s a very peaceful place, please come and stay with me! It’s nothing, sister, I’m just repaying the kindness you showed me before… for helping and taking me in so much. Come on, you two, come with me! – Let’s go, let’s go to Aunt Luyen’s house, we’ll have a place to sleep tonight.

I don’t have anything to offer, sister. I’m just repaying the kindness you showed me the other day… for helping and taking me in. I also heard from you that when I encounter difficult circumstances like ours, I should help within my means. And this is within my means, sister. Here, sister, you and your daughter can come to my house.

– I’m just afraid of bothering you. – It’s nothing, sister! You helped me a lot in the past, and I’m just repaying your kindness. I also followed your advice, which is that when someone is in a more difficult situation than me… within my means, I should help. This is also within my means… “It’s just my help for you and your mother, ma’am.

” – “Thank you, ma’am!” – “Oh, you’re welcome, ma’am. Please come and stay with me! We’re almost at my house.” – “Just across this field, it’s not far.” – ” Just across this field.” – “Back in our hometown, the scenery is… so peaceful, isn’t it?” – “Yes, down there it’s just houses…” – “Here, ma’am, my house is on this side of the road.

” – “Turn here? ” – “Yes.” – “We’re probably almost there, aren’t we?” – “Here, ma’am, this is my house.” – “Oh, so this is your house?” – “Yes. It’s so solidly built! It’s late, so I only managed to buy a little tofu… so let’s have tofu tonight, okay? Having tofu to eat is great. Having tofu to eat is delicious.

You’re so amazing, you built such a beautiful house by yourself in just a few months .” – “Come in, ma’am, come in, it’s spacious. ” Yes, this place is spacious, plenty of room. Please sit here, rest for a while. Then… let me take your things down to the kitchen, and… your bag.

Hey, honey, honey, sit here! Finally, we arrived at Ms. Luyen’s house. I poured out some water. My house was built by myself, and I built it… just… a moderate size, not too big. This is… very comfortable for living alone, everyone. – Spacious. Please, have some! – Thank you. – Please, have some, dear! – It’s so airy and cool in a house like this, isn’t it? – Yes.

The trees… are so cool. Please have some water. – Of course, have some water. Luyen! How amazing you are! – Did you build your own house? – Yes, I built this house myself. – It’s beautiful, Ms. Luyen, you’re so amazing. Were you and your mother tired from the journey? Not too tired, really. “Okay, you two drink some water, then go take a shower, a

nd then I’ll cook rice… and we’ll all eat together, okay?” – “Yes, ma’am. Then… you two drink some water, then you two go take a shower, and I’ll cook rice. Okay, I’ll cook rice, and you two go take a shower! Oh, An… Nhien, you… go take a shower first, then I’ll go downstairs to help Aunt Luyen. Then I’ll shower later, okay ?” – “Then I’ll go shower first!” – “I’ll go first, let Aunt Luyen take An Nhien.

Oh, then, can you help me light the fire?” – “Okay.” – “And I’ll… I’ll go wash the rice. ” – “Light this fire or this one?” – “Oh, the fire is here, sister. Here’s the firewood. The firewood is here, the lighter… ” – “Where’s the lighter?” – “The lighter is here, I’ll go get it.” – “Okay, get it, get the lighter here, I’ll light it for you.

I’ll leave the lighter here, okay? Then you can come into the kitchen and help me.” “It gets dark so quickly this time of year, doesn’t it, sister? We just got back and it’s already getting dark. It’s already getting dark.” – “Luyen, have you finished washing the rice? I’ve already started the fire.

” – “It’s not that big yet? It’s burning. This bean is probably for frying, sister.” – “Frying beans? ” – “What can we make with that zucchini? Soup? Let me peel it for you.” – “Yes, the zucchini will be used for soup, and now I’m going to go… get some more eggs. Can you help me peel the zucchini? The rice is boiling…

now, sister. The rice pot is boiling. Just let me make the eggs for you. ” – “I’ve finished bathing!” – “You’ve finished bathing, dear? Then… sit here, sit here and wait for Auntie and Mom to cook dinner, okay?”

– “Yes, ma’am.” – “Sit and wait for Auntie, Mom and Auntie will cook dinner. ” – “Are these eggs fried with onions, Luyen?” – “Huh? ” – “These eggs are fried with dried onions?” – “Oh yes, ma’am, please peel the dried onions for me.” “This girl looks like it’s about to rain. Luckily I met you this afternoon.

If I hadn’t heard, my mother and I wouldn’t know where to stay tonight. It’s nothing, really. Just stay here with me for a day or two. We’ll figure things out later.” – “I’ll probably have to trouble you… for a few days. Fry some eggs. And, sister, when you went down there to work, what kind of job did you do? I got a job at your company, but…

they scammed me. They didn’t pay me a salary, and then… I was scammed out of my rented room too. They even scammed me out of my car. I’ve lost everything, I have nothing left.” So you went down there and… they scammed you out of everything? – Yes, I went down there and worked for… one day. Then I went in and found out…

I was scammed. Because they even scammed me out of my motorbike, I have nothing left. – Really? This pot of loofah… this soup is boiling, dear. – Boiling already? – Wow, it’s boiling! – What? Can you add some loofah for me? – Yes. – I’m going to make a bowl of loofah soup, sister.

– Yes, I’ll add the loofah! Here, here are the chopsticks. Loofah soup is perfect for this season, isn’t it? It’s hot! – Yes, sister. In this season, only loofah soup is good for cooling down. – Hmm. – It’s been a long time since you’ve had loofah soup, sister? Yes, um, down there… the city, it’s all industrial stuff. Here, it’s all homegrown.

Clean, and the food is guaranteed to be safe, sister. Coming back to our hometown is still the best! – Yes. Everything here is homegrown, clean, and safe. Hmm, down there, we’re always hungry, sometimes we don’t have enough, sometimes we don’t have anything to eat at all. Coming back to our hometown is still the best.

So, you and your mother must be having a hard time down there, right? It’s much harder than back home. Coming back to our hometown is still the best, why live there when it’s so chaotic! Life there is so hard, so chaotic. – Hmm, I think it’s too hard, so… I’ve decided to go back home. The soup is almost ready, it’s cooked.

– Yes, it smells so good! – Yes, yes. – The rice is almost cooked, Luyen. – Yes. What kind of rice is that? It smells so good! It’s rice grown by the locals here, it smells so good! So fragrant, so fragrant rice! – What is this, child? – It’s almost ready, child. It’s almost ready, just wait a little while! The lady is frying eggs.

– Back home, we cook rice over a wood fire so quickly, right? – Yes, it cooks very quickly, it’s hot. – Then you help Mom and Auntie, okay? Hmm, it’s nothing. – No, let me help, dear. Just go sit… wait for Mom and Auntie for a little while. Oh, go help Mom set the bowls out on the table. Oh, right, set the bowls. Then…

help Auntie set the bowls and chopsticks! Here are the bowls and chopsticks, dear. – Okay. – I’ve finished cooking the soup, what are you frying? – Let me fry… the tofu first. Because these eggs cook quickly too. – Okay then… just leave the stove there, let me chop the tofu. You carry the bowls outside for Auntie, okay? – We’ll eat outside today, it’ll be cooler. – Okay.

– I just brought this table out too. – Okay. – Let’s sit outside, it’ll be more airy. – Yes. The wind outside is cooler. That’s right! – I’m done! “It’s ready, honey. Sit and play… sit and play, let me and your mother do a little more… just a little more and it’ll be done. Okay? Let me and your mother fry…

some tofu and some eggs, and then it’ll be ready. Just sit and play, honey! ” – “Luyen, which pan should we use for frying? Let me get it for you. ” – “Oh, please get me the pan I left on the wall.” – “Should we use this one?” – ” Yes, ma’am. Here, the cooking oil. It’s all homegrown food , grown by the farmers here, so it’s very clean and safe.

” – ” Hmm, this fried tofu… it’s delicious. I’ll take this, I’ll fry the eggs later.” – “Hmm. ” – “I probably won’t finish it all.” – “Okay, let’s do it… next batch.” – “Okay, understood, then… ” – “Let me ladle out the soup, okay?” – “Yes, ladle out the soup. The soup has cooled down a bit, let me ladle out the soup.

” Today I picked some loofah gourds, they’ve been growing them nearby, they’re delicious, sister. Loofah… loofah gourds are so fragrant when cooked. – I smelled it very fragrant when I cooked it earlier too. – Yes. They grow them without pesticides, so they’re very fragrant. When the beans are cooked… let me know, so I can bring them out for you. – Okay, in a little while.

– Nine children, sit here and wait for me and your mother for a little while! – Yes, ma’am. – The soup smells so good! – Hmm. – Luyen, the beans are almost ready, can you get me a plate? – Yes, ma’am. Here you go, please put them in here! Okay, wait a little while, children, you must be very hungry, right? Here’s one batch already.

Golden, it’s delicious everyone! Yes, I smell it so fragrant, sister! It’s time for dinner and I’m hungry again. – Frying on a wood-fired stove is so fast, it’s really done! – One batch is already ready, the stove cooks very quickly, sister! – Yes. It’s a wood-fired stove, the fire is hot. Poor mother and daughter! I don’t know what kind of chaotic life t

hat mother and daughter have gone through in that city… I feel so sorry for them! I don’t know how to help them, I can’t do anything bigger than this , I can only help them with simple meals like this. I’m thinking… that this stove will only fit two pots. Currently, I still want to renovate… this stove, so cooking will be a bit difficult, sister. I’ll probably have to renovate it so the smoke can get out.

Cooking will still be difficult. Yes, we’ll have to start the construction first to know… where the repairs need to be done. – One dish is ready, Luyen! – Yes. I’ll wait a little longer. Here, wait a minute, Mom’s finished frying the tofu, Luyen… just fry the eggs and then we’ll be done. – Oh, Lien, you go take a shower, I’ll fry the eggs! – Okay, I still have eggs…

I’ll fry them too, you go take a shower. – Yes, ma’am, please go take a shower. – Okay. An Nhien, are you hungry yet? – Yes, I’m hungry! – Hmm, I’ve finished cutting, there’s only fried eggs here. Wait a minute! We’ll make egg rolls for you and your mother.

Yes, I’m almost done too, ma’am. My eggs are almost ready. – Oh, your fried egg rolls smell delicious! – It’s nothing, ma’am! Yes, they’re almost cooked. Yes! Yes. Yes, ma’am. Oh, please bring them to the table for me, so I can make the dipping sauce.

Wash your hands. Yes, ma’am. – An Nhien must be very hungry, right? – Yes, ma’am. Let me set out the chopsticks. I invite you, ma’am.

It smells so good! I invite you, dear! Wow! Well, I invite you and… An Nhien, eat up, I’ll eat rice. – Yes, ma’am. – Yes, ma’am, I invite you, ma’am, I invite Mom! – Hmm, I invite you too! – Yes, ma’am. You two eat a lot! “Today’s meal isn’t anything special, just fried eggs and fried tofu, nothing fancy.” – “Yes, ma’am.

Eat a lot, both of you!” – “Sister , please have some eggs!” – “Yes, ma’am. You eat, you don’t need to serve me. ” – “Eat, eat a lot, my dear!” – “Yes, ma’am, the rice and… soup are delicious, dear. Thank you for giving my mother and me such a delicious meal; it’s been so long since we’ve had such a good meal.

You’re welcome , ma’am. Then you two must eat a lot! ” – “Is Aunt Luyen’s cooking good, my dear?” – “It’s delicious, Mom!” – “I don’t know if it’s… to your liking?” – “It’s delicious, dear. Home-raised eggs are really delicious, so fragrant. I only raise a few myself.

The weather tonight is so pleasant, isn’t it? So cool. I feel a lot of wind. An Nhien must have been very hungry these past few days, so eat more, my dear, eat until you’re full!” – Yes. – Hmm. It’s delicious! – There’s still rice left, you two can eat more, I’ll serve you some more. – I’m full, I don’t want any more. – Okay.

But, ma’am, since… you gave them that house, how has your life been? – Since I… sold the house, I went to a company to apply for a job. I worked there for a month, but they didn’t pay me. Then I went to a restaurant to wash dishes and pick vegetables. But the salary wasn’t enough… to cover the expenses for my two children.

When the expenses were high, after working for a month without paying, I went to another job at the restaurant, washing dishes. But the money wasn’t enough for my two children. So one day, on my way home from work… I ran into those human traffickers. They even stole my motorbike. “I still have a few dollars left…

I’ll take a bus back to my hometown, because life down there is too chaotic, I can’t stay. I’m going back home, my dear, I have nothing left now. I’ve been working for so long and I’m still coming back with nothing. ” – “And about the time you encountered those human traffickers who tricked you… how long ago was that? ” – “Probably about two weeks ago.

” – “And did they steal your motorbike? Did they do anything else to you or your mother and child?” – Luckily, I was alert, they only stole my motorbike. Now my daughter and I are going back to our hometown with nothing but empty hands. – Oh, poor thing! But never mind, let’s just consider it a loss to save lives.

It’s fortunate that those bad guys did n’t harm you . For the next few days, just stay here with me. After you’re here with me, then… whether you plan to go to work or anything… we’ll think about it later, for now… – I’m bothering you. – No, I’m not bothering you at all.

Just stay here and rest for now, otherwise… you and your daughter must have had a hard time these past few days. – I’ll probably only stay here for a day or two, then… I’ll look for a job to… earn money to prepare for… An Nhien’s upcoming school year. I don’t want to be a burden to you, I think… I’ll only bother you for a day or two.

“After that, I’ll go look for a job, dear.” – “It’s nothing, sister. Just stay here with me! Just stay here with me, and then you can go look for a job. You can leave when you find one.” – “I’m sure I’ll… I’ll look for a job somewhere else. I’m afraid of bothering you if I stay here too long. I went to the neighboring village and…

when I came back, I saw them… harvesting. They’ll probably hire us over there. Because… harvesting is… agricultural products that have to be harvested by the time they ripen on the tree. ” – “Yes, they’re… – Looking for harvesters. Maybe you and your daughter can go over there… ask for… work, and then you can stay at their house.

” – “But I think that job is very hard, sister. Because it requires going out early and coming home late. And you’re bringing An Nhien along like this, is that really okay?” “How about this, sister? You can still work, but if you leave, you’ll leave An Nhien at home. And she’ll be starting school soon. I have my own house now, and I live alone.

How about you just go to work, and then leave An Nhien with me? We can eat whatever we have. Then, when you have free time, you can come back and visit her. What do you think?” – “Because I’m afraid I’ll bother you too much, it’ll be too much trouble for you. Maybe I should just bring her over there and… work and look after her at the same time.

An Nhien is a little older now, you know.” – “It’s okay, sister. Because, remember before? I didn’t have much either, I was also very poor. Back then, you and your daughter helped me out. Now that I have my own house and a stable life, I’ll help you and your daughter in return.” “Just leave the baby at home with me.

We’ll eat whatever we have and do whatever work comes our way. She’s old enough now to help out. Yes, it’s safer to leave her at home. Work is difficult, though. ” – “But I’m not comfortable leaving her at home like that. I’ll still bring her to work with you. ” – “It’s okay, sister. I can take good care of An Nhien.

It’s okay, sister. I live alone anyway. An Nhien isn’t a stranger to me. I consider you and your daughter… like family. I’ll take good care of An Nhien and get her to school. You can rest assured and focus on your work. Besides, it’s close to the school, and she’ll be starting school soon. If you go to work, you won’t be able to take care of her completely.

So, just leave her with me. I’ll take good care of her.” Later, if you have some free time, you can come visit the two of them. – I’m just afraid of bothering you, but… can the child stay here with you? I’m just afraid of bothering you. But if that’s the case, I’ll be very relieved . I ‘ll be at ease knowing An Nhien is with you.

Hmm, I’m also lucky to have found this job. “You go ahead and go to work, and I’ll take care of An Nhien for you. Don’t worry. ” – “Thank you! An Nhien will stay with Aunt Luyen. ” – “Yes, ma’am. An Nhien, you’ll stay with Aunt Luyen for the next few days, okay? ” – “Mom will go to work o

ver there… whenever she’s free… she’ll come back here to be with you and Aunt Luyen. ” – “Yes, ma’am. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of the baby for you. The work is nearby… you don’t have to worry about anything. Just focus on doing your job well. And don’t worry about An Nhien, I’ll take really good care of her for you. If…

you have time, you can come visit… the two of us. You don’t have to worry too much. ” – “Thank you! You’re so kind. An Nhien, stay home with Aunt Luyen and be a good girl!” – “Yes, ma’am.” – You don’t have to be shy, I’m just repaying the kindness you showed me in the past… the help you gave me. Please let the baby stay with me. – Thank you so much.

Luckily, my daughter and I met you, otherwise I wouldn’t know how to manage our lives. – It’s alright, sister. Well, since you helped me, consider this my way of repaying you. You have a kind heart, and now you will be rewarded with good things. This is also my way of repaying the kindness you showed me in the past.

You have a kind heart, so surely God will reward you with good things. It’s the same for me. You were kind enough to help me, so I’m repaying you for what you did for me. Let’s decide this way, okay? – Thank you so much! I feel very reassured leaving An Nhien with you. – Yes, okay… let’s finish cleaning up and then go rest, okay? Okay, honey? – Help me carry… carry the soup dishes. – Yes, ma’am.

– Let’s go to sleep and rest, ma’am. I’ll take them for you. Yes. Let’s rest too, ma’am.

– By the way, Luyen, how long did it take you to build this house? – Well, I built this house in about a week… that’s it, ma’am. – Wow, you’re so good! – Yes. – The house is very beautiful. – Yes, I built this house all by myself, ma’am. – You’re so good, I really admire you. – It’s a long story. I used my meager savings, and I wanted to find a place…

to build a house to live in, ma’am. When I came here, I found this land… quite peaceful, the air is very fresh. So I decided to rent here. And luckily, I met the landlady… they’re kind, ma’am. They leased this land to me, and then they even provided support… bricks and stuff, they… didn’t use them, they gave them to me, sister. – Oh.

– Yes. – That’s great! – Yes, so I… started building. When I had enough materials, I sketched out the house. I didn’t make it big, just something… suitable for my needs. It’s a small, pretty house, with a kitchen, sister. I didn’t build anything big or fancy. – This is quite spacious and comfortable, dear.

– I built it with the intention of keeping it… small and pretty, suitable for my needs, not something big. I also finished building the road… this house isn’t quite perfect yet, sister. – This is… good enough, dear. – Um, and you know what? Do you remember the guy who… helped me when I had an accident? – Oh yes, I do. – Well, he’s very kind, sister. When I…

finished building the house, almost finished except for the roofing, he was so kind. He… he visited me before I had the accident, and then on the day I was roofing it, it rained, so… he was kind enough to help me with the roofing. “Um, the day I was roofing… I was short a few nails. On the way home…

to buy nails, I was lucky enough to meet him. He gave me a ride home; he was so kind. Then, when he saw the roof wasn’t finished… he even came in and helped me with the roofing. Just recently, when the house was finished… he came up here… to check on my health. He even brought fruit, flowers, and fruit as gifts to visit me, you know.

– He’s so kind, isn’t he? – Yes, he’s very kind, you know. – He’s so good. – Congratulations! Good deeds are rewarded. He’s so kind… he’s helped you so much. – Yes, I was lucky to meet him. He helped me a lot, you know. So, in the end, I was able to finish… this house, you know.” – Congratulations! Y

ou have a sturdy house now… much better than mine and my daughter’s. – I had to work very hard, too, sister. Anyway, let’s go rest. Then we’ll have the energy to… work again tomorrow. – Yes, let’s rest, shall we? Yes, ma’am! You lie in the middle. Sister , please help me put up that corner. There’s a nail in the corner… there. – Yes. Here, go into bed.
