Happy Family
The man named Bành Thuận married at the age of 24 after a matchmaking matchmaking event. Although they didn’t have time to know each other romantically, the couple’s relationship was still very good. After many years of living together, they still did not have a child, but Bành Thuận loved his wife dearly and never thought about divorce. However, his wife often lamented that she could not give him a cute baby boy, which was a great pity.
Six years later, Bành Thuận’s elderly mother unexpectedly brought home a one-month-old baby girl. She said it was a abandoned child found on the street and asked the couple to take good care of her. Since the baby girl’s arrival, Bành Thuận was very happy and thought for two days before naming her Bành Anh.
The arrival of Bành Anh filled Bành Thuận’s family with laughter. Especially when his daughter began to talk and call him dad, he felt even happier and was more motivated to work hard. Although the family was not well-off, the couple always loved each other and tried to provide the best life for their child.
However, when their daughter entered her rebellious teenage years, she became disobedient and often argued with Bành Thuận and his wife.
Her studies declined. Bành Thuận’s wife unexpectedly passed away from cancer when their daughter was 14 years old. Feeling sorry for his daughter who had lost her mother, Bành Thuận indulged her and lacked strictness. This made their daughter become more mischievous. At its peak, she skipped school, which angered her father, leading to a heated argument that even the neighbors had to intervene. At that moment, Bành Anh felt that everyone was criticizing her along with her father, so she angrily ran outside.
By evening, when their daughter had not returned, a neighbor aunt came to comfort and talk to Bành Thuận. They talked for a long time, and the aunt suddenly mentioned the idea of adopting Bành Anh. Unexpectedly, at that moment, Bành Anh’s voice suddenly rang out from behind: “Dad, am I really not your biological daughter?” Seeing Bành Anh crying with red eyes, Bành Thuận was heartbroken and said: “Why are you concerned about this? No matter what, you are still my biological daughter, and that will never change!”
From that day on, Bành Anh suddenly became more obedient and sensible, and she also became very sensitive. After graduating from middle school, she decided to drop out and work to ease her father’s financial burden. She went to the city to work with relatives. But not long after, the family could no longer contact her. Bành Thuận, unable to find her, reported to the police.
Father Bành Thuận searched for his daughter for three years and finally received good news from the police.
Through this, he learned that his daughter had been kidnapped and taken to the mountainous region of Sichuan. On the day the two reunited, Bành Thuận was shocked to find that his daughter defended her kidnapper. She cried and told the police: “Don’t arrest my husband and mother-in-law. I voluntarily stayed here. They did nothing wrong.” As soon as this was said, Bành Thuận was immediately stunned, and the police present were also very astonished.
Bành Thuận worried that his daughter was too scared to speak the truth, so he quickly comforted her: “My dear daughter, don’t be afraid. Dad and the police are here; they won’t dare to hurt you.” Bành Anh was still sobbing and explaining: “Dad, I really voluntarily stayed here…”.
When interrogated by the police, Bành Anh recounted exactly what had happened that year. Specifically, Bành Anh was taken by a relative to work as a waitress at a hotpot restaurant. However, the restaurant’s business was not good, so employees were alternately cut from their working days. At that time, a colleague asked Bành Anh if she wanted to go back to her hometown in Sichuan to play. Bành Anh agreed.
After dinner, this colleague unexpectedly sold Bành Anh to the Liu family for 30,000 yuan (over 105 million VND). Bành Anh was terrified and cried out wanting to go home. Liu Zhi’s mother said she could leave, but needed to pay them back 30,000 yuan. Bành Anh thought about calling her dad but realized that farming was hard work, and her family could not save 3,000 yuan in a year.
Moreover, Liu Zhi gently said: “If you agree to stay at my house, I will definitely treat you well; I won’t force you to do anything. If you ever want to leave, I will let you go to find your family and bring the ransom back.” Liu Zhi had dark skin, small eyes, was tall and handsome, and just in his twenties. Bành Anh didn’t dislike him, so she agreed to stay.
Liu Zhi and his mother treated Bành Anh very well, so she was willing to stay and have a child with him. Now, Bành Anh’s child is over a year old, and she lives very happily and has no desire to leave.
The case later sentenced the colleague who deceived and sold Bành Anh to eight years in prison and fined her 90,000 yuan. The Liu family was supposed to receive a sentence of nearly three years in prison, but Bành Anh repeatedly pleaded, assuring that they had never beaten or forced her, and she was willing to stay. In the end, the police accepted that the Liu family only needed local education.
