The Whole Village Was Stunned When a Local Man Returned Home with a Woman — But Soon, a Terrible Secret About His New Wife Was Revealed 😱😢
For years, he had been working in the city, and no one in the village had heard much from him. Occasionally, his parents would receive small amounts of money and brief letters from their son.
Then one day, he returned — not alone, but with his new wife.
His elderly parents were overjoyed: their only son had finally started a family. They eagerly awaited meeting their daughter-in-law… until they saw her.
She stood beside their son, her entire face wrapped in thick bandages, with only her eyes visible. 😢
His mother pressed her hand to her chest in shock.
“Son… what happened to her?”
But he replied gently, “Don’t ask, Mom. Just accept her as my wife.”
From that day, a quiet settled over the house. The new daughter-in-law rarely went outside, avoided people, and spoke only to her husband when they were alone.
Neighbors whispered, speculated, and spread rumors. Some claimed she was a criminal, others a witch. His parents were also uneasy. Every night, they could hear her quietly crying behind closed doors while their son whispered comforting words to her.
One night, unable to bear it any longer, they quietly peeked into the couple’s room, which was always locked after 11 p.m.
The daughter-in-law was sitting in front of a mirror, carefully removing the bandages from her face. That’s when the parents saw what she had been hiding all this time 😱😲
Under the dim lamp light, it became clear — her entire face was covered in deep burns and scars.
The mother couldn’t hold back a scream.
Their son woke immediately, realizing everything had been revealed.
“Yes…” he said softly. “Now you know the truth.”
He explained that several years ago, during a terrible fire in the city, this woman had rescued him from a burning dormitory. She had saved his life but was badly burned herself, almost unrecognizable.
“I couldn’t leave her,” he said, looking at his parents. “I fell in love not with her face, but with her heart.”
Hearing this, his mother began to cry and approached her daughter-in-law. She hugged her gently, as if afraid to hurt her.
The next morning, the neighbors began whispering again — but this time, with admiration and respect.
