Sachiko is pregnant!
Sachiko said, "Husang, love knows no borders. I like you, and you like me; that's enough. Husang, please don't reject me!"
In my grandfather's eyes, coming to Japan to work was already a huge deal. If I were to bring back a Japanese wife, it would surely drive him mad!
Seeing me at a loss for words, Sachiko began to cry. Akiyano Yukinobu punched me and said, "Husang, are you even a man? You slept with my sister and don't want to take responsibility? I misjudged you!"
I had no words to respond.
Keeping it from my family, Sachiko and I held a low-key wedding in the presence of her parents and brother.
There was no ceremony, nor any blessings from my relatives or friends.
We rented a small apartment, and Sachiko treated me very well. She went to work and was busy, yet she took care of my daily needs almost humbly, just like in the movies.
I enjoyed everything she gave me but still didn't know how to face the uncertain tomorrow.
My grandfather was a veteran of the War of Resistance. For many years, he had been sitting in a wheelchair due to injuries. When he learned that I was going to work in Japan, he shook his beard and waved his cane: "If you cross the ocean to fight those little devils and never come back, I'd be happy! But you're going there to be a laborer for those turtle bastards; I absolutely refuse!"
Back then, your great-grandfather and great-grandmother died in a mass grave; they were shot by machine guns and stabbed by rifles. I still have shrapnel from Japanese bombs in my leg! If you dare go, I won't close my eyes even in death; don't kneel before my coffin!"
But in the end, I still came to Japan.
I secretly comforted myself: I'm here to earn money from those little Japanese!
But now, what has this turned into?

Grandfather is seriously ill, and Sachiko insists on coming back with me.
I repeatedly instructed Sachiko: Once we arrive in China, only speak Chinese! Whatever you say or how you say it must depend on my cues!
By the bedside, I introduced her to my weak grandfather: "Grandpa, this is your granddaughter-in-law from Taiwan Province; her name is Xiao Xing..."
Seeing that I hadn't "betrayed" him but instead brought back a beauty from the island—especially one who is pregnant—my grandfather smiled: "I won't wait for your wedding anymore. This bracelet was left by your grandmother when she passed; you should give it to Xiao Xing!"
A delicate jade bracelet trembled as it was handed to me.
This has been passed down through generations; it's said that my great-grandmother was once a maid beside Empress Fucha during the reign of Emperor Qianlong. The empress graciously gifted her the bracelet she wore on her wrist; even back then, it could be considered a national treasure!
Holding the bracelet in my hand felt incredibly heavy. Giving it to a Japanese woman would surely prevent my grandfather from resting peacefully even in death!
Given the current situation, I could only hand it over to Sachiko for my grandfather's peace of mind.
Sachiko, wearing the bracelet, realized that it was no ordinary item. In her excitement, she bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle and said in Japanese, "ありがとう、大切にします!" ("Thank you, I will cherish it!"). My grandfather had trouble hearing, but my aunt's idle cousin perked up at her words. His eyes, which had been fixated on the bracelet, began to scrutinize Sachiko with a lewd and contemplative gaze.
As we stepped out of the hospital room, my cousin approached me. "Hey, your wife is Japanese, right?"
"Don't be ridiculous!" I nearly shouted. "She's Taiwanese; she just speaks Japanese." I didn't want to continue this conversation.
"Heh heh, do you believe I can find evidence?" My cousin's smile revealed a hint of malice as he greedily stared at the bracelet on Sachiko's wrist.
That evening, my cousin insisted on catching up with me. Reluctantly, I agreed to go.
In a small private room at a restaurant, he pushed his phone toward me. The screen lit up, revealing a stunning image of Sachiko in a kimono.
"How do you have a picture of my girlfriend?" I felt a surge of dread. At that moment, this photo could become a deadly bomb that would put my grandfather in jeopardy!
"My dear brother, you've finally shown your true colors!" My cousin grinned wickedly, revealing his yellowed teeth. He took the phone back and zoomed out the image to reveal the corner of the screen displaying four small characters: "Night Ward." "Brother, you're an upright person while I'm just a good-for-nothing who indulges in vice. Let me enlighten you about the main plot of this Japanese Adult Film..."
As he spoke, my back was drenched in sweat, and my mind was filled with the disturbing scenes he described, with Sachiko as the leading lady!
I slapped my cousin across the face. "I'll handle this matter. If you dare to blabber in front of Grandpa, I'll make sure you regret it!"
He covered half his face but continued to smirk. "Brother, you know what I want."
"Not a chance!" I bit back.
"You'll agree," he said smugly.
