The bitter confession of a young wife who discovered her husband was selling 'white goods' during confinement
(Baonghean.vn) - I was holding my baby when I saw the police come to search the house. At first, I thought it was related to my husband's homemade gun. But when I brought the clothes to the police station for my husband, I knew that was not the truth.
Cheating on wife, selling car and drug trafficking
In mid-March, the weather suddenly turned cold, but 27-year-old woman Luong Thi Kieu V. (residing in Kim Son town, Que Phong district) still decided to take her 9-month-old child to the provincial court.
Her husband, defendant Vi Van Ngoc (28 years old), is being tried for the crime.Illegal drug traffickingAccording to the young woman, she knew Ngoc from the days when she cycled down to Kim Son town to study. The love affair between the couple of the same age was approved by both sides, so they soon moved in together. Thanks to the help of both sides of the family, the young couple was able to build a small house to settle down.

“Every day I do housework, raise children, do odd jobs around the house while he does all kinds of jobs. Sometimes he works as scaffolding for construction sites, sometimes he goes to work. We have lived together for more than 5 years, and I have never seen anything unusual from him. Until I gave birth to my second child, and while I was in confinement, the police came to my house to search. At that time, they probably saw that I had just given birth and did not want to hurt my feelings, so they only talked about searching for homemade guns and bullets. Before leaving, they told me to bring some clothes for my husband. Hearing what they said, I took my child and left it with the neighbor so I could go see my husband. Only then did I know that my husband was arrested for drug-related crimes. At that time, the world seemed to collapse for me,” Ms. V. choked up.
One died in detention, the other in prison
Inside the courtroom, Vi Van Ngoc admitted his crime related to drug trafficking to the panel of judges. According to Ngoc's testimony, because they knew each other before, the defendant sold drugs to a man named Vu Van Thanh (born in 1962, residing in Kim Son district, Ninh Binh province).
Specifically, on August 22, 2020, Thanh called Ngoc to order 50 million VND worth of drugs for his own use. To have drugs to sell to customers, Ngoc tried to contact and buy from a Mong man. Ngoc bought 2 packages of drugs (104.51 grams) for 25 million VND, then sold them to Thanh for nearly double the price, 47 million VND.

After buying drugs from Ngoc, early in the morning of August 27, Thanh took a bus to Ninh Binh. When the bus reached Truong Banh intersection (in Tien Phong commune, Que Phong district), the police stopped the bus, searched it, and discovered 2 packages of drugs in Thanh's bag. Based on Vu Van Thanh's testimony, the same day the investigation agency issued an emergency detention order for Vi Van Ngoc. An emergency search of Ngoc's residence confiscated 1 homemade gun and 10 homemade bullets.
At the trial, the husband's testimony that he hid from his wife and tricked her into selling his motorbike to buy drugs made Ms. V. sad. "I'm very sad and depressed. Since he was arrested, I've been depressed and hopeless, unable to think of the reason why my husband was so indulgent. I'm angry with my husband, but I also feel sorry for my two young children. Especially when my 5-year-old eldest child keeps asking, "Where are you going, Dad?" Every time like that, I can only lie to my children. Today, I only brought my little child down for him to see. I hope he will correct his mistakes, my children and I will always wait for him to come back," Ms. V. cried.
In his final words, defendant Ngoc choked up when mentioning his wife and two young children. He asked the court to consider a lenient sentence so that he could return home soon to make up for his wife and children. For the crime of illegal drug trafficking, the panel sentenced Vi Van Ngoc to 16 years in prison. For Ngoc's act of possessing a hunting rifle and 10 homemade shotgun pellets, the authorities imposed an administrative penalty.
Her husband went to prison, the young wife could only hug her small child and watch helplessly. So, from now until many years later, she will have to be both father and mother, take care of the family, and raise two young children.
