Her Husband Sold Her for Money — But Her Revenge Shocked the World

He was from the northern part of the country. His father had many wives, and Chris’s mother was the sixth wife. Growing up in such a crowded family had not been easy for him, especially the fact that his father wasn’t of any help to them. But he was always hardworking and respectful. One day, Sarah fell down while teaching in her classroom.

She slipped on the dusty floor and her books scattered everywhere. Chris, who was nearby, quickly rushed to help her. He stretched out his hand, lifted her up, and helped her pick her books. From that day, they began to walk together, talk together, and even sit together in the evenings under the mango tree near the school. Soon, they fell in love.

The other corpus noticed and started teasing them, but they didn’t mind. Sarah and Chris dreamed about the future. They talked about the kind of house they would live in and the children they would have. But when rumors of their relationship reached their families, it was not easy. Chief Samuel, Sarah’s father, was not happy.

He wanted his daughter to marry a rich man who would provide comfort and security. He often said, “Sarah, love is sweet, but money is important, too. You cannot feed children with only love.” But Sarah only smiled and told him, “Papa, Chris loves me. I love him, too. We will struggle together and make a way.

” After a year of courtship, Chris called his uncles and some elders for the introduction ceremony. Sarah’s family was surprised at how serious he was. Many neighbors whispered that the marriage would not last because they were both poor. But Sarah and Chris ignored them. They got married in a small but joyful ceremony.

Married life was not easy for them at all. Chris worked as a teacher in a small village school, but his salary was very poor. To add to it, he also did menial jobs like farming for people and carrying loads just to make extra money. Sarah also taught in another village school, but her own salary was also small.

Their combined earnings could hardly buy three square meals. Some days they went to bed hungry, but they still laughed, prayed, and encouraged each other. One hot afternoon, Chris returned home from school tired and sweaty. He expected to meet Sarah tired as well, but instead she ran to him with excitement. She hugged him tightly and shouted, “Chris, our story has changed.

” Chris was confused. He looked at her face trying to understand. “What happened, Sarah?” he asked. Sarah smiled widely and said, “Lisa, my old friend, helped me get a job.” “A big job in the city. I am going to be a secretary to a CEO of one of the biggest companies. My salary is 500,000 naira every month.

Chris could not believe his ears. What? 500,000? He repeated. Sarah nodded with tears of joy in her eyes. Chris lifted her high in the air like a baby, laughing loudly. They both danced around their small house, praising God and thanking Lisa for the help. That night, they brought out all their savings. Instead of using the money to buy food as usual, they went to the market the next day to buy new clothes, shoes, and a handbag for Sarah to start her new work with.

Within one week, Sarah began her new job in the city. Everyone in the company welcomed her warmly, including her boss. The office was clean with air conditioners and computers, very different from the dusty classroom she was used to. She worked hard and proved herself. In only 3 months, Sarah had saved enough to rent a small house in the city.

She and Chris moved in together so that she would not spend too much money on transport. And so Chris could also start searching for a better job in the city. Life finally seemed sweet. They bought small furniture, a bed, and even a small television. For the first time in their marriage, they could eat three square meals without worry.
