He Had Bought Himself a Wife

There was a backyard and there was a simple kitchen, restroom, shower area, and a woodshed.

There was also a short hut made of mud several meters from the house where the man reared two cows, one large and one small.

It was already 7 PM and the sky had darkened and the surrounding area was shrouded in complete darkness.

The man took out a key, unlocked the door, and the wooden door opened with a creak.

He walked toward the left side of the door and felt for a string on the wall. He pulled down on it and soon, a light bulb on the ceiling turned on. It was a filament lamp with only 15 watts, so it could only give off a dim, yellow glow.

This village had only started to have electricity two years ago. The villagers were all very poor and thus, they used lights with the lowest voltages in order to save electricity.
