Leave
“Don’t expect my brother to raise it.”
Then my husband’s phone rang–it was his father. His furious voice seemed to pierce through the phone, reaching everyone’s ears.
My mother–in–law, guilty, didn’t dare answer.
After the call, my husband’s face darkened. Seeing this, the relatives left.
We stayed in the hospital for a few days and were soon discharged. When we got home, we found Aunt Lydia blocking the door.
“This shameless woman gave birth to a bastard. She can’t enter the Harper Family’s
home.”
My husband quickly tried to pull Aunt Lydia aside.
“Aunt Lydia, let’s go inside and talk.”
“Standing outside isn’t good. Plus, Phoebe can’t be in the wind.”
Aunt Lydia snatched the keys, opened the door, and pushed me inside. Then she raised
her voice:
“My brother worked hard abroad, and this shameless woman hooked up with a wild man and gave birth to a bastard.“”
My father–in–law went abroad with villagers to work, aiming to pay off loans early. Three years abroad could earn half a million, with no return allowed.
Many neighbors gathered to watch the drama.
Aunt Lydia: “Tell me, should I let her into our home?”
Nosy Mrs. King immediately spoke up.
“No wonder we haven’t seen Declan’s mom in months. She was hiding to give birth.”
