Inside, there was not a sound.
Emma Smith knew that Mrs.Smith was still angry, and she immediately said: "Mom, please, let me in to talk."
"How can you still come here? Do you even know what shame is?" Mrs.Smith said indignantly, "Our Smith family doesn't have a daughter like you!"
Emma never expected that Mrs.Smith would say such words this time!
Mrs.Smith was a high school teacher, teaching Chinese literature. However, she had also been the school's counselor for some time. She had a strong personality, which led to frequent quarrels with her husband. Later, when Cynthia Smith joined the family, she and Mrs.Smith often fought. Emma didn't like Cynthia's competitive nature, perhaps she was rebelling against her mother's character.
Because they took in Tommy, her mother even drove her out of the house. No matter how hard she tried to mend their relationship over the years, there was no solution.
"Mom, if I did something wrong, just scold me. Let me in, please!"
