Sniffling, Sister-in-law Luo continued, "Every time my son's uncles come to make trouble at home, saying I'm the jinx that killed my husband, it feels like there's a knife gouging out my heart. We were so good together, I would rather die myself than have him die! And my son, do you know what my mother-in-law tells him? She says, 'Your mother is a jinx, she killed your father, and you are next!' Seventh Sister, we are both mothers; how could she be so cruel as to snatch my son away from me?"
The more Sister-in-law Luo spoke, the more agitated she became, until she finally squatted on the ground, clutching her head and weeping bitterly.
She had never spoken of these things to anyone before; had not today's incident with Da Qiangzi occurred, everyone would probably still see her as the shrew who spoke her mind without restraint.
Aunt Chen and Fifth Sister Bai exchanged glances, biting their lips and shedding tears.
