The Pain Of The Poor - Episode 19
Thank you all for your comments I love you all (kisses )
It's been two weeks now since my stepmother was sent out of the house,
and now everything has returned back to normal just as it was 3 years ago before she came in to our lives if not better than before, because now everyone has leant one or two things and Grandpa and Grandma were not left out for they too have also accepted their fault in the whole thing and have promised never to interfere in father and mother's marriage ever again.
Now with everything back to normal, it's time to think of the way foreword. And this started with a family meeting, were father made it known that although he doesn't want to have anything to do with my stepmother again, but he will remain responsible for her up keep and that of her children as well, and mother suggested that they can also fed from the farm produce since there was more than enough to be eaten there. But this can only happen when their both are home, and if by an chance their not around when she comes, she must not enter in to the house for anything at all.
And everyone agreed to that . After the meeting, my stepmother comes to the farm to collect food stuff and money weekly.
EIGHT MONTHS LATER,
She gave birth to her third child which happened to be a boy, so she now has two boys and a girl, and after the baby was born, normally she was to remain in door for a period of 3 months before she takes the baby out or go out herself, so dad had to do it (taking of food stuff and money weekly for her)

. After the 3 months she resumed back her coming to the house to get food stuff and money for weekly up keep and this went on till one day she came to the house and mother and father were not around because that day happened to be one of the popular market day in Igbo land called EKE MARKET DAY which was the day people in the village make big sells in the big market and that day is the day big men and women from around the village comes to buy their goods from traders and mother and father happened to be part of those traders who gets do big sells on that day.
As I saw her come in to the compound I ran to her and told her that nether father nor mother was a home and she answered saying yes I know that, and I wasn't expecting them to be around so now come and watch me as I cut vegetables and collect some potatoes before you start telling them again that I took what I didn't see.
So I went with her to the farm across the street to pick some potatoes and vegetables and after that we went back in to the house she told me she wanted water to drink which I went in to the hut and Fetch from mother's water pot for her after she drank the water she gave me a nylon bag and asked me to help her pack the tubers and vegetables while she goes in to drop the cup. Few minutes later she came out and asked me and my brother to go inside but mama we are still playing I said but she only gave me this cold look and shouted at me that we should get in at once.
