My uncle beat someone so badly that they were injured, and our family had no money to pay compensation. So my grandfather traded my eldest aunt for her bride price and paid it to the victim.
When my uncle got married, my grandfather gave my mother away because he couldn't afford the bride price.
This time, my uncle's chubby little boy insists on going to an expensive bilingual private school.
The family can't afford the tuition, but my grandfather has no unmarried children left.
So he set his sights on me.
That day, I hurried back to celebrate my grandfather's birthday.
But I found the entrance to the house decked out in festive decorations, with a big red double-happiness character hanging there.
No matter how I looked at it, those decorations didn't fit a birthday banquet.
