Chapter 168 Miss Wilson Told Them The Truth

• Josh nodded and said, "oh we were beaten that day. Yesterday when searching your remains I told her that she is better because she has enjoyed her daughter's success for quite a while. None of my children have succeeded in anything. They are reaping what I sow back then. But you know what cousin, today even if I die. I will die a happy man. I feel like a huge rock has been lifted off my shoulder just by seeing you. It has been eating me, every now and then I wake up screaming, holding the jersey that was full of blood. Even though it was buried the day we found it, I still see myself holding it in my hands. We were so childish and stupid back then. Yes, I agree that this is our mother but we should have retaliated when she sent us to do horrible things to you. I am not saying this because you have given birth to children who have become rich. You will probably think that I have seen an opportunity but I am saying it because I realized long time back that we were very wrong to do what we did to you. We do not see eye to eye with this woman ever since the day you left. When we lost you, a part of us was also lost in the process. We quarrel every day, the same words she used to call you with, are the words she now calls us. We are only living under the same roof because we are tolerating each other and we have no any other place to go to. Sometimes we sleep over the old man's house. The one that used to demand that you are the only person who should deliver what he has ordered. She kicks us out of her house when she is too angry and we find ourselves with no place to sleep in. You were after all the only person in this house that was able to do farming. She always compare our work with how you used to do things. And because of your produce, we were able to survive. Oh it has been very hard without you. But all in all, my cousin I am very sorry for how we treated you back then. And I am very happy that i have been given a chance to speak my heart out."
• Cousin Valencia also said, "I am also very very sorry and I pray that you find it in your heart to forgive us."
• A drunk man came over and said, "speak for yourselves. I am nowhere near being sorry, you s**t! We went from being poor to being the most poorest in the village. We had to lick Valencia's husband's feet just to have food on the table. We suffered because of you. I am not sorry. All I can say is go to hell! Or wherever you are coming from. Mom, have you gone that old to tolerate such nonsense from this vulture? Why aren't you kicking her out of your house? Why have you welcomed her in our house? You should have kicked her out the moment you saw her coming out of the car."
