She unhurriedly went behind the cash register and sat down befor e looking Chelsea in the eye and bombarding her with questions, * Chelsea , you mentioned my sister hit my brother—in— law? Did you witness it? Did my sister start it? Did my brother—in— law fight back? How bad was he beaten? Was he hospitalized?” C helsea replied shamelessly, “So what if Hank started it? Your sister ought to be taught a lesson, and Hank want ed to discipline her the other day. However, he didn’t want to make your sister look bad since you came over with your husband. We even talked him out of punishing your sister. “Any man would've s! apped their wives for all the things your sister had done. Your siste r deserved a beating for her mistakes. She had the audacity to hit Hank back until he was black and blue. He couldn't bring himself t 0 go home.

You should get your sister to come to our place and apologize to Hank, bearing gifts. She should also have it in writing that she'll never raise a hand against Hank before taking him home.” Chelsea's statement was something else. It was a real eye — opener for Serenity and Jasmine.
Serenity learned that Chelsea was ridiculous when her sister confi ded in her. Chelsea's absurdity right now seemed to take the cake She was about to blow up.
The mother and daughter did not give Serenity a chance to speak as Mrs. Brown took over right after Chelsea was done talking. “Ser enity, Chelsea is fair to say that. Show me a family whose wife doesn't go to work or cook.
“Hank has to work, and his schedule can be busy too. After going f ull steam on work in the morning, he comes home to no lunch on the table. He was expected to make his own lunch too . It's like he's single and has no wife.
“Hank pays for the mortgage and household expenses while your sister sits around the house and does nothing except caring for the child. Sonny is an easy kid. Your sister fools around all day at home, yet she doesn't know how lucky she is. She even fou ght with Hank.
“It's hard enough that Hank is under a lot of pressure. It's fine if sh e can't help with taking the burden off him, but she refuses to cook and leaves Hank hungry. Of course, Hank's going to be angry. An ybody will be, if they were in his place. Going halves was the last resort. Your sister squande rs money. She fiddled away over a thousand bucks in one day. Do es she think Hank's money grows on trees? “For a family of three , fifty bucks for groceries is good enough, your sister woul d only need a thousand and five hundred dollars a |

“Your sister refuses to go to work because she wants to take care of the child. She insists Hank pay for her upkeep. Is she Hank's da ughter? Why should Hank be her bread and butter? Fine, so Hank pays for her living expenses, but she can'te ven attend to Hank's needs or cook for him. Does that look like a wife to you? “We have been nothing but kind and patient with your sister. Do you think anybody else would be tolerant toward your si ster? They would've divorced her and kicked your sister out.” Mrs. Brown's words siung harder than Chelsea's.
Jasmine picked up a broom, pretending to sweep around the plac e. In fact, she was waiting to get a cue from her best friend to swe ep the absurd mother and daughter out of here.
They were all women here. They should be supporting one anothe rinstead of giving each other a hard time.
Boiling with rage, Serenity scowled and blurted coldly,” Mrs. Brown , do you think it's easy caring for a child since you have experienc e caring for Chelsea's kids? Do you think you can work with a two—year—old in tow? “Chelsea has three children, but you and Mr. Brown are hands— on with the kids. All she did was pop the babies out. My sister gav € you a grandson that bore your last name, but you wouldn't help out as grandparents. It's funny that you compare Chelsea with my sister.
