Memories of a 70-year-old woman:
I was always treated as a stepchild by my mother-in-law, whom I married at the age of 14 and grew up in her house. When my breast was full of inflammation and pus and I couldn't move from where I was and couldn't reach for a bite of bread, he said "eat shit" and left, moving the wooden floor with a bang. He went downstairs and said to my wife, "I gave it to him and he ate it." While working in the vineyard, he must not have been able to see me breastfeeding my child behind a log; He was strongly admonishing my wife, "Throw this woman away, I will get you a new bride with a double drum." When my first child got sick and I said "let's take him to the doctor", he said "I raised 6 of them with a doctor?" Neither doctor nor medicine could help my child, whose disease was progressing, and he breathed his last. His words for the evening were "the wind is blowing, let's sow the harvest".
I am the one who cries with every cry, but when my mother-in-law died 10-15 years ago, I did not shed a single tear. During the funeral and burial procedures, all the things that happened to me passed before my eyes like a movie strip. I searched and searched but could not find a good memory.
