Some People Take Vengeance Like Serpents

Example from life: Memories of a 70-year-old woman:

I was an 8-year-old child in a village in the Aegean in the 1940s. Next to our house is my other uncle's house, to the left of that is my youngest uncle's house, and in front of our house is my middle uncle's house. We made up almost a quarter of the village, with my aunt's house across the village square, my uncle's and grandfather's house near the stream, and 4-5 aunts' houses scattered throughout the village. My father was the elder of everyone, engaged in business, met with high-ranking officials, was an angry perfectionist, and a rule-goer. If he saw someone with his hands tied around his waist, he had them straightened. All his siblings lived as he said. He had also beaten and silenced our unrelated neighbor behind our house once. When my father got sick when I was 10 years old, he pelted our house with stones.

When my sick father went out, the whole family trampled him under their feet. When my pregnant mother realized that she could not save my father, she called for help to my uncle, who lived next door, but the uncle's wife, my aunt, had locked the door. The reason is; To prevent your uncle from getting into trouble with his 6 children. The uncle, who broke the door lock with his gun on the wall, came to the rescue and shot and saved my father, but one of the people on the other side was blinded by pellets and my uncle went to prison. Meanwhile, when the baby in my mother's womb fell, they supposedly became equal. Over the past 40 years, elders have died one by one. The new two generations grew up, my uncle's 6 children, who took up the gun, grew up and went to other cities to work in various professions. My uncle got old, my father died. My uncle Gunli's youngest daughter had finished high school and was getting ready for university. There were many young men in the village who wanted the most educated and beautiful daughter of my uncle (who was also the village headman).

In our time in the villages, girls were married for bride price, and getting married was an expensive business for young men. “Kidnapping a girl, abducting her, keeping a girl away” meant making marriage cheaper. Even though my uncle went to the market every Monday, the neighbor woman called his daughter to her house with the lie of "I bought a beautiful fabric, let me show you", locked her up with a boy and forced her to marry him, and the helpless girl even had to run away from the village that day. That woman was the wife of the man who seemed ridiculous to her. 30-40 s Next year she avenged her husband. By wasting another innocent girl.
