Tales from my mom (3) Under fake smiles
It's hard to tell a good person from an evil person. If the issues of the heart were not disclosed, I think people would be walking in light. If you would only know what your neighbor thinks about you, life would be easier.
In this scene mom tell me of an extended family in their neighborhood, This man had lost his wife, but all his sons were married. One of the sons had married a woman from the iteso and this woman, now daughter- in -law was in charge of the family welfare since her mother-in-law had passed on. She could help serve even her father -in -law .
She was a good wife to her husband, hard-working and deligent. She did all her work very well, welcomed visitors with a smile, but she carried hatred behind every smile.
One day she served her father-in-law food as usual, when he ate on the food immediately he begun vomiting! What had been of him?! Could it be that his daughter-in-law poisoned him? The people who were around said they felt a stench of poison as the old man was vomiting and it's possible that the food was poisoned.
It must be that the young woman had always been sailing under false colours. The old man had vomited to death. Roumers spread that the plot to kill the old man was due to the land.
Indeed greed is the cause of evil, many lives are wasted for greed.
