Chapter 126

• "Mom, it's not what you think. There are many things you don't understand. I have time to explain to you."
• "You don't have to explain. Zama has served you for many years. Could Zama lie to me? You have to break up with the girl she doesn't like as soon as possible. Also, I heard that the woman had a son. Samuel, the Green family is not short of money, but I don't want to raise children for others. Joseph is Vincent's son. If you take someone else's son into our family, what will you do with your property in the future? If you give too little, he will speak ill of you. If you give too much, I will not be happy. After all, he is not a child of the Green family. You're not young. Why are you still so impetuous? I thought you were reasonable. What happened? I heard Zama say that woman is very lewd, isn't she? You have to have a good wife. You have to listen to me."
• Mrs. Green didn't give Samuel a chance to explain.
