[My dad’s making a big deal out of nothing. He’s angry and wants to go home, refusing to help us anymore.]
[Wanda and her mom only told the truth because he kept the twenty-cent change when buying oyster sauce and lately the menu hasn’t been good either.]
[But he got offended and said we’re blaming him unfairly. He just quit like that.]
[How can he be so petty at his age? My business is struggling right now, but he doesn’t even try to understand our situation.]
That message was like a rock thrown into calm water, stirring up waves instantly. The first to reply was one of Daniel’s aunts, one of my sisters.
[Damien, seriously? Why are you getting upset over something like this?]
[Your daughter-in-law only said what needed to be said. She’s young and you’re their father, so you should be more understanding.]
[Business is hard these days. Daniel works day and night to keep his factory running. Do you think it’s easy for him?]
[If you, his father, don’t help him, then who will?]
Soon after, my cousin joined in. [Damien, I have to say, what you did wasn’t right. It’s just a small misunderstanding. You shouldn’t take it so seriously.]
