Chapter 8 Planning a Brighter Future
At Ye Ye’s funeral, I started to cry when I saw his photograph and I could not stop the tears. No one else was crying. My tears were annoying Niang. What are you crying about? she suddenly whispered angrily.
Then she turned to Father. "I do think Adeline is getting uglier as she grows older. Just look at her"
We returned to the house after the fiineral,and Niang called me into the living room.She wore an expensive black suit. She stared at my old school uniform. I felt small and plain."Sit down, Adeline" she said in English. I waited to hear what she had to say.
