Serenity nearly burst into an outrage when Chelsea said that in her face. Still, Serenity had class and did not slam the table in front of Chelsea.
She unhurriedly went behind the cash register and sat down before looking Chelsea in the eye and bombarding her with questions, “Chelsea, you mentioned my sister hit my brother-in-law? Did you witness it? Did my sister start it? Did my brother-in-law fight back? How bad was he beaten? Was he hospitalized?”
Chelsea replied shamelessly, “So what if Hank started it? Your sister ought to be taught a lesson, and Hank wanted to discipline her the other day. However, he didn’t want to make your sister look bad since you came over with your husband. We even talked him out of punishing your sister.
“Any man would’ve slapped their wives for all the things your sister had done. Your sister deserved a beating for her mistakes. She had the audacity to hit Hank back until he was black and blue. He couldn’t bring himself to go home.
“Serenity, you might be younger than your sister, but you’re married and can stand on your own. Since you’re Liberty’s family, we must discuss the matter with you. You should get your sister to come to our place and apologize to Hank, bearing gifts. She should also have it in writing that she’ll never raise a hand against Hank before taking him home.”
Chelsea’s statement was something else. It was a real eye-opener for Serenity and Jasmine.
Serenity learned that Chelsea was ridiculous when her sister confided in her. Chelsea’s absurdity right now seemed to take the cake.
She was about to blow up.
The mother and daughter did not give Serenity a chance to speak as Mrs. Brown took over right after Chelsea was done talking. “Serenity, Chelsea is fair to say that. Show me a family whose wife doesn’t go to work or cook.
“Hank has to work, and his schedule can be busy too. After going full steam on work in the morning, he comes home to no lunch on the table. He was expected to make his own lunch too. It’s like he’s single and has no wife.
“Hank pays for the mortgage and household expenses while your sister sits around the house and does nothing except caring for the child. Sonny is an easy kid. Your sister fools around all day at home, yet she doesn’t know how lucky she is. She even fought with Hank.
