Family: the Key Box of the Love

She married at the age of 19
For over 70 years
worked for husband.
set the table,
took care of children
With parents-in-law
their distant relatives and neighbours
Cared for them

Losing job and family
Drifting
drunk people,
beaten and kicked out by husband
Bring a woman
she ate together

She thought love was the best,
but her love was also unequal.
