My husband's sister chop my shop money, I still buy her daughter school bag

1998. My husband sister Adaeze come stay with us for Agege. She say na small time, she dey find work. Two months she dey inside my house, she no buy salt.

Then money start to miss. Small small. I think na my head. One night I count my wrapper money, ₦40,000, morning time na ₦28,000. I no talk. I just watch.

I see her hand inside my bag one evening. She see me. She no run. She just stand dere. I ask her why. She say, "Sister, na hunger." I swear I nearly slap her. But I look her face. Her daughter, my niece, na my blood. I no fit throw dem out for street.

I no tell my husband. Till today I never tell am. I just start to keep my money for bank. Every month I still send small something for that girl school fees. Adaeze never know say I know. God dey see. Na only God.
