Letter #81

2 May 1965

pp.338-342

TSU starts the letter by saying that his daughter, Bak Li, is bringing shame to him

Weng Khim affairs left a scar on TSU’s heart which will never heal

two week ago, BL woke up ill and did not appear for breakfast

(Seems like Bak Li is pregnant b4 getting married with Surasak)

ME was tired of taking care of BL

BL was more than 2 months pregnant

TSU had no intention to scold the girl because the neighbor would hear them

TSU and BL talked

TSU asked if the boy knew she was pregnant which she replied no

TSU told her to go tell him and tell him back what he said

(IDK man is so confusing like she shook her head but Surasak knows huh imma assume he knows whatever)

Surasak did not tell BL to abort the kid but he doesnt have enough money to marry her

BL doesnt understand why Surasak cant marry her even tho he makes 2 thousand baht a month

TSU said she is spoil and extravagant so that wont be enough for her

Surasak is stingy

ME doesnt want to talk abt it because she is too busy worrying that the neighbor would hear abt it

AB know abt it from Meng Chu and bam bam AB to the rescue

She came in and told TSU to pay for the wedding and get over it

She also told Bak Li that she has been a bit of a fool but thats okay

and so they agree to wed BL

(Im a bit confuse at this part where he says that Surasak set a price for his daughter to high and that Surasak said he cant be a married man in his sister house. HUH ? so im guessing TSU bought them a house? i dun know ahhh so nhenhai) (okay so i read further and yes he bought them a house)

anyway they had a chinese wedding and it was quiet with four elder and abt 50 guest

Surasak offer to pay for the wedding food which was horrible btw yeah because he is stingy

TSU admits that BL and ME shares the bloodline since both mother and daughter made their wedding possible by showing their affection.

TSU agrees with AB that Surasak might have not been in love with BL and she mayb better off without him

When Chui Kim found out abt BL and Surasak and she was furious

She used to be close with BL

CK scold her sister saying that its disgraceful that Papa has to buy her husband and a house

BL strike back with the “But u were happy to get everything when u marry Seng Huat“

CK says that BL doesnt knw how to do any chores cz ME take cares of everything so how is she gonna live with Surasak

BL said shes going to get a girl which would be unlikey cz Surasak would say no

CK said that BL gonna have to live with her mother in law which BL says it sounds fine

but then after less than a month Surasak mom move into the house with the couple

BL complain to her mom abt how dirty her mother in law is and how she never uses soap

TSU’s gonna be a grand pa soon altho he wish it was Rose’s children instead of Bak Li (I’m assumig Rose is Weng Khim wife)
