Who wasn't welcomed into this world with great expectations?
Maria remembered the time when she was first pregnant with Melinda. Melinda was her first child, and naturally she was overly happy. But it turned out to be a girl, which was a bummer.
In her in-laws' family, the idea that men were superior to women was deeply ingrained. Having a daughter was seen as a letdown, and Maria got quite a few cold shoulders because of it. She took the unfair treatment she got from her in-laws out on her daughter. Maria didn't really like this daughter of hers, and when she had a son later on, her heart was all in for him.
Melinda dropped out of school early, forced to go out and make money to support the family and pay for her brother's schooling. As Melinda made more money outside, she also sent home more, and their living conditions improved. They got used to exploiting their daughter for a better life, without caring about how she was living or how she was making the money.
Maria couldn't bring herself to speak, while Jay said with all the nerve in the world, "She's a girl and an older sister. She's supposed to look after her brother, it's totally normal at where we come from. We're counting on our son to take care of us when we're old, not her."
"Yeah, and what if she died, what would you be counting on then?" Anastasia was furious, "Can you really spend the money she worked so hard to earn without a guilty conscience?"
The club manager also spoke up, "Melinda is your daughter. What you're doing is really heartless. Oh, and Melinda had advanced thirty thousand from us previously. You're her parents, it's time for you to pay it back."
"Why should we pay for her debts?" Maria felt cornered, "What's it got to do with us? Anyway, we won't claim her body today. If you don't compensate us, we'll stay in Riverdale and expose you to the media."
After saying that, Melinda's parents left. They knew they couldn't gain anything today, so they decided to leave.
