Confrontation at the Village Chief's Compound
Grandma Ingrid let out a sigh, her voice carrying a hint of exhaustion, as she responded, "He's right. Now that we have confirmed everything that we needed to do on our own it's time we seek the village chief's support and assistance. It will bring us the much-needed peace of mind, knowing that we have the backing of the chief."
As Grandma Ingrid finished speaking, her gaze briefly fixed on me before shifting elsewhere. I couldn't decipher what thoughts occupied her mind at that moment. Nevertheless, I resolved to have a private conversation with her later, to unravel whatever nonsense was swirling in her head. It was evident that concealing the fact that she had already engaged in 'kushi' with me would only lead to trouble if it surfaced on its own.
