Yes, that was sort of weird, how those former friends came to visit us at our other house years later, and they were full of anti-missionary jokes, which was quite alarming. Very bad jokes typical of a low-level type of peasant, to be sure. But how to address that issue would seem a bit clunky, given that they are openly mocking and deriding us. I would rather let others defend us, and not have to do it all myself. But we will probably not get much help from those other brats. They are so worried about defending their own mother, that there is nothing further to be expected from them.
