It worried me a lot. Because whenever I stepped out with her, people called her names. I was worried. People even told me to give birth to another child because this one is not regarded as human. She is useless. So I should have another child quickly. Many people said hurtful and unpleasant things to me. I was troubled, but I knew this was what God gave me, so I had to take good care of her.
