After the burial of the spouse, the lady left for her maternal home because there was nobody who could construct her a house and take care of her. Having been left alone after the death of my family members, I decided to bring back the sister-in-law to keep me company in the lonely home. That was the reason for constructing her a house. Besides that, I extended my house which was very small and could therefore not accommodate my family well. Finally, i purchased some livestock to fill the herd my dad left."
