her cruel stepmother
my thinking
I think that its not fair for Adeline to get blamed for the loss of her mother. her family needs to be nicer to her cause she respects them. she is smart in school too so they should congratulate her. also niang shouldn't have treated her daughter like that. its not fair to her daughter either because niang didn't raise her daughter so niang was a stranger to her daughter. she hit her daughter and screamed at her until finally Adeline stood up and said to stop treating her like that cause she is just a little girl. so I guess niang started to dislike Adeline more. I really like this book a lot even though some parts were sad but overall i like it.
