Jojo over heaven

A child could figure that out, but she never did it. Quite the opposite.
When my father was drank heavily and got drunk off his ass, she remonstrated
him.
"You mustn't drink so much liquor."
And the like.
She would say obvious things like that.
She would get hit and say obvious things---- What exactly was going to
come from saying things like that? If you thought about it, it should've been easy
to figure out. Seeing her try to talk to my father despite the fact that she did
nothing to defend herself from being beaten couldn't be expressed as anything
but humorous.
It's strange.
I cannot help but question it.
Even if she couldn't escape the scorn, she should at least have been able
to escape the violence...... So why didn't she?
Is it as I thought, she was simply foolish? Because she wasn't smart?
Was my mother really a hopeless idiot?
That is wrong.
Now that one hundred years have passed, I know that is wrong.
Now that I know the so-called outside world and the next world.
It's true that my mother at least had intelligence and education---- Even
while in poverty where I could not go to school often, the one that taught me
various things in place of a teacher was none other than her.
It is because I had that basic education that I was able to live with such
determination later. I never once thanked my mother for that while she was alive,
though----- I didn't think that such an "education" could serve any purpose, but if
it weren't for that I seriously doubt I could have lived at that refined Joestar home.
I never cared about my mother's bloodline, but when I did investigate, I
found that that woman may have actually come from the upper echelons of
society.
