Antonio paced to the door of his daughter Julia’s room. He paced at the door for a moment, then stepped forward and knocked on the door.
“Julia, it’s me, Dad.”
There was no response in the room.
Antonio had no choice but to speak patiently outside the door: “Julia, you have to know that our Sicilian tradition is that everything is for the family. The reason I sit in this position today is not for my personal honor, disgrace or wealth, everything is For the future of our Zano family, I hope you can, like me, always put the interests of the family first!”
In the room, a young girl angrily rebuked: “Everything for the family is just your personal thoughts and wishes. You can’t impose your personal thoughts and wishes on me! If so, I would rather leave this family!”
Antonio said angrily: “Listen to what bastard words you are saying! Don’t forget that you are a girl with Sixi Island blood flowing in your bones! Girls from Sixi Island, even if they get married and change their surname, , and you must never forget your family! The brand of the family is left in the blood, bones and soul of every Xixi Islander!”
“Go to your family brand!” the girl said angrily: “From today on, I will take my mother’s surname! I am no longer Julia Zano! I am Julia Chiricella! I have long been tired of it. The last name is Zano!”
“How dare you!” Antonio banged the door angrily and shouted angrily: “Julia, if you insist on confronting me, then I will send you to Sicily overnight and send you to you.” My cousin’s farm will let you shave wool there for the rest of your life!”
The girl in the room fell silent for a moment.
Antonio’s mood was not calmed down at all. When he saw that his daughter did not respond, he continued to roar aggressively: “Julia, don’t think that this matter can get over without talking! I will give you three seconds to think about it. If you are sure If you want to confront me, I will arrange for you to go to the airport now!”
After that, he raised his voice a little and shouted: “One! Two!”
The girl in the room shouted nervously: “Okay, okay! I listen to you! I listen to you!”
Antonio then calmed down a little and said coldly: “That’s more or less the same! Remember! A Sicilian girl will serve her family all her life!”
The girl inside said helplessly: “Okay, you are right. Now please leave first. I need some time to dress up!”
Antonio said coldly: “I will give you ten minutes. During these ten minutes, I will wait for you here!”
The girl had no choice but to say: “It’s up to you. If you’re willing to wait, no one will stop you.”
Antonio sneered and reminded: “Julia, I advise you not to try to climb out of the window to escape, because I have already arranged for people to watch outside your window. Once you climb out of the window, they will I’ll catch you, put you in the car and take you to the airport!”
The girl suddenly became furious: “You bastard!”
Antonio was not angry even after being scolded by his daughter, and said with a smile: “Remember, Julia, a Sicilian girl, she will serve the family all her life! You betray the family and bring shame on my face. I would rather let you get a haircut in Sicily.” A lifetime of wool will never let you become a disgrace to the family.”
The girl shouted hysterically: “Antonio Zano! I hate you!”
