It is said that hell has no fury like a woman scorned. Women have over time developed various ways of dealing with philandering husbands, chief among them vandalizing the husband’s favorite toy – car.
But then in the village, where the chief means of locomotion is the foot, village wives have limited things to vandalise, unlike Nebo Pius (Pius’ wife).
She decided to make a meal of the family’s only hen, and it did not even belong to the family.
Following a tip off, the woman smoked out her husband making out in the messenger’s house.
She frog marched Pius, who was lucky for the night provided a cover for the shame that would have clung to him could have been only washed away by the blood of Jesus.
Pius worked as a farm hand, employed by another family. In his attempt to raise a brood of his own, he had charmed a neighbor into giving him a chicken to rear together with his employer’s.
In fury, the wife picked a torch and fished out the hen, hurling expletives at Pius in the process.
“How dare you go and use people’s daughters like that!! Don’t you have any shame stupid man?” the woman shouted at her husband.
The diminutive father of six (who could pass for a teenager) cowed at a distance, unable to defend himself as his wife lashed at him. She proceeded to slaughter it, making an otherwise dull meal into a chicken delicacy.
Pius would only stay at a reasonable distance lest the wife decide to make him part of the meal.
She hurled expletives at him in the process. Whether he tasted the chicken is not clear.
“I got snitched on by someone,” Pius regrettably said.
The following morning, the owner of the chicken got wind of the demise of her property. She came to the homestead early in the morning demanding it.
Without a choice, Pius hurriedly packed things and left for his home, in Baringo County.
