Answer Details
In Buchi Emecheta's novel "The Joys of Motherhood," the news that made life miserable for Nnu Ego in Nnaife's house was that Nnaife had inherited his brother's wives and children. This meant that Nnu Ego had to share her husband and his resources with her co-wives and their children, which was a source of great stress and unhappiness for her. It was also a reminder that in the patriarchal society depicted in the novel, women were often subject to the whims and decisions of men and had little agency or control over their own lives.
