Life after the divorce from second husband and moving to Abadan

Once Mirza, the oldest son of Gohar-Beigom, was in Isfahan for getting married and taking her wife back to Abadan he had promissed his mom that whenever she wants she may get to Abadan to him and he will welcome, support and treat her well there After Gohar-Beigom's divorce she decides to go to his oldest son, Mirza, in Abadan and together with her 4 years old son, Hossein, she arranged the long journey to Abadan by contacting the smugglers. paying for caravans (transportation) and getting travel permissions. As a woman it was required to have permit from a guardian and also assuare that there is a recipient who signs the "delivery" papers when she has been delivered. The journey to Naseri (Ahvaz) took 40 days and after additional 7 days they came to Moammareh (Khorramshahr) and afterwards they took a boat over to Basra (occupied at that time by Britain) the Iraqi side together with smugglers to flow alongside the river, Arvandrood, to Abadan. When both Gohar-Beigom and her 4 years son got to Abadan, the "deliverer" had to get the signature of Mirza who was the recipient, but he refused to do that. Instead he was blaming his mom for coming to him without previous message and he had never asked them to come to Abadan. Nevertheless, Gohar-Beigom cerified by her finger-print and with help of some other good people from Isfahan who were living there as witness that she and Hossein had been safely "delivered". After spending a couple of days with the good Isfahani neighbors in Abadan she got back to Mirza. Hossein started to work as errend boy there at Mirza's bakery. Hossein (9 years old) and his mom had invested their hard-earnd money in buying some sacks of wheat which Mirza had used without even asking them and didn't even want to compensate them for that. This incident made Hossein (9 years old) and his mom to stop working with Mirza and his wife. Instead they went to another bakery and worked there. After about 5 years they got so much money saved that despite the long rebuking/blaming of Mirza and his wife, they could start their first bakery business while Hossein was only 16 years old. Hossein could then at age of 21 do the pilgrime trip to Mekka and become Haji.
