Hi Kalai. I'm sorry it took me a while to get here. I picked this one because it sounded interesting to me. There were a lot of good parts in this. I actually cringed when she stubbed her toe and lost the nail. I also felt for her when she got the ulcer. Sometimes life just doesn't seem fair. I did have some trouble with awkward wording. I'm guessing that English is probably not your first language. But this only tells me that you still did a great job. It is fairly easy to find someone to help out with word usuage. I'm going to give you a couple of line edits to show you what I mean. I hope you'll find something here to help you out.

She would sit in the chair under the shades of the tree and watched people working in the factory. (under the shade of the tree and watch people ...)

...the nail which was dead got separated from the toe and fell down. (the dead nail separated from the toe and fell off.)

No one was there at home. Her mother was busy in the kitchen as usual. (No one was at home. Then I wondered, it says no one is at home, but her mother is in the kitchen. Is she home?)

She could not even stand out and brush her teeth. (She could not even stand up to brush her teeth.)

I am shifted to-wards another thought. (towards in one word. Doesn't need a hyphen. Then I would say-- I shifted towards another thought.)

I know the way to go out, still I can't come out.
(I feel like I'm inside a maze. I know the way out, but I still can't do it.)

Anyway, these are just a few examples for you. It takes a lot of time to get it right, but you are definitely on the right track. Great story. Keep up the good work. I'll stop back again and read another one just as soon as I get caught up.
