17 Aurelianos
When Arcadio falls in love with Pilar Ternera, unaware that she is his mother, Pilar pays Santa Sofia de la Piedad, a virgin, 50 pesos to sleep with him instead.

She works hard all of her life without complaint, so much so that family members mistake her for a servant rather than a matriarch.
