That day, it was almost noon, and Grandma Li was still dancing square dance with her husband. She thought, if she danced for a while, her daughter-in-law Huimin would definitely prepare the meal when she got home.
When the elderly people dancing square dance dispersed, when Grandma Li and her husband returned home, they were already hungry. She found that the stove in the kitchen was still cold, and her daughter-in-law Huimin and her son were lying on the sofa playing with their mobile phones.
Huimin, why don’t you cook? Grandma Li angrily questioned her daughter-in-law.
Huimin stared at the screen of her phone without raising her head and said: There are so many people in her family, why do you have to cook?
Grandma Li didn't say anything, she went to cook. When she prepared the meal and the family of four was eating around the dining table, Grandma Li said: In ancient times, people called women a guest. What is a guest? It was to wash clothes and cook, and serve men. The same is true in our family. It’s just that women cook. I am older, and the task of cooking at home will be handed over to my daughter-in-law Huimin!
Huimin said: In what era now, what kind of courtesy and women serving men are still concerned about? In our family, my father does housework!
Grandma Li said angrily: Your family is your family, our family is our family. Since you have married into our family, you should follow the rules of our family. Would you say that your father-in-law and your husband cook?
Huimin was also angry. She said: No matter who cooks, I can’t cook anyway!
When Huimin was at her parents' home, her father was very diligent and loved cooking. At home, almost every meal was made by her father, and she, her mother and younger brother were all served. Moreover, Huimin's father also loves mopping the floor and doing housework, and uses this as a way to train his body. As soon as she got married, she got married, and when she arrived at her mother-in-law's house, her mother-in-law asked her to cook. Moreover, Huimin also believed that cooking was fumed by oil smoke, which was prone to aging and was not conducive to beauty. Therefore, how could Huimin go to cook?
In the future, Huimin just didn't cook. Grandma Li was very angry. There were several times when she didn't cook and forced Huimin to cook. Huimin actually ordered a takeaway for herself and her husband. The couple hid in their house for dinner. Regardless of Grandma Li and her wife, Grandma Li was so angry that her stomach was bulging.
Grandma Li said to her wife: Such a daughter-in-law is too lazy. It is better to separate from them and live their own lives. In this way, we will be out of sight and not upset! My wife agrees.
When Grandma Li told her son and daughter-in-law that she wanted to separate the family, her daughter-in-law Huimin said: First, now our family of four lives in a house, so you can split the family. You have to buy another house for us. If you don’t have the ability to buy a house for us, don’t mention the matter of splitting the family. Second, you cook more and do housework now, and lay the foundation for your life when you get old. As the saying goes, bully the elderly and not bully the young, and you will grow old soon. You are just a son and a daughter-in-law. Think about it, when you are old and sick in the future, who will care about you!
Hearing his daughter-in-law Huimin say this, Grandma Li answered correctly in a speechless manner. She said to her wife in private: I can’t tell that Huimin’s daughter-in-law is very young, but she is a tough character. She can’t afford to offend her and dare not provoke her.
From then on, Grandma Li no longer mentioned asking her daughter-in-law Huimin to cook, nor did she dare to mention the matter of separating the family. She did her best to do housework, wash clothes and cook, and serve the family.
