On the Second Day of the Lunar New Year, My Wicked Mother-in-Law Won't Let Me Visit My Parents

The second day of the Lunar New Year was the day to visit my parents, but my mother-in-law blocked the door.

"Your family lives so far away. It costs thousands to make the trip. There's no point wasting all that money. Just call your mother."

"Your two sisters-in-law and their families will be here soon. Help me cook and make them feel welcome."

I looked to my husband, but he sided with his mother.

"It's the New Year. My sisters and their families are coming over. Don't make a fuss."

Fine. If you're blocking me from going out, then I'll block your sisters and their families from coming in.

No one is going back to their parents' home.
