[Family life + Everyday household squabbles + Marrying far from home + Mama's boy + Wicked mother-in-law + Meddlesome sister-in-law]
Xu Xiner was foolishly in love. She married for love with no bride price and moved thousands of miles away. For years, she never returned to her parents' home. This time, she asked to take her husband and daughter back for a visit.
But the Zhao family did everything they could to stop her.
Her mother-in-law said, “What kind of wife insists on going back to her parents' home during the New Year? Who's going to do the housework and take care of our family?”
Her sister-in-law said, “My mother's getting old. While you're off enjoying yourself at your parents' home, who's going to wash the clothes, cook the meals, and mop the floors?”
Her husband said, “My mother struggled so hard to raise me. As a daughter-in-law, you can't be so unfilial!”
After seeing them for who they really were, Xu Xiner resolved to divorce him. She took her daughter and finally escaped that living hell.
After the divorce, her ex-husband could never find another woman foolish enough to love him blindly.
Her former mother-in-law regretted it so much she stamped her feet!
