   Reader note

   My mother-in-law is a master of double standards. Her own daughter sleeping until noon is considered "lucky," while I'm labeled a "lazy daughter-in-law" if I get up ten minutes early. My husband is a master of blind filial piety, his constant refrain being, "My mother has had a hard life." My sister-in-law took a liking to the jade bracelet from my dowry, and my mother-in-law immediately demanded I "lend" it to her. I endured this for three years, until they threw the manuscript I'd written overnight into the stove, calling me a good-for-nothing who freeloaded. Looking at the manuscript reduced to ashes, I wiped away my tears and smiled. (Part 2)
