My mother-in-law is a hopeless romantic. Uncle Chen was already in the final stage of cancer, yet she secretly got pregnant. At my wedding, she showed up in a wedding dress. “We’re celebrating two happy occasions today. Your father-in-law and I are getting married too.” After the wedding, she started trying to stop us from having a baby. “Having a child takes such a toll on your body. It’s just as good to raise your little brother as your own son.”
