Six Months Pregnant, and My Husband Wants Me to Do the Splits

On New Year's Eve, Chu Ze'an brought home his widowed sister-in-law.

Then he left me, six months pregnant, to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner alone.

While carrying a pot of hot soup out of the kitchen, I nearly fell.

Shen Nanxing mocked me. "With that big belly, you look just like a toad. You look so funny."

Then she put on a coy voice and said, "Ze'an, I want to see a toad do the splits."

My mother-in-law covered her mouth and giggled. I clenched my fists, miserable, and asked Shen Nanxing through trembling lips what she meant.

But Chu Ze'an shielded her behind him. "It's just doing the splits. It's New Year's Eve. Why are you being so precious?"

I swept the whole New Year's Eve dinner off the table.

Nobody is going to enjoy this New Year!
