"My fellow villagers, if one day our family is taken to court, I hope you all will come forward to testify! You all are well aware of my situation. Simply tell the pure, unvarnished truth." Huzi's mother pleaded, taking the opportunity as the villagers voiced their support for her.
Fortunately, her mother had taught her, after Huzi's father had gone into the army, to not quietly do heavy work at home while serving her parents-in-law! She had to let the villagers see and be aware of her daily toils.
Latter, when her husband sent money home from the army every month, her in-laws pocketed it all. Once, when outsiders happened to visit, they gave her the money.
She was quite surprised.
But when the outsiders left, her father-in-law asked her to give the money back.
She felt he was so fake. As a straight-talking person, she could not play such hypocritical games, so she went back to her mother's house and told her everything.
