Wang Dama had five sons and no daughters. The three eldest sons were married, but they hadn't separated from their family, so they all still crowded together to eat. If every daughter-in-law was as lazy as Tong Yao, wouldn't she be exhausted?
In her opinion, a lazy daughter-in-law like Tong Yao is the product of poor upbringing at her parents' home. If a girl acted like that in the countryside, she would have been beaten countless times.
As the old saying goes, when you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; when you marry a dog, you follow the dog. Don't think you're superior just because you're from the city. Once you get married here, you become a daughter-in-law here and should adopt local customs and work diligently.
If she were in her family, the daughter-in-law wouldn't get away with not working today.
