"Mother, that won't do. Normally, I'm only at school. Finally, I have an opportunity to work in the fields. Let me go," She stated, not wanting to hear her sisters-in-law gossip about her being lazy and taking advantage of the situation during the busy farming season when meals were supposed to be served in the cafeteria.
Seeing her determination, Yunhan's mother relented. "Alright, we'll all go work." The farm work during this season was exhausting, but having her eldest and second son help out in the cafeteria could make things easier.
When Yunhan's father returned home, his wife shared their plans with him.
Actually, he had been observing as well. After their youngest son left, his dutiful daughter-in-law not only attended school but also gathered pig grass daily and maintained the household.
"They don't know the whole picture. Every time I step foot outside, the old women start criticizing our daughter-in-law for being pampered. It infuriates me," his wife complained.
