"You old fool dare to criticize my temper, yet you don't see how old I am, having to serve everyone day and night. You, on the other hand, simply wipe your mouth after eating and go out for a stroll!" Mrs. He's grievances were genuine.
She was already a mother-in-law, and since her eldest daughter-in-law entered the family, she hadn't cooked a single meal.
Even when other families divided their household, it was only after all the daughters-in-law were married that they'd handle chores, sparing the mother-in-law from serving the whole family.
But her family was different; those two rascals caused a split in the household, and the fourth son wasn't even married yet. Poor her, at her old age, still had to wash clothes and cook meals all day long, and how could she not feel some resentment in her heart.
Mrs. He had merely made a casual complaint, but Ye Jiu took it to heart.
