I really envy other people's mothers-in-law. Even if they can't love their daughters-in-law like their own daughters, at least they can avoid making trouble for them and treat each other with respect. Maybe you'll say, isn't that just the ordinary way a daughter-in-law and mother-in-law get along? But for me, that's truly something I can only wish for. At the time, I was nearly worn out from all the ordeal, and it was my husband who used a little trick to help me. Otherwise, I don't know how much longer those days would have lasted, or whether my body could have held up. My mother-in-law really did treat me badly, but when I think of how good my husband is to me, my heart still feels very sweet.

My mother-in-law has always been very dissatisfied with me, and after we got married she made things difficult for me at every turn. She seemed to have a very strong dependence on her son and thought I was the person who had taken her son away, a bad woman. When my husband saw how much I suffered and how much I was put in difficult positions at home, he took me and we moved out of that house, and we rented a place near our workplace. Because of this, my mother-in-law became even more resentful toward me, thinking I was the one who egged my husband on to do it, that I was the chief culprit. But fortunately, I no longer had to look at her sour face or suffer her disdain every day. Just thinking that we would only meet during festivals and holidays made me very happy.

Not long after we moved out, one day while I was at work, I suddenly got a call from my mother-in-law. I asked her if something was wrong, and she told me she wasn't feeling well. I asked her what was going on, but she couldn't explain anything herself. I was afraid her illness might be serious, so I took leave and took her to the hospital. After the doctor examined her, he said there was nothing wrong with her at all. Only then did I realize that my mother-in-law was just trying to torment me. But after all, I am her daughter-in-law, and bound by filial duty, I couldn't just ignore her. She insisted on being hospitalized. At that time, I worked during the day, and after work I would go home, cook, and bring food to my mother-in-law at the hospital. Only after she fell asleep would I return to the place we rented. Sometimes she said she felt unwell and wouldn't let me go back, so I would sleep overnight leaning on the table in the hospital room.

One day or two was manageable, but as time went on, my body couldn't take it anymore. My husband saw me growing more and more haggard and felt very distressed. He was unwilling to confront my mother-in-law directly, so he came up with a plan. He complained tearfully to my mother-in-law, saying he had been fired by his company and that I was now going to divorce him. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, my mother-in-law's attitude toward me changed immediately. She even said she was feeling better and clamored to be discharged, saying I had been working too hard lately and that she would go home and make me chicken soup.

During this period, I truly felt very bitter and wronged by my mother-in-law's torment. I felt that I was hardly like a daughter-in-law at all, but practically a nanny in my mother-in-law's house. But when I thought of how good my husband is to me, and how he can always think of me in everything, more than half of the grievance in my heart disappeared. Having a husband who loves me so much is enough. Do you all agree?
