Chapter 262 Wedding 2
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.
Si Chen paused, looked at Wang Dama solemnly and said, "My mother’s hardship is not due to my marrying a wife. She gave birth to me, it’s my duty to be filial to her, rather than binding such duty to someone else."
Wang Dama was left speechless by his words and simply played the unreasonable card. With a twisted mouth, she retorted, "What do you mean by ’binding filial piety to others’? I don’t understand all those fancy words you educated people use. But I know one thing, it’s the duty of a daughter-in-law to serve her mother-in-law in her old age. If not, it’s unfilial and she would be punished by heaven."
Why do people have sons?
Isn’t it to take care of them in their old age?
