Chapter 407: Bullying the Daughter-in-law?
Li Sisi said, "My husband is a doctor, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law don’t work here. They came here from a small county."
When she mentioned this, the aunties and ladies gathered around her curiously. "How old are your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"
"In their sixties, pretty healthy."
"Then they don’t help you cook meals?"
Li Sisi laughed and said, "How could we let them cook? They’re here to enjoy life, not to do chores. Cooking is something that only daughters-in-law should do."
"Then you don’t have a job?"
"I do! I’m a nurse at the Chinese Hospital. Sometimes I even have to work night shifts, like tonight. But I’ll make sure to finish cooking before I head out. Sisters, aunties, I won’t chat with you anymore. I need to hurry upstairs, or my father-in-law and mother-in-law will complain again."
After Li Sisi left, the people remaining started gossiping among themselves.
"What era are we living in? There are still family rules and expectations like this? My household wouldn’t tolerate it—my daughter-in-law would’ve left already. These days, I’m the one cooking and raising the grandkid, while my daughter-in-law just works her job."
"Exactly, my daughter-in-law wouldn’t even do that much. It’s rare to see someone like this young lady who still cooks. Such daughters-in-law are practically extinct."
