Ms. Hu is a career-minded woman who puts most of her energy into her work, and she has a natural attitude towards marriage.
When she got married, she and her husband were introduced to each other, and soon entered the palace of marriage. Her husband is very considerate of her busy work and most of the housework is done by her husband, for which Ms. Hu expressed her gratitude and recognition.
Five years later, the two of them bought a large house together and happily moved in. At this time, Ms. Hu's mother-in-law proposed that she would like to live with them and retire together. Ms. Hu did not object, but she regarded it as an extra old man in the family, and there was no big objection.
However, when her mother-in-law moved in with her, she was dissatisfied that her son was doing all the housework. In the mother-in-law's view, these housework should have been Ms. Hu's responsibility, and her son married his daughter-in-law just to be taken care of. Ms. Hu believes that her career is in the development stage, and she can solve the housework problem by earning money, and her husband can do housework voluntarily. She advocated that couples could cooperate with each other and share household chores.
This difference in perception leads to contradictions. The concepts of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are completely opposite, especially the mother-in-law's dissatisfaction with Ms. Hu. The mother-in-law believes that Ms. Hu lacks a tutor and needs to be reformed, while Ms. Hu insists on her position and turns a blind eye.
During a visit from her in-laws, her mother-in-law showed her dissatisfaction with Ms. Hu, and even scolded her for not being able to cook and asked her to do it. Ms. Hu didn't comply, and her mother-in-law actually slapped her, claiming that she was making up for her in-laws' tutors. Ms. Hu was shocked by this scene, and her husband did not stop her mother's behavior, which made Ms. Hu's parents very angry.
In the face of her mother-in-law's strong behavior, Ms. Hu chose to remain silent. However, when her mother also imitated her mother-in-law's actions, she directly slapped Ms. Hu's husband, and the scene fell into chaos for a while.
This incident reflects the contradictions in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which need to be handled by mutual respect and coordination between both parties. Although the mother-in-law has her expectations, between husband and wife, the division of labor and cooperation should be decided by themselves, and should not be interfered with by the outside world. A sense of proportion and respect are the keys to resolving conflicts.
