That afternoon, I happily set up a table full of clown fish and chicken, and I would rather have enough meat. I was going to call my mother at birth to eat a comfort food, my mother and daughter had not eaten properly for a long time. But when I went out on the veranda, I saw the shadow of my mother-in-law lying down.
Before she could ask, she immediately called her two sisters-in-law and four grandchildren who were crying. His voice was loud, as if he was the host of the house:
“Yes, come here, there is a big party at his house today, the food is clownish, and the cup is free!
I stood dead, the blood in my body was boiling. I had prepared the entire session, just hoping for a hot meal with my biological mother, but in an instant I became a reluctant “family tray”. I held back, but the scene of my mother-in-law casually leading the whole family, throwing her jaw to direct the chairs, the four grandchildren climbing and smashing, I gritted my teeth so much that the blood in my mouth rose.
Suddenly, hot air poured into his chest. I stood up, my face was red, my hands were shaking and hugged the tray of chickens and fish. Everyone was shocked, I shouted:
“If you don’t invite me, don’t go alone!”
Then he directly threw the entire tray of food into the yard. The sound of broken dishes mixed with the strong smell of fish, chicken fat spread across the brick floor. The space was silent. The mother-in-law rolled her eyes, the two mothers-in-law opened their mouths, and the children were scared and cried.
But the climax still did not stop. Just ten minutes later, the entire neighborhood rushed into chaos. The smell of food spread throughout the alley, causing the big and small dogs in the village to rush inside, competing to growl, bite and tear every piece of meat, and the sound of dogs barking resounded. People rushed to the can, children cried, the elderly shouted. Some of the neighbors even said:
“Look, this house is a joke.
– People’s daughters-in-law are filial to invite their mothers, and you drag your whole family to steal the tray, it’s shameful!
Her mother-in-law is out of blood, and she can’t speak and can’t speak. The two sisters-in-law are both angry and ashamed, and they were about to leave, but the neighbors stopped them to reprimand them.
I stood in the middle of the chaos, my heart was pounding, my eyes were red, but my head was still raised. At that moment, I realized, this was no longer a matter of a tray of rice, but the ultimate limit of self-esteem that was trampled on.
And for the first time, the entire neighborhood witnessed the scene of a bride who was no longer silent and endured…
