Listen again. Shut up, baby. It was just a slap. Please bear with her for me. Vivien and my older sister, Hucher and my younger brother, I can’t chase them away. Just show them a little more respect so there won’t be any more problems. What nonsense! There isn’t even any salt in this meal. God forbid.
Big sister Viviane, this meal tastes like garbage. I’ve never seen such a beautiful girl so useless. Every day, you serve us food with absolutely no taste. Just because of a simple pregnancy, you’re no longer even capable of taking good care of us. I myself will drive you out of my son’s house. Mother, sister-in-law, aunt, I swear I put enough salt in.
Please taste it again. Shut up. Who do you think you are to answer us? You’re calling us liars. Do you expect these plates to wash themselves? Right now. I need a clean plate. Why my older sister? I cooked all day. Please, I’m very tired. I’ll wash the dishes a little later. If you need a plate now, you can wash one.
What? What did you just say? I am your older sister, so I have the right to speak to you this way. One simple pregnancy and you’ve already started to think of yourself as a queen. Are you carrying the Holy Messiah or something? If you are not capable of fulfilling your duties as our brother’s wife in this house, then why are you still here? She welcomed her husband with love into her home, but they turned her into a servant in her own household.
Even when she became pregnant, no one defended her, not even her husband. Her greatest pain was not the insults from her in-laws, but the silence of her husband. How much suffering can a woman endure before deciding to leave? Look at this story, my friends. It will touch your heart and open your eyes to what some women endure at the hands of their in-laws.
When Youche lost his job, his older brother Daniel did what he thought any good brother should do. He welcomed Youche into the house he shared with his wife. “Stay with us for a few months,” said Daniel. As soon as you have regained your stability, you can get your own accommodation. Daniel’s wife, Rita, did not complain.
She greeted Youche with respect. She cooked for him, washed the extra dishes without ever complaining, encouraged him, and even helped him redo his resume. But Youche wasn’t the only person Daniel had taken into their home. His older sister, Vivionne, who was single, also came to live with them after complaining that she was tired of living alone.
Shortly afterwards, Daniel’s mother, Mam Daniel, also joined them. Before Rita even realized it, her peaceful home had transformed into a house filled with the whole family. Every morning, Rita got up before everyone else. She swept the living room, cleaned the kitchen, prepared breakfast, did the dishes, prepared the accommodation, washed the clothes and went to the market again.
