The holiday is coming, the mother-in-law made a strange request that left the daughter-in-law stunned. The climax was when the daughter-in-law just gave birth to her first child and the ending….

When she heard her mother-in-law say that, Phuong turned to look at her husband in disappointment. Honestly, she was speechless about her mother-in-law’s “important” matter.

Phuong is the eldest daughter-in-law in a family of two brothers. Right from the moment she was introduced to her husband’s family, Mrs. Hien – her current mother-in-law – clearly showed her dislike because she thought Phuong was a city girl, didn’t know how to do anything, and was not suitable to be a daughter-in-law in the countryside.

But under her son’s persuasion and Phuong’s demonstration of being a good daughter-in-law, Mrs. Hien finally nodded in agreement.

She thought that after getting married and living alone in the city, Phuong would not have to deal with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law situation. However, Phuong was constantly asked by Mrs. Hien to come back every weekend so she could teach her about family rules.

Working all week is tiring, and having to come home on the weekend to be submissive to her mother-in-law also makes Phuong feel exhausted at times.

The climax was when Phuong gave birth to her first child. Her mother-in-law insisted that Phuong and her child return to their hometown to give birth and not let her stay near her husband. During this time, Phuong and her mother-in-law had many conflicts and clashes, but in the end, Phuong still endured for the sake of her child.

Next month, Phuong’s son will turn 2 years old, so she wants to take advantage of the upcoming long holiday to take the whole family on a beach trip to celebrate her son’s early birthday. However, the other day, Phuong’s mother-in-law called her and her husband to tell them that during the upcoming long holiday, the couple should arrange to go back to their hometown because there is an important matter at home.

When hearing Phuong talk about traveling, Mrs. Hien showed her anger through her words. She thought that her daughter-in-law was selfish and did not care about her parents-in-law’s feelings. She said that during the holidays, everyone would go back to their hometown to visit their parents and gather with their family, but Phuong wanted to go out.

She also said that every year the media reports on the crowded situation, full of people on holiday, and everything has increased prices, and people are being ripped off. Only those with extra money would travel during this time. That money is used to go back to the hometown to invite the whole family to a party, both fun and famous.

Before Phuong could say anything more, Mrs. Hien continued to sulk and say that Phuong had no responsibilities as a daughter-in-law in the house. Her husband’s family had something to do, and she went out to play and didn’t come back. But when Phuong tried to ask her what it was, Mrs. Hien remained silent.

In her mind, Phuong only thought simply, during the holidays she would have time with her family and take her children out. If there was something important at home, she would be willing to go back to her hometown and not be someone who shirks responsibility.

Finally, when questioned by Phuong and even her husband sitting next to her, Mrs. Hien agreed to say that in the near future, they wanted to pave the pool yard with red bricks to clean it up.

Needless to say, when she heard her mother-in-law say that, Phuong turned to look at her husband in disappointment. Honestly, she was speechless about her mother-in-law’s “important” work. She had not done it all day and all month, but now that everyone was going out, every family was going out, she wanted to tear the yard apart and do it all over again.

Although she was confused by her mother-in-law’s request, Phuong still patiently listened to her mother-in-law’s words, then gently told her that she didn’t have to worry about it, that she and her husband would take responsibility. But they would do it later because during the holidays, they should take proper breaks.

But what surprised Phuong was that her mother-in-law insisted on doing it this time, and said there was no need to hire outside workers, paving the pool yard was very simple, her father-in-law and her husband could do it. Phuong would be the one to help with the mortar for the two of them.

After saying that, she also agreed to let it be like that. When the day off starts, arrange to go home right away, work early and finish early, then it’s not too late to take a holiday.

After her mother-in-law hung up, Phuong was frozen. She was very upset with her mother-in-law’s unreasonable request. She explained to her husband about the unreasonable things her mother-in-law had said. Although she didn’t want to do it, Phuong’s husband was a weak person, without his own opinions, he didn’t dare to disobey his mother, afraid that she would be sad. He pushed all the decisions of traveling or going back to his hometown to Phuong.

Phuong knew that if she tried to travel, her mother-in-law would nag her and talk badly about her everywhere, like she was a sinner in the family. But having to go back to her hometown to be friends with lime, sand, and gravel during the holidays made Phuong feel very uncomfortable.

Currently, Phuong does not know how to solve this difficult situation when there is only a week left until the holiday.
