On this day, Li Qin had an extremely miserable life, feeling even harder than going to work. And his mother didn't come back until dark.

When we walked in, the old lady was still on the phone: "Son, aren't you coming back for dinner tonight? Oh my, mom is ready to make braised pork ribs for you. Okay, don't be too tired from working overtime."

Little did she know that the person on the other end of the phone was actually her daughter-in-law, and her real son pretended to be her daughter-in-law and stayed at home with the baby for a day.

The old lady threw the ribs in her hand into the refrigerator, "Xiaoqin worked overtime today and won't be back for dinner, so we'll eat simple and cook some noodles. Why are you still standing there? Go and cook."

After saying that, the old lady pulled the child to her side, turned on the TV, and took the child to watch TV in the living room.

Li Qin couldn't help but ask: "Mom, what did you do today?"

The old lady said: "I went dancing in the morning, and then went to a fellow villager's house to play for a while."

"Are you just playing for a while?" Li Qin was very unhappy. "You don't care about all the work at home. You'll be gone all day long! Are you here to take care of our baby?"

Not to be outdone, the old lady said: "My son brought me to the city to enjoy the blessings. Why should I work for you? You usually go to work, and I will help you look after the children. Today you don't go to work, why do you let me stay at home?" Serve you?"

Li Qin remembered that Fuyun had complained to him before:

"You asked mom to take care of our children and do housework, but she plays outside all day long. I have been busy all day, and when I come back, I have to cook for the whole family - you are on a business trip every three days, so of course you don't I know. Every time you come back, your mother pretends to come to cook. She treats you like a son, and she really cares about you. But what about me? I go to work during the day and do housework at night. I am exhausted? She wants to It’s not that you don’t want to help, why don’t you go back to your hometown?”

At that time, Li Qin thought his wife was too exaggerated.

The old lady must have been tired from taking care of the baby during the day, so she wanted her daughter-in-law to share some of the burden. How could he deliberately leave all the housework to his daughter-in-law?

After enlightening himself, Li Qin took the vegetables to the kitchen to cook.

Before the meal was finished, I suddenly heard the old lady outside shouting: "Hey, why is the child so hot? It seems like he has a fever?"

Li Qin quickly put down the spatula and came out to take the child's temperature. Sure enough, he had a fever!

The old lady slapped him in the face and said, "It's all my fault that you carried the child to the roof of the building for a breeze last night and made my grandson sick."

Li Qin was so beaten by his mother that he was stunned: "It has nothing to do with last night, right? If it was cold last night, it should have been burned in the morning? I guess it was because of the cold in the morning shower."

He had never taken care of the child, and he was clumsy when bathing the child. It took him a long time before the child caught a cold.

The old lady yelled in a sharp voice: "No matter what, it's your fault. You can't even take care of a child. Why did my son marry a useless woman like you?"

After she finished speaking, she went to the refrigerator and dug out antipyretic medicine to feed her child.

Li Qin hurriedly stopped her: "It's just 38 degrees. The fever is not high. There is no need to take antipyretics for the time being."

The old lady said: "38 degrees is not high. When the fever gets severe and severe, the child's brain will be burned to death. Go away and let me give the child medicine!"

Li Qin just wanted to explain to her that antipyretics should not be used indiscriminately? Generally, it is eaten after it reaches 39 degrees Celsius.

But no matter how much he talked, the old lady just said: "You woman, you are so evil-hearted, you just want to see my grandson suffer. Isn't the antipyretic medicine just for reducing fever? Isn't it 38 degrees or 39 degrees?"

The two of them were quarreling over this matter, and the child was in the middle, crying, and it was like a whirlwind of fun.

Li Qin couldn't bear it and hurriedly called Fuyun and asked her to come back.

The floating clouds covered my husband's body. As soon as I entered the house, I saw my mother-in-law sitting on the sofa wiping her tears: "I work hard all day long to do this and that, and you still dislike me for not understanding this or that? Why don't you put it down?" The child has a fever and I am not allowed to give him medicine."

Li Qin was also stunned by his mother's sudden change. She was clearly arguing with him a moment ago, but why did she suddenly sit on the sofa and wipe her tears when she heard the door open?

Fuyun first went to check on the child's condition and felt relieved when he saw that the temperature was not particularly high.

Then she deliberately imitated her husband's previous tone and said, "Look at how angry you are at Mom! Mom is the elder and has worked hard for our family. Even if you are not grateful, how can you still be angry at Mom? What are you looking at? Why are you still angry at me? Don’t apologize to mom!”

Li Qin: "..."

These words are obviously familiar, but when the roles are reversed, it feels completely different.

Looking at his mother, she seemed even more aggrieved due to her "son's" favoritism. She covered her face with a tissue and cried very sadly.

In the past, when the old lady showed up like this, he felt sorry for his mother and turned to blame his wife.

Only then did he realize the fucking hypocrisy, and he suddenly became a little annoyed: "Mom, stop pretending, I've seen it all! You've been playing outside all day, and you still have the nerve to say that you worked so hard to help me take care of my baby?"

"Besides, why don't I explain to you clearly about drinking medicine? But you just can't explain it!"

"Mom, please stop wiping your tears. I know you are just pretending. We are all one family. Why are you planning like this? What you are planning is affecting our relationship as husband and wife!"

The old lady suddenly knelt down on the ground: "Daughter-in-law, don't be angry, it's all my fault. It's all my fault. Mom shouldn't be nosy..."

As she said this, she clasped her hands together and worshiped her daughter-in-law: "I kneel down and beg you not to curse, let alone make trouble like yesterday. I'll be a cow and a horse for you. I'm exhausted and I can do anything." As long as you’re happy!”

There is a saying in the old lady’s hometown that if an elder kowtows and worships a younger generation, the younger generation will shorten their life span and take away their luck.

What's more important is that every time she makes such a move, her son will feel sorry for him and say to Fuyun: "My mother has knelt down for you, what else do you want? You have no conscience for abusing the elderly like this." Doesn’t it hurt?”

The daughter-in-law couldn't do anything to her.

It is said that it is difficult to handle a well-educated and knowledgeable daughter-in-law. How about now? It's not like she was eating him to death.

This is how the old lady rubs her, suppresses her, and wears away her energy, so that she can better serve the elderly, her husband, and her children.

But it was strange today. His son didn't scold his wife for being unfilial like before, and he didn't even have the intention to help her up. He just stood by and watched the farce in front of him.

It wasn't until the old lady had done enough acting that Fuyun said, "Apologise to mom. She won't get up until you apologize."

She used to be like this. From the first time her mother-in-law knelt down and worshiped her, she was so frightened that she apologized repeatedly.

Later, as she knelt more and more often, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked her mother-in-law not to act or pretend.

But her husband not only distrusts her, but also thinks she is too unfilial.

Now that the roles have been reversed, the husband finally appreciates his mother's "smart methods."
