Right from the day I got married, I didn’t get along with my mother-in-law. Because I didn’t want to see the mother-in-law and the bride’s face heavy and light every day, so my wife and I moved out to live separately.

My husband loved my mother very much, did not want her to live alone in old age, so he built our house right next to hers. The mother-in-law loves the grandchildren very much, so when I reprimand the children, she runs to defend them.

I was pampered by my grandmother, so sometimes I couldn’t teach, so my wife and I went over to give her advice. Unexpectedly, she was angry with my wife and me for 2 years. She only talked to the grandchildren, and my wife and I gave food or money she brought immediately.

When she was sick, my wife and I wanted to take her to the doctor, but she called her son-in-law and daughter to take her to the hospital. At that time, I was very sad, but my husband encouraged my old mother and I didn’t pay attention, she was still angry and still loved.

Recently, I suddenly had a fever and body aches, my husband was on a business trip, so I told my two children to go to my grandmother to eat, while I temporarily ate bread and took medicine. In the middle of the night, I had a worse fever, couldn’t sleep, so I woke up to find something to eat take fever reducer. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, I opened it and was startled when I saw my mother-in-law carrying a bowl of chicken porridge over.

She said that in the evening, when she heard from the children that I was sick, she had eaten bread and taken medicine. She said eating like that to get strength to fight disease. So she took the chicken from the cupboard to cook porridge for me, but when I was about to bring it over, my house turned off the light and went to sleep.

Worrying about my health all night, she couldn’t sleep, and when she saw my house turn on the lights, her mother-in-law brought porridge over. Looking at the hunched back of my mother-in-law, I choked.

I didn’t expect that I was a little sick, but my mother-in-law stayed up all night worrying about me. Perhaps the bowl of chicken porridge she cooked that day was the best bowl of porridge I’ve ever eaten.
