Nowadays, all the household chores are done by the sister-in-law, but the task of preparing the medicine for my mother-in-law is all done by me personally.

The hormones added to the medicine have immediate effects, and my mother-in-law felt much more comfortable after taking it for a few days.

She kept praising me for my filial piety.

My husband seems to be heavily entangled with a woman outside, who is quite adept at getting him to give her money.

Lately, he's been sending noticeably less money to the family.

My husband's money always goes directly to my mother-in-law, and she's quite dissatisfied with the reduced amount.

She called my husband home to scold him: "Your wings have hardened, huh? Making money and not showing filial piety to your old mother? What are you fooling around with outside for?"

As they quarrel, I have the sense not to stay and act as an obstacle.

I pretend to go out to prepare medicine for my mother-in-law, hiding outside to eavesdrop.
