At the Lin family household, Lin Laoyao, also fearful of confrontations with his wife and unwilling to challenge her authority, found himself tagged with the moniker "henpecked husband."
He paid little attention to this label, hoping that one day his wife would be content and stop her insatiable demands.
However, despite occupying numerous things over the years, she remained dissatisfied. Lin Laoyao spoke coldly, "I won't go. It's way too embarrassing to do that!"
His wife's complexion changed dramatically at his refusal. Pointing her finger accusingly at Lin Laoyao, she shouted, "Have I had a single good day since I married you? Can you justify yourself, Lin Laoyao? If you won't go, we're getting a divorce."
Once youthful and able to carry off such tantrums with some charm, her advancing years had stripped her of that appeal. Despite her current intimidating presence, Lin Laoyao paid her no mind and reluctantly agreed to go.
