Bab 393: Chapter 394: A Miserable Day 1

During the days at her parental home, the little bit of flesh she had managed to put on at her husband's house, was now all gone due to hunger.

When the meal was almost ready, it was only then that the two sisters-in-law went to wake up their in-laws and men to eat, and then fetched water for them to wash up.

In the Chen Family, all these chores were done by the men themselves, they only needed to heat up the water, leave it there and then cook.

But in the Li Family, such tasks were considered women's duties.

In the Li Family, men were seen as lords, every day apart from the fieldwork, all other matters were handled by women.

For Grandma Li, her daughters-in-law and granddaughters were like beasts of burden, free to be beaten and scolded at will.

As long as you don't beat them to death or incapacitate them, that was all right, because there would be repercussions for killing someone.
