Upon hearing that she had to serve tea to Old Mrs. Mu, Mrs. Lin panicked: "I won't go, Dad. Ever since Mom hurt her back and lay on the bed, she's been like a rabid dog.
Whoever she catches, she curses. This morning, when I brought breakfast, she almost flayed my skin off."
"Second daughter-in-law, are you actually speaking like a human being? What do you mean she's like a rabid dog? Would you dare to say that in front of her?" Mr. Mu asked.
Mrs. Lin quickly explained: "Dad, that's not what I meant. I was... I was just saying that Mom's been in a bad temper lately. If you ask me to bring her tea, aren't you sending me to my death?
Even though I'm merely your daughter-in-law, you should still treat me a little better."
Mr. Mu was furious.
"Fine, second daughter-in-law. If delivering tea is such a big deal that you'd rather die, then I'll just have someone else do it."
