The Road Back Home

A daughter-in-law wants to visit her mother, who has been injured in a fall, but her husband clutches his wallet and leaves her only a few hundred yuan, complaining that she is always giving money to her family. Unable to bear it, her mother-in-law pretends to have her eye on a bracelet and asks her son for money, then hands it straight to her daughter-in-law and goes with her. Seeing her in-law's difficulty getting around, the mother-in-law immediately calls her son over and scolds him for being thoughtless—after all, the bride's family had asked for no bride price when they married off their daughter, and as long as the mother is home, home endures; how could he be so petty? The son comes to his senses, apologizes to his wife on the spot, and plans to bring his mother-in-law home to care for her.
