Spoiled by Eight Uncles

The harem spirit did not know what to say. “Did you still speak up for your mom then?”

The foolish ghost looked nothing but regretful. “No, this time I told my mom off. I told her that she wasn’t doing anything at home, and the kid didn’t need taking care of anymore now that he was in school. How busy could she get?”

That was true, wasn’t it? She’d said exactly that when her daughter-in-law stayed at home as well.

The foolish ghost thought- his wife had even looked after the baby when she was at home. Now, his mother hardly needed to do anything at all. The clothes were washed by the washing machine, she only had to cook lunch for herself- even dinner was settled by his wife.

Still, his mother complained that she was tired.

When her daughter-in-law stayed at home, she would complain that she was not earning any money and only spending it.

Now that her daughter-in-law had gone back to work, she was complaining that she wasn’t doing any chores and leaving them all to a poor old woman to do.

Which resulted in his mother exploding, hurling dishes and bowls around.

“My mother kicked up a fuss, threatening to jump off our balcony saying that no one cared about her after my dad died. Her son was abandoning his mother after getting a wife, accusing his poor mother of not doing anything when she was breaking her back.”

She would do this over and over again, causing the house to know no peace.

The harem spirit said, “Your mother really is making a fuss out of nothing!”

The foolish ghost sighed. “Yes, but she’s old. What was I supposed to tell her? So I told my wife to apologize to my mother.”

The harem spirit:

The weakling spirit:….

The unlucky ghost: You really are foolish, handling things so terribly!

The foolish ghost said, “Well, what was I supposed to do? One was my mother and another was my wife, I was going to explode from the stress! I really don’t even know why they fought all day, had they ever considered how I felt?”

“Hadn’t I just done everything for our family? Was I supposed to just abandon my mother? It would have been fine if everyone just sucked it up.”

Every family had their own mother and daughter-in-law shenanigans.
