Refused to Split Dinner
After returning to my in-laws' home for Christmas Eve dinner with my wife, Winona Zachary, only my mother-in-law, Jenny Stroll, was busy while the others were all on their phones.
I had just sat down when Jenny started cursing, "They just sit there and wait to eat. They didn't even offer to help. Are they trying to exhaust me?"
She would even slam the pots and pans from time to time. "How heartless for young people to let an elderly person like me serve them!"
I felt a bit restless and nudged Winona. "Maybe you should go help her?"
Jenny's insults escalated after hearing that.
Remembering it was my first time spending Christmas at my in-laws' house and not wanting things to get too ugly, I got up to help. However, Jenny dumped everything on me as soon as I entered the kitchen.
Suppressing my anger, I finished cooking dinner, served it, and got ready to eat.
Jenny suddenly spoke up. "Wait, we need to settle some accounts before we eat."
