When my mother-in-law found out I was earning $4,000 a month, she insisted on bringing my three brothers-in-law from the farm to live with us and forcing me to serve them. I secretly planned it, and after just one day, terrible consequences befell them.
The moment my mother-in-law found out I earned $4,000 a month, everything changed.
Her eyes lit up — not with pride, but calculation.
“That’s plenty,” she said flatly.
“You can support the family now.”
Within a week, she brought my husband’s three older brothers back from the farm and announced they would be living with us.
No discussion.
No warning.
“They’re family,” she said. “You’ll cook. Clean. Serve them. That’s what a good wife does.”
My husband didn’t defend me.
He just looked away.
So I smiled.
And I started planning.
THE HUMILIATION
That night, I cooked dinner for five grown adults.
One brother complained the food was cold.
Another demanded I wash his clothes immediately.
The third laughed and said, “At least she’s useful.”
My mother-in-law watched proudly.
I said nothing.
Because I only needed one day.
THE PLAN THEY NEVER SAW
