After his wife had brain surgery, the husband refused to let her rest until the mother-in-law showed over and did something totally out of the ordinary. “Take off the bandages and get to the kitchen, my mother and sister are hungry.” 
The woman was lying in bed with a blanket over her head, and every movement hurt. She was exhausted from the recent injuries and concussion, and the doctor had given her a severe order to be in bed for a few weeks at the very least. In her home, however, the doctor’s remarks had no meaning.
The spouse barged into the bedroom as the door banged. He was agitated and furious.
— “Go to the kitchen and remove the bandages!” he exclaimed. “Please prepare something for my mother and sister, who have arrived. Why are you lying here doing nothing? What sort of housewife are you?
– “But I can’t get up, you know.” I’m in a lot of agony; perhaps you could manufacture something yourself.
— “I’m not interested. If my wife is incapable of cooking, why did I ever marry her?
She hardly suppressed her tears. New footsteps were heard in the hallway before she could respond.
Her mom came in. For a few moments, she calmly gazed at her son-in-law while setting her bag on the ground. Then she did something that no one, least of all him, had anticipated.
The mother-in-law moved in closer and slapped him hard without saying anything. The piercing boom reverberated through the quiet.
She responded icily, “This is for you for having the audacity to insist on food from a woman who has hardly woken up since her surgery.”
The man was so surprised that he froze.
She continued, staring him in the eyes, “You are mistaken.” “This is not a hospital, nor is it your kitchen. My kid lives here. Furthermore, neither your mother nor your sister will be the master here. Quit making my daughter’s life miserable. Gather your belongings and leave. I won’t let my daughter live with you any longer, even though she lacks the guts to say it. Cowardly and tyrannical
He started to object, but he didn’t say anything. Her confidence and the force of her voice were like a burden to him. Even though she talked softly, every word had a powerful impact.
For the first time in a long time, the woman in bed felt that someone was there to defend her at any costs.
And the man understood that all he had thought he could control fell apart in an instant.
