"I told you to stay a few more days for your own good! Who knows if your condition will relapse?!" Su Mom refused to back down, arguing forcefully, "I've been running back and forth every day to look after you, and I'm not complaining, but you're the one who started whining first!"
"I—When did I ever say I was complaining about you?" Su Dad said anxiously, "I just told you not to act without consulting me!"
Su Mom retorted, "How could I not act on my own? In this family, the elders don't care, the young ones don't take responsibility. If I don't make decisions by myself, are you planning to just sit back and watch your daughter work herself to the bone, grow into an aging leftover woman, and not even have time to find a boyfriend?!"
"Why are you bringing this up again!" Su Dad said, exasperated.
Su Mom gave him a pointed look, her tone impatient: "Anyway, I know what I'm doing with this—I don't need you to meddle."
