"Dad said you'd be coming home soon," she said. "Elder sister-in-law Kang has been cleaning up your room every day, wiping the tables, and sweeping the bed platform..."
"I know my sisters-in-law are the best to me." Saying this, Kang Li stepped forward and took the wok spatula from Third sister-in-law Kang's hand. "Third sister-in-law, you're showing now; you should be more careful. I'll cook, and you take a break."
"It's nothing."
Third sister-in-law Kang shook her head. She stood at the kitchen door, making way for Kang Li, and said, "In the village, women who are pregnant mostly work in the fields until the day before they give birth. Some even have their babies right there in the fields." However, she was lucky; she had married into a family and met a mother-in-law who was sensible and did not wear down her daughters-in-law.
Indeed, compared to most of the daughters-in-law in the village, her mother-in-law took good care of them once they were pregnant.
