After dinner, feeling a bit bored, I lay on the bed and scrolled through my phone.

Unexpectedly, in the usually quiet family group chat, a message popped up from my sister-in-law, Liang Yuwei.

She is known for her proud and aloof personality, so after my brother added her to the group, she had never spoken in the chat before.

I was curious, so I opened the message to take a look.

It turned out to be a picture with the caption: "Eating cold dishes and cold rice during confinement, family, who understands!"

The picture showed five dishes and a soup, a balanced and nutritious meal that my mom had specially prepared for her today.

Due to my caregiver taking a day off and delivery only being possible to the hospital entrance, my mom was worried I wouldn't have food, so she prepared some of my sister-in-law's food in advance and brought it to me.

Then, she hurried back in a rush.

But just because she needed to reheat the food before eating, she was unwilling to do so.

Not only did she take a picture, but she also complained in the group chat.

I got angry and was about to explain for my mom, but the nurse came to give me an injection, so I didn't have time to reply.

When I checked my phone after the injection, there were already dozens of messages in the group chat.

I opened the new messages and saw that the first person to respond was my grandmother back in my hometown.

She tagged my mom and questioned her directly:

"What's going on? How can you, as a mother-in-law, treat her like this? Yuwei just gave birth to a grandson for our Jiang family, she is a great contributor to our family. How can you treat her so poorly? Feeding her cold dishes and rice, how will she produce breast milk? What about my grandson being hungry?"

Mom: "Tag Yuwei, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's because your sister got injured, had no one by her side, so I went to take care of her temporarily."

Liang Yuwei: "Whose fault is it that she has no one by her side? Isn't it her own fault, at her age, not getting married and still living off her parents. Now, coincidentally, she got injured during my confinement period. I can clearly see she's jealous of me, doing it on purpose. Everyone knows how important the confinement period is for a woman, if it's not done properly, it will affect the rest of my life."

Mom: "Yuwei, your sister is not the person you think she is, it's all because mom didn't handle things properly, it's mom's fault."

Grandmother: "Tag mom, don't go tomorrow, she's an adult, if she doesn't die, she can take care of herself. If anything happens to Yuwei's health, I will hold you accountable."

The group fell silent for about five minutes, and my cousin who was close to me couldn't stand it and tagged Liang Yuwei.
