Daughter-in-law returns to hometown to give birth, mother-in-law tells the whole family about having to "raise daughter-in-law and grandchildren"

My husband works far away, so after giving birth, I went back to my husband's hometown to give birth, planning to stay there for only 1 month and then return to my parents' house. However, after only 2 weeks, someone came to visit my mother-in-law and told her that she had to try to earn money to "support her daughter-in-law" who had just given birth. After hearing that, all I wanted to do was take my baby and go straight to my parents' house.

My husband is in the army, working far from home. When I gave birth, he could only come home for a few days before going back to work.

My husband and I still rent a house in the city, so we decided to go back to the countryside to give birth. Like many other women, of course I wanted to go back to my parents' house to give birth.

My parents live alone in the countryside, are retired so they have a lot of free time to take care of me and my mother.

However, my husband's family is quite strict, requiring the daughter-in-law to return to her husband's family a few months before being allowed to return to her parents' house.

I discussed with my husband that we would go back to my parents' house for about a month, after the baby's full month, we would go back to my parents' house to spend the rest of our maternity leave until we could go back to work.

But after only 2 weeks of being home, I heard my mother-in-law complaining about everything. Day or night, I was still the one who took care of the children, she only took care of 3 meals a day.

I came back for a month so I gave my mother-in-law 5 million to pay for groceries but she didn't take it.

My mother-in-law owns a small grocery store. Whenever someone comes in to buy something, she says, "You have to work hard to support your daughter-in-law during her confinement period." She often complains about the expense, but I give her money and she doesn't take it.

I felt extremely uncomfortable. I had only been home for a few days, but my mother-in-law was already upset, regretting the money, and complaining about having to "raise her daughter-in-law".

Since my mother-in-law doesn't have any money, I still order meat, fish, and food to be delivered every day. I also pay for all the baby's diapers and milk. I don't understand how she can tell everyone that she has to "support her daughter-in-law". I just want the month to end quickly so I can go back to my parents' house.
