Renting a house from Mrs. Thu, Ms. Sim did not expect that just a few months later she would become her daughter-in-law. 21 years of being a daughter-in-law was a happy time for both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Having been a daughter-in-law for 21 years, Ms. Ngo Thi Sim (HCMC) is still a wonderful daughter-in-law in the eyes of her in-laws. They even affirm that they are very lucky to have such a daughter-in-law.
The circumstances in which Ms. Sim met Mr. Nguyen Duc Anh were quite special. At that time, she came from the countryside to Saigon to work as a factory worker and came to his house to rent a room.
Mrs. Phung Thi Thu - Sim's mother-in-law - did not have much impression of her at that time. A few months later, when she went to collect the rent, she heard her grandchildren say, "Thu's son likes Sim, he stays until late every night."
Mrs. Thu's first thought at that time was that she was afraid that her son would do something stupid and make other people's daughters suffer. Therefore, she called both Thu and her son to her house to talk about what happened.
When both of them said "we truly love each other", without hesitation, she urged Sim to call her family to inform them so she could arrange the wedding.
Ms. Sim married Ms. Thu just a few months after falling in love with Mr. Duc Anh.
A month later, the wedding took place. Many people also gossiped, thinking that Ms. Sim was pregnant first so they had to get married in a hurry. Before that, there was also a wealthy family that wanted to marry their daughter to him but Mr. Duc Anh did not agree.
Mrs. Thu and her husband considered it fate, and never considered the matter of social status. "We let our daughter marry whoever she loves, as long as she is a good daughter-in-law. When I learned about Sim's situation, I felt even more sorry for her."
She shared that her daughter-in-law lost her father early, her mother was sick and she lived with her siblings. She also did not have much education, only studying until grade 9 and then dropping out.
When she became a daughter-in-law, Sim was likened to “a blank sheet of paper” by Mrs. Thu. In terms of cooking, at first she cooked for her daughter-in-law because she went out early and came home late. Later, Mrs. Thu gradually taught her, from family dishes to preparing feasts.
“The good thing is that my child is very hard-working and learns quickly. Later on, when the family has parties and holidays, my child will take care of everything,” she said.
Mrs. Thu and her husband praised their daughter-in-law for being virtuous and gentle. In more than 20 years of being a daughter-in-law, she has never once disobeyed her parents-in-law.
Because of that trait, her parents loved their daughter-in-law very much. When she gave birth to two children, they did not hesitate to take care of the children from morning till night so she could go to work.
During her confinement period, her father-in-law washed the children's clothes himself, and her mother-in-law tried her best to cook nutritious meals for the children.
As a factory worker, she often has to work overtime, so many days she has to leave the house early in the morning, when the children are still awake, and return home at 8-9 pm, when the children have already gone to bed.
Mr. Nguyen Chinh Dang, her father-in-law, said: "The more it is like that, the more you have to love your daughter-in-law, you cannot blame her."
Ms. Sim is a woman of few words but has ways of expressing her love that move her parents-in-law.
Mrs. Thu said that every morning, when she came home from exercising, her daughter-in-law would prepare a bowl of noodles or pho for her to eat for breakfast. When she had to have spinal surgery, Ms. Sim also took a month off to take care of her in the hospital.
“Everyone thought the daughter-in-law was a girl and praised her for being so filial. Some people said, ‘Marry her to my son. My son is 34 years old, unmarried, and a director.’ Only when the daughter-in-law brought her grandchild in did they realize I was joking.”
Mr. Dang and Mrs. Thu praised their gentle and filial daughter-in-law.
But what made her feel sorry for her daughter-in-law the most was the lack of love and care from her parents. Thinking about this many times, she burst into tears but did not dare to tell her daughter-in-law, afraid that she would feel hurt.
“When giving birth, everyone wants their mother to take care of them, but the mother-in-law is sick and cannot come. Since the mother-in-law passed away, the siblings have only come to visit once or twice. I feel sorry for my daughter-in-law who has no one to take care of her, so I always try to make it up to her.”
That's why whenever the couple has conflicts, Mrs. Thu and Mr. Dang always side with their daughter-in-law.
"Someone raised their daughter for decades to marry into our family, we have to protect her and especially never say anything that would hurt our grandparents" - Mr. Dang said.
“My daughter-in-law is alone here, while my son has a whole family. If everyone rushes to talk about my daughter-in-law, how can people survive? I am also a woman, I have been a daughter-in-law, a sister-in-law, and now a mother-in-law, so I understand…” – Mrs. Thu shared her heartfelt words.
She even always encouraged her daughter-in-law to speak up and not let her husband bully her.
Whenever she saw her daughter-in-law giving all her money to her husband, she told her: "Women must save 10% for themselves to protect themselves. 'A woman with 5 children does not fully understand her husband's heart'. She does not know what the future holds."
At the end of episode 419 of Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law, Mrs. Thu and her husband gave their daughter-in-law "winged" compliments.
Mr. Dang thanked his daughter-in-law for bringing happiness to him and his wife, his son and his grandchildren. “Your parents are always proud to have a daughter-in-law like you,” he said.
Ms. Sim also expressed her gratitude to her in-laws, which she had never expressed, for treating her like a daughter.
