How To Treat In-laws by ermycrin(m): 4:28am On Oct 30, 2013
A long time ago in
China , a girl named Li-Li got married & went
to live with her husband and mother-in-law.
In a very short time, Li-Li found that she
couldn't get along with her mother-in-law at
all. Their personalities were very different, and
Li-Li was angered by many of her mother-in-
law's habits. In addition, she criticized Li-Li
constantly. Days passed, and weeks passed.
Li-Li and her mother-in-law never stopped
arguing and fighting. But what made the
situation even worse was that, according to
ancient Chinese tradition, Li-Li had to bow to
her mother-in-law and obey her every wish. Al
l the anger and unhappiness in the house
was causing Li-Li's poor husband
greatdistress. Finally, Li-Li could not stand her
mother-in- law's bad temper
anddictatorshipany longer, and she decided
to do something about it. Li-Li went to see
her father's good friend, Mr. Huang, who
soldherbs. She told him the situation and
asked if he would give her some poison so
that she could solve the problem once and for
all. Mr. Huang thought for awhile, and finally
said, "Li-iL, I will help you solve your problem,
but you must listen to me and obey what I tell
you." Li-Li said,"Yes, Mr. Huang, I will do
whatever you tell me to do. "Mr. Huang went
into the back room, and returned in a few
minutes with a package of herbs. He told Li-Li,
"You can't use a quick-acting poison to get
rid of your mother- in-law, because that
wouldcause people to become suspicious.
Therefore, I have given you a number of
herbs that will slowly build up poison in her
body. Every other day prepare some delicious
meal and put a little of theseherbs in her
serving. Now, in order to make sure that
nobody suspect you, when she dies, you must
be very careful to act very friendly towards
her. "Don't argue with her, obey her every
wish, and treat her like a queen." Li-Li was so
happy. She thanked Mr. Huang and hurried
home to start her plot of murdering her
mother- in-law. Weeks went by, and months
went by, and every other day, Li- Liserved the
specially treated food to her mother-in-law.
She remembered what Mr. Huang had said
about avoiding suspicion, so she controlled
her temper, obeyed her mother-in- law, and
treated her like her own mother. After six
months had passed, the whole household
had changed. Li-Li had practiced controlling
her temper so much that she found that she
almost never got mad or upset. She hadn't
had an argument with her mother-in-law in
six months because she now seemed much
kinder and easier to get along with. The
mother-in-law'sattitude toward Li-Li
changed, and she beganto love Li-Li like her
own daughter. She kept telling friends and
relatives that Li-Li was the best daughter-in-
law one could ever find.Li-Li and her mother-
in-law were now treating each other like
areal mother and daughter. Li-Li's husband
was very happy to see what was happening.
One day, Li-Li came to see Mr. Huang and
asked for his help again She said, "Dear Mr.
Huang, please help me to keep off the poison
from killing my mother-in- law. She's changed
into such a nicewoman, and I love her like my
own mother. I do not want her to die
because of the poison I gave her." Mr. Huang
smiled and nodded his head. "Li-Li, there's
nothing to worry about. I never gave you any
poison. The herbs I gave you were vitamins to
improve her health. The only poison was in
your mind and your attitude toward her, but
that has been all washed away by the love
which you gave to her." HAVE YOU REALIZED
that how you treat others is exactly how they
will treat you ? There is a wise IGBO PROVERB
saying: "The person who loves others will also
be loved in return ." God might be trying to
work in another person's life through you
