On Mother's Day, I Took My Mother-in-law to Buy Gold

Mother's Day.

I had just gotten off work when my mother-in-law came up to me.

"Mother's Day, you know. Can my daughter-in-law take me to buy some gold?"

The cold light in her eyes was something I hadn't noticed in my past life.

"Of course, I was also planning to apologize to you. I'll personally explain to everyone tonight that the other day was just a minor squabble. You're still my good mother-in-law."

I said with great pomp.

My mother-in-law believed my words.

At the jewelry store, she picked out several tens of thousands worth of jewelry.

The store staff were all amazed.

"This lady, your daughter-in-law is really good to you. Many people's wedding gold is not even as much as what you're buying today."

My mother-in-law's vanity was satisfied.

I didn't mind, as after today, all these things would be mine.

After paying, my mother-in-law took my arm and walked out of the store.

It looked like a loving scene between mother and daughter-in-law.

In reality, we both wished the other would disappear.

…

It started to rain.

The jewelry store staff chased after us and handed us two umbrellas.

When we were hailing a cab, we found over a hundred people waiting ahead. So my mother-in-law suggested we walk back.

I saw it!

The Samoyed dog tied up at the convenience store's entrance was wagging its tail happily.

The dog wore a sign saying, "This dog bites."

My mother-in-law, who never liked dogs, squatted in front of the Samoyed under the umbrella.

In my past life, I had stood behind my mother-in-law.

Because of the umbrella's cover, I didn't see why the Samoyed went wild.

I only knew that when my mother-in-law pulled me to pet the dog, I got bitten.

This time, I stepped back three meters from my mother-in-law.

The Samoyed, already stressed from the presence of strangers, was growling.

It showed its teeth to keep her away from its territory. But my mother-in-law kept reaching out to pet its nose.

Samoyed growled lowly, with its eyes turning red.

My mother-in-law reached out to grab my hand.

She missed.

Instinctively turning her head, she was attacked by the dog.

"Stop! Stay!"
