A long time ago, a girl named Li-li got married and went to live with her
hus-and and her mother-in-law. In a very short time, Li-li Iound that she could
not get along with her mother-in-law at all. %heir personalities were very
diIIerent, and Li-li was angered -y many oI her mother-in-law`s ha-its. In
addition, her mother-in-law constantly criticised her.
Days passed days, and weeks passed weeks. Li-li and her mother-in-law
never stopped arguing and Iighting. But what made the situation even worse
was that, according to Chinese tradition, Li-li had to -ow to her mother-in-law
and o-ey her every wish. All the anger and unhappiness in the house were
causing the poor hus-and great distress. He did not know what to do; on the
one hand was his mother and on the other was his wiIe, -oth oI whom he loved
dearly. He could not tell his mother not to pick on his wiIe who was not Iilial.
Finally, Li-li could not stand her mother-in-law`s -ad temper and
dictatorship any longer, and she decided to do something a-out it. Li-li could
not turn to her hus-and Ior help, so she decided to seek help elsewhere. She
went to see her Iather`s good Iriend, Mr. Huang, who sold her-s. She told him
the situation and asked iI he would give her some poison so that she could solve
the pro-lem once and Ior all. Mr. Huang did not look surprised nor did he
scold Li-li. In Iact, he nodded in sympathy -ut did not say anything.
He went into the -ack room, and returned in a Iew minutes with a packet oI
her-s. He told Li-li, 'You can`t use a quick-acting poison to get rid oI your
mother-in-law -ecause that would cause people to -ecome suspicious.
%hereIore, I have given you a num-er oI her-s that will slowly poison her -ody.
very other day prepare some soup with meat and put a little oI these her-s in
her serving. ow, in order to make sure no-ody suspects you when she dies,
you must -e very careIul and act very Iriendly towards her. Don`t argue with
her, o-ey her every wish and treat her like a queen.
Li-li was -oth happy and relieved. Finally, there was going to -e a solution
to the pro-lem. She thanked Mr. Huang proIusely and hurried home to start her
plot oI murdering her mother-in-law. Weeks went -y, and months went -y, and
every other day, Li-li served the specially-treated Iood to her mother-in-law.
She remem-ered what Mr. Huang had said a-out avoiding suspicion, so she
controlled her temper, o-eyed her mother-in-law and treated her like her
mother.
AIter six months had passed, the whole household had changed. Li-li
practised controlling her temper so much that she Iound that she almost never
got mad or upset. She hadn`t had an argument in six months with her mother-
in-law, who now seemed much kinder and easier to get along with.
%he mother-in-law`s attitude toward Li-li changed and she -egan to love Li-
li like her own daughter. She kept telling Iriends and relatives that Li-li was the
-est daughter-in-law one could ever Iind. Li-li and her mother-in-law were
now treating each other like a real mother and daughter. Li-li`s hus-and was
very happy to see what was happening.
One day, a remorseIul Li-li came to see Mr. Huang and asked Ior his help
again. She said, 'Dear Mr. Huang, please help me to keep the poison Irom

killing my mother-in-law. She`s changed into such a nice woman, and I love
her like my own mother. I do not want her to die -ecause oI the poison I gave
her.
Mr. Huang smiled and nodded his head. 'Li-li, there`s nothing to worry
a-out. I never gave you any poison. %he her-s I gave you were supplements to
improve her health. %he only poison was in your mind and your attitude
towards her, -ut that has -een all washed away -y the love you gave her.
