Standing Up for a Daughter

About the story

After my parents died, I married Chen Xu, who seemed an honest man. On the tenth day after I gave birth, my mother-in-law brought a basin of dirty clothes and ordered me to wash them by hand. I argued with her, only for my husband to slap me. I knew they were bullying me because both my parents were gone, I had no one to rely on and I now had a child. They thought they could control me for the rest of my life. What they did not know was that my mother had left me a telephone number before she died.
