Translation (Gun Mai) The title is a bad daughter-in-law. Long long ago, there was a village. In the village, there was a family in a house. The family lived happily. There were a father, a mother, and a son. There was also a grandmother who was the mother of the father. They were living together. One day, when the father went to the forest to collect firewood, he was bitten by a snake. The man was bitten by the snake and died. After the man died, the family faced difficulty because no one made money and the man was the main person who took care of the family. Now, only the woman who was the mother of the man, her daughter-in-law, and her grandchild left. The daughter-in-law did not love her mother-in-law. She did not love the mother of her husband, the mother-in-law. The mother-in-law was also blind and could not do herself alone. The mother-in-law could do nothing herself and was just living like that. The daughter-in-law did not like her mother-in-law anymore because, in the past, her husband made money but now she also needed to make money while she also needed to take care of the family. As she did not like her mother-in-law, she cooked and fed leeches. The mother-in-law could not see and just ate it. When she bit it, she said that "Daughter-in-law, this meat is very hard. What is this meat?" "Whatever meat it is, don't ask. Just eat what I cook and feed you," the daughter-in-law said. So, the mother-in-law did not talk anymore and just ate it because she was blind. Later, the mother-in-law was also fed the soup, which was included insects that lived on the trees. The mother-in-law also ate it because she was blind. One day, the mother-in-law died. After the mother-in-law died, the villagers prepared to bury her and when they carried the dead body, no one could carry it. The village leaders discussed that "Why it happens? Let's ask a family member to try to carry." As the grandchild was still very young, only the daughter-in-law was left to carry. When the daughter-in-law carried the dead body of her mother-in-law, the dead body hugged tightly the daughter-in-law and put on the dead body. Although everybody tried to break the daughter-in-law from the dead body, no one could do it. Therefore, they had to bury the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law together.
