Against Julid's In-laws

Storms Due to Chicken Meat

"Put it there, Mommy."

"Ready, baby."

At ten o'clock in the morning my husband and I were back from the market carrying a stove and some vegetables, tofu, tempeh and chicken. Not only that, I also bought a few glasses and dishes.

Cookware I do not buy, because I already have, can be from a gift at the wedding. Some of them are already in the use of my mother-in-law, some I keep in the room.

"Well, did you buy a stove ?" Asked the mother-in-law with a cynical face looking at me.

"Who, Ma. Time I lied. So, you don't have to bother anymore to cook for me the same Mas Bagas. I'll cook it myself."

"Good, no trouble." Mom went straight to her kitchen.

Finished putting the gas on, my husband rests first. Today he wants to focus on helping me edit the video. We made a mini vlog. We also want to focus on Tik Tak, so get rich quickly and not be underestimated in-laws.

"Well, it's really good to cook chicken. Ask for yah," said Mbak Dita.

"Yes Ma'am, if it's ripe I'll call." My answer is a little lie.

When Mbak Dita left my kitchen, I immediately provided a bushel to store cooked dishes. While on the plate only leaves the claw and tempe. I brought it to my room.

"Juice!"

"Juice!" Shouted Mbak Dita.

"Bak Dita why, baby ?"

"Don't know, Mom. Yes, just focus upload the same ngedit. About Mbak Dita let me go forward. Then, if you're hungry, eat well."

"Ready, Honey. Thanks." Thanks."

I went to the kitchen. What's with my sister-in-law is already given food, her mouth is still noisy. I should've made mercon sauce, let Dita dower's lips kayak with firecrackers.

"Why, Ma'am ?"

"Where's the chicken ? You cooked chicken thighs with wings. Why is there only a claw at the table ?"

"Oh, the wings have flown into my stomach, Ma'am. If his thighs, already swallowed Mas Bagas."

"Jeez, keep making mama where ?"

"That's a clerk."

"Damn, ogah. It's cooking again, hungry mother."

"Chicken cooking ? People are over, Mother. I cooked it for just the two."

"You're so stingy, Ayu !" The mother-in-law's touch approached.

"Twenty thousand mana buy enough food. Mbak Dita is a scholar of a lot of money, so treat is the occupant of this house. Time to be lazy lawyer aka unemployment many events like me." I said with a smile as sweet as sugar, plus a pretentious and cute expression.

"Udah don't make a fuss. Ayu, here's fifty grand. Don't count as a person. You stay free here, electricity, shower, BAK, BAB, that's a lot of it. I'm just asking for money to buy chicken, here."

Well, slab once my mother-in-law by the way. During this time every payday he was always given a million to a million and a half for kitchen money and electricity. Speaking of it as if I'm a prisoner who hitchhikes for free. Fortunately, I don't have high blood. Still can be calm and patient facing the ancient in-laws of the Dutch colonial era. Patience Ayu, patience...

"Nothing, Mom. Money to buy a stove. Also, in the refrigerator there is the same tofu tempe, Ayu buyin for mom. Cook it."

"Wah-wah. You eat well, while we eat destitute people. You also ride here, not most styles. Buy a camera can, help parents cook can't."

It felt like the rhino horn wanted to immediately emerge from the head.

"Mr... Ma'am, let's be careful. Udah, eat only the claw, or not yes the debt at the Bu Ijah stall. If there's no money, what do you want to buy ?"

"Lye ! Wait !"

I took out a disappearing stance to dampen the emotions. Not funny fuss just because of chicken meat. Better to go in the room, calm the heart. Just let Ma'am Dita scream. He wouldn't dare to run over me, afraid of being charged with the same debt as Mas Bagas.

"Why, baby ?"

"Obsually, your mother likes to fight. Just focus, Mas."

"What is Samperin, let Mbak Dita not make you sprain again."

"No need, Mas. There's even getting hotter. Focus on edit. I'm going to collapse, tired of being out in the market."

"OK, Honey. Patience well, soon enough payday. Thank God this month can be three millions."

"Alhamdulillah, the spirit is always my husband."

"This is all thanks to your sincere prayers and patience, dear. I'll work hard so you'll be happy to be Mas's wife."

"Bismillah, we can get through this difficult economic time huh, ma'am."

Mas Bagas kissed my forehead, hugged me for a moment and refocused.

The prayer of a sincere wife will be granted little by little.

When you see your husband trying to work hard and be responsible, it has become a happiness for me as a wife.

A great man is not a man who has a lot of money, but a man who is responsible.

We do need money in the household, but love and cohesiveness of husband and wife are the main capital.

"Mom, Bagas is payday. It's a million and a half, pay for electricity and housework."

"Alhamdulillah... Thanks, Gas. Just so your father does not love money. Not to mention your wife who often cooks good but not in share."

"Eat him, saving his money, ma'am. Let's watch me eat chicken, mom can buy it too. Yes, sorry not to share, usually mom is too. All I know is self-sufficient. Hehe."

My mother-in-law's eyes glared at me, but she didn't touch my words too much. He was too focused on the money he was holding, kissing his scent. After that, go to the room to save the money.

"Honey, this is one and a half million for you. Just use five hundred thousand to buy skin care and makeup or whatever you want. For money everyday later Mas love again from the results of narik ojek."

"Ready, my beloved husband. May the blessings be upon her."

"Amen."

I hug my husband happily. This is how good it is to be grateful. Indeed, that money is not much, but as a wife must appreciate the living of the husband. Not even blaspheming him.

My principle, if we can make a husband happy, then he will also be eager to make a living.

Enough is not enough, it is relative. As long as we work and pray, there must be sustenance. If you keep thinking about tomorrow and tomorrow, fear of lack, then there will be not enough.

It is better to save little by little, trying to increase income, but still basic needs should not be reduced. Eat is number one. Do not get thin dry because it saves too much. It's called self-torture.
