00:00In ancient China, girls who got married lived in the husband's house and served him and his parents.
00:11It so happened that one girl, after the wedding, was unable to bear the constant reproach of her mother-in-law,
00:21and she decided to get rid of her.
00:26The girl went to her herbalist, who was a friend of her father, and she said to him,
00:34I can't live with my mother-in-law anymore.
00:38She drives me crazy.
00:41Could you help me? I will pay you well.
00:46What can I do for you? asked the herbalist.
00:52I want you to sell me poison.
00:56I will poison my mother-in-law and get rid of all troubles, she answered.
01:04After much thought, the herbalist said,
01:12OK, I will help you, but you must understand two things.
01:19First, you can't poison your mother-in-law right away, because people will guess that happened.
01:29I will give you herbs that will gradually kill her, and no one will think that she was poisoned.
01:41Secondly, to finally avoid any suspicion, you must tame your anger, learn to respect her, love, listen, and be patient.
01:56Then no one will suspect you when she dies.
02:02The girl agreed to everything, took the herbs and began to hand them to her mother-in-law's food.
02:12In addition, she learned to control herself, listen to her mother-in-law and respect her.
02:20When she saw how her daughter-in-law's attitude towards her changed, she fell in love with the girl with all her heart.
02:32She told everyone that her daughter-in-law was the best, the kind one could only dream of.
02:43After six months, the relationship between them became close, like between a blue mother and her daughter.
02:56And then one day, the girl came to the herbalist and begged.
03:02For God's sake, please save my mother-in-law from the poisoned high fever.
03:10I didn't want to kill her. She has become the most wonderful mother-in-law and I love her.
03:19The herbalist smiled and replied,
03:24Don't worry, I didn't give you any poison. What I gave you was just species.
03:33The poison was only in your head and you got rid of it yourself.
