Mother-in-law hears reason, apologizes
A man's new mother-in-law had some apologizing to do after she stormed into his workplace and accused him of being unfaithful.
The startled boss nearly dismissed his employee, surnamed Chen, over the incident in Wuhan, Hubei's capital, late last week.
Chen had been busy at work and had not gone home for a few days. That's what prompted his mother-in-law's visit.
After she learned the truth, she had to apologize to Chen's boss to keep Chen employed.
Chen also apologized for having ignored his newly married wife and mother-in-law. He spent more than 1,000 yuan ($128) to take his wife and mother-in-law out sightseeing over the weekend.
