When They Chose the Housekeeper Over Me

I rarely went back to my hometown during vacation, but after dinner, my dad ordered me to wash the dishes.

I froze. "Don't we have a housekeeper?"

My mom frowned. "Laura works so hard taking care of us every day. Since you're back, you should let her rest. You should do everything."

But I couldn't understand.

"I'm paying her to be our housekeeper—isn't that what she's here for? Why should I pay money and still do the work myself?"

This comment made the housekeeper cry and angered my parents.
