This episode begins with the episode when the author visited her husband’s parents’ house for the first time before marriage.
The author is bewildered when he is presented with a condition of marriage that he must take over the lessons class run by his mother-in-law when they meet for the first time.
To the author who already has a job, the mother-in-law says, “I will give you a job.In the future society, you cannot live without a job.”
In contrast to my mother-in-law, who has been surrounded by many people as a “teacher” and “instructor,” my mother was the type to devote herself to her hobbies alone. One of the hobbies of her biological mother, who had many hobbies such as her patchwork and knitting, was oil painting.
After my mother and brother passed away, I found an oil painting of my mother that my brother kept with care.
Many comments have been received, such as “I was drawn in” and “It’s heartbreaking to think of my older brother who cherished oil paintings.”
