My Daughter’s Birthday Gift Was a Death Note

At my daughter's birthday party, someone brought up that she'd just placed first in her grade, and everyone started praising how smart she was.

My mother-in-law let out a cold snort.

"What's the point of a girl studying so hard? She's just going to get married off in the end."

"And this daughter-in-law of mine has no sense. Throwing this big a party for a girl's birthday, do you know how much that costs?"

"Pouring all her energy into that money-loser. She'd do better to learn from Wanda, her brother's wife, and figure out how to have a son."
