Complaint Post

I was so angry yesterday, I really couldn't communicate with the old lady at home. Here's our conversation: Mother-in-law: When is the Earth God's birthday? When should we offer sacrifices? Me: Lunar August 14th, after 11 AM. Mother-in-law: Who offers sacrifices at night? We always do it in the morning. Me: Isn't it okay to offer sacrifices after 11 AM? We also have to offer mooncakes and fruits the next morning. Mother-in-law: (She started getting unhappy) Go ask your dad when to offer sacrifices, or ask someone else how they do it. Me: We don't offer that many sacrifices at our house. (Inner thought: Not as many as you country folks.) Mother-in-law: She said only the Three Realms God is offered sacrifices early. (I guess many people don't know about the Three Realms God.) Every family has a different way of offering sacrifices. Asking others won't necessarily give you the same answer. Why can't I offer them early if I want to? And she told me to ask others. So bossy. Offering sacrifices is up to the individual, the intention is what matters most. She said she can't communicate with me, but I think talking to you is more tiring. Old-fashioned, country bumpkin. So traditional. How many times a year do you offer sacrifices? You believe so much in gods and buddhas, I don't think you have any compassion. Your mouth is so nasty, you never say anything good. I can't be bothered to talk to you anymore.
