親家母
- co-mother-in-law
有民妻不識鏡。夫市之而歸。妻取照之，驚告其母曰：「某郎又索一婦歸也。」其母亦照曰：「又領親家母來也。」 [Literary Chinese, trad.]
有民妻不识镜。夫市之而归。妻取照之，惊告其母曰：「某郎又索一妇归也。」其母亦照曰：「又领亲家母来也。」 [Literary Chinese, simp.]- From: Taiping Guangji (Extensive Records of the Taiping Era), 978 CE
- Yǒu mín qī bù shí jìng. Fū shì zhī ér guī. Qī qǔ zhào zhī, jīng gào qí mǔ yuē: “Mǒu láng yòu suǒ yī fù guī yě.” Qí mǔ yì zhào yuē: “Yòu lǐng qìngjiamǔ lái yě.” [Pinyin]
- A peasant bought a mirror at the market and gave it as a present to his wife, who had never seen a mirror before. At her first glance, she cried out in alarm, “My lord has brought home a new wife!” Her mother came running in, grabbed the mirror, looked, and burst out indignantly, “Not only a new wife, but the mother-in-law as well!”
