On the day the woman entered the bridal chamber, she had put away her own shoes early. When the man took off his shoes and got into bed, the woman stepped on the man's shoes with both feet. Seeing this, the man chuckled and said that it was quite superstitious. However, the woman seriously said, "My mother said that if I step on a man's shoes, I will never be upset with him for the rest of my life." The man replied, "My mother also said that if a woman steps on a man's shoes, she will suffer and work hard for the man all her life."
The woman began to test the man's limits, starting with small things in daily life. She instructed the man to take the urine pot to empty the urine can, and he did everything. Whatever crops the woman wanted to plant in the field, the man planted them. For neighbors and acquaintances, the woman decided who to get closer to or farther from, and the man listened to her completely. While the man was chatting idly with others, when the woman shouted, the man returned obediently like a bull led by the nose. When the man was drinking with others, the woman just pulled his ear and dragged him home. Someone provoked the man, saying, "If this woman isn't beaten every three days, she'll tear off the tiles from the roof. You're not a real man if you let her control you without any masculine dignity! If she were my woman, I would slap her with two shoe soles!" The man calmly replied, "Bring your woman here, and I'd be willing to slap her with two shoe soles too." That person became flustered and said, "Do you understand what I'm saying? You were reborn as an old monk in the last life who has never seen a woman! You really don't resemble your father's offspring, afraid of your wife!"
Whenever there were major discussions in the village, as soon as the man showed up, people would say, "You can't make the final decision in this major discussion either, we should invite your wife instead." The man actually called his wife.
The woman felt very proud that she could control the man, until one day when she started gossiping about her mother-in-law near the man's ear. The man glared at her and roared, "Do you know why I don't hit you? It's because of my old mother. My mother had a tough life. My father had a violent temper and would curse and hit whenever something didn't go his way. He broke sticks as thick as arms and dismantled chairs. My mother endured a lifetime of hardship for us children. Every time I saw my mother being beaten, I vowed that after I married, I would never lay a finger on my wife. It's not that I fear you, but I remember what my mother said: women are meant to be cherished by men, not beaten by them."
The woman was shocked; she never imagined that the man had such a broad mind.
No matter where the man went to chat or drink with others, the woman no longer shouted or pulled his ears. Sometimes, she even handed him a bowl of water. Someone asked the man how he disciplined his wife. The man seriously replied, "A woman's mouth can be tamed through beating, but her heart is won through cherishing."
