Gave a ride on my tractor to a drenched old woman in rags — and she handed me a “stone”: “It will heat up on the day your end is near.” I laughed… until it warmed up yesterday morning.

Last summer brought such scorching days that the air above the field shimmered like a quivering sheet of water, and heat rose from the ground in a wavering haze that made every breath sear and drag. I was fixing my tractor right in the middle of the boundless field—the gearbox had failed, leaving the iron […]

Mother-in-law called a family council — the decision took 3 minutes, and life changed forever

Emma Nikolaevna had been bustling around the kitchen since early morning. Cutlets sizzled in the pan, and the oven breathed out the smell of apple pie. Olga followed her husband into the apartment, immediately caught the familiar aromas, and sighed. “Vit, something’s definitely up. Emma only bakes pie for special occasions.” “Oh, come on, Mom,” […]

— I bent my back at your parents’ dacha all summer while you were “relaxing” in the city! And what did they give me? A bucket of rotten potatoes?! Choke on your potatoes!

Sveta, accept nature’s bounty! Straight from the garden—courtesy of Mom and Dad!” Pavel’s voice—deliberately cheerful and ringing—burst into the apartment’s silence. A galvanized bucket clanged as it hit the laminate in the entryway, leaving a dirty, damp circle on the clean floor. Pavel himself beamed as if he hadn’t hauled in a bucket of potatoes […]

We’re not getting divorced. I’ll just move my new girlfriend and her child in here. There’s enough room in our house for everyone,” her husband said firmly.

She worked as an art historian and had her own small gallery. Her husband, Oleg, was a successful business consultant. Their huge country house, which they […]

“What do you mean, we’re getting divorced?” the husband asked his wife in surprise. “Because I gave money to my mother?”

Three hundred and eighty thousand!” Inessa slammed the bank statement onto the table, watching the white sheets scatter across the surface. “Rodion, where’s the money?!” Her husband didn’t even bother to tear his eyes away from the TV screen, continuing to flip through channels. “What money?” he muttered indifferently. “The very money we’ve been saving […]

After her workout, Vika hurried home—she’d promised her husband she’d make fish soup. When she walked into the apartment, she saw her husband, Leonid, sitting in the kitchen drinking wine.

Everything’s gotten to you? Yeah? Then I’m not holding you! Go live with your mother—there you never had to do anything, not work, not help around the house! Go on, and live it up!”

The cheap plastic remote hit the laminate with a dull thud and bounced under the coffee table. The sound wasn’t dramatic—more pitiful, fitting the whole scene. Maxim sprawled on the couch, laced his fingers behind his head, and stared at the ceiling with the air of a martyr being led to righteous execution. “You’ve nagged […]
