Short story: So much in one word

The son-in-law does not say anything when he goes to his in-laws' house. The sisters-in-law come to joke and joke; he does not say anything loudly. Then the father-in-law goes and says to the son-in-law's father, "Look, your son comes to our house and sits quietly. He does not talk at all. It is strange how he feels. Everyone says that the son-in-law is stupid." The father said, "My son talks quite well at home! Well, I will scold him a lot."

When he came home, the father called his son and said, "Why don't you go to your in-laws' house and talk to him? I will go there and talk to everyone. I will laugh and joke with the sisters-in-law. Only then will people say, you are a good son-in-law!" The son bowed his head. The father understood that this time the son would go to his in-laws' house and do as he was told. The son-in-law has come to his in-laws' house on the Eid holiday. He has come and is sitting quietly in a corner of the living room.

The father-in-law came and asked, "What, Babaji! Why are you sitting quietly? Is everyone at home well?" The son-in-law replied, "Well, where is he? For the past few days, my father has been losing his mind. He comes with a stick in his hand and beats anyone he sees." The father-in-law said, "But that's too bad! I'll go see your father tomorrow."
