There were two households per floor in this unit, but the lights in the two households on the 18th floor were on, so it was difficult to tell which room they had entered.
Thinking about this made me even more angry.
My mother was a full-time housewife and had endless housework to do every day.
A few years ago, she had a back problem, so I suggested to my dad that we should hire a servant.
We can afford to hire a servant, but my dad was disdainful of this, saying that there was nothing much to do at home, and there was no need to hire a servant.
My sister and I used to help with housework, but my sister was married and I was in college, so my mom had to do the housework by herself.
My father hired a servant for his mistress, but his wife took care of him for decades.

I returned home and my mom was still doing laundry.
"Mom, you can just put these clothes in the washing machine."
"These are all your dad's expensive clothes. He said the washing machine would damage them, so he asked me to wash them. You can have fun. I'll finish them quickly."
Back in my room, I wanted to cry.
