When Vaida married Ruzhe, his father-in-law came up to him and said:
- Keep in mind, Vaida, my daughter Ruzha doesn’t know how to do anything, she’s not accustomed to housework, she doesn’t understand anything about gypsy work, everything in our house was done for her.
Vaida did not answer him, but took his wife and left his father-in-law’s house. Vaida pitched a tent in the forest, lit a fire, and Ruzha was sitting on the cart, waiting for Vaida to take her out of there.
Vaida Ruzha took him in his arms, brought him to the fire and sat him down right by the fire, and he himself began tossing branches into the fire! Rouge felt hot. She shouts:
- Pull me away from the fire, Vaida, otherwise I can’t bear it! And he doesn’t seem to hear. Soon the clothes on Rouge will catch fire. She couldn’t stand it, jumped up and ran from the fire.
Vaida then approaches her and says:
“It turns out that your father deceived me, since you have risen from the ground yourself, which means you can run the household yourself.”
From then on, it was as if Ruzha had been replaced, and she became such a mistress that Vaida couldn’t stop looking at her. And in the gypsy business she had no equal.
A year passed, and Vaida and Ruzha went to Ruzha’s father. Vaida didn’t have a horse at that time, so he ordered his wife to harness herself to the cart and carry all her belongings, while he himself climbed onto the cart and just waved his whip.
When Ruzhi’s father saw this, he became cold. And Vaida comes up to him and, laughing, says:
- It turns out that you were wrong, father-in-law, when you said such things about your daughter, you see, I taught your Ruzha how to live like a gypsy. What did you think? Why did I hire you as your employee?
No, I did not enter your house as a worker, but as a son-in-law. I don’t need your wealth, I’m not poor myself.
