Comment: << review queue entry 50656 - submitted by 'monigeria' >>
MoE:
忍氣吞聲侍奉公婆的媳婦,日子熬久了,總有一天也會成為權大威風的婆婆。比喻受盡委屈者,終會苦盡甘來,一逞威風。
如:「像咱們這些小教員,何時才能媳婦熬成婆,當上校長呢?」

Can't think of any good equivalent

Editor: thanks, I submitted this entry to the queue 4 months ago, but I like your wording so I'll merge it with mine.
