Summary
[If your husband cheats, should you give him a way out?]
At the banquet, the wives began discussing this question.
My answer drew a slew of strange, mocking glances.
“Mrs. Lu, did I hear you wrong? Even you say no?”
This remark sparked a burst of laughter.
I laughed too.
After all, everyone knows.
I am the most weak and useless legitimate wife in the circle.
Later, when they recalled this scene, they were horrified to realize.
The “way out” I spoke of, and the “way out” they spoke of.
Were not the same.
