I want to share a story with you that sounds like a novel, but it's actually true. A woman had been married to her husband for four years, but she couldn't get pregnant. Her mother-in-law was very mean to her, always giving her the cold shoulder, making her feel like a burden to the family. But one day, her husband showed her a medical report that said he was infertile. Suddenly, her mother-in-law's attitude towards her changed 180 degrees. She started treating her like a daughter, not letting her do any household chores. The husband told his wife that if she wanted a divorce, he would respect her decision. But the wife didn't think it was a big deal, since her husband and mother-in-law were being nice to her, and she just went along with it. Less than two years later, the mother-in-law passed away. When the wife was cleaning up her belongings, she found another medical report. It turned out that she was the one who was infertile. She was full of doubts and went to ask her husband about it. The husband said, 'I didn't want you to suffer, so I faked a medical report.' The wife was shocked by the news and didn't know what to do. She felt betrayed by her husband's lie, but she also understood that he was trying to protect her. A year later, the couple adopted a child. The child was actually the husband's biological child with another woman. The wife felt that this was her husband's way of making it up to her, but she also knew that the child's existence made her feel complex emotions. This story tells us that sometimes there are lies and betrayals in love and marriage, but what's most important is how we face and deal with these problems. The wife chose to forgive and understand her husband, knowing that his intentions were good. This story also makes us think, what is true love and marriage? Is it only based on complete honesty and transparency?
