A vengeful spirit cannot get the problem solved, it just makes things worst.

There has always been an unhealthy phenomenon occurred in our society either during the old feudal times or the modern world today. Very often, if the wife is unable to give birth within few years after the marriage, the husband will always have a strong desire to look for a second wife. This situation is not healthy as it may eventually affect the harmony of a family.

Once, there was a loving couple who was married for years but unfortunately, the wife was not blessed with a child. The husband who desperately hoped for a child began feeling uneasy and discomfort. He was getting more anxious thinking of having a child when the time passed gradually.

The husband mustered all his courage to plead her wife for allowing him to marry a second wife. The wife felt hardly and hurt to let her beloved husband to marry another woman. She did not want to share his husband’s love with others.

Her husband knelt down in front of her and began pleading, “Dear, please let me marry a second wife to have our first child. I promise not to ignore you. I know it’s hard for you to accept this, but I’m sure you’re also hoping a child to call you “mom”, right?”

Her wife was touched by his sincerity and finally she fulfilled her husband’s wish to marry another woman.

The following day, her husband brought home a beautiful woman.

The woman said, “This must be your wife.” She then turned to her and greeted in a soft tone.

The wife felt hurt but had no choice to let her husband to have happy moments with this woman.

Her husband held the woman’s left hand and said to her wife, “Dear, let me introduce, this is my future second wife. We’re going to marry next week.”

Hearing upon this, the wife felt that she was trapped in a dark room. Her face turned pale as if she had encountered a ghost.

When the marriage ceremony was held, the wife did not turn up as she fell sick on the bed. She could not bear on thinking how the second wife had stolen her husband’s heart.

Thinking and thinking, she became irritating and upset.

Her husband did not keep to his promise. He paid more attention to his second wife rather than on her. She found that her beloved husband started roaring at her like a hungry tiger and he even treated her cruelly.
