A Wife confronts rumour spreaders especially Those who try to destroy other people’s households. She claims that the rumors are spread by people who are obsessed with the private lives of other people. They imagine stories that they interpret to suit themselves. Her bad experience in this area leads her to advise other couples to downplay people’s talks.
