In the past, I thought I was not wrong and that rumors would be self-defeating, so I didn't explain.
Later, I realized that the rumors were getting worse and worse. When I took my daughter out, I was always pointed and talked about.
Neighbors who used to greet me would hide when they saw me, and they wouldn't let their daughters play with my daughter either.
My daughters went to the kindergarten in the community, but they were getting more and more unhappy.
One time, my eldest daughter's arm was bruised and her face was scratched.
I asked her and found out that the children in the kindergarten had been calling her a bastard, saying that her mother was a mistress, and she would also be a mistress in the future. They told her not to play with her and even led others to hit her.
I went to find my daughter's homeroom teacher.
The teacher stared at me and said, "You're afraid of being called a mistress even though you are one? The original wife has come to your door, and her daughter is 8 years old. Your eldest daughter is only 6 years old. If you're not a mistress, who is?"
