The Truth Comes Out

Mrs. Liu stood behind the security door of her house as usual, half squinting one eye, secretly watching everything in the neighbor's house through the cat's eye. Mrs. Liu's legs are a little faulty, walking is not very sharp, most of the time is alone at home, sometimes will move a small maza, sitting at the door of the unit chat. The only son has lived abroad for a long time, and since the death of her wife two years ago, she has become even lonelier, and when she hears a little movement, she will trot to the door on her legs and peek in the eyes of the cat, like a hungry hound, always holding its ears to look for prey. Mrs. Liu spends most of her day pondering the trivial matters between the neighbors, what else can she do now?

Mrs. Liu lives in a two-ladder and two-family unit building, and the male protagonist of the neighbor opposite, Mr. Wang, is a middle-aged man with a successful career, who is said to be the leader of a certain public institution, with power, dashing, rich, and very famous in the community. Every weekend, he would drive his luxury car out, and the people in the community secretly said that "Mr. Wang has a young and beautiful lover outside, and every weekend he will secretly date his lover."

Mr. Wang's wife Mrs. Wang is a person with a low level of education, a very simple look, who resigned many years ago and returned home as a full-time wife, obviously Mrs. Wang is a victim, in Mr. Wang's view, such a person as her, who looks at it? Besides, for some reason, neither of them had children. Everyone in the community knows that Mrs. Wang is a person who keeps to herself, and Mrs. Liu thinks the same way, and she is very sympathetic to her in her heart.

But on a weekend night, Mrs. Liu witnessed a very strange thing, a short, gray trench coat man, opened the neighbor's door, Mrs. Wang was at home alone, the strange man came to do something, there was actually her house key, Mrs. Liu was shocked to hold her half-open mouth with her hand, and suddenly became alert: "Mrs. Wang also has a lover!" After that, every weekend night, the small man always took the key to open the door by himself, while Mrs. Wang basically stayed at home all night and did not go out, and occasionally went out to buy something.

Mrs. Liu's mouth has always been fast, and since she knew the secret, she has been chatting at the door of the unit for longer and longer. The whole community soon learned the secret, some angrily accusing Mrs. Wang, while others were happy for her, taking it for granted that she treated her unfaithful husband in this way.

Despite the rumors in the community about this matter, the small man still went his own way and used the key to open Mrs. Wang's door every weekend. Mrs. Liu was still crawling behind the security door, squinting her eyes, and seemed to have become accustomed to such a scene.

Day by day, until the extraordinary day came, Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang were always at peace. One weekend morning, the bad news came, Mr. Wang died suddenly of a heart at home, and was sent to a hospital nearby, but he was not rescued.

After Mr. Wang's death, the small man never came again, and Mrs. Liu estimated that she was probably afraid of the crime. Neighbor Mrs. Liu, the more she thought about it, the more strange she became, and her sixth feeling told her that Mr. Wang's death was abnormal, and she decisively reported the case.

The police found in Mrs. Wang's home, a men's gray trench coat, a man's wig sunglasses, etc., Mrs. Wang also painfully said the truth: she always knew that her husband had a lover outside, and she also hoped that she had a lover to retaliate against her husband's betrayal, but she never had to play this role herself, Mrs. Wang said, her face was full of tears.

The truth of the case was finally revealed, Mr. Wang did die of a heart attack, and Mrs. Liu suddenly realized that it was no wonder that she had always seen them separately, and had never seen Mrs. Wang and a small man together.

There are many things in the world, and sometimes what you see with your own eyes is not the truth. Many things stand from different angles, and the results of the ideas are of course different from person to person, and it is easy to misunderstand without considering the position of the other party.
