New Year's Eve Tensions

  • 💬 The second wife (mistress) is described as a "chatterbox," constantly nagging and causing annoyance, even on New Year's Day.
  • 🏡 Despite the festive occasion, the atmosphere at home is far from peaceful due to her disruptive behavior and refusal to help.

The Second Wife's Disruptive Presence

  • ⚠️ The second wife is characterized as lazy and avoids housework, preferring to enjoy others' labor.
  • 💥 Abu keeps her separate to prevent her hot temper from harming his first wife and children, understanding her tendency to cause trouble.
