「災難だったわねぇ真治、不甲斐ない嫁を貰ったばっかりに。みゆさん、居候に休む暇なんてないですからね？」夫が解雇され借金まで作って転がり込んだ義実家、着くなり私をいびり始める義母。「お義父さんすみません、お世話になります…」 「全部真治のせいです。…苦労かけて申し訳ない」居場所のない義実家で、お義父さんの優しさだけが、私の心の拠り所だった。

"What a misfortune for Shinji, having married such a useless wife. Miyu, you don't get a moment's rest when you're a freeloader, you know?" My husband was fired and we ended up in debt, so we moved in with my in-laws, and as soon as we arrived, my mother-in-law started tormenting me. "I'm sorry, Father-in-law, thank you for taking care of us…" "It's all Shinji's fault… I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble." In my in-laws' house, where I felt like I didn't belong, my father-in-law's kindness was the only thing that gave me comfort.
