After two days, Inuyao began to lose her fear because Manay spoke quietly and helped with the chores. While the mistress loused the wife, Manay spoke gently. I'll be like a mother to you. I feel that way toward Binuhi. He is just a boy, and he wants a younger wife.
Men always do.
It is the woman's fate when we begin to get old. But Binuhi and I have children, and I do not want him to lose interest in them. That's why I come, and I hope you will not think that I have a grudge against you. When Inuyao finished lousing Manay's head, Manay offered to louse her husband's mistress. Inuyao turned her back to Manay and sat in front of the woman she had wronged.
