"For the sole purpose of her husband's face saving, a highly qualified
and talented wife will not seek a job to support her starving family,
especially during the period in which her husband is out of work. She
her husband's face by telling others that they cannot accept an invitation to dinner on the grounds that her husband is very busy working even at night. She urges her husband to take his time finding a job by telling him that they have enough money to last a long time, despite the fact that they can survive only a few days with what they have. A very faithful and good wife never tells her own mother that her son-in-law is out of work; however, she
also manages to borrow money"

new school year at the hagwon, the new head teacher made the schedule, did some major booboos, and in front of the Director, tried to pass it off on me, even I had nothing to do with anything (luckily the director knows me).
