I chopped off my fifth finger three times.
I would like to talk to you about the story of a woman
in the book which I have read recently.
It's the kind of story that an average girl became
an old gangster's(Yakuza's)wife.
She was married to her husband(the Yakuza's boss)
for ten years, and separated from him.
There were some different incidents between them all that time.
She chopped off her fifth finger three times.
The reason why she did it is that she drew a clear line.
I'm impressed with her gritty spirit.
Whenever she had sex with another man other than
her husband,
she chopped off her fifth finger in order to draw a clear line.
She is daring, right?
She is sixty eight years old now.
I heard that she has already separated from
her husband and picked up her (common/normal/average)life.
