After all, Old Chen was a university professor, and his thoughts and speech were of a very high caliber. However, although his words were reasonable, he could never persuade his wife. After all, his wife had come up from hardship. When she married Old Chen, they had nothing, not even their own house, but rented one; the only electric device they had was a radio, no bicycle, and they lacked every other essential item for marriage like bicycles, watches, and sewing machines. They too had ascended from poverty. Now, they were considered moderately well-off. But compared to the Jiang Family, they were far behind.
