"Why did you suddenly come back?"
Mr. Hao was quite surprised.
"They said the report came down and they're coming back to get married."
"marry?"
Sister-in-law Hao's shout woke up Brother Hao and Hao Mei, who were sleeping inside.
"Dad's off work, but my sister-in-law's voice is still so loud."

They wanted a single-story house with two rooms, which would be more spacious. Hao Mei's family lived in a tenement building, which she disliked completely.
