At 12:30, Xu Hui and Chen Huifen were ready with lunch and called out loudly in the dining room for the three children, "Lunch is ready, time to eat!"
Chen Huifen's call was gentle, while Xu Hui shouted as if she was cursing in the streets, "Whatever you're doing, put it down now, eating is important, hurry up and come out!"
This was also a reflection of the personality differences between Chen Huifen and Xu Hui…
Chen Huifen was gentle like water, a person who rarely spoke loudly.
Xu Hui, on the other hand, was coarse in speech and so loud that you could hear her from a street away.
These two women and their respective husbands had similar contrasting personalities.
Xu Hui and Qingcao's father were both less educated with rough manners, but they had open hearts and were very forthright.
Chen Huifen and Pu Sangzhi's father, however, were both mild-mannered, rarely argued with others, and seldom got angry, warm and smooth in disposition.
