Chen Sanmei was talking with Yang Peimin. They were close friends but hadn't seen each other in years. It was rumored that she had gotten married two years ago, had even asked Yang Peimin to set her up with someone before her marriage. After getting married, she seemed to have no intention of keeping in touch, and Yang Peimin had long forgotten about her. Now that she approached her again, Yang Peimin only then remembered her.
"Minmin, are you living in a college dorm or at your husband's place now?"
"We bought a house there because there are many kids, and my mother-in-law helps out too. Otherwise, we couldn't manage."
"Really?" Chen Sanmei looked at Yang Peimin in complete surprise then scrutinized her from head to toe. She began to believe her somewhat, as Yang Peimin's own attire, as well as that of her three children and her younger sister-in-law, were styles she had never seen before, made from materials that looked particularly nice.
