This statement granted Dai Lee access to the Wen home and once she stepped foot inside, it was the beginning of both endless and meaningless visits. Mama Wen invited her in but like a vampire, she was easy to invite inside but very difficult to get rid of.
Mama Wen made some tea as Dai Lee silently observed her environment. All her life she was adorned in luxury and splendour but she would never disrespect someone's home. She had heard from her father that her grandfather worked in the mines before he started his own business.
From what her father said Mama Wen's home was far better than the sort of living conditions her grandfather lived in for a third of his life. This made her understand the hard work and effort her grandfather put for her and her son to have such a wonderful life. It was because of this that she wasn't the rich snobbish type who would refuse to enter other people's homes just because of their status.
