Wang Mei Na was wearing a floral dress with a pink apron. She looked like a kindly albeit haggard middle aged woman. The inside of the apartment was clean but bare and the furniture appeared to be a mismatch of items from different households. Atop the wooden sofa was a bag of stuffed animals and on the coffee table was a stack of black buttons.
Su Ning who had followed Wang Mei Na into the living room caught sight of this and immediately thought of one of her part-time jobs sewing stuffed animals. The pay was ridiculously low, less than 50CNY for an extra large bag of teddy bears. 'Why is Auntie Wang doing such tedious manual labor?' She wondered.
"I'm so sorry for the mess. Please take a seat. Is water alright?" Wang Mei Na asked as she made her way into the kitchen.
"No no auntie. It's my fault for not giving prior notice. Uhm yes. Water is fine," Su Ning answered politely.
