Mrs. Johnson's conflict with Annie had become irreconcilable.
Their ideas were different, and even though Annie looked like an Eastland person, having grown up in the United States from a young age, she was already more bashful and reserved than most Americans, but compared to Mrs. Johnson, she was practically a bona fide American girl.
Annie's parents also fed her Chinese cuisine, but she was more accustomed to Western food. Her proficiency with chopsticks was not the same as that of a natural-born Eastland person. During dinner, Mrs. Johnson got angry again when Annie picked out the leftovers and set them aside.
She simply couldn't stand Annie for anything. Ever since she broadcasted Samuel's affair, looking at Annie made her eyes hurt. How could one person make her so angry? She found her own reaction unreasonable.
When you start to dislike someone, you find everything about them irritating.
That was how Mrs. Johnson felt now.
