Her expectations for her future son-in-law were not high, as long as he could provide her daughter with a similar standard of living and had good character. Material possessions were not her primary concern.
Wang Yan, on the other hand, was not aware of her mother's thinking. She continued to ask, "Mom, has Dad still not returned? Didn't he say he'd be home early today?"
"I don't know, I couldn't reach him when I called just now. Try again a little later. Come on Little Tang, come sit down and watch TV, have some fruit." After saying this Shi Lan placed the items brought by Tang Qing on the tea table, turned on the TV, and gave the remote control to Tang Qing.
"Okay."

"Dad, why haven't you gotten home yet? Are you still busy?"
