Hualing returned home and sat on the stool, stifling her frustration. Why? It was all because she had visited Cheng Su's place.
While at Qi Taiguo's home, she took the opportunity to look around inside and out while Cheng Su was busy in the kitchen. She deeply felt that her own home was practically a pigeon coop in comparison.
Qi Taiguo, being of higher rank, was allotted a two-bedroom apartment with a living room and a bathroom. In contrast, all they had was a one-bedroom apartment without a bathroom, requiring them to use a communal one. How was that convenient?
It's human nature to fear comparison. Without it, Hualing might have been content, but now she couldn't keep her calm.
Her anger grew upon seeing the dishes served on the dining table.
Cheng Su was just a country girl from the sticks, yet she was fortunate enough to marry a good husband with a high rank, leading to better living conditions than theirs.
