Quote #10
"But the eldest son wearies of his wife's complaints of this and that—too proper a woman for a man, she is, and always talking of what they did in the house of her father, and she wearies a man. There is talk of his taking another. He goes often to the tea shops." (34.49)

Soon enough, Wang Lung's grandchildren will probably start turning into their parents. Where does it end? What are the differences? How do things change?
