Ma Xiangxi had two sons, and the one-bedroom apartment he and his wife were assigned in the tenement building couldn't hold them all. Seeing that the original owner had bought a job for her younger daughter and provided a dowry, he grew jealous. He used sweet talk to coax the original owner into paying for a house for him and even buying a full set of furniture.
When Ma the Second and his wife found out, they were furious and picked several fights with the original owner.
Ma the Second was henpecked and listened to his wife’s every word. The original owner did not like him at all, so she had no intention of spending money on his family.
