Some people might not be used to living with others, while others can be disruptive and inconsiderate. This woman is in a similar situation. She is ethnically Chinese and married to a Caucasian American. They live in a house with two other people, one of them being his college friend’s girlfriend , Anna, who moved in during the lockdown. According to the author, the woman is constantly pushing her beliefs onto her and her husband. Things came to a head during the Chinese New Year when she started buying decorations for the holiday, but they were all insensitive.
