1. Wang Lung thinks about the bride more as a servant to do things for him than as a partner in life.
2. However, Wang Lung cares about how his bride sees him, and makes sure to shave, bathe, and wear his best clothes when he meets her.
3. The Old Mistress smokes opium all the time and she’s probably addicted to it.
4. They are very superstitious. They have earth gods to pray to and incense and robes for the god and goddess, and Wang believes that incense that has been broken is a bad omen.
5. They seem not to ever say what they really mean, as the father does not speak of his pride in having guests to show that he does not approve of spending money, and Wang says that the food is badly prepared when he himself thinks it is the best he has ever eaten.
6. Why does Wang Lung have to ask his father before he shaves off the braid?
7. Why does Wang Lung always speak gruffly and act as though he doesn’t care about Olan at all when he does?
