My Life in SZ (12) - a 45 Years Old Lady

A lady around 45 years old lived upstairs. I forget how I get to know her, she lived in a very small room might be only 3 square meters only for sleeping at night. She said that she came to SZ since divorced her former husband and posted a small ad in a Hong Kong newspaper asking for marriage. She showed me hundreds of envelopes from Hong Kong, and all the men in the envelopes said how they were sincerely wanted to meet her as soon as possible. To my surprise, some of the mails were from local marriage agencies, she was a potential customer for them. It was really hard to choose the best and right husband from the piles of envelopes.

She once pointed to her thigh saying how tickling it was and ask me to take a check for her. Of course, I didn't check on her anywhere and went away. In fact, I didn't know what she was going to do at the time. Many years later I get to know what she wanted.

Sister Wang has told us, "every one of you must learn how to find a girl if you are a boy; on the contrary, you should learn to find a boy if you are a girl."
I looked up shining lights from the high building at night, wondering where would be my place in the future, I need a house and a family.

My Life in SZ (12) - aA 45 Years -Old Lady

I've forgetotten how I geot to know her, s. She lived in a very small room might bethat was perhaps only 3 square meters only, that was only meant for sleeping in at night.

She said that she came to SZ sincafter she divorced her former husband and posted a small ad in a Hong Kong newspaper asking for marriage.

She showed me hundreds of envelopeletters from Hong Kong, and all the men in the envelopeletters said how they were sincerely wanted to meet her as soon as possible.

She probably just showed you the envelope and not what's inside them, but in this context, it would be more natural to say "letters" even if you only saw the outside envelope!

To my surprise, some of the mails were from local marriage agencies, s. She was a potential customer for them.

She once pointed to her thigh saying how tickling it was and ask me to take a check for her.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say here, could you rephrase?

Of course, I didn't check on her anywhere and went awayand left.

In fact, I didn't know what she was going to do at the time.

"In fact" feels a bit unnatural here, but I'm not sure why.

Many years later I geot to knowunderstand what she wanted.

using "know" here suggests that maybe she told you herself many years later, whereas "understand" suggests you figured it out yourself!

Sister Wang has told us, "every one of you must learn how to find a girl if you are a boy; on the contrary, you should learn to, and find a boy if you are a girl.

On the contrary means you are contradicting the thing that came before it. For example, "I thought he was good at math?" "On the contrary, he's actually horrible at it!"

In this case, you can just use "and", it might sound too simple but sometimes simple is better. :)

She used one of her fingers to point to her thigh saying, "Sometimes I feel tickled here, can you help me see what's the problem?"

Oh, you would say instead use the word "itchy" instead of "tickled".

"Once, she pointed to an itchy spot on her thigh and asked me to check it for her."
