Ng Yun Chor, Ng Siu Kei’s grandfather, was a very authoritative person in Nga Tsin Wai Village. Sharing the tall posture of most Shantung people, he was nicknamed ‘Red Hair Uncle’ and liked to knock people’s heads when he lost patience with them. The old man took four wives in succession and Ng Siu Kei’s two elder aunts, father and younger uncle were all born by the man’s first wife. Ng Siu Kei had never met his natural grandmother, but had heard from his elders that his grandfather regularly scolded and beat her up badly. The woman worked hard on the farm and doing chores around the house until the day she died. Ng Siu Kei had no impression of his grandfather’s second and third wives and only met the fourth wife ‘Ah Por’ when he was small. The latter woman never officially married his grandfather but lived with him in the house at the end of 4th Lane. She subsequently served him until he passed away.
