Mrs. Jong gives Waverly special privileges, because she wants to see her daughter do well in chess. In some ways, Waverly's success is about her as much as it is about Waverly. To be sure that she wants to see her daughter succeed and do well, but she also loves to boast about her daughter. Therefore, she will do what she can to help Waverly be a chess champion.
So, if her brothers are too loud, she will move them into the living room to sleep. If Waverly cannot think on a full stomach, she does not have to finish her food.
Her brothers are annoyed at this arrangement, and they complain as they see the incongruity of the situation, but in the end Mrs. Jong's words and will prevails.
"Why does she get to play and we do all the work," complained Vincent. "Is new American rules," said my mother. "Meimei play, squeeze all her brains out for win chess. You play, worth squeeze towel."
