As a daughter-in-law, she couldn't just sit there doing nothing, waiting for her mother-in-law and husband to finish everything and serve her. Even if her mother-in-law and husband never said a word about it, she herself would feel she had no face.
She hurried into the bathroom to wash her hands, splash some water on her face, tidy herself up, then came out and started wiping the table, setting out the chopsticks, and putting the bowls in place.
By the time she'd finished all that, the dumplings were cooked. Knowing she'd already eaten, her bowl was small and Jun Ye's bowl was big. Mrs. Lu had eaten and wouldn't eat any more. She let the two of them eat and said, "I'll go see how they're playing. I'll give the two of them a bath. When is Tongtong's mom coming back?" Mrs. Lu was thinking, if Miao Xin hadn't had dinner either, should she leave some food for her.
