The Cao Family from top to bottom is stingy.
Although Mr. Mu and Old Mrs. Mu were greeted with smiles at the Cao Family, they were given just two sweet potatoes to tide them over for the night.
The old couple hadn't eaten all day; two sweet potatoes weren't enough.
After finishing the sweet potatoes, Mr. Mu went to see Xianxian, hoping to ask for some food to bring to Xiangxiang and Qingqing.
"Xianxian, your mother and I... haven't had enough to eat. Can you ask the kitchen to make something for us? Otherwise, we can do it ourselves if you let us use the kitchen."
Just as Mu Xianxian was about to nod, Old Mrs. Cao, who had been eavesdropping outside, stormed in.
"Dear in-law, our Cao Family only eats two meals a day. At night, four sweet potatoes are what I instruct the maids to buy.
One costs a penny, the price of three ounces of meat. Our Cao Family can have a meal with three ounces of meat. How is it still not enough for you?"
Mr. Mu laughed awkwardly.
