Zhong Bingyuan had no choice, so she took a pork rib from another dish instead.
Zheng Lin stopped her again. "You've already eaten two pork ribs. You can't have anymore. If you eat too much, you will grow fat.
"You're thirteen years old now and you'll be fourteen next year. You're a young lady now. You must maintain your figure or you won't be elegant at all. As a girl, you must pay attention to your image, or you will regret it when you grow older."
Zhong Bingyuan's little face wrinkled in a frown. After interacting with her mother for a while, she found the latter rather odd. She seemed rather eccentric. She could not understand why her mother was acting like that.
Zhong Bingyuan tried to take some prawns and crabs, but Zheng Lin stopped her again.
"You can't eat too much of such things. Crabs are cooling, and girls shouldn't eat them. Have some tofu and vegetables. These are good for your health."
