In a time when resources were scarce, it was a great blessing to be able to eat a bit of meat. Many families went an entire year without eating meat!
It was the same for the Gu family.
How did it feel to have many meat dishes pass before your very eyes, while sitting there, eating dried radishes?
Gu Qingyao pretended not to notice that Gu Ruoqing was crying from rage. She calmly ate the dried radish. She only ate this occasionally, so it was not a big deal to her.
When she saw Gu Qingyao's calm expression, Gu Ruoqing ground her teeth and said, "You did it on purpose, didn't you? Did you purposely prevent me from eating meat?"
Gu Qingyao glanced at her. "There are so many elders here. Allowing them to have the meat is the proper thing to do. Your own grandmother forced you out to leave, so why are you mad at me?"
