Yu Lanying complained internally, realizing it had almost been a month since she last tasted a piece of meat. Her child grew restless with desire at the smell of meat. Su Xiaowan was also a woman, yet why did she lead such a comfortable life?
Yu Lanying knew that Su Xiaowan invited the young soldiers for the feast primarily because her husband, Zhao Qingguo, the Deputy Captain, told her so.
Zhao Qingguo was also unhappy. Why had Han Dongchen and his wife invited new recruits who trained with Su Xiaowan instead of inviting comrades with military ranks who had fought alongside him?
They had only invited Director Zhou, leaving out the lieutenants.
Zhao Qingguo also craved meat. He wished to eat too, but Han Dongchen never invited him. He had no other choice but to keep his displeasure to himself. During his complaints to Yu Lanying, she got to know everything.
