Time flew by, and before she knew it, two days had passed. The grains Lady Li had rationed were sufficient, but they had run out of vegetables. Even with her nerves being quite strained, she noticed her mother-in-law had stopped touching the pickled and spicy cabbage. She was genuinely concerned her mother-in-law might lose weight, and the last thing she wanted was to run out of meat and eggs, especially with two more meals to go today—what to do without any vegetables!
Lady Li tugged at the man of the house. "Man of the house, think of something. It's a minor matter to punish me, but if mother loses weight and father comes back unhappy, that's a major issue."
Zhou Shuren originally didn't want to get involved, as he supported his mother in training his wife, but after his wife's final plea, he had no choice but to step in. His father might not criticize Lady Li to her face, but he would certainly educate him!
