Old woman Qian initially was pleased, but her face sank after hearing Lady Wang's words, scolding, "That profligate wife, Lady Wu, just sold some wheat and immediately went to buy meat. That little bit of money, let alone repaying debts, I'm afraid won't even last through the year. She doesn't know how to budget and live properly, and just brings disaster like this. Oh, it's infuriating. My poor third son, how did he end up with such a wasteful wife who can't manage the household? Jinwa is growing, so occasionally letting him have a treat at a relative's house is fine, but the rest of them should tighten their belts..."
Qian Yixiu seriously despised the old woman's favoritism toward males over females. Was it only Qian Yeejin who was growing? Were she and her little aunt not growing as well? Lady Wang was also quite something, stirring up the old woman's ire with just a few words.
