Mrs. Li finished cooking, and Mrs. Feng helped bring it in.
The Xu Family had quite a few members, so they usually ate at two tables.
Anning assisted the Old Madam to sit at the table where the women were seated, and glanced at the dishes on the table. Mrs. Li got up a bit late today and the meal she prepared was somewhat casually done.
Each table had a large pot of porridge, along with some bean flour pancakes and two plates of pickles.
Anning pursed her lips, then stepped forward to serve the Old Madam some food.
Only after the Old Madam had food in her bowl did the others dare to serve themselves.
Anning filled half a bowl of porridge for Ying and gave her half a pancake, urging her to eat quickly.
She herself ate a pancake with pickles and drank a few sips of porridge.
The Old Madam did not speak during the meal, but after eating, she said, "Third's wife, who are you trying to fool with today's meal? Do you think my temper has become too overbearing?"
