Old Madam Han cooked a simple meal of rice, egg drop soup and sauerkraut fish. She didn't have many resources in the fridge, and with her second daughter-in-law living with her, she didn't dare to use all the meat and fish as she liked. After all, she still had to take a look at her daughter-in-law's face.
But even this simple meal was quite lavish for Tong Zhaodi. She and her elder sister had never gotten a chance to eat such good things. Her parents often tell her that she and her sister were money-losing goods and that they were of no use to their family. Thus, they should work hard for their younger brother and get married to fetch a high bride price. Her elder sister was the same; she was made to work from morning to night, and then she was married off to a faraway village for a high bride price.
