"A grown woman like you, and all you do is eat all day. Tell me, isn't that just worrying?" The old madam frowned at her daughter. She wanted to complain a little to her son-in-law, but one look at him and she gave up. 'Never mind. The way this son-in-law is eating isn't any prettier than my daughter's.'
"Hehe, Mom, they say a big appetite is a blessing. So it's great that Yuan Si is like this. It just shows she's a fortunate person," Xiao Furen chimed in, managing to save a little face for his wife.
"Hmph. I'd say you're *both* very fortunate people." Feeling rather 'unblessed' herself, the old madam picked up her own bowl and started slurping down her cornmeal porridge. SLURP SLURP.
When one gets older, one's appetite isn't great right after waking up. Meat and the like are too heavy; a bit of porridge and some pickled vegetables feel much more comfortable.
