In those days, famine was rampant, and food was extremely precious; Aunt Chi had locked it all in the cupboard.

Chi Tang's eyes lit up, and seizing the opportunity, she waved her little hand...

"Hey? Why are there eggs in this cupboard?" Aunt Chi exclaimed, both surprised and hesitant.

All the hens in the house are gone, so where are the eggs coming from?

Chi Tang closed her eyes, a smile curving her lips.

This is what we call keeping our merits and fame hidden!

It's just a pity that the small courtyard was the one she bought in the suburbs. It was a place where she lived comfortably, but there wasn't much food or other useful items.

Old Man Chi peeked out.

Good heavens, there were about twenty eggs in the corner of the cupboard! They were all a bit bumped and bruised, as if they had been smashed.

"Could this be something we left behind before?"

"impossible."

It's possible to miss one, but how could it be possible to miss twenty?

"Who cares, let's eat first!"

How many days has this family gone without meat or eggs?

Aunt Chi gritted her teeth, took out five eggs and asked her daughter-in-law to make steamed egg custard. Then, each of her five grandsons had a small half bowl, her five sons and Aunt Chi and Uncle Chi each had two large spoonfuls, and her three daughters-in-law each only had one spoonful.

Even so, everyone ate with great relish and was extremely satisfied!

Everyone was enjoying their meal when suddenly someone barged in. After seeing the food on the table, he pointed at Aunt Chi and started cursing:

"You heartless bastard, how dare you steal my eggs? May you be struck by lightning and die a horrible death! ... Right now, give me back those twenty eggs you stole!"

The last half of the sentence is the real purpose!

Chi Tang was stunned. How come she didn't know the eggs in her spatial courtyard were stolen?
