“We’re the eldest sister in the family compound, our precious daughter. Anyone who dares to mess with us, we’ll twist…break their legs.”
Liu Mei:............
You can't expect something good to come out of a dog's mouth.
Zhang Tong nervously grabbed Zhou Shi's hand.
"Don't you dare do anything reckless. The girl is mine. You all have daughters, how can you try to take her from me? Have some shame."
Yao Lixiang, who just mentioned it casually:............
Liu Mei, feeling like she'd just stumbled upon a juicy piece of gossip, exclaimed with delight, "Sister Zhang, are you serious? Li Xiang is clearly making this up."
Zhang Tong, however, said seriously, "I'm serious."
She briefly recounted Zhou Shi's pitiful background and her and her husband's thoughts.
"This girl looks different from others, but after spending a few days with her, I found that she is really well-behaved."
"As long as you don't cross her bottom line, she's just like a normal child."
As for the bottom line, she roughly knew it: first, it concerned a beautiful brain, and second, it concerned food.
As long as these two points remain within her acceptable range, aside from being a little playful and having some unusual ideas, she is actually better behaved than many other children.
"No matter how much she craves food, she won't steal any. You've never seen her holding her bowl and waiting for her food; she's just so adorable."
"We've all been there. When your children are faced with delicious food, hungry and wanting to eat it right away, do they wait for you to share it with them?"
"No, right? She will!"
“In her eyes, only what is in her bowl belongs to her. What is still in the pot or on the plate belongs to everyone, and she would never touch it without permission.”
"After finishing what's in her own bowl, she'll look at you with bright, sparkling eyes and wait for you to give her a second portion."
"In other people's eyes, she was an incapable fool who needed to be fed and didn't understand anything."
"But in my eyes, she is more sensible and has a better sense of propriety than any child or even many adults."
These days, people lack food and clothing, and many go hungry. Those who can eat until they are six or seven tenths full are considered fortunate.
It is only because these military dependents have men to support them and the protection of the state that their lives are better than those of people outside.
People who are constantly hungry don't have much manners or etiquette. When they see food, they pounce on it like a hungry tiger, unable to wait.
Zhou Shi's physique clearly indicated that she was from one of the starving groups, but her upbringing seemed to be ingrained in her very being.
