A large bowl of thick porridge, a plate of eggs (it looked like there were at least five eggs), and fried dough sticks and meat buns from a state-run restaurant on the table—it all looked incredibly appetizing.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't stand on ceremony. She picked up the fried dough stick and ate it without giving anyone a second glance, and naturally, she didn't notice the stares of others.
Wen Changjun frowned, while Qin Ying and Wen Lin looked disgusted.
Unlike Wen Qin, she also thoughtfully served food to Lin Xiaoxiao.
The Wen family are all scholars, and Wen Changjun and Qin Ying are, after all, minor leaders. They dislike people who don't follow the rules and lack manners.
At the dinner table, Qin Ying kept glancing at Lin Xiaoxiao.
She had been trying to be patient at first, but seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao showed no sign of stopping while eating, she couldn't help but scold her.
"Lin Xiaoxiao, stop right there!!"
"Is this how you usually eat? Do you know how unseemly you are?"
"The way they snatched food was like that of a beggar who had never eaten!"
Lin Xiaoxiao took a bite of the fragrant fried dough stick. "What did you say? A beggar?"
As Lin Xiaoxiao spoke, she reached for a meat bun.
"If I'm a beggar, then you're the mother of beggars. If I'm a little beggar, then you're the big beggar!"
Lin Xiaoxiao then took big bites of the steamed bun, her mouth covered in oil.
"Lin Xiaoxiao!! Is this how you talk to me?"
"Put down your chopsticks!! Look at you, you have no manners, you're wolfing down your food, you grab whatever you want to eat without any regard for others, you have absolutely no manners!"
Wen Qin desperately pressed down on her lips, and gently coaxed:
"Mom, don't be angry. My sister hasn't eaten anything good either. At the Lin family's house, she probably doesn't even get to eat breakfast."
"It's normal for her to be a little excited now that she can eat breakfast; she'll get better in the future."
In those days, some families did indeed eat only two meals a day in order to save food for themselves.
Hearing Wen Qin's words, Lin Xiaoxiao stopped eating her fried dough stick and smiled.
"Wenqin, you should eat quickly, otherwise after you are recognized as a member of the clan, you will only be able to go to the Northwest to starve, and you probably won't even be able to drink porridge."
Wen Qin's expression froze, and she looked extremely helpless.
With a "snap".
Wen Lin slammed his hand on the table.
"Lin Xiaoxiao, what do you mean? Wen Qin is so good to you, and you still bully her. You're just unruly. If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know how to be a decent person or how to do things properly!"
"What are you all shouting about?! All of you, eat in silence!" Wen Changjun yelled.
