Widow Song was about to start eating, but was stopped by Qin Wanru, "Mom, just eat here."
"Ah? I..."
"Since Wanru has said so, please sit down."
Wang Yongchang was just beginning to feel interested in Qin Wanru, so he listened to her and pulled Widow Song to sit down.
Widow Song was also hungry. She thought that if she ate here, she could have some rice porridge. If she went back, there would be only cakes left. After eating at Qin Wanru's place, it would be the same if she took some back to Qin Mosheng, so she sat down.
Like Qin Wanru, she hadn't had a full meal for a long time. She ate three pancakes and drank two bowls of rice porridge in a row, and was so full that she kept burping.
Wang Yongchang was amused by Widow Song's appearance, "Mother-in-law, why don't you eat slowly? No one is trying to snatch the food from you."
Qin Wanru covered her face with a silk handkerchief and smiled without showing her teeth.
Even though she was extremely unwilling, she was now Wang Yongchang's woman.
Compared to those illusory dreams, the bowl of rice porridge in front of me seems more real.
When Widow Song had eaten and drunk her fill, she wiped her mouth and said, "Okay, then I'll go back first. The remaining cake..."
"Why."
Qin Wanru took the cornmeal pancake away, picked up the smallest one, tore off a quarter of it and gave it to Widow Song, "Mother, take this back to your brother."
"this..."
Widow Song looked at the pancake, which was no bigger than her palm, and laughed dryly. "Wanru, stop joking. There's no way this will fill me up."
"Other people may not have enough to eat, but who is my brother? He is a gentleman and a top scholar. How could he not have enough to eat?"
When Wang Yongchang heard this, he knew that Qin Wanru was holding a grudge against Qin Mosheng. Coincidentally, he also disliked Qin Mosheng's behavior, so he agreed, "Yes, mother-in-law, don't be polite, take it back."
Widow Song wanted to say something, but Qin Wanru simply put the pancakes into her bag, cutting off her escape route.
Widow Song knew that Qin Wanru was still angry because Qin Mosheng forced her to marry Wang Yongchang. She couldn't say anything in front of Wang Yongchang, so she could only take the small piece of cake and go back.

"Who can eat a palm-sized pancake?"
Qin Mosheng was instantly furious when he saw the pancakes Widow Song brought back. "It's true that only women and villains are difficult to raise. She doesn't have the generosity of a man at all. I have let down all my plans for her. If I hadn't persuaded her to marry Wang Yongchang, would she be able to live the comfortable life she has now?"
"Wanru is still angry. Once she calms down, she'll remember your kindness. Just eat something for now."
Qin Mosheng wanted to say with backbone that he would not eat Qin Wanru's food, but the hunger for days made him reluctant to let go of even this small piece of cake. He took it and ate it, not even willing to let go of the crumbs on his hand.
