Shu Aiguo nodded. There are quite a few self-employed individuals in the county now. If his sister is willing to take this step, she can support herself.
Shu Aiguo asked his second sister-in-law to make some cornbread. The cornbread was mixed with rice bran and wild vegetable leaves. Shu Hui and the others were used to eating it, so it was fine. But Chu Yu had been eating white flour and rice since she was a child. She had never eaten such coarse food before. It was really hard on her throat when she swallowed it.
But Chu Yu knew that her second uncle's family was so poor that they couldn't afford to eat, and this was already the best they could offer to their guests.
The mother and her three daughters each ate a cornbread bun, and then felt too embarrassed to eat any more.

"Are you still hungry? This pot of food is freshly steamed. Don't be shy here, make yourself at home."
Chu Chu pursed her lips and took a steamed bun. Chu Xiang also took one. Chu Yu didn't have much of an appetite, so she just drank a bowl of porridge.
"Thank you, Auntie." Chu Yu smiled.
Sister-in-law Shu was somewhat surprised. Her niece had always been a quiet and reserved person, but today, it was as if the sun had risen in the west—she was unusually polite.
