Ke Meiyu scoffed, "You really weren't wrong. I fed your sister's cookies to the dogs. If you want a return gift, go ask the dogs."
"Don't push your luck. We came here today to visit each other and resolve the issue amicably, but you all act like you've never eaten before, always eyeing other people's tables."
The old lady of the Ling family walked over with an unpleasant expression, scolded the onlookers away, and then gave Ke Meiyu and the old lady of the Ke family a forced smile, "I was supposed to come with my eldest daughter-in-law, but I was too busy with family matters to leave. Instead, I'm sorry to trouble you to come and see me."
This old lady is a typical Xia Hua grandmother, who likes to control everything and can't stand any dissent from the younger generation. On the surface, she treats everyone equally, but she just wants to use her stepsons' and stepdaughters' things to subsidize her own children and grandchildren.
She was among those who were considering joining a senior citizens' university, but seeing all the elderly people around her signing up, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and sign up as well, afraid of being left out.

大院里的人都特别好面子，有些话窝在心里，宁愿吃亏也不会挑破。
再说他们各个都是文化人，体面人，也不会为了三瓜俩枣地跟人撕破脸皮，或者像是乡下般掐着腰骂街。
凌家就靠着这一招，小辈们几乎将北大院所有人家都吃过好多遍了，以至于谁家想要吃肉，从买肉的时候就得偷偷摸摸地买，到了家也要将门窗用毛巾堵上，不让肉味传出去。
