Yun Jin remained silent, which was taken as acceptance of the result.
Knowing that she wasn't by Li Aimei's side, and that she couldn't possibly eat and drink alone, as Zhang's mother and the others also had mouths to feed, Yun Jin was worried that Li Aimei wouldn't get anything to eat. The chicken, ribs, pig's trotters, fish, and shrimp that she had spent so much money buying were not meant to be a bargain for the mother and son.
With Yun Jin's encouragement, the chicken stewed that day—whether it was the drumsticks, wings, breast, or feet—all went to Li Aimei. Zhang's mother ate the parts with little meat, like the neck and tail.

Zhang's mother said, "Eating out is so expensive. You haven't worked for more than half a year. How can my son earn enough money on his own? He doesn't even know how to be frugal. He should just eat at home, and I'll cook for him."
Li Aimei dismissed it as nonsense: "If you want to eat at home, then eat at home. We'll eat out. Our egg tarts need to go out and see the world!"
In the end, Zhang's mother still went to the hotel to eat, thinking that she might as well eat it.
