There were even people in the village who beat up their parents and refused to give them food. Eldest Brother Shao felt that he was doing quite well already, as he fed her two meals a day without fail.
Eldest Brother Shao indeed fed her without fail, but he neglected to mention what the 'two meals a day' were like. These two meals were usually leftovers from their meals, and he would give her only as much food as was left over. If there was really no food left, he would just add some dishwashing water.
Zhao Lan knew that she was leading a tough life, but she had no choice. She didn't dare say anything, fearing that she wouldn't even get leftovers in the future.
Eldest Brother Shao and Eldest Sister-In-Law Shao were quite smart. They had never asked Shao Fu and the others to deliver food before, perhaps because they were afraid that their kids would treat them like this in the future.
