Bab 318: Chapter 166 Dispute_1

"Mom, I'm hungry, and Xiao Qi is hungry too," Lian Manman said in a low voice to Lady Zhang.

Lady Zhang lifted her head and glanced around.

"Don't we still have date cake? Mom has warmed it up on the stove for you. You and Xiao Qi go back to the room and have a little to tide you over," Lady Zhang said in a subdued voice to Lian Manman.

Steam bun after steam bun was steamed, but when you were hungry, you couldn't eat them. You had to wait for the family head and the elders to speak before everyone could eat together. That was the rule of the older generation. Lady Zhang pitied her children, afraid that they would be hungry at night, and preferred to prepare food in advance rather than break this rule.

Lady He, who was usually the laziest and thickest-skinned, had swallowed her saliva several times but dared not mention eating steam buns. Si Lang and Liulang also paced back and forth, inside and outside the room, not daring to steal a bite. This showed the sacredness of this rule.
