Tang Yuxin had bought ten boxes at the time, ate one herself, and nine were left. Initially, she didn't know what to do with these boxed meals. She had thought about eating them slowly. If she couldn't finish them, or if they went bad, she would have to throw them away.
Now that's turning out well, at least she doesn't have to discard them. These would be enough to feed them for at least three days. It wasn't that she didn't want to conserve, but they couldn't afford to. The food would spoil quickly, and there's no waiting.
She snapped the lid of the suitcase shut, and placed the food she had in hand on top of the suitcase. It didn't matter if the ground was dirty. As long as they had a place to sit, it would be fine.
These ten meals, the two of them had to finish within three days, otherwise, they would spoil.
