She lifted her head to glance at him, noticing him eating only dry rice and a little vegetables. She knew he was reluctant to eat an extra bite of meat, all saving for her.
This man, she really didn't know what to say about him.
She cursed him to marry a prettier wife later on, seeing that this lad didn't like ugly women.
She kept her head down and ate. After eating a bowl of rice and a lot of vegetables, she was about to stand up with her empty bowl, but he took it from her hands to serve her more rice.
"Serve less, half a bowl is enough," she instructed.
Still, he brought back a full bowl, "You are too skinny, you need to eat more."
Not liking his care, she grabbed the bowl back, "You don't need to worry about me." And she continued to eat steadily.
While he wolfed down his food, he watched her.
After watching for over ten days, he always found his wife's eating actions particularly beautiful, so that she didn't seem ugly anymore.
