[Historical Romance] [Adorable Little Darling] [Sharp-Tongued] [Surviving a Famine]
Ren Zhongshan brings home a little girl with no household registration after collecting a debt.
His wife, Liu Zhen, is so furious that she bangs her spatula against the stove: "We're almost out of rice. Are you trying to starve the whole family to death?"
She grumbles that the girl can only stay one night, but then turns around and pours half her own bowl of porridge back into the pot. She even hides a piece of dried sweet potato under the little girl's rice.
Sheng holds her bowl, warmth reaching all the way to her toes. Then she turns around, heads to the rocky slope, digs in the dirt, and brings back a huge pile of wild sweet potatoes!
She runs over with her bowl, pattering all the way, and says, "Auntie, you have to eat your fill so you'll have the strength to scold people!"
