Yu Tong choked on the piece of pork belly from which she just took a bite, she looked at Gong Shun who started from Chen Mi and was now attacking Old Madam Yu with praises. Unlike the others who couldn't see the intentions behind the praises, Yu Tong could easily see Gong Shun's intentions!
This woman was trying to cosy up with her family such that she could freeload at any moment!
" Why are you speaking too much!? Just focus on your meal," Yu Tong was worried that Gong Shun might end up winning everyone's hearts including Yu Dong as she was joking and laughing with Yu Dong a bit too much. Thus, she stopped Gong Shun from speaking any more and placed a big piece of pork belly in her bowl, " Eat your meal."
Don't think that she was being a miser but because Yu Tong worked with these three women, she was more than aware of how greedy they can be and thus for the sake of her family's monthly ration she had to nip this bud before it bloomed.
