"Why did it take you so long to buy a block of tofu? What are you showing off with that little jinx?" Mrs. Cao came out of the kitchen wearing an apron, her voice sharp as she spoke to Yu Ziyi, "Hurry and give me the tofu, I'm still waiting to stew it!"
Yu Ziyi finished showing off the tofu in front of Yu Xiaolian, pouted and said to Mrs. Cao, "Mom, ever since we got home, what have we been eating? Can't you stew some meat for me? If I had known we were going to eat this every day, I wouldn't have dropped out."
Mrs. Cao glared at Yu Ziyi, "How can the food at home compare to the school? Even this tofu, I had to use my private stash of money to buy it. If we counted on your grandma, she wouldn't even be willing to give a single coin."
Yu Ziyi complained, "Just this one piece of tofu for so many people, I say whoever didn't chip in shouldn't eat."
Mrs. Cao shushed him, "You dare say such a thing, aren't you afraid your grandma will hear?"
