Su Muze and Guo Qiulan got engaged, and early in the morning Mrs. Shen was seen by Tao Shi buying meat at the village butcher. Su Zhongshi had already been bringing back lots of good stuff from town for a few days.
Although Tao Shi couldn't stand Su Yunjin's family and they made her grind her teeth in frustration, if there's good food and fat to be had, Tao Shi didn't mind going to grab some.
Tao Shi had originally planned to go to Su Yunjin's house today for a good meal, but what does she get? The eldest daughter-in-law Mrs. Shen sends over a piece of meat early in the morning for them to eat at home. The implication was to stop her from coming over to eat at their place, even saying that since the families are separate now, Su Muze's engagement had nothing to do with them, and they didn't need to join for the meal.
