To put it bluntly, there were so few pieces of ribs that they were really just for the flavoring. She and her mother's family, even if they wanted, could only eat a few more potatoes to fill their stomach. The ribs were reserved for the children to eat.
The small calculations in the mind of Mrs. Fu's sister-in-law from her maternal home were something only she herself understood.
In the end, people are selfish. Take Mrs. Fu, for instance. All these years, she had sacrificed a lot for her maternal family, but in their eyes, they couldn't even bring themselves to serve her a meal of ribs.
Honestly, it was quite disheartening.
Now, after listening to Mrs. Fu, her sister-in-law from her maternal family couldn't say a word, as they were clearly in the wrong and had no standing in the matter.
So now, upon hearing what Mrs. Fu had to say, all they could do was give an awkward smile.
Anything more said was just pointless.
