But buying six liang of pork means everyone in the family can get a few slices, while the milk bought for six mao can be gone in just a few gulps.
Lin Xiang watched as her sisters-in-law drank the milk cautiously, not daring to drink freely, and felt a strange discomfort in her heart.
In fact, the conditions for a military family were already better than most, but because there were so many people in the family, it still felt like there was never enough money.
In such circumstances, the sisters-in-law would voluntarily choose to sacrifice themselves for other family members.
If Lin Xiang hadn't told them that the milk would spoil if not drunk, they would surely have taken it home.
Even now, though they drank the milk themselves, they did not dare to truly enjoy it, and even felt a sense of guilt.
Because they drank the milk that other family members could not have, a deep sense of incompatibility arose in their hearts.
This sentiment is a reflection of countless women.
