By the time the meal was over, both Ren and Madam Lin were so full that they could barely eat another bite.
For once, neither of them had to worry about saving a little congee for the next meal. Heena had made sure of that.
However, while Ren collected the bowls and carried them to the kitchen to wash, Madam Lin was still grumbling under her breath.
"Such a waste! We could have eaten the remaining congee tomorrow, but no! Someone just had to insist on finishing everything today."
Heena was sitting leisurely beneath the veranda, looking out at the evening sky. Hearing Madam Lin's complaints, she didn't even bother turning her head.
I don't give a damn.
She had already explained herself. If Madam Lin still wanted to complain, then she was welcome to do so. Heena wasn't going to change her mind just because someone refused to understand her.
A little while later, Ren came out of the kitchen, wiping his hands with a towel after finishing the dishes.
