Zhang Qiang stubbornly defended himself, "I saw you were asleep, and I thought you weren't hungry. So I ate it all by myself."
Actually, Zhang Qiang originally wanted to leave half for his wife, but he was too hungry. He had planned to keep half the food for himself and leave the other half for her. However, after finishing his share, he was still starving. Throwing caution to the wind, he ate his wife's portion too.
Yang Hong cried, "I can see you don't care about me at all! You're human, and so am I. You get hungry, and I'm pregnant—do you think I don't get hungry? How could you do this to me and the baby?"
After she finished speaking, Yang Hong burst into loud sobs.
Zhang Qiang muttered, "What are you crying for? People are dying every couple of days now. When that happens, I'll just grab more stuff and let you eat a bit more, okay? Stop crying!"

Chen Momo pressed her ear against the door and listened for a while. She wasn't surprised by this kind of thing at all.
