"Shut up. What does this have to do with Zhong Shan?"
Xu Dali grabbed his tobacco pipe and rapped it on the table, his voice laced with anger.
"My daughter-in-law isn't well. She nearly had a miscarriage, so she should be eating a few extra eggs."
"Zhong Shan, you two keep the eggs and eat them."
With Xu Dali having the final say, the matter was settled. The eldest son and Chen Xiaoli said nothing, just lowered their heads and ate.
Even Wang Xiumin didn't dare to cross Xu Dali at a time like this.
After the meal, however, Wang Xiumin felt sorry for her daughter and boiled two eggs for Xu Wenwan anyway.
These days, every household was allowed to raise two hens, so they had their own eggs at home.
Eating eggs was a luxury in this era, so they only had them on rare occasions.
Wang Xiumin unlocked the cupboard with a key, took out two eggs to boil, and prepared to go and coax her daughter in a little while.
「Inside the room.」
