"Second Sister-in-law, I asked you to steam some eggs; why is there only one bowl?" Ye Qiu was about to head back to the house when a sharp female voice came from inside.
"I... my mother only gave me one egg yesterday, so I could only steam a small bowl." Old Second's wife, Yao Xue Mei, replied hesitantly.
"Second Sister-in-law, now you're pretending to be poor. Why didn't you say you were out of money when you secretly sent money back to your parents' home?" Third Sister-in-law Zhou Qing sneered, making Yao Xue Mei's face turn red with shame, bowing her head in embarrassment.
"Aunt, the money was earned by my father, so what if my mother used it? Didn't you use the money uncle earned?" A young girl's defiant voice piped up, her pleasant voice filled with indignation.
"Such a sharp-tongued child at a young age. Didn't your parents teach you to respect your elders?" Zhou Qing glared at Yang Xiudan, clearly dismissing her.
