Chun Wang, sobbing, watched eagerly as Chun Ni ate corn. With Tong Huaqiong present, he dared not ask, much less snatch it away.
Mrs. Hong, feeling soft-hearted, picked up a piece of corn from the plate beside her.
Tong Huaqiong knew she wanted to hand it to Chun Wang and hurriedly stopped her.
This corn wouldn't even be fed to the dogs, let alone given to Chun Wang.
It wasn't that Tong Huaqiong was being stingy with a child, but Chun Wang, being a "Yaozu" from such a patriarchal family, certainly did not lack for food.
Chun Wang didn't need their pity.
After dealing with the children's quarrel, Tong Huaqiong and Mrs. Hong returned to the courtyard.
With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, Tong Huaqiong decided to ponder over some mooncake recipes.
Mrs. Hong then asked Tong Huaqiong, "Why did you stop me from giving Chun Wang the corn, sister? Look at how pitiful he looked crying. After all, he's just a child."
