Chapter 311 - 311 301 Making Dumplings

?Chapter 311: Chapter 301 Making Dumplings Chapter 311: Chapter 301 Making Dumplings Sister-in-law Wu frowned upon hearing Shen Yunfang say they would have dumplings for dinner, pausing to think before saying, “Yunfang, we’re practically family. Ever since you moved here, we’ve had meals at your place several times. We really shouldn’t have, knowing that no family here is wealthy. Doing this all the time, how can you make ends meet? If it weren’t for my family insisting on coming over, I really wouldn’t bring the kids to dine with you. I don’t have any other intention in saying this, just thinking that since we’re so close, there will be plenty of chances for our families to eat together in the future, so please don’t go out of your way to prepare anything special. If you keep this up, I won’t dare to come over because we simply can’t afford such meals.”

After enjoying someone else’s kindness, how could you not reciprocate? But could she afford to host a meal like the one Yunfang prepared? What would she do then? If someone invites you over for meat and dumplings, and you invite them back for a plain cabbage stew, would that be proper?

Actually, it’s not that she can’t afford it. Sister-in-law Wu could have dumplings once a month if she didn’t live so frugally. However, with several children at home, the dumplings they made were filled more with vegetable than meat, and even then, they could not eat their fill, barely enough for twenty-some per person.

Most importantly, Sister-in-law Wu was a person who knew how to live frugally. She had no choice; the fifty-some yuan that Wu Guoqiang brought home each month had to feed three children, each needing food, clothes, and schooling. Furthermore, with the eldest child being fifteen, she would have to look for a marriage in just a few years, and as a mother, how could she not save up some dowry for her child?

So, it was no wonder she had to be thrifty.
