\nNing Shu looked at Cai Anqi. “Then you want to throw all this food away? This was all bought with money. It’s not easy for Wang Bo to earn money, so we should save some money whenever we can.”
Cai Anqi’s lips curled in disdain as she retorted, “People work to earn money for the sake of a better life. Why else would you work to make money? Mother, you’re being too frugal. If you eat unhealthy food and get sick, you’ll lose way more than you gain.”
“Don’t you agree?” Cai Anqi nudged Wang Bo’s leg with her foot under the table. Wang Bo had no choice but to say, “Mom, Anqi has a point.”
Ning Shu glanced at Wang Bo and said, “Since you know that we can’t finish all this, why did you order so many dishes? If we can’t finish eating them all tonight, we’ll continue to eat them tomorrow morning. We’re having them until we finish them all.”
Cai Anqi was so upset that she slapped her chopsticks down, stormed back to her room, and slammed the door.
Wang Bo hurriedly got up, but Ning Shu saidsoftly, “Sit down and eat. There will always be conflicts within the family. It will take time for us to understand each other.”
Wang Bo had no choice but to sit back down. Ning Shu said, “It’s not that I’m reluctant to give you guys good food, but some waste is unnecessary. We should all learn to save a little. Having extra money on hand could help us deal with emergencies that come up in the future.”
