Xu Huizhen brought out the steamed buns and rolls she had bought at the post station that morning. Just as she was about to distribute them, Gu Kaiyuan beat her to it. He stuffed a large meat bun into his mouth, grabbed one in each hand, and devoured them all at lightning speed.
He was just reaching out for more when Xu Huizhen finally snapped out of her daze. She immediately lunged at him. "You unfilial son! What do you think you're doing?"
"Eating, of course, Mother. This was bought with the communal silver, and my wife contributed more than half of it. Why can't I eat?
"I'm still hungry. Give your son two more."
"Are you a reincarnated starved ghost? If you eat them all, what is everyone else supposed to eat?" Completely forgetting the rules of the Gu Mansion, Xu Huizhen pointed right at Gu Kaiyuan and cursed. "Get back to your wife! I can't afford to feed you."
