Yvonne Hale watched as Irene Lynch and Gregory Winslow began to eat, and she was practically fuming.
'Is a chicken leg something low-lifes like them can afford to eat?'
'It should have been for me!'
She was starving right now.
But this time, her family had been unwilling to give her any money for the trip.
Her brothers were all married, and their wives kept a tight rein on the family's finances. Plus, with a new baby born before the New Year, she had only been able to bring a few steamed buns with her.
Steamed buns were made from fine grain, so being able to afford them was already quite good.
But comparisons were the worst.

Grace Winslow couldn't care less if she was going mad with jealousy.
She, along with Irene Lynch and Gregory Winslow, finished off all the dishes and meat buns.
She rubbed her round, full belly, took a big gulp of hot water, and felt completely satisfied.
