Mrs. Wang chuckled. "Oh my! Juhua's the one who really cares about her new sister-in-law—worried she's hungry, so the first thing she does is ask about food. But she's going to eat with your brother in a little while."
Juhua felt a little awkward seeing everyone's good-natured teasing. 'The bride might not have to do any hard labor,' she thought, 'but she's had to be on her best behavior and follow everyone's directions all day long. She must be exhausted and hungry. Besides, who knows if she even ate anything before she left her home.' That's why she had asked.
Liu Yunlan smiled and whispered to her, "I'm alright. Not too hungry."
From her reply, Juhua knew she was indeed hungry. But since her grandmother had said Liu Yunlan would be eating with her brother later, Juhua decided not to press the issue.
