Two taels for a honey pot ?

Madam Zhang and Old madam Lin didn't know that they have unleashed the beasts that they shouldn't have, instead they all returned back home. That night no one in the Lin family slept, all of them rolled around in their bed because of hunger aches, they were used to eating three meals a day and now that they were actually forced to miss two meals consecutively neither of them could bear it. 

The Old Lin family rolled in their beds because of hunger yet no one dared to even think about spending the silver taels that they have set aside for Lin Che's academy fees, in their eyes this much suffering was worth it. As long as they sacrificed their comforts their son/ grandson would be able to bring glory to them. 

The Old Lin family had a hard time, they kept lying on their beds with clenched teeth all the while suffering from hunger pangs, all because of Lin Che - upon whom they all were placing all their hopes.
