Without waiting for Gu Xiaobei to speak, Ge Chunling continued, weeping: "My mother-in-law keeps watch over the rice pot every day, if Wu Guanghan doesn't come home for meals, she makes just enough to get by, cooking some sweet potato porridge. Can Xiaobao and I survive on this? Eating too many sweet potatoes can cause heartburn! Even when I pointed out this issue, she responded that Xiaobao is so small, how much can he eat? Last winter, we didn't even have enough cabbage, all she did was slice off a leaf for a soup. Is this fit for human consumption?"
Gu Xiaobei knew that the Wu family was stingy, but this was excessive. She couldn't hold back and said, "Xiaobao can't eat like that long term, he will suffer from malnutrition."
