The deliciousness of the chicken meat is imaginable, but the sacrifice of little chicks is something Wu Lan absolutely doesn't allow!
"Why are you so wasteful? If you want chicken or duck, go buy it yourself! Our chicks are just a year old, and it's about time they start laying eggs in spring, what are you fussing for?!"
An egg sells for ten bucks, and we have just a hundred or so chicks. What's there to eat? Isn't our home full of food already? And look at that cake roll you're holding!
"Eating can't even fill your mouth!"
The old mother is very angry.
Song Tan feels so wronged: "Didn't we agree to buy more chicks in spring to raise? We won't be short of our own to eat then."
"You said it would be in spring, right? But it's not spring yet, is it? When spring comes, let's see if our hens will sit and brood. If they do, let them hatch themselves."
