Li Chengyuan couldn't refuse the girl's request, so he looked at Mrs. Li, leaving the decision to her. Mrs. Li appeared conflicted and turned to Fu Bao, asking, "Sweetie, do you really want to go to his house for dinner?"
"Yes!" Fu Bao nodded earnestly. "Grandma, I want to eat meat..."
Seeing Fu Bao's eager expression, Mrs. Li couldn't bear to refuse. "Alright, let's go!"
Fu Bao's desire for meat touched Mrs. Li deeply. She couldn't bear to see her daughter deprived of simple pleasures like enjoying meat regularly. With their limited resources, even basic necessities were hard to come by for the family.
Li Dong's excitement was palpable upon hearing their agreement. "Excellent! Let's not waste time, let's go!"
Since they were dining elsewhere, the Li family changed into their best attire, setting aside their work tools, and followed Li Dong as he led them to the village chief's house.
