Auntie Zhang cast a glance at her when she found a moment and said, "Yuanchun, is this all you’re eating now that you’re pregnant? Why didn't you bring an egg? Pregnant women need extra nutrition, otherwise the baby won't grow up strong."
Yuanchun lowered her head, replying in a muffled tone, "I boiled an egg this morning, but my mother-in-law wouldn't let me bring it. She says that Dabao and my father-in-law are the pillars of the household, and that any good food must go to them first. She says that as women, we mustn't be gluttonous. So, the egg I boiled was given to Dabao by my mother-in-law."
"Though, I don't understand how my father-in-law, who just sits around the house doing nothing, is a pillar of the family. Dabao and I earn the same salary, yet he is considered the pillar, while I am just a daughter-in-law who isn't even allowed to sit at the table for dinner."
