Chapter 43: Overeating
Liang Xiao, who grew up in such an environment, had long since developed her own strategies for survival.
It wasn't that she never missed dinner; going hungry didn't matter as long as she could compensate for it in the morning. Whenever she was punished by being deprived of her evening meal, Liang Xiao would eat twice as much the following morning.
The Liang family wasn't so cruel as to starve a child for several meals in a row, but it was a fact that Liang Xiao would eat enough for two people. Seeing Liang Xiao eat like this, her mother felt even more that Liang Xiao was not presentable, "Can't you learn from your sister? Eating so much, why don't you burst?"
