The Living Can Also Starve to Death

Old Madam Li swaggered into the house and sat on the brick bed. "You have to help me. Look at your eldest brother's two children. They're so thin that they're all skin and bones! You can't leave them in the lurch!"

"Mother, it's not that I don't want to help, but as you can see, Zhang Miao is just lying there and can't even move. She has to take a lot of medicine every month. There's no food at home. I'm not having an easy time either," Li Gui said awkwardly.

A lot of medicine? That meant she had the money to buy medicine every month!

Old Madam Li's eyes lit up. If she saved all the money she spent on medicine, that would be a lot of money!

In any case, Zhang Miao was just a girl who would have to marry into someone else's family sooner or later. Instead of wasting so many years of rations on her, it was better to just let her fend for herself!
