Yu Xiu and Fang Xiu felt a bit shocked seeing how many eggs were in their bowls. How many eggs did Qin Xue put in?

“Qin Xue, you put too many eggs!” Yu Xiu hesitated to speak up.

“Exactly! We’re supposed to eat these eggs slowly!

You didn’t use up all the eggs at home in one go, did you?” Fang Xiu also felt bad.

Even though they were the ones eating the eggs, it was such a waste to put so many in at once!

“Is it really too many? Why do you all look so upset ?” Qin Xue truly didn’t understand. They were just six eggs. Why were they all making such long faces?

“Qin Xue, you really used up all the eggs, didn’t you?” Fang Xiu was younger and more candid with his words since they were close to each other.

“Of course not! I left two for Jingtao to eat tomorrow. How could I have used them all?” Qin Xue wasn’t one to be greedy and deny the kids their food!

“Six eggs last us two days, and you ate them all in one meal?

You’re really something! This really shows that you don’t know how expensive it is to run a household!” Yu Xiu felt heartbroken.

“Well, it’s just six eggs, and it’s not like we can’t afford it! Why are you all looking so angry ?” Qin Xue looked confused at the three of them.

Hong wasn’t as upset since she had already experienced this once in the kitchen, so she had mentally prepared herself, and she felt much better now.

“Miss, it’s not about whether we can afford it or not, but that we can’t buy them without a ration coupon.” Fang Xiu rolled her eyes at her.

“Then just buy them on the black market. Don’t you just need money instead of ration coupons over there?” Qin Xue thought it wasn’t a big deal.

“But it’s much more expensive on the black market! With the money spent on two eggs there, you could buy three outside.” Yu Xiu had also bought things from the black market and knew how much more expensive items were there.

“Sigh, I thought it was something serious. From now on, I’ll allocate 50 yuan from this money every month for your living expenses.

As long as you keep the accounts clear and transparent, it’s fine.

Don’t hesitate to eat and use what you need.

You must understand that each of you is the backbone of your family.

If you don’t nourish your body properly, it’ll break and it’ll cost even more later on.

Medical bills and medicines will hurt even more.

So spend some small money for the greater good and rest assured. I won’t take advantage of you.

Didn’t you forget? I can treat illnesses, and I know what a person’s body needs.

If you don’t maintain proper nutrition and become imbalanced, there will be hidden dangers to your health.

your body will quickly develop issues, and at that point, you’ll have no choice but to seek medical help. Will there still be time for regret then ?

So, don’t hesitate to spend a little money now. If you can, everyone should eat an egg every morning.”

Seeing them all silent and not speaking, Qin Xue knew what they were thinking.

But eggs can be bought again.

If their health fails them, there’s nothing they can do. So people shouldn’t lose the bigger picture over small things.

Besides, isn’t money meant to be spent? Why not eat if you can afford it?

If you don’t eat now and fall ill later, you won’t be able to enjoy food when you want to.

“We understand now. We were too narrow-minded and didn’t see the bigger picture.” Hong was the quickest to accept.

Yu Xiu nodded in agreement, and Fang Xiu also nodded.

Qin Xue was right; they weren’t thinking far enough ahead, only focusing on the immediate gains and not the long-term benefits!

Just like Qin Xue said, money could be earned, but without good health, you couldn’t earn anything even if you wanted to.

‘Qin Xue, you’re right. You make a lot of sense.

It’s just that we’re too used to frugality after experiencing hard times!

We hesitate to eat even the smallest amount of food, leaving it for the men or the children instead.

We forget that we’re part of the family, and we too should be the pillars of the family.

So we won’t do that again.

Don’t worry, we won’t treat ourselves poorly anymore.

We’ll use our good health to earn more money, eat better, and have a better life.

Qin Xue, thank you. If it weren’t for you, we’d still be the simple women who only know how to do household chores.”

Hong had interacted the most with Qin Xue and felt the deepest gratitude towards her..
