During dinner, Song Yansheng and Shi Nuan went downstairs and didn't see Ye Mingmei. Song Yansheng asked Aunt Hui to go upstairs and call her, and five minutes later, Aunt Hui came down looking worried.
Aunt Hui said, "Sir, Miss Mingmei said she won't come down for dinner tonight!"
Not coming down for dinner means she's planning to have snacks as her meal. How can this be?
Shi Nuan said, "Tell her that tonight we made her favorite braised pork!"
"I told her, but Miss Mingmei said to keep the braised pork for her and she'll make it her midnight snack later..."
Song Yansheng furrowed his brow, stood up, and said, "I'll go and take a look..."
"Hey, wait..." Shi Nuan quickly grabbed Song Yansheng and said, "Let me go instead; Second Uncle is waiting for me downstairs!"
If Song Yansheng goes, he will inevitably scold Ye Mingmei. Besides, Ye Mingmei usually loves to eat, so if she's not really full from snacks, why wouldn't she want her favorite braised pork?
