thanks mummies.. My MIL is those super thrifty one, she used to keep leftover of her cookings and re-heat them till we finish.. can't finish in 2 meals, I'll see them in the 3rd.. but since we took over the household, and there's helper.. we set aside helper's portion before tucking-in, she finishes all the dishes on the table, leaving none extra.. I thought probably she just didn't want to let helper eat extra, but now, I am like a "xiao ren", I think whether or not she actually doesn't want helper to have lunch the next day? :-( I feel so sad.. so, starting tonight, we'll set 2 portions for helper.. sob sob, I don't want to be sued for abusing helper ler..
Just another "xiao ren" note: Hubby and I normally finish eating faster than my MIL, she'll nibble her way through..if we didn't keep a portion for helper all this while, I wonder if she gets to eat even proper dinner? :-(
