"Qu'er, you ate random things again!" The City Lord Madam expected better from her daughter, grabbing her hand and lightly slapping it twice.
"Mother, I'm hungry." The small girl's face was ghastly pale, her voice weakly mumbling.
City Lord Wu was in a daze, deeply regretting his decision. To save on food and clothing and eat frugally, City Lord Wu mobilized the entire city. Each person could only eat one meal a day, causing the entire city's residents to get by half-starved. As the City Lord, he of course had to set a good example to rally the others. Thus, his entire family suffered with him.
Adults could still endure, but the starved child could only grab random things to eat from wherever. She probably grabbed the Heartbreak Grass growing on the side of the path to eat raw.
The City Lord Madam burst into a flood of tears, raising her head to gaze bitterly at City Lord Wu.
