Zhong Bingyuan had no choice, so she took a pork rib from another dish instead.

Zheng Lin stopped her again. “You’ve already eaten two pork ribs. You can’t have anymore. If you eat too much, you will grow fat.

“You’re thirteen years old now and you’ll be fourteen next year. You’re a young lady now. You must maintain your figure or you won’t be elegant at all. As a girl, you must pay attention to your image, or you will regret it when you grow older.”

Zhong Bingyuan’s little face wrinkled in a frown. After interacting with her mother for a while, she found the latter rather odd. She seemed rather eccentric. She could not understand why her mother was acting like that.

Zhong Bingyuan tried to take some prawns and crabs, but Zheng Lin stopped her again.

“You can’t eat too much of such things. Crabs are cooling, and girls shouldn’t eat them. Have some tofu and vegetables. These are good for your health.”

Zhong Bingyuan frowned at the tofu in her bowl. She did not like such things.

When Zheng Lin saw that Zhong Bingyuan had put down her chopsticks, she asked angrily, “Did you suffer too much in the countryside? You’ve never eaten meat and fish before? Yuan Yuan, you must remain at home in the future, and I will cook you the best and most nutritious food. You will have meat every day, but you cannot eat too much or you will grow fat.”

“Enough!” Old Master Zhong was fed up. He slammed his chopsticks down.

“The child is growing now. So what if she eats some meat? If she doesn’t eat meat, how will she get her energy?”

Zheng Lin said helplessly, “Father, she’s a girl. Why would she need so much energy! Girls are delicate. How would it look if she ate so much meat? Vegetables are the best for her health. Nutritious and…”

“Enough!” Zhong Guangping was grinding his teeth in rage. “Yuan Yuan, you can eat whatever you like. This food was cooked for you. In the past, when times were not so good, the children in the family could not have such food even if they wanted to.

“Now, circumstances have improved, and the children are growing. They can eat whatever they like. It’s not as if we can’t afford it.”

Zheng Lin detested this feeling. She had given birth to this daughter. This was her own daughter. But she was not allowed to make decisions regarding her daughter. It was an awful feeling.

“I have Yuan Yuan’s best interests at heart. This is a healthier lifestyle. If Yuan Yuan had not suffered so much in the countryside and lacked meat, she would not be like that.”

“Shut up!” Old Master Zhong was furious. This woman just would not let it go.

“If you say another word, I’ll shut you up in the backyard for a month and forbid you to come out.”

Zheng Lin immediately fell silent.

Mu Mu quietly ate his meal without saying a word. Based on his observations, he felt that Zheng Lin was not only mentally unstable but there was also something wrong with her way of thinking.

She seemed to have a powerful desire to control Zhong Bingyuan. She was absurdly arrogant.

He did not think that Zheng Lin had become like that because she missed her daughter too much when she was lost for four years. If she really missed her child, she would be pandering to her daughter in everything now that she was back, as if afraid that she will leave again.

But now, Zheng Lin was more concerned about whether her daughter would lead what she considered to be a good life.

In the room just now, Zheng Lin only talked about Zhong Bingyuan’s school and her previous talents.

It made Mu Mu feel that this woman was only bringing up her child according to her aspirations. If she felt that something was good, then she insisted it was right. Zhong Bingyuan should live her life according to her way of thinking.

She was a very frightening mother.
