Occasionally, Richard would put food on Amy's plate. There had already been lots of food on her plate, so Amy had no choice but to speed up.
Amy had a good appetite. The food piled up on her plate wasn't a problem for her. Besides, she wasn't picky about food. Actually, she quite enjoyed eating.
Comparing her daughter-in-law and other women, Cathy smiled. She thought that Amy was indeed unpretentious. Amy ate whatever she wanted while other women only had a little food. Those women had stopped eating for quite a while so as not to get fat.
"Look at Amy. She eats whatever she wants. But she still has a very slim figure." After that, Cathy had someone fill a bowl of soup for Amy.
After Amy heard Cathy's words, she noticed that Hilary and she were the only ones who were still eating. While other women were looking at them.
Hilary was used to it. She was in her own home and wouldn't stop eating until she was full.
But Amy felt a little embarrassed. She looked around, discovering that those women were staring at her with disdain.
She could stop eating. But in that case, she would be hungry. However, if she continued, she might anger those women, which might also lead their turning against her. Holding the fork, Amy was in a difficult situation. She didn't know what she should do.
"A good appetite is a blessing. Amy, just be yourself. Don't worry about others." John said this with a gloomy face. He liked girls who had a good appetite.
Hearing John's words, Amy relaxed and stopped paying attention to those gazes. She realized that the most important thing now was to enjoy herself with delicious food.
"Amy, I want to discuss something with you." John also put down his fork.
"Okay, Grandpa, just tell me what you want." Amy hurriedly stopped eating and stared at John. She was waiting for John's words.
"I won't ask you to do anything. It's just a discussion. You married Richard. But Richard is not sensible enough to give you a proper wedding you deserve. In our family, this is not the right way to treat a wife. We won't let you suffer from such injustice." After John finished speaking, he glared at Richard.
Richard hurriedly lowered his head. He had been feeling ashamed for this. He didn't expect that his grandfather would mention this to Amy before him.
"It's fine." Amy waved her hand. When they got married, their marriage was just a contract. She never thought that she would have a wedding.
"No, we will not treat you like this. We will give you a grand wedding. Let's settle a date to meet your parents and discuss the proper etiquette with your families. I'll leave the wedding to Cathy and Sophia. Sophia is a high-born lady and always helps Cathy with the housework." John nominated the people in charge.
Although Sophia didn't want to do this, she did not show her unwillingness on the face. Instead, she immediately agreed with a smile.
"Since you're here, don't leave. Play cards with me later. Cathy, go arrange it and tidy up Richard's room. They'll stay tonight." John has made all the arrangements.
