Saintess Zhu: Why? (3.2K, Please Subscribe!)
Once upon a time, Zhu Tianqing had believed that everyone who ate meat was bad.
Vegetarians could eat their fill too, so why eat meat?
But after experiencing life at the bottom firsthand and realizing that meat and vegetables with the same nutritional value could have completely different prices, she understood.
Therefore, when she saw such a large pot of stew with meat in it, she not only failed to get angry, but instead thought, Foreman Song is so kind-hearted.
Yet a question inevitably rose in her heart.
Hadn't Taihua City run out of meat to sell because of all the good deeds she had done?
Where had this meat come from?
Zhu Tianqing couldn't help looking toward Song Shan, who had come over to get food as well and clearly intended to eat and live alongside the workers.
Song Shan understood the meaning in the girl's eyes and explained with a smile:
"Life will always find a way. When some people ban something, others will secretly sell it."
Zhu Tianqing lowered her head, feeling somewhat miserable.
She hadn't actually gone so far as to want the entire population to become vegetarian. She had only wanted to improve the treatment of meat-producing spirit beasts. So why had things turned out like this?
At that moment, a worker beside her spoke up:
"Little girl, are you getting food or not? Everyone's still hungry."
Zhu Tianqing came to her senses.
Looking at the fragrant stew, every cell in her body filled with an intense longing.
"The spirit beasts that provided this meat are already dead. Even if I don't eat it, they can't come back to life."
"But if I fill my stomach, I can carry more cement, earn more money, and repay Aunt Zhang's family."
