After Grandma Liu said "Old Liu, Old Liu, eats as much as an ox" in Dream of Red Mansions, why did everyone first startle, and then burst out laughing.

First they were startled, because no one could understand why Grandma Liu said these words, and then they burst out laughing because what Grandma Liu said really made people laugh, but because everyone also guessed that it was. Sister Feng made fun of Grandma Liu.

Grandma Liu is Lao Liu. She compares herself to an old cow that eats an old sow, and performs it vividly. People in the big family usually make music with poems, songs and rules.

Everyone laughed so hard that their intestines hurt, their tea was squirted, and their rice was buttoned onto other people's clothes.
