Chapter 157 Large Quantities Not Found

At this point, her tone became both sarcastic and acrimonious.

All those good things should have belonged to her little baby!

Chen Jianye had heard the same words more than once.

Although he felt that his parents were too biased towards their younger daughter, what could he do?

Two years ago, he only mentioned it casually, and his mother scolded him severely. Now, he doesn't dare to utter a single word.

So he kindly reminded his wife, "Don't let your parents hear this."

Li Chunhua suddenly raised her voice and said, "So what if they heard it! They're completely biased, are they not even allowed to say a word?!"

Chen Jianye remained silent, knowing that she only dared to complain because her parents weren't home, so he let her be.

Li Chunhua continued her rant: "That wretched girl Sanni, she secretly hides away any good food she has and doesn't even think about sharing with her little brother Xiaobao! Now she's even taking advantage of her mother-in-law's support and doesn't respect me, her mother, at all. Ha, after raising her for so many years, all I've raised is such a heartless ingrate!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jianye frowned and said, "What good food could Sanni possibly have? Besides, if you hadn't beaten her so badly, Mom wouldn't have cared."

The eldest daughter has always been honest and hardworking, but also timid. She only relied on her grandmother because she was beaten last time and was afraid of being beaten.

Li Chunhua immediately retorted in a shrill voice, "I've caught her hiding food several times! And all I did was kick her once! Mom wants to send me back to my parents' house! I'm carrying your Chen family's precious grandson in my belly, even if Mom doesn't like me, she shouldn't despise her own son!"

As she spoke, she burst into tears, looking aggrieved and heartbroken. "I really regret giving birth to two money-losing children. If only I could exchange them for a son!"

Chen Jianye couldn't stand seeing her sobbing, so he immediately gave in and said, "Okay, okay, whatever you say is right, alright?"

In the courtyard, Sanni, who was carrying a basket of firewood on her back, turned around expressionlessly upon hearing this, put the basket under the eaves, and then quietly left home.

After dividing the meat, Ma Xiulian stewed the three bear paws and also killed a five- or six-pound fish to braise.

Everyone in the Chen family was overjoyed to be able to eat meat, and even the indignant Li Chunhua happily went into the kitchen to help.

"Mom, go have some water and rest for a while. We can take care of the work in the kitchen."

As long as her mother-in-law isn't watching, she can find a chance to secretly eat a bite of bear paw.

In the past, bear paws were a delicacy that only high-ranking officials could afford!

However, Ma Xiulian was well aware of her little scheme, so she put on a stern face and said, "I wouldn't dare trouble you, otherwise you'll be crying again tomorrow saying that I, as your mother-in-law, am bullying your pregnant daughter-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Li Chunhua immediately said awkwardly, "I just misspoke. Mom, please don't hold it against me."

It happened more than a month ago, why is my mother-in-law still holding onto it? She's so petty.

“I’m petty and can’t be magnanimous,” Ma Xiulian said without thinking.

She never intended to pretend to be a kind and benevolent mother-in-law; a troublesome daughter-in-law should be disciplined when necessary.

Li Chunhua: ……

She didn't expect her mother-in-law to admit it like that, and she didn't know what to say.
