Chapter 197: We can finally recoup our costs.

Her question made Li Chunhua feel even more aggrieved, and tears streamed down her face: "Second sister, why is my mother-in-law so good to that good-for-nothing? I'm carrying the Chen family's golden grandson in my belly, but I can't even get a bite of meat!"

Li Chunshui comforted her younger sister, saying, "Little sister, I think your mother-in-law has been very kind to you. Look at how many other daughters-in-law can eat their fill every day like you do? Besides, your mother-in-law not only doesn't look down on the daughter you gave birth to, but also adores her. This is a blessing that many women envy."

She envied such good fortune.

Although her mother-in-law and husband weren't as sexist as her own mother, they didn't really care for girls either.

At the same age, the girls in the family ate less than the boys but did more work.

Moreover, although the younger sister was heavily pregnant and hadn't gained much weight, she was full of energy and spirit, and it was clear that she was living a comfortable and carefree life in the Chen family.

But Li Chunhua didn't think that way. She said indignantly, "I wish my mother-in-law would still be as sexist as before! Second sister, you don't know, before that brat was born, my mother-in-law's favorite grandsons were Xiaobao and the others! But ever since that brat was born, my in-laws suddenly started to like girls! And they only like this money-losing brat! Isn't that brat weird?! I really regret giving birth to her!"

Li Chunshui frowned upon hearing this, "You can't say that, Guabao is still your own daughter!"

She felt that her younger sister's thinking was almost the same as her mother Wang Dahua's, treating her daughter like roadside weeds.

"I don't want this daughter!"

Li Chunhua first looked disgusted, then said triumphantly, "Fortunately, Mother-in-law gave this wretched girl to the fourth son, so she won't be able to cause trouble for our third branch anymore!"

These words shocked Li Chunshui, who widened his eyes instantly and exclaimed, "What?! Guabao was adopted by the fourth brother?! When was that?"

"It was just yesterday! My mother-in-law wanted to give that damned girl to the fourth son so he could raise her with his money."

Li Chunhua looked at him with pity. "The fourth son is pitiful too. He has a girl who can't carry on his family line, and he has to spend money on her, raising a money-losing child for nothing. If he knew, he probably wouldn't be able to close his eyes in peace even after he dies!"

Li Chunshui quickly covered her mouth and whispered, "Little sister, how can you curse your own brother-in-law like that!"

If the Chen family elders heard this, they would definitely be furious with her.

Li Chunhua, however, said nonchalantly, "I was just saying it casually. I don't really want anything to happen to Lao Si. I just want him to come back safe and sound."

She's not stupid.

The fourth son has a high salary. As soon as he comes back, all that money will be used for public purposes. When the family property is divided, she will get more money.

"Let the feast begin!!"

Just then, the sound of someone calling for dinner to be served came from outside the courtyard.

So Li Chunhua stood up in a flash, her big belly protruding, and strode outside as if she were afraid that if she was a step too late, the meat would be snatched up by others.

He completely disregarded his second sister.

Li Chunshui didn't care about any of that and went to the courtyard to eat with her. When he saw the table full of delicious meat and vegetables, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

The two main dishes alone—braised bear meat with potatoes served in a large bowl and braised fish—are enough to make you feel like you've gotten your money's worth!
