The dragon tribe's most beloved little princess found herself in an era of scarcity, lacking clothes and food. Fortunately, she had a grandmother who doted on her as if she were the apple of he...
Chapter 25 A clueless person
She thought everything would go smoothly, after all, what daughter doesn't cling to her own mother?
However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
Before she could even touch the swaddling clothes, Helian Jiao started wailing at the top of her lungs: "Wah!!!"
Ma Xiulian quickly scooped her up in her arms and soothed her tenderly, "Don't cry, don't cry, Grandma will hold you."
Once back in her grandmother's arms, Helian Jiao immediately stopped crying and smiled sweetly at her grandmother with her rosy little mouth.
Two faint dimples are both soft and adorable.
"Grandma's little darling! Grandma won't let anyone else hold her!"
Ma Xiulian felt her heart melting at the sight of her granddaughter, and her face was filled with tenderness and affection.
Her voice was so sweet it was like honey, making Old Chen's three sons shiver.
Good heavens, this is terrifying!
Li Chunhua: ...You clueless brat!
She didn't think that Helian Jiao, who was only a little over a month old, would deliberately go against her; she just felt that this girl was naturally incompatible with her.
Although her initial attempt was unsuccessful, Li Chunhua did not intend to give up.
So, taking advantage of the moment when Zhao Mei was breastfeeding and her mother-in-law wasn't around, she quietly approached and said, "Sister-in-law, you still need to breastfeed Si Ni, so your milk supply is probably not enough. Let me breastfeed the baby instead."
Zhao Mei thought she was worried that she would favor her own daughter, so she reassured her, "Don't worry, Third Sister-in-law, I always feed my baby first, and I have enough milk."
Li Chunhua: ...I'm not really worried about whether you have enough breast milk!
On the surface, she pretended to wipe her eyes and began to cry sadly, "Sister-in-law, to tell you the truth, I miss my daughter. I want to hold her and breastfeed her. She is a piece of my flesh and blood! I haven't been able to sleep well at night these past two days without my darling."
Zhao Mei, who is also a mother, deeply resonated with her words and could understand her feelings of "reluctance" to part with her child.
But a troubled look appeared on his face. "But what about Mom—"
Although she sympathized with her third sister-in-law, she dared not do anything to disobey her mother-in-law.
Seeing that things were looking promising, Li Chunhua immediately assured, "I'll feed her secretly, and I absolutely won't let Mom see."
Once the brat is coaxed into being inseparable from her, the mother-in-law will have to give her all the good things to eat.
Seeing that she was pleading so earnestly, Zhao Mei naturally couldn't refuse her "maternal love" and nodded, "Okay, then you can feed her."
However, Helian Jiao, who was able to eat and drink her fill every day in her aunt's arms, had no desire to switch back to being fed by her biological mother, Li Chunhua.
This time, before Li Chunhua could even reach out, he immediately started yelling at the top of his lungs: "Wah!!!"
Grandma, that wicked woman is trying to take me away again!
Li Chunhua was stunned for a moment, then turned around and ran outside as if her pants were on fire.
She had barely stepped into her own room when she heard her mother-in-law rush into her neighbor's room, shouting, "What's wrong? Grandma's here, sweetie, don't be afraid!"
Her heart jumped, fearing that her sister-in-law, that simpleton, would reveal her secret.
Fortunately, the sister-in-law wasn't completely stupid; she just said, clearly feeling guilty, "I...I don't know either."
As soon as Helian Jiao saw her grandmother, she stopped crying and continued drinking her milk with peace of mind.
Seeing that there wasn't a single tear on her eyelashes, Ma Xiulian knew that she was just making empty threats.
She wasn't annoyed at all, and just smiled and teased her little granddaughter, "My sweetie, did you miss Grandma?"
She always thought her granddaughter was likely to understand her.
