Chapter 30 Domineering and Unreasonable

So she tried to coax the cake out of her younger sister's hand, "How about giving it to third sister instead?"

She didn't dare to actually try to steal it.

Even when her younger brother, Chen Xiaobao, stole food from Guabao, he was severely beaten by her grandmother.

But Helian Jiao wasn't a three-year-old child; she knew that food was precious.

So he said decisively and without any remorse, "No."

She wanted to save it for her grandmother.

Dragons are known for their protectiveness of food, and they only share it with their own kind who have been divided up.

Moreover, he is extremely domineering and unreasonable. He refused Sanni's request and even asked someone to keep it for him. He can be described as a truly domineering dragon.

Chen Sanni wasn't angry. She just took advantage of her inattention and quickly tore off a small piece and put it in her mouth.

In an instant, my mouth was filled with the sweet taste of corn and the long-lost aroma of oil.

She kept her mouth tightly shut, chewing slowly with her teeth, her eyes squinting with satisfaction.

Helian Jiao continued walking ahead with a smug expression, completely unaware of her sneaky little act of eating.

By the time we reached the bamboo forest, the half-cornbread had shrunk a little, but it wasn't very noticeable.

Sanni knew her careless younger sister wouldn't notice.

Other people were already pulling bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest; they were all little girls around the same age as Sanni.

Upon seeing Helian Jiao wearing a pink jacket, she asked with envy, "Sanni, why is your sister wearing new clothes again?"

Sanni answered while searching for bamboo shoots, "My aunt made them for me."

"Your aunt is so kind."

The girls all knew that she had a aunt who had married into the town and would often bring her fruit candies back, and they had long envied her for a long time.

Some idiots even asked, "Then why don't you have any?"

Sanni said nonchalantly, "My older sister and the others don't have any either."

Upon hearing this, the group of girls looked at Helian Jiao with even more envy.

At this moment, Helian Jiao also found a place with bamboo shoots and called out to Sanni in her childish voice, "Third sister, there are still bamboo shoots here."

"Coming," Sanni said as she walked over.

There are rules for pulling bamboo shoots nowadays.

To avoid people in the commune arguing and fighting over a few bamboo shoots, it was agreed that each family would have one plot of land.

She said she came with her sister to pick bamboo shoots, but after picking a few, Helian Jiao ran into the grass to chase butterflies.

Sanni didn't care about her, as long as she didn't go far.

Seeing her sister having so much fun, Song An'an, the little granddaughter of Old Song next door, looked at her with longing eyes and said, "Sister, I want to catch butterflies too."

Without thinking, Song Pingping said, "No, we still need to go home and do laundry after we pick the bamboo shoots, we won't have enough time."

If you don't finish the tasks assigned by your family, you'll not only be scolded, but you'll also be punished by not being allowed to eat.

After saying that, she asked Sanni with some concern, "Won't your sister get scolded when she gets home if she gets her new clothes dirty?"

She quite liked this fair-skinned and pretty little sister.

Sanni, pulling up bamboo shoots without looking up, said, "No, Grandma wouldn't bear to."

Upon hearing this, Song Pingping paused for a moment, then turned to look at her younger sister who was diligently pulling up bamboo shoots.

She wore old clothes covered in patches, her skin wasn't fair, and she didn't have the chubby baby fat on her face; she was a thin, small girl.

Song Pingping suddenly felt a pang of sadness: her younger sister had only just turned four.

Just as I was letting her go play for a while, I heard a scream—

"Ahhhhhhh!!!! There's a snake!! There's a snake!!!"

In an instant, the entire bamboo forest stirred with activity, and the little girls all took off running outside.

Helian Jiao's eyes lit up, and she threw away the butterfly and rushed into the bamboo forest.

"Where is the snake? Where is the snake?!"
